1. Healthy Hair

Of all the characteristics of a dime, I would assume hair is an essential determinant. Clean, and not greasy, hair emulates hygiene. Men adore women with beautiful hair that they ache to touch. Don’t be afraid to rid yourself of the classic ponytail, and wear it down. Men like variety, so show off a new hairstyle everyday. Most importantly, if you dye your hair, don’t let your roots grow in three inches before getting a touch up. It often appears trashy if your hair is unintentionally half blonde and half brown.

2. Clear, Glowing Skin

The best makeup tip I can give is to wear it as rarely as possible. I hardly leave my house without makeup (I’m sure most of you are the same), but when I return home, I like to remove it and allow my skin to breathe. The less often you wear makeup, the healthier your skin and pores will be. Makeup remover pads are a quick and easy way to clear the dirt from your face. Wash your face in the morning and before you go to bed, and if you’re feeling extra motivated, wear a face mask!

3. A Beautiful Smile

I’ve read countless times that the first attribute someone judges you on is your smile. Brush when you wake up in the morning, after every meal, and before you go to sleep. I’ve found that toothpastes with baking soda produce a pleasing result. If you have a coffee or cigarette habit, I would highly suggest investing in some sort of whitening product. Artificial whiteness isn't necessary, but it helps to pay attention to when your teeth are discoloring. Be sure to moisturize your lips, and don’t be seen with them chapped!

4. Tone Body

The body of a Victoria’s Secret model is not a requirement. Any size and shape can be beautiful. Some men prefer skinny; some prefer larger than average. A dime isn’t concerned with the scale, but she prioritizes a healthy diet and frequent exercise. It isn’t necessary to be 120 lbs, but it’s necessary to take care of yourself. Wear clothes that compliment your figure, but aren't too sexually inviting. Men like to wonder what’s beneath.

5. Light Makeup

In my opinion, too much make up is far less attractive than no makeup at all. Believe it or not, men notice. Even before your makeup washes off in the shower, pool, or after a deep sleep, men recognize the difference between clean skin and caked on foundation. Highlight below your eyes, darken below your cheekbones, brush some blush on your cheeks, and call it a day. That way when he sees you without makeup, he’ll realize you don’t feel the need to completely mask your looks with product.

6. Fun-Loving Personality

An irritating problem with beautiful women is when they’re overly conscious of their appearance. Being good-looking doesn’t give you the right to act superior to others. A fun personality can elevate a 7 to a 10 in seconds. Haven’t you ever met a guy that was decent looking then after one conversation with him, you suddenly fell head over heels? Inner beauty is an undeniable aspect in calculating someone’s appearance. Though it may not show on the outside, it doesn’t take long before someone’s personality is incorporated into their rating.

7. Self-Confidence

A dime is aware of her self worth. She knows that any man would be lucky to have her and acts that way in an arrogant-free manner. She speaks highly of others because a confident woman is not envious or insecure. She is poised, elegant, and sophisticated and rarely seen as vulnerable or a pushover. If a man treats her poorly, she doesn’t strive to please him, but instead leaves with her dignity.

Being a dime shouldn’t be your highest priority, but these tips are helpful in boosting your confidence. Maintained hygiene and a happy personality usually are enough to do the trick! What do you think it is that makes a woman a dime?
