And no matter if you\u2019re currently single or happily dating, the effect on your love life can be profoundly positive.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to feel sexier.\u00a0 But one of the simplest ways is the tried and true cosmetic, lipstick.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain.<\/p>\n<p>Psychologists have known about the \u201clipstick effect\u201d for a while. The term was coined after the Great Depression when cosmetic sales soared despite limited financial resources.<\/p>\n<p>It was later confirmed as a legitimate trend. But not without some backlash.<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, a group of researchers argued that women only try to make themselves more attractive to secure a mate.<\/p>\n<p>The theory was understandable unsettling, as it suggested women will do whatever\u2019s necessary just to find a man.<\/p>\n<p>But a recent study has revealed something new. A team of Harvard researchers found that women actually perform cognitive tasks\u00a0<em>better<\/em>\u00a0if they\u2019re wearing make-up.<\/p>\n<p>And they don\u2019t think this has anything to do with being desperate for a guy. Their conclusion was that a boost in confidence translates to other improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how I\u2019d say it.<\/p>\n<p>When you feel better about yourself, you do everything better in\u00a0<em>every environment<\/em>. You\u2019ll have better conversations, engage with guys on a more authentic level, and ultimately come across as sexier \u2013 inside and out.<\/p>\n<p>So how can you give yourself an instant confidence boost? I have three suggestions. None of them have to do with bright shades of lipstick, but all of them make you feel more confident in your own skin.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Like how you look.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This isn\u2019t limited to makeup. If you\u2019re not into lipstick and eyeshadow, that\u2019s not going to do it for you. But what\u00a0<em>does<\/em>\u00a0make you feel better about your appearance?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s being in good shape. Or wearing the perfect outfit. Or just carrying yourself with your head held high.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever it is, do it. Invest time in it. Take it seriously. This isn\u2019t just an exercise in vanity.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling like you look good\u00a0<em>according to your own standards<\/em>\u00a0will have a significant impact on how you interact with guys.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Embrace mistakes.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re not okay with making some mistakes along the way, you\u2019re going to spend a lot of time feeling very uncomfortable. Do you know why? Because you\u2019re human, and mistakes are inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s okay. Mistakes are also valuable learning opportunities. Even relationship mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Think about the dating relationships you\u2019ve had that went south. What could you have done better? (And, yes \u2013 he\u00a0<em>definitely<\/em>\u00a0screwed up, too!)<\/p>\n<p>Now, without beating yourself up, make a mental note to avoid the same mistakes in the future. And tell yourself you\u2019re perfectly capable of growth!<\/p>\n<p>Think of mistakes as an indication that you are growing and improving. A faster rate of making mistakes may be the best way to reach your goals faster.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Know what you know.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What are you good at? I mean,\u00a0<em>really good at?<\/em>\u00a0Do you know?<\/p>\n<p>Reveling in your own strengths may sound arrogant, but it doesn\u2019t have to be. There\u2019s value in knowing what you do well and acknowledging your unique gifts.<\/p>\n<p>It might be that you\u2019re really good at your job. Or that you have a passion for a specific hobby. Or that you can connect with people better than most. Whatever you do well,\u00a0<em>own it<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re talking to a guy, don\u2019t be shy about the areas where you shine.<\/p>\n<p>You can give yourself a confidence boost any time. Look your best\u00a0<em>for you<\/em>, think of mistakes as learning opportunities, and take pride in what you do well. Let the guy in your life see how awesome you are!<\/p>\n<p>The better your self-esteem, the more you\u2019ll enjoy the world of romance.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
