• 2. Wear a unique perfume

• Smell is the strongest sense to trigger memories. Obviously smelling great is important for attraction, but be careful you don't wear a really popular cologne or perfume. You'd hate to be triggering bitter memories of an ex girlfriend or boyfriend.

• 3. Surround yourself with people

• For whatever reason, people are more attractive when they are in a group of people than when they are alone. So when looking for a date, bring others along with you.

• 4. Change your pitch

• There's a whole complicated science behind this, but in short: women like men with deeper voices because it represents a larger frame, and men prefer women with higher, breathier voices, because it suggests a smaller frame.

• 5. Smile

• Smiling can compensate for a lot of unattractiveness according to this study. We also naturally interpret smiling to equal happiness, and people are drawn to happy people.

• 6. Own a puppy

• Guys, puppies are adorable, and science has shown that dogs are the most attractive pet to women. A woman is more likely to be interested in a man who owns a dog. And 75 percent of women surveyed said they would not date someone who doesn't like pets according to a study by University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
