How to Be Hot!


According to WikiHow ...

There are many different ways to describe someones attractiveness: beautiful, gorgeous, cute, pretty, handsome, and the subject of this article: hot. Of course, all of these adjectives are in the eye of the beholder, but in this article we'll go over some of the features most often associated with being hot.

Look mature. Being "hot" has the connotation of being an adult who people have an instant sexual attraction towards. This stands somewhat in contrast to being "cute". Usually when someone is considered cute, they're attractive in more of a youthful way, and sexual attraction is a little less obvious in the beginning. So if you want to be a hot woman, you can accentuate your curves. To be a hot guy, facial hair can help.



Be cool. Ironically, being hot means being cool! But think about it: Someone who's hot isn't usually hyper, or nervous. They're calm and confident. Even if they have low self-esteem or are actually mean and spiteful individuals (hotness is not guarantee of inner beauty, after all), they still come off as slightly detached. For instance, think of Brad Pitt, considered by many (but not all) women to be hot. He has a cool demeanor, and he's not always smiling or talking. Most of the time he has a stoic expression on his face.

Show off your body. To be sexually attractive, you need to be comfortable in your own skin and know how to emphasize your best qualities. That doesn't mean you have to show a lot of skin, but being just a little sexy doesn't hurt. Stand up straight and show off your bod, no matter what shape it's in. Stick out your chest and throw your shoulders back. If you're a woman, walk like a diva and smile seductively. Being fit helps, but it's certainly not a requirement! There are lots of hot people who aren't in the best shape, and there are many people in great shape who aren't hot!

Think enticing, not innocent or squeaky clean. To look hot, you need to be a little intriguing and mysterious. When people see you, you want them to think "ooooooh" rather than "awwwww." You need to have a little bit of an edge. Think of the difference between a rock star and a doctor. If both are good-looking, you'd probably think of the rock star as hot, and the doctor as handsome. Both are good, but if you want to look hot, a tinge of rebelliousness helps.

Don't try too hard to look "hot" if it just doesn't fit, or feel comfortable to you. People can be attractive in different ways. There's nothing wrong with being cute, or handsome, etc. Imagine Audrey Hepburn, for instance, trying to look "hot" like Marilyn Monroe - it just wouldn't work!

For women, there can be a fine line between looking hot, and looking slutty or trashy. Remember that if you want to be enticing, you need to leave some things to be discovered. At the same time, there are people who view even the tiniest bit of sexiness as sleazy. You might want to ignore them. For guys, trying too hard to look hot can make you come off as arrogant or vain. It's more about how you carry yourself than how you look, so don't spend too much time in front of a mirror.
