Body Language Expert Breaks Down How Appearance Affects Success | WIRED 

As a high school teacher it amazes me how attractive students get treated better. Even the teachers give them more attention. Unfortunately, some of them have terrible attitudes they think they can get away with. Often they do

My new fav quote- “Please stop worrying about what you look like as a result of how you were born. Let’s take what we have, and let’s see what we can do.”

Let's summarise:- 1)look good naturally if not , dress well and do makeup to change what you can leave what you can't (or shadow it) 2) be wired to stand out , be different if you can 3) be consistent build a image around yourself that says he is always powerful

It helps to be tall and attractive.

When you thought you weren't much to look at because of societal beauty standards but then discovered that even babies could potentially ugly shame you :')

I will watch every Joe Narvarro video as soon as it hits my radar. Wired needs to give him a full staff role if he's interested. He needs a weekly show packed with tips. The information he provides is priceless.

It's kind of fascinating that even across all these cultures, all these different types of people in the past that haven't met or interacted with anyone outside their group, somehow all deviated to the same, super specific aspect, like having something big and tall on your head as a symbol of power. It's pretty amazing if you think about it.

I have noticed people behave differently when they are dressed professionally. If you’re in a position to observe several meetings, observe people dressed casually (usually a Casual Friday) vs. a regular business day. The same individuals usually behave differently.

I'd like to see a video on how extraversion/introversion affects success.

I love this man. Can @WIRED post more videos of him? They are really educating. Joe Navarro could be an amazing lecturer.

I adore Joe's videos! He explains modestly, with proof, and logical explanations, if something doesn't know or is not sure about - he admits it. A great expert!

One more thing that was overlooked is the way a person speaks. The tone and speed of your speech will greatly affect how people perceive you.

I always look forward to Mr.Navarros videos 👍 I hope to see him more often in wired

Yay!!! Joe Navarro!! Thank you, again, for this video!

Very informative Thanks a lot for sharing

What an interesting informative video! Thank you, Mr. Navarro for all the informatotion you provide!

Thank you for sharing such interesting topics, I really admire this man. 👏

Thank you for sharing. I will consider your suggesting into my life.

Love Joe Navarro so much. Probably cause he's wearing a suit

Don't forget many, MANY narcissists/sociopaths are dressed beautifully/handsomely. Never judge a book by it's cover. Judge by character!

i love this guy, his videos are the best of the channel

2:12 5:50malcom gladwell 7:00 4. Perception manage 8:44 trust is our ability to relax

When I taught 7th and 8th grade we sometimes had dress up days. It was amazing how much overall behavior improved on those days.

In real life it's just like he said, when you dress up, people treat you better, and I don't mean expensive designer clothes, but just looking neat and put together. Anyway it's surprising that in USA majority of ppl don't think much about their appearance and wear just whatever while in Europe ppl put a lot of effort to look good.

"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!" A more perfect combination of words cannot be spoken, hail

It helps to be attractive in general but being tall and attractive makes it even better but being attractive is enough to get you where you wanna go

I’m 6’4” and fairly good looking and people bully me because of it. I’ve actually been walked over most of my life. Trying to learn how to get stronger.

Woahhh how come i didnt know that your video came out. Please upload more videos of Joe Navarro

" Please stop worrying about what you look like as a result of how you were born. Let's take what we have and let's see what we can do with it."

When I joined the Marine Corps infantry, I weighed 112 lbs at 5’11”. I got picked on and beat up a lot my first year. I jumped on the juice train & blew up to 190 lbs with 4.5% body fat in less than 8 months. The way I was treated was night and day. I didn’t change anything other than my physical appearance.

I like his speech calm soothing yet informative. Thanks mr fbi.

Good Morning 🌄 Mr. Navarro, , you have Reafirmed, and Honed, Many of my communication, and Interaction skills. Thank You, It's Basically what my Mother has been Telling me 50 plus Years

Yes, I agree it promotes one in a more positive light but maybe not when its gets too warm in these warmer temperatures !!

Joe Navarro is back!!

