Smiles are a classic, tell-tale sign that the woman you're interacting with is interested in you. The simple fact that somebody we find attractive is talking to us makes us happy! If their grin is genuine and takes up their whole face, you'll know for sure, but if it's all lips and teeth, she's probably just humoring you.

If she's twirling her hair through her fingers while you're talking to her, odds are, she's attracted to you. It's a fidget that often accompanies the sense of shyness when interacting with somebody you find hot, like that feeling where you don't know what to do with your hands.

How a person acts and engages with you in conversation is one of the best ways of gauging how interested they are in you. If she's asking you a bunch of questions about yourself, or trying to extend your chat by asking you to go deeper on whatever topic you're talking about, it could well be because she likes you!

Something about an attractive face puts us at ease, regardless of how much we know the person it's attached to. If a woman lets her guard down around you, leans back, demonstrates comfortable body language, and talks about herself openly, there's a good chance it's because she finds you handsome.

We've all pretended to find somebody hysterical because we want them to like us, and attractive people get this comedic leniency more so than you're average-looking Joe. If women tend to laugh at everything you say, even when you aren't exactly sure whether or not you even made a joke, that's a hot privilege in action.

This one is fairly obvious, but it feels worth mentioning for those hot guys who are a little slow on the uptake. Women don't often ask men for their numbers as they can pretty confidently assume they're going to be asked first. If they buck this trend with you, that's a definite sign they think you're exceptional.

If you're receiving unprompted good morning texts or if women are reaching out just to chat, it's a good sign that you're an incredibly attractive guy. They are thinking about you when you're not around and miss your company. This could mean you're simply a great person to talk to, but more likely, they find you very appealing.

Men aren't often approached in public by women, especially unprompted, so if this is happening to you it's safe to assume you're attractive. They might just be saying hi, asking where you got your shirt or what book you're reading, but what they're saying is "You're hot and I want to talk to you".

An initial sense of attraction can only be so deep, so a woman complimenting aspects of your personality, like your confidence or your charm, is a sign she has a deeper fondness for you. She knows you've probably heard people call you handsome before, and wants to stand out by appreciating something more thoughtful.

How you present yourself can greatly influence how attractive you appear to others. Therefore, if a woman compliments your style, it's a very positive sign! She recognizes that the way we dress and accessorize reflects our identity and priorities, so receiving such a compliment is incredibly encouraging.

Appearance is pretty all encompassing, which is why hearing this compliment is a huge sign a woman is attracted to you. They love your entire vibe, not just the way you dress or the way you do your hair, but all of those things rolled into one, they're saying the way you project yourself to the world is exceptional.

If women struggle to keep their hands to themselves around you, there's a good chance you're more attractive than you think. Physical touch normally only happens when you're close and familiar with a person, or actively flirting with them. To have that many women essentially trying to flirt with you all the time probably says something about your appearance...

Attractive guys often find that no matter what kind of gathering they're at, they end up with a couple of women following them around. They'll dip in and out of conversations, or position themselves close enough to you to catch your attention at a moment's notice.

It's no secret that pretty faces do much better on social media than others. Most of these apps and sites are photo-driven, with the hot and photogenic amassing huge audiences for no reason beyond them being pleasant to look at. If your posts always do numbers, then congratulations, you're attractive!

With attractive people perceived as more trustworthy and all-round good than their visually challenged competitors, it's common for women to feel safe around handsome men. This obviously has no bearing on how actually safe they/you are, as plenty of hot guys are also psychopaths, but regardless, it is a sign they think you're hot.

Do you often get compliments about things so specific and small that even you forget about them? It could be your eyes, which naturally you aren't looking at all that much, your freckles, or a piece of jewelry you never take off and slips your mind. These are a sign a woman is paying incredibly close attention to you, and wants you to know it!

Everybody loves free stuff, but as the average-looking masses will tell you, it's rare and hard to come by. That is, unless, you're attractive. Hot people will get drinks comped, double-sized free samples, and complimentary muffins out the wazoo as if they weren't blessed enough already!

When you can talk about something specific and niche in great and unabridged detail without seeing a woman's eyes glaze over, that's a sign you're probably hot enough to be doing that. They might not have many thoughts to add on the history of Middle Earth, but they'll happily keep listening to your lecture if it means they have your attention for a little while longer.

Being a head turner isn't always a good thing, but most of the time, people aren't staring at you because you're so unsightly that it demands a double-take. If you notice you draw stares from women when you're out and about, it's likely because you project an air of confidence, and women find that irresistible.

