The people giving out this questionable advice don't seem to like their single friends very much. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't do everything in their power to keep single people single forever.
Facebook WhatsApp Mail TwitterHave flashy accessories, a cross-eyed look, extra blush on the cheeks or mimicking gestures really - and let's be honest - ever worked?! And if so, what kind of horrible world does something like that move into? We doubt it and have dug out the worst dating tips of all time. So if you are currently looking for Mr. Charming, then we advise you not to follow these "tips"!
1. Fall into the paint pot
After all, you have to attract attention, don't you? Uhh no! A few years ago, the youth magazine “Bravo” gave tips à la “Many boys like fresh girl cheeks. Always use blush - it looks healthy and sexy on guys!" or "Want to come across as friendlier and funnier on guys? Go for yellow accessories." – Not necessarily the best tips to be honest. You're not doing yourself any favors with make-up that emulates that of a clown. And don't try to pimp your outfit with any yellow accessories at any price.
2. “Stumble into your crush. After all, boys find clumsy girls particularly attractive.”
It would be great if you fell on him so badly that he broke something. So you are in contact with your health insurance and your liability insurance for a particularly long time. NOT! Because stumbling isn't that easy! And generally there is probably no one who looks cute while stumbling. You should immediately banish this tip from your memory, because here you will only hurt yourself or him unnecessarily.
3. "Imitate his gestures."
Say, if he scratches his right ear then you do the same, if he bends to the left you do the same. Supposedly something like that subconsciously makes you seem more sympathetic. But probably only a few. Most likely feel more like lashing out or leaving the room as quickly as possible. Looking in the mirror is even more fun, after all, the imitating person cannot really take part in the conversation because they are far too careful to copy all gestures 1:1.
4. "Seduce him by looking at him from below."
Supposedly this is supposed to look cute and vulnerable. Admittedly, this works quite well for Puss in Boots from the movie "Shrek", but in the real world things are a bit different. All you get for that intentionally cute look is some pity and a slanted look from him - and not from below! After all, men are looking for someone on their own terms, not a cute kitten!
5. "Pretend to be hard to get."
Absolute nonsense! Of course you shouldn't follow him and chat about marriage plans right after the first date, but if you really like him, you shouldn't punish him with disinterest. You have to show him – at least a little bit – that you like him, otherwise sooner or later he will lose the desire to keep checking in with you. Also, honestly girls, why not just talk to the man himself? Equal rights for all and such!
6. “Sex sells”
In certain industries, of course, but not when it comes to love! A guy who only finds you attractive when you're wearing a mini skirt that just barely covers your butt or a shirt that cuts down to your belly button isn't even sexy, it's cheap. And you don't want someone with those preferences, do you?
7. "Bite your lip erotically."
Preferably firmly and with perfectly applied red lipstick - that way everyone gets the most out of it. With a bit of luck, you'll wet your pants so badly that you'll bite your lip until it bleeds. Admittedly, you would have a story that you can tell all your friends later, but only very few of them are really seductive.