Three points-I am 5' 11" tall. 1. Many years ago a new IMax Movie Theater Opened in my hometown and my boss gave me her VIP Tickets for the Grand Opening Party. All of the city's business and community leaders were invited. I noticed right away that the vast majority of the men were taller than me and I'd say the average height of the men was 6'1"-6'2". 2. I can off the top of my head think of four college buddies who are 6'4" or taller. They were average students and all four of them are very successful. 3. The income inequality between very attractive people and average looking people is higher than the income inequality between whites and minority groups.

Very interesting ,also a antropholigical vision of "cultural codes" on each contexts. Congrats , good job.

Very informative interesting thanks for sharing this

interesting, thanks for the info

Fascinating info. As an older woman, though, comfort is more important than beauty! lol

Scientifically, shorter people live longer than their taller/bigger counter parts. Big bodies put more stress on the heart like dogs.

Superb analysis

Please stop worrying about what you look like as a result of how you were born. Lets take what we have and lets see what we can do with it.. Golden quote IMO.

In highschool I didn't have the best hygiene, even relative to most of my peers. I was always pretty nerdy, but I would always try to stand up for myself when picked on (not always effectively). I always tried to give every new kid the best chance, and tried to be respectful (though my understanding of what that meant was not always accurate). I wasn't shy about my enjoyment of most academics, and I was good at some I didn't enjoy (such as math) and enjoyed some that I wasn't good at (art, woodshop). Despite my poor presentation, my senior yearbook I was one of three students my peers considered "most likely to be president." Fast forward in life, most people wouldn't consider me very successful. Academic skills that seemed nice on the surface I was not able to capitalize on due to a lack of other skills. Life is odd that way.

Please do another video about what our grooming/clothing/makeup communicates to other people!

Interesting. As a life long fitness enthusiast, my conclusion is that health is beauty and vice versa….

Well social media algorithms is a testament to how much beauty and attractiveness matters to humans.

Richard Feynman's dad to his son: "Now, look at those humans. Here’s one human standing here, and all these others are bowing in front of him. Now, what’s the difference? This one is the pope. This difference is the hat he’s wearing.

Amazing guy

Regarding the clothes, I think it is not just about being 'well dressed', but about being appropriately dressed for the occasion. :) Grooming is definitely important always. But if you wore full black tie on a regular workday, people would probably give you strange looks. What a suit does for men, and a Galla dress for women, is it enhance their masculine or feminine physique. But it also create an appearance of good posture, even if you don't have it in reality. Good posture also signals self worth and confidence, and projecting 'I am a person of high value' to other people. This is actually the main reason why people find suits attractive; it is not just that it shows money/power/success (someone with great skills/mental energy, who have a lot to contribute with, and would be a good connection to have). It is that it enhances all the biologically most attractive things about men. (and the dress does the same for women). When you notice, being 'well dressed' today means to have selected garments of good quality, a look that is aesthetically pleasing and enhances your best features, as well as being well groomed and display good posture/confidence. Good grooming is what makes or breaks the look - not the clothing alone. Additionally, while past societies had a lot of focus on money and power, modern society place more and more value on character instead. Therefore, it becomes a form of power statement to wear baggy clothes and 'not caring' about appearance. The key here is to be well groomed and have good posture, even if you are very casually dressed. People who wear 'power clothes' are more often well groomed and displays confidence, than people who don't. But the 'power' of the suit is more how it makes the man feel about himself, not so much how formal it is. :)

Thanks Joe!

Interesting. Thank you. Peace 💕🇺🇲

Keep bringing Joe back!!!

It’s a great lesson on branding

Excellent 😊👍

Being short as a man is playing life in hard mode.

"Let's take whats we have and let's see qe can do with it". If we all have this mindset, in any aspect, our lives will be better. No doubt.

As a species, we have a long way to go. Giving value in something so ridiculous speaks volumes about what else we like to hide behind makeup and facades.

顏值決定一切？ 0:55 we prefer people that are well-groomed and well-dressed. 1:05 very padded shoulders 墊肩 3:53 beauty dividend 美貌紅利 5:49 height dividend 身高紅利 6:05 攝影機跟被照的人 6:21 presidential election is 9 feet apart. 7:37 the hair is straight down is perceived strength. 9:37 they're eligible for courtship 求愛 10:49 they're in essence saying 基本上是說

People here forgetting. It's not that you won't or can't be successful if you're short and or not good looking. It's just that it's a disadvantage to be that, which we all know is true. Stop looking for the exception to the rule.