Eye contact naturally comes and goes throughout most normal conversations, but if you find that their peepers are locked on yours throughout, that's a message with intent. They're staring into your soul and letting you know that they're interested, they want you to know they're interested, and they're not blinking until you get it.

Women know how to accept compliments from men they aren't interested in, but the second they hear one from a guy they think is attractive, they suddenly short-circuit. They'll stare away or smile at the ground as if the lack of eye contact makes their giddiness invisible...

Small acts of service, especially unprompted, are a strong indicator that somebody is fond of you. Maybe the barista comps your drink order, or a co-worker offers to rub your shoulders or fix your tie; both of these are attempts to sweeten the interaction and make it that little bit more memorable in your mind.

You shouldn't be an ass to women, even if you're attractive enough to get away with it. That having been said, they will let things like inattentiveness, arrogance, and general dismissal fly if they're sufficiently into you, either because they find it endearing, or they like you enough to try and justify it in their head.

If a bunch of real-life, non-robotic women are flooding your direct messages, you don't need an internet article to tell you you're attractive. Average-looking guys don't get this unless it's specific to something they post about! Only hot guys get generic attention-grabbing messages like "heyy" from women. The more y's they include in 'hey', the hotter you are.

Dating apps are a bit of a nightmare for ordinary-looking people. They're a mess of conflicting priorities driven primarily by initial impressions formed from one second of looking at a person's face. Hot people get around the need to dig for compatible love interests because everybody just matches with them and messages first. It's like a cheat code!

This is like the default compliment for hot people. If you hear anything inquiring about you and your potential experiences in modeling, or nudges to perhaps try the profession in the future, then you're a certified hot person. There's no debate, it's an unambiguous sign you're notably attractive.

Attractiveness can hit like a gut punch if you weren't expecting it. Women might stumble over their words, lose their train of thought, or knock stuff over when faced with a sufficiently handsome man. This is a good sign that you're attractive and that you caught them off-guard.

Attractive guys know their calendars like the back of their hands, purely because of how often women are asking where they can fit into them. You might also hear them subtly, or not so subtly, ask about your relationship status, so they know whether or not they should inquire further.

There are some incredibly hot and intelligent guys out there, but more often than not, they only excel in one of these things. It's not uncommon for women to gas up a hot guy's smarts, however, so if you're treated like a brainiac for knowing how mirrors work, you're attractive.

A lot of women list a man's eyes way up high on the list of features they're attracted to, so being complimented on them is a great sign. They have to be paying attention to you to notice, and this is a sign that they really like what they are seeing!

Women aren't being subtle when they compliment a man's hands, but your digits alone aren't going to seal the deal. You can have nice hands and not be particularly attractive, but you'll only be hearing their praise if you have the face and demeanor to match!

How men treat you can be just as big of an indicator of your attractiveness as anything women say to you! One-on-one they'll probably warm to you, but in a group setting that involves women, they'll see you as competition. If you're attractive, you're a threat!

This is an old-school, tried and tested response to attraction. The heartbeat increases, the breathing accelerates, the cheeks flush and the face warms and these things can be hard to hide! If you're seeing these reactions frequently, it's fair to assume you're attractive enough to cause them.

Pretty people are easier to trust, regardless of how trustworthy they are in truth. If women believe what you say without needing or even wanting evidence, you're probably attractive enough that you exploit this natural glitch in the human brain. You should never abuse a person's trust!

Being attractive means you're going to have women pursue you, even when they figure out that they don't really gel with you personally. This happens to women all the time too, it's one of the downsides of being attractive! It tricks people into thinking they like you when really, they just think you're hot so they want to be with you.

Many men and women believe attractive people to be at least a little shallow. There is some truth to that, but all it takes is a nod in the direction of depth to have them suddenly falling under the spell, and labeling you "not like those other vapid hot people".

If you find that women constantly seem to agree with your thoughts and opinions, it could be that you're a charismatic smooth-talker, but it might also just be that you're very attractive. People don't want to cause friction or debate with those they like, and if you're attractive enough, most will like you by default.

The longer your list of celebrity look-alikes according to random people you meet, the greater the odds are that you're attractive. That obviously only applies if the named celebs are known for their attractiveness... you want to be getting "Oh my god, you look just like Chris Evans!" and not "Are you Rodney Dangerfield?".

This one can be very subtle and easy to miss, but if you're attractive and paying attention, you'll see it everywhere. Raised eyebrows are an indication that the person you're talking to thinks you're hot, it's partly about surprise and want you to look into their eyes!

Attractive people have a way of lighting up a room. You can be having a garbage day full of disappointment and minor inconveniences, but the second an attractive person is paying attention to you, it all melts away! If it seems like women around you are having the time of their lives, this could be why.
