Is being thought of as "hot" something everybody can achieve if they work hard enough on their physical appearance or it's genetics?

Question

Genetics plays a large part.
People can maximize their attractiveness by being in good physical condition. But their natural body shape makes it easier to be hot. Some people are just naturally gorgeous.

Some people don't have naturally attractive faces.

Attractive skin is important.

Shorter guys can be cute and attractive, but being taller is an advantage. Bone structure is important. So is good hair. Minimum dick size is also a factor.

Beyond getting fit, there's not much that women can do about their natural body shape. Certain body shapes with smooth, round curves, are thought of more universally as hot. But then again, different guys have different tastes. Some prefer big boobs, some prefer small. Some prefer thin women and some go crazy over thick hips, thighs, and huge asses. Sex appeal is subjective.

But there are other factors besides genetics. Style can make a person hotter. Grooming, hair style, nails, clothes. Makeup for women. Facial hair for men.

And personality plays a huge role. Some people have charisma and sex appeal. Intellect and wit can also be extremely appealing. So can talent.

But, in general, I think "hot", as opposed to appealing, has more to do with genetics.

People use these words differently. I think when most people use words like 'pretty' and 'beautiful' it refers mostly to the face. Not much can be done to drastically change the face other than plastering tons of make-up, which most guys don't like. Although a nice smile makes a huge difference no matter what else they look like.

'Hot' on the other hand tends to mean sexually attractive. So it is far more than just the face. Someone with an average, or even below average face, can be hot. As long as they keep themselves trim and healthy looking. Then through a combination of their dress, body language, movements and attitude, I think most women can be hot.

I have seen women with below average faces who are far hotter than a woman who is a 10 in the face. Some women just exude sexuality, and the face is only a minor factor.

So I would not say that everyone can achieve hotness, but most can. I think it would take a lot of work for some, like if they have a crappy attitude and a resting bitch face. Because that is largely about the inner self, which is harder to change.

I know people who exercise and diet obsessively and devote their entire lives to perfecting their appearance to attract men and their likelihood of divorce and rejection is the same as everyone else, if not even higher.

In the end, being nice, and having a healthy but reasonable interest in fitness is what matters. Normal people want normal people and not olympic runners or fashion models.

For women working hard and having the right weight is not enough. Unfortunately women need to change some features too. Unlike hot men women need plastic surgeries and even after those changes very few of them can look hot. Still if we remove their makeup most of them will look pale.

The perception of being "hot" is subjective and influenced by both genetics and the effort one puts into their appearance. While genetics play a role in features, anyone can enhance their attractiveness through grooming, fashion, fitness, and confidence. It's about finding what makes you feel good and accentuating your unique traits. 🌟 Confidence and self-care often shine brighter than any genetic trait. Keep smiling and embracing your individuality! 😄

I think even an ugly guy could become hot or hot-ish, if he spent a lot of time working out and got into really good shape. He probably couldn't become a 10, but he could definitely become f**kable, which I think is what "hot" means.

Most women could be at least somewhat attractive if they got their body fat low enough, as long as their muscle tone was decent. If that wasn't enough to make them hot, breast implants would probably get them over the line.

So yeah, like ninety to ninety-five percent of people could become hot, if they really really wanted to.

morganherrel · Answer

Genetics play a huge role in how hard it is. BUT if you're a girl, you can control so much of your attractiveness.

For example, if you're in the U. S., then just by having a fit body + taking good care of your skin + thoughtful styling, you are instantly in the top 10-20% of women—and this assumes you have an ugly face.

If you have an average / above-average face, then you can become *extremely* hot just by mastering these elements that are entirely within your control.

Other people have said it better than me: an American girl just needs to be "not fat" in order to be instantly "hot". That's how dire the dating pool is today lol.

Caroline91 · Answer

I think it is a lot more than just looks to really be hot. How someone moves, their voice, their attitude, their personality all play into it. Yes, good hygiene, and personal care are part of it. But, there's a certain "it" factor that the person just has.

TonyV · Answer

No, sad truth is no, some people just loose at the genetic lottery. Some people have stunt growth or get nothing from puberty so they always look like a child so only a pedo would find them hot, tragic birth defects leave some people all messed up and stuck in a wheelchair...

Point is there are some people that will never meet societies idea of hot despite how much effort they put in.

Peter_Penetrator · Answer

What makes a person more attractive is their health. Now that GLP-1 drugs are available, and will soon become affordable, those that have issues dropping weight will be able to do so. I happen to be on maintenance medication and until a better replacement comes along, that medication makes losing weight hard. But l will take the weight gain over why l am on maintenance medication to begin with.

Makeushiver · Answer

Well, the woman shown in the photo certainly has the essence of hotness. It's not simply looks though. It usually entails an attitude, intelligence and certainly confidence, The hair blown look as shown in pic is often a part of the hot formula. It's also in the eyes, mouth and even then its more than physical. I've met women who were not conventionally beautiful but had hot nailed and some who were very attractive but didn't create the desire that hot often does.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Not everybody. But you can almost always make yourself look better. Especially all that's holding you back is a big body and a chubby face.

A lot of people would be really good looking if they dropped 50 pounds

joshjosh1156 · Answer

It’s gotta be both I’d imagine. Some people are gonna be just born naturally hot but lifestyle choices can make them lose it. Others can be born less attractive and definitely do the work to get themselves where they wanna be in terms of hot.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Eh... you can go a long way on hard work, but I think "hot" boils down to genetics more often than anyone wants to admit.

thegreenyogi · Answer

It's a bit of both those things. But most importantly being hot is connected to self confidence. If you're not confident chances are very low that you'll be regarded as hot I think.

Nope, and the reason being is this. Every girl that I have or will date is a 10 to me. Even if she is only a 3 to everyone else. So what is hot to one person may be ice to another….
