Hey everyone, and welcome to TopThink. Today,
we will learn about ten signs people secretly find you attractive.
Now, let’s begin. Are you an attractive person? We all
want to know what others think about us, but it’s not easy to determine how attractive
someone really is. What makes us attractive varies based on where we are, how we behave, and
the preferences of the people around us. One day, someone may find you irresistible. The next
day, you may not be their type. Does that mean you’re
attractive? Maybe, and maybe not.
We know that attractiveness varies from person to person. There’s no concrete list of
what makes a person attractive. If you ask 20 people which qualities they find most
appealing, you might get 20 different answers. Despite how cryptic and mysterious attraction
can be, we know it when we feel it. Even if we can’t describe why we like someone, we know
when someone grabs our attention from across the room and makes our hearts beat faster.
In other words, we
don’t always know what qualities make people attractive, but we
can measure how people react and behave when attraction strikes. Attraction is, after
all, a largely social experience. Even though preferences vary wildly, the ways we express
attraction are somewhat consistent. We tend to fall back on a small bank of habits
and behaviors, either to grab someone’s attention or connect with them on a deeper level.
If you know what to look for, these behaviors can be pretty easy to find, but ther
e’s one big
problem. People sometimes go to great lengths to mask their interests and hide their feelings.
They may be interested in you, but for one reason or another, they don’t want you to know. There’s
a good chance people you already know are more attracted to you than they’re willing to admit.
So, how do you know which people in your life, if any, are secretly attracted to you?
In this video, we’re going to figure out how to decipher the secret signals of attraction.
As it stands, you
may not know how attractive you are. Maybe you’re worried other people
don’t like you as much as you hope. But if you notice these subtle signs of attraction,
you may be more desirable than you think. 1. The Attraction Zone
Do people sit or stand too close to you? Attractive individuals have
problems maintaining their personal space. People tend to get uncomfortably close, crossing
into what’s known as the attraction zone. Think about your personal space as three
concentric zones. The oute
rmost zone is occupied by people you don’t really know, like
acquaintances or strangers. The second zone is reserved for people you know but don’t
necessarily want to be intimate with, like friends or coworkers. The innermost
zone, also known as the attraction zone, belongs to close friends and romantic partners.
The boundaries between these zones can sometimes get blurry, but we can generally use personal
space to understand how people feel about each other. If someone says they like you bu
t tends to
keep their distance, their feelings may not be as strong as they say. On the other hand, if someone
you just met crosses into the attraction zone, they may secretly find you irresistible.
2. The Sound of Seduction Many people rely on visual cues to understand
flirting and attraction, but auditory cues can be equally revealing, especially if someone is hiding
their feelings. Studies have shown that our voices change in the company of people we desire. So, if
someone is attracted t
o you, you may notice them adjusting the pitch or tone of their voice.
There are many reasons why our voices change around attractive people. For example, a man might
lower the pitch of his voice to make himself seem stronger and more masculine. Others may change
their voices to get attention seem more desirable, or simply because they’re nervous. In any
case, if you hear people’s voices changing, you’re likely more attractive than you think.
3. Psychological Mirroring When we meet an attract
ive person, we tend to
copy or mirror their behavior. If they cross their arms, we might cross our arms too. If they lean
forward, we might follow suit. Often, we do these things unconsciously, as if our bodies are moving
on their own. But here’s what’s really going on. Mirroring is one of the ways we create familiarity
with other people. We copy their speech, expressions, and body language because we want
them to relate to us. We want to connect with them on a deeper level by developing a
sense
of closeness and commonality. If you notice people mirroring your behavior, chances
are they’re secretly interested in you. 4. People Don’t Approach You
Here’s a fact you might not know about attraction. Some of the most
beautiful people in the world frequently feel ignored and overlooked. They rarely ever
get any romantic attention, which makes them wonder if they’re actually attractive at all.
Let’s break down why this happens. If you’re a highly attractive person, people may make ce
rtain
assumptions about you. They see how desirable you are and assume you’re constantly showered with
compliments and attention. In their mind, you’re constantly being swarmed by potential partners, so
they don’t bother throwing their hat in the ring. But what happens if everyone makes the same
false assumption? That’s how beautiful people end up feeling ignored. Everything thinks
they’re drowning in compliments, so no one ever makes their move. Because no one approaches
you, you may thin
k no one is interested, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
5. Effortless Conversations Do you have an easy time bonding with new people?
Attractive people may have better-than-average social experiences. They find people to be
friendly and kind. Their conversations tend to flow smoothly and easily. They rarely experience
awkward silences and have no trouble keeping their conversations going, but it’s not because
attractive people are better conversationalists. Their interactions fe
el effortless because
others may be doing the heavy lifting for them. Around attractive people, we tend to put
in extra effort. We ask lots of questions and demonstrate our curiosity. Why? Because we want
them to like us in the same way we like them. To figure out how attractive you are, pay
attention to the flow of your conversations. If people seem deeply curious about your life,
there’s a good chance they’re drawn to you. 6. The Look of Love
You can often identify attractive people by wa
tching the direction of people’s eyes.
