You Are Natural and Natural is YOU

Natural is the way to go.  And I do not mean only in terms of make up, though many men simply do not find excessive make up attractive.  In all senses of the word, it is wholly attractive to just be yourself.  If you are well, if you are physically fit, mentally stable, spiritually strong and everything about you shines and is noticeable – then you have already got “it”.

In a dog-eat-dog dating and relationships world where everyone seems to be competing against one’s own natural beauty with the materialistic and idealistic views of what we should be looking like, it turns out that the opposite sex is far more attracted to us in our purest state.  Of course if you consider nightclubs then the results would be different.  Men are not scoping out the clubs for women who are attractive in the real sense – rather they are looking for a quick thrill or just someone to hang out with them superficially for a short while.  In those cases, super skinny clothes or skin tight jeans may seem attractive on the surface but quality relationships, whether with partners, friends or other areas of life, are sought with people who are genuine in every sense of the word.  For example, a woman who is decked with the latest high fashions has her hair done from a salon, sports nails that cost more than a month’s food for a poor child in a developing country – THAT is not attractive.

That’s not to say that taking care of your physical appearance is not a good idea.  In fact, I am not adverse to enhancements either.  There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting breast enhancement or a man getting a hair transplant or any other plastic surgery for that matter.  There is definitely intrinsic value in caring for oneself and being happy with one’s appearance, but in my opinion only as long as it does not go overboard in the wrong areas.  The single best thing women can do to truly remain beautiful is to eat healthy nutritious foods, drink enough water to stay hydrated and maintain fresh, clean skin, exercise and keep an optimal physical fitness level as your priority.

A very important equation to this is to feel happy from within.  Getting noticed because your smile genuinely shows a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in life is what I am talking about.  As an expert on Social Media Medicine, I can tell you that if people were a little more natural on their networking sites, the possibility of meeting the perfect partner or fostering incredible relationships is boundless!

Popular men’s articles and blogs have often alluded to the fact that they find their women very sexy when they’ve just returned from working out in the gym, or if they’ve unknowingly piled up their hair in a ponytail while making a dash around town to do errands.  Or when they curl up on the couch in their favorite beat up old t-shirt and age-old pair of yoga pants that is fraying at the edges.

The key is to not try so hard.  This goes for men too.  The ladies definitely find a rugged, slightly unkempt and totally “real” man far more sexy and exciting than a man who appears as if a magazine ad has dressed him.
FIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BRING OUT YOUR BEAUTY NATURALLY

1.  Drink plenty of water, throughout the day.  It is important to get hydrated and then stay hydrated throughout.  If you are working out or are getting added exposure to the sun and heat of summer, you should accommodate that extra loss of water by drinking more.

2.  Let your naturally gorgeous features shine, enhance only those that need help.  There is nothing like beautiful, voluminous hair that bounces as you trot out of the gym and shines when you step out.  But it is not the same if you have to slather on six different products to get that effect.  Celebrate your positives.

3.  Be happy.  Get in and stay in happy relationships.  Nothing drags down a person’s healthful existence more than the stress of a bad relationship.  When you are happy, your skin will glow and the extra pep in your step will automatically enhance your posture.  Who needs plastic surgery then?

4.  Work out regularly.  It goes without saying that exercise is good for your health but the extrinsic benefits are far more than just weight or fat loss.  Exercise produces greater quantities of happy hormones and generates a positive aura from within.  You will feel and look great.

5.  Don’t worry about what people think.  By being emotionally free of inhibitions and insecurities, you are free to be who you are and that is exactly what attracts people to you.  Holding back or being cornered by societal perceptions of normal will only hinder your own true self from being exposed.  Why hide who you are?
