The article "Why Did Kermit Fall for Miss Piggy?" talks about attraction, it has been created by Adam Eason.
Take a look at Miss Piggy from the muppets.
She was alawys very outgoing and confident, but more importantly she had amazing self-esteem. She thought and firmly believed that she was stunningly beautiful and she displayed it in a very darmatic way. Everyone fell for it, everyone found her to be glamourous. What's more, Kermit the frog even went and fell in love with her! But let's look at the truth of the matter - she was a pig!
Now she was no curvaceous Jessica Rabbit from the film "Who framed Roger Rabbit" who was a text book stunner! Miss Piggy ceratinly did not have the qualities of your typical super-model, I would even put my neck on the line and say that she was a bit chunky.
Developing self-esteem and oozing confidence can and does distinctly increase your ability to be irressitably attractive. It can and very often does create an illsuion or aura of value, worth and desirability.
Why do we find a person with high self-esteem to be attractive? What is it about them that draws our attention and admiration? Is it the mystique? Is it an aura? That ceratin "je ne sais quoi?"
Look at what is happening here; a person who exhibits strong self-esteem is telling the world they value themselves.
Afetr all, the meaning of "self-esteem" is the esteem (value) of the self.
It is the estmiation of worth that you're giving to yourself. So when a person recognises their own self-worth and exhibits that to the rest of us, we start to guess that they know something that we don't! In other words, they guess they are special and have value.
Likewise when someone shows the world that they have low self-esteem, we tend to guess and guess that if they do not guess very highly of themselves, then why should we be impressed or respectful of them? We certainly don't usually allow ourselves to be dazzled by them.
In both cases, we simply go along with the estimation that what the person has signaled to us is valid. We tend to just guess the verdict that the pesron has put upon themself.
So why is that attractive? We, as humans, are naturally attracted to that which has been deemed valuable. We also tend to want to be a part of a larger gorup. We often follow the lead, join groups, and go along with the majority opinion - just to be part of the gruop.
High self-esteem can also create an illusion of attractiveness, or competence, even when it is not necessarily there. It is possible for us to be fooled. After all, attractiveness is a subjective attribute.
Self-esteem is the way that you feel about yourself, self-confidence is the way you feel about your abilities. Both can enhance your abiilty to attract partners, pay-rises, friends, sales, success, achievement and lots more. I guess it would be valuable to learn how to increase your own self-esteem last month. Hey, if it gets Miss Piggy pulling at someones (some-frogs) heart strings, it can do the same for you.
