3 EXPLORE THE VERTICAL
Women rate tall men as more sexually attractive than shorter guys, and tall men are more likely to find a mate. Proof: A study of more than 10,000 people found that men 5'10" or taller were more likely than average-height men (5'7") to be married and have children.
Wear pinstripes. Vertical lines enhance your height, and it's easier than standing on your toes.

4 SHOW OFF YOUR TESTOSTERONE
"Women are looking for men with good genes so their children can have good genes," says Devendra Singh, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas. One thing they're noticing, probably without realizing it, is a man's waist-to-hip ratio. In cross-cultural studies, women rate men with 0.8 to 0.95 ratios (almost a straight line) as most appealing. "Women are unconsciously performing these calculations-judging men on the basis of how body fat is distributed," she says. The ratio is an indicator of testosterone.
Testosterone inhibits fat in the buttocks and waist but allows it in the upper body, explains Singh. So when a man has a large waist or butt, it indicates low testosterone, and a woman will consider him less attractive.
Wear clothes that fit you right, and complement it with a belt that puts everything in place. This clean, undistorted finish creates a visual line from your neck to your thighs, which conveys an appealing waist-to-hip ratio, according to Michael Cunningham, PhD.
