Tips on how to look attractive<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Looking attractive has long been a concern of
\nmany people, especially those who have to appear before the
\npublic.<\/p>\n
Their clothing and appearance has to match their expected
\nperformance while allowing their individual character to come
\nthrough.<\/p>\n
Mien R. Uno, vice president of the Indonesian chapter of the
\nBoston-based John Robert Powers school for career and personality
\ndevelopment, recently gave The Jakarta Post tips on how to look
\nattractive.<\/p>\n
In a bid to look wonderful, one needs to be in both good
\nphysical condition and a stable emotional state, said Mien, a
\nmother of two grown-up and successful sons.<\/p>\n
\"We cannot draw a line separating the physical aspects of a
\nperson from his or her emotional ones.<\/p>\n
\"Both categories complement each other.\"<\/p>\n
She said physical appearance was unquestionably an important
\nfactor for a person to make a success in public.<\/p>\n
\"A good-looking man or woman can easily attract other people's
\nattention,\" said the 56-year-old woman.<\/p>\n
She suggested a few hints for people to look physically and
\nemotionally marvelous.<\/p>\n
First of all, a person must be physically healthy.<\/p>\n
\"A person must know techniques to maintain his or her health,
\nespecially through regular physical exercise.\"<\/p>\n
She introduced face building, a new technique on how to
\nmaintain the \"rigidness\" of a person's face.<\/p>\n
She, however, argued that being good-looking did not always
\nguarantee that a person would be acceptable in society.<\/p>\n
\"Physical looks are relatively insignificant compared to your
\nability to control your emotions,\" she said.<\/p>\n
She suggested that a person must learn techniques to avoid
\nstress and other mental illnesses.<\/p>\n
\"A person must know how to cope with and control his or her
\nfeelings and emotions.\"<\/p>\n
She said a person's success in attracting other people's
\nattention would also rest on an ability to understand his or her
\nstrengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n
\"You must develop and master your skills and hobbies.<\/p>\n
\"You must put all your efforts into being the number one in
\nyour field of interest,\" she said, adding that at the same time
\neveryone should strive to eliminate his or her weak points.<\/p>\n
She said a bad-tempered person should not show his or her
\nanger before the public. \"It will ruin your strong points and
\nyour personality as a whole,\" she said.<\/p>\n
She cited a number of government figures who appeared on
\ntelevision expressing their anger.<\/p>\n
\"They should not act so excessively rude. It is not good for
\npublic consumption.\"<\/p>\n
Secondly, a person must develop good manners so that he or she
\nwill have no problem dealing with other people, she said.<\/p>\n
\"You cannot just be aggressive and dominating while with other
\npeople.<\/p>\n
\"Your mind should be open to criticism and feedback from
\nothers.\"<\/p>\n
Another significant factor that makes a person look attractive
\nand acceptable to other people is their brain, she said.<\/p>\n
\"A person must have a broad knowledge of many topics,
\nespecially on popular issues, so that other people will enjoy
\ntalking with them,\" she said.<\/p>\n
\"What do you think of a woman, who has no opinion on Andre
\nAgassi (an American tennis player)?\" she said by way of example.<\/p>\n
Men<\/p>\n
Above all, Mien said, the need to be attractive should not be
\nconfined only to women.<\/p>\n
\"Being attractive is not a gender issue, It has long been one
\nof men's interests in many parts of the world,\" she said.<\/p>\n
She recalled the Roman emperors who used to wear high-quality
\nclothes and many different accessories.<\/p>\n
She also mentioned the rulers of Saudi Arabia, who were well
\nknown for their perfumes.<\/p>\n
Mien, however, admitted that it was still uncommon to see
\ndandy-looking men in public.<\/p>\n
Apart from the maintenance of traditional beliefs, she argued
\nthat men's interests in upgrading their appearance and
\nperformance did not ruin their nature as male human beings.<\/p>\n
\"If a good appearance is important to a man in his working or
\nliving environment, why should he bother with such antiquated
\nideas.\"<\/p>\n
She said men could use foams or hair spray to shape their
\ntousled hair and perfumes to hide their body odor.<\/p>\n
Though supporting the idea of male grooming, Mien insisted
\nsuch ideas should only go so far.<\/p>\n
\"Of course, we cannot accept men wearing lipstick or skirts.
\nThose are only for women,\" she said. (imn)<\/p>",
