Men should be confident, and confident men are more attractive. What do confident men look like? What can we do to make us more confident? Let's take a closer look.
1. Stand straight with your chest straight.
Standing straight is one of the 10 most important actions to maintain self-confidence. If you always bow your head and shoulders in your daily life, standing up straight is definitely challenging, but you must overcome difficulties. Standing upright is the most important way to show confidence in communication. When walking or standing, slightly pull back your shoulders and slightly straighten your chest, which is helpful to develop the habit of maintaining a straight standing posture. This small simple action can make a huge change in your standing posture. Expert advice: try to keep your chest straight in front of the mirror, and you will be surprised to find that this action will indeed increase your confidence.
2. Walk with great strides.
The gait of a confident person will never be described as "scurrying", "crawling slowly", "sneaking" or "sneaking". Gait is closely related to self-confidence. Usually, walking in stride is a sign of confidence. Expert advice: take a bigger step when walking, which will make you look more decisive, calm and calm. These all show that you are a confident person.
3. A firm handshake.
In English, people often use "like holding a dead fish" to describe the weak handshake in communication. After meeting and introduction, they shook hands with each other weakly, indicating lack of confidence. On the contrary, a firm handshake is a sign of confidence. If you meet for the first time, shake hands with confidence and strength. When shaking hands with people you have met before, you may consider using both hands. One hand can hold the other's hand, and the other hand can be placed on its elbow, which will appear more enthusiastic. Experts warn that shaking hands is not a wrist wrestling competition after all. Do not use too much force to pinch the other party's hand. In addition, the shaking time should not be too long.
4. Dress appropriately.
Imagine if you walk into a room with many beautiful women or colleagues, but your appearance is not neat, your hair is messy, and your skin is very rough, just like a "back street boy". The reaction of people in the house to you can be imagined. In fact, dress is an "objective language", which can also convey important information in the process of communication. Clean clothes, proper hair style, clean face and attractive body odor can all help improve self-confidence and successful communication. Expert advice: if necessary, you can properly use your own hair and beauty products.
5. Keep smiling.
The reason why confident people can laugh at everything is that they have nothing to worry about. Try this experiment: when you walk on the street or enter the office, smile at the person you pass by and see how the other person reacts. The result is that nine out of ten, the other party will also smile at you. It can be seen that smile has a huge impact on people. Experts suggest that smiling can increase confidence and shorten interpersonal distance.
6. Don't cross your arms when socializing.
When we feel cold, nervous or on guard, we often cross our arms and hold them in front of us. The messages conveyed by this defensive action include: closing the heart, feeling bad, not wanting to communicate with others, or covering up the negative mentality of dissatisfaction, anxiety and other emotions. Imagine standing in front of the club with a row of bodyguards who are tall and tall, with thick arms crossed in front of them. Do they seem to be the ideal person for you to talk, joke or work with? The answer may be no. The profession of bodyguards requires them to show such a deterrent attitude. However, most jobs require people to look cute, open and confident. Experts suggest that people should relax properly and not cross their arms during social interaction.
7. Body contact expresses appreciation.
Physical contact can express kindness and intimacy. A pat on the back can express appreciation and support. Therefore, when a friend or colleague has amazing witticism or extraordinary performance, you may as well pat him on the back. Most people will not be too excited by your gesture, but they will certainly appreciate the love and respect expressed by this gesture.
8. Avoid putting your hands in your pockets.
When we feel uncomfortable or insecure, we may unconsciously insert our hands into our pockets. When we feel nervous, we will instinctively hide our hands. As long as you put your hand in your pants pocket, you will leave a feeling of "lack of confidence". Putting your hands out of your pockets is a sign of confidence. It conveys the message that "a gentleman is frank and has nothing to hide". In addition, putting your hands in your pockets will make you more likely to be lazy and leave a bad impression. Expert advice: put your hands on the outside of your hips or thighs to increase your confidence.
9. Don't be at a loss.
Being at a loss is the most obvious sign of nervousness. If a person is unable to keep quiet, it means that his heart is very worried and flustered, which is naturally a sign of self-confidence. Hands are the easiest way to betray one's inner feelings. Therefore, to enhance your confidence, you must manage your hands and try to keep your gestures calm. In addition, after sitting down, you should avoid the bad habit of shaking your legs quickly. Leg shaking is also a subconscious action with tense expression. Expert advice: control your hands and feet to prevent small actions that should not happen.
10. Look straight ahead.
Among all kinds of body language, the treatment of eyes and sight is the best way to show confidence. When walking alone, people tend to naturally bow their heads slightly and pay attention to their feet. However, in the process of interpersonal communication, the impression left by "looking down" is "I don't want to participate in the conversation" or "I don't want to interact with you". If you don't pay enough attention to this aspect, you may habitually maintain this posture during communication. Experts suggest that we should cultivate the habit of "lifting the chin and looking forward" at ordinary times. Even when walking alone on the street, we should also remind ourselves of this.