We have an unconscious tendency to stare at the people we desire. We may try to look away, yet our
gaze keeps drifting back to those we desire most. If you’re a secretly attractive person, you
may be accustomed to people looking at you. When you look back, they may quickly turn their
heads, pretending to look at something else. But it doesn’t take long before their eyes drift
back to you. Why? Because they secretly desire you more than anyone.
7. The H
umor Bias Studies show that attractive people aren’t any
funnier than the rest of us, yet they easily make people laugh or smile. Almost everything they
say receives a positive reaction. Even if they make a stupid joke, the world seems to find them
hilarious. Our brains are biased toward attractive people. We assume that they’re funnier than they
are simply because we find them irresistible. If you’re a secretly attractive person, a
similar experience may have happened to you before. People
may laugh at everything you
say, even if it’s not funny. You wonder if you’ve got a great sense of humor; the truth may
be that you’re more attractive than you realize. 8. Social Magnetism
Attractive people possess a special kind of social magnetism. People don’t just want to be
closer to you; they want to be more like you. So, they end up copying the things you do, chasing
after you like a shadow stuck to their feet. If you walk into another room, they follow. If you
sit down at a table,
others rush to your side. As an attractive person, you may feel like a
trendsetter. You may notice others pulled into your natural gravity, following in your footsteps.
If you ever feel like a social magnet, everyone may already know how irresistible you are.
9. The Talent Show Have you ever talked to someone who continuously
bragged about their achievements? They boast about how much money they make or what car they drive.
They name-drop high-profile people as if those names are going to wi
n you over. You may think
they’re arrogant or entitled, but there may be another reason people are bragging around you.
Many people get nervous and insecure around those they find attractive. They want people
like you to appreciate and pay attention to them. Why? Because everyone knows how
great and attractive you already are. Around you, people feel like they have something
to prove. They may start bragging just to even the playing field. They talk a big game, but
the truth is that you mak
e them insecure. No matter how much they show off their talents,
they’ll always be more impressed by you. 10. Sharing Their Status
Here’s a common sign of attraction that many people overlook. If you’re
an attractive person, people may go out of their way to share their relationship status. They
say things like, “I’m so single right now,” or, “I don’t even think about my ex anymore.” Comments
like these advertise their availability. People want you specifically to know that they’re single
b
ecause you are someone they find attractive. Like many of the signs on this list,
context is very important here. For example, if someone is upset about a past relationship,
sharing their current status may not signify anything romantic. On the other hand, if someone
tells you multiple times how single they are, they may be secretly interested in you.

OMG that's literally me. I've been TOLD by friends I'm attractive, but literally people don't approach me, especially in environments where men and women are at (and are single).
video starts 2:24 your welcome
Whoever is reading this comment, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re battling with makes your situation better as you’re continuing to be a better person each day. I have faith that you’ll turn out stronger as your circumstances will improve. Have a great day! You got this! 🤗💪🏼❤😍😉
THANKYOU for the auditory queues! Finally something besides visual queues, something helpful for the visually impaired.
Now, I know the truth. 😂 I applied this to some one I used to know. It makes a lot of sense. I’m flattered!
I'm Korean and its soo easy for me in Korea to know whether I'm attractive or not. If you are, people will say it all the time. If not, nobody will mention it (despite what being said online). In Europe however, I never get any compliments and babies the only reminders that I look good 😅 although I'm confident enough and don't need flattery, but for others it might be hard
I never considered myself attractive, but the parts about following, standing too close resonated with me. It really got on my nerves.
The prettiest and most popular girl in our school constantly gets showered with compliments, but i did noticed that people close to her rarely compliments her
I will forever clap for others until it's my turn 🎉🎉
Attractiveness is simply just that - attractive. No mystery about it.😊
lol its mixed for me, nobody tries to mirror me and thinks I'm funny. Also no social magnetism thing, but other things are relatable

In the personal zone how does one know if a person is attracted to you ,or just likes you as a close friend ?
i fit every category for some reason
This makes a lot of sense. 😂 now I understand why certain people act like this towards me 😊 P.S. my jokes are funny 😂😂😂 might not always be PG, but I’m funny ✨🥰😋
Im the quiet kid at my school so most of the time no one approaches me. Yay Im not ugly. ANd im not one of those quiet kids you see in memes. Im just introverted.
The only signs of those I can fit in is "people don't approach you" and "the humor bias", but I think it just might mean I'm weird yet very funny?
