The recipe for sex appeal when on a date
The clothes you wear are critical for giving you sex appeal and getting a woman all excited when you’re on a first date. If you want to have better luck with women, wear something red. According to this study carried out in 2018, red makes you look more attractive.
Going to a restaurant on your date? A woman can also find you sexier depending on what you order. Researchers have discovered that a woman is more likely to find a man attractive if they eat foods that are more spicy than sweet.
A drink from the bar could also help you out in this department, but only one. In an experiment, people who had a glass of wine were considered sexier than those who didn’t drink alcohol at all or those who had several drinks.
Obviously, these results are subjective. After all, sex appeal is all about projecting confidence and being comfortable with who you are!
