Attractiveness

There are four ways to be attractive. First, you have the qualities to fulfill the needs of others. Second, you show confidence that you are able to fulfill the needs of others. Third, if you lower the love costs of others, you could become more attractive. Finally, you will be attractive if you are able to recognize or create situations that make you more attractive. Mathematically, attractiveness is written as:
attractiveness = qualities to fulfill needs of others +
confidence to fulfill needs of others +
lowering love costs of others +
situation forces