Depends on the person who is interview you, her/ his mood at the time, physical needs at the moment, perception also plays a huge role. If a person is hungry will be negative, if had a lunch will be more positive. If the interviewer has biases will also make a difference.

Really good!

Yes

You could do a whole episode on Zelensky, Putin, Sergiy Kyslytsya, and Lavrov. Frankly I think Sergiy is incredibly underappreciated for how well he has maintained an image that allows him to bluntly cut through bs and rally support.

True

Clicked immediately, Joe Navarro

This guy is more of a history teacher than anything

I still wonder to this day, why did everyone in high school like me although I dressed really strange? I wore way too much makeup, really big hair, neon colored non matching clothes and plastic beaded bracelets up to my elbows. I was really confident and popular, but other people who dressed like me were bullied (until I told everyone I thought they were cool, then everyone stopped picking on them)

Richard Feynman's dad to his son: "Now, look at those humans. Here’s one human standing here, and all these others are bowing in front of him. Now, what’s the difference? This one is the pope. This difference is the hat he’s wearing.”

Nobody on the internet has anything better to say than this man does. He's as good as you will see here.

We can all agree that Joe is the “Man”

My last girlfriend told me our relationship would have been x10 better if I’d have had another 4 inches… My height was not a problem though.

As someone who is a little over 6'6'' yes I have seen taller people do well in sports, with women and have been offered more leadership roles. However I have seen shorter men try harder and have more grit in not giving up. But as the Stoics of Stoicism say, you should only think about what is in your control. So for the many times I wished I was shorter when I banged my head in doorway, was on an uncomfortable plane flight, could not find clothes that fit me or have people not want to speak with me because of the large height differential, I refused to even think a thought I had no control over.

I’d like to see a video on how money affects wealth! 😁

“ Let’s take what we have and let’s see what we can do with it “

I love this

So more drip is always good!

Of COURSE it does.

I do not know about the height dividend because that can partially be answered by parent income and thus diet. But, I mean - overall, we can also say the way one dress is also linked to one socio-economic class and we also have pretty good understand of upward mobility in different countries. In fact, the way you dress is a indeed a class mechanics that gives message to others who is in and who is not in a group. That being said, I do think that better looking folks, and those with above average height probably do better than those who are not...

It also helps to be born into one of the most wealthiest families in South Africa. That helps.

King is back

Very rare to see suits here in Hawaii. Years ago 30ish, men had to wear ties to enter most nightclubs. Now barefoot and bikinis seem OK. No matter what, people will flaunt their looks.

Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!

Such an interesting point about quinceaneras and debutante balls! It seems like prom, homecoming dance, etc. fill that purpose in the US

Помним этого эксперта))

trust is our ability to relax, because we know they will ot let us down.

This is buzzfeed tier insight

Can you do a Rubik’s cube video about how to solve 3x3 speed cubing method

Basically what we have in hand is to learn how to be properly dressed and how to carry ourselves publicly.

What about tall women? Tall men were talked about and how their height is a benefit. How does height correlate for women?

Most times, outer beauty means confidence or a sense of false bravado. But when someone is not attractive to society's standards, but has an overload of self-confidence in themselves irrespective of others opinion, they will stand out of the crowd enough to make an attractive person with a false confidence loose that "confidence".

One should be positive and hold finger for which needs microscop to see and act ahead

How and where to learn it?

I would like to know how money/wealth affects the perception.

I am short and thus unattractive. But i am happy and thats what matters most.

what is success?

Nice video 📹

This is interesting but unfortunately really only covers a certain type of 'success'. Certain type of appearances (which fits within someone's stereotype of 'that type of person' should look) is the 'easier' and fastest method to gain trust and favourability. So, actually, this is an essay on how appearance affects trust and favorability than it is about success as 'success' is subjective.

There is something called mindset and strategy they are above any beauty and appearance. (Im 1,95cm )

Does as long as height affects personality how you approach people and treat
