Yeah, you DID read that correctly! There are some things that Mama told you that actually may have directly affected your sex life. We all know mom has little nuggets of wisdom in her purse when you need them, like “You better shop around” and “there will be days like this” and you can’t forget “life is like a box of chocolates” but did you know the less creative advice probably helped you more. If you didn’t have a mom who was also a taller yoda (or the same size in my case) then click the jump and let my words guide you into your next relationship.

 
#1.)  Stand Up Straight.  Good posture and a smile can make people more attracted to you.  Our brains are hardwired to notice things like posture and facial expressions first, and things like looks and style second.  As an added bonus, research shows that good posture enhances your mood, which means you’ll be more open to meeting new people.
#2.)  Speak Clearly.  In one study, participants listening to voices that were clearly masculine or feminine rated the speaker as more attractive.  It also shows that you’re confident when you’re not mumbling words.
#3.)  Keep Your Reputation Clean.  A team of European researchers found that people believe what they HEAR about others . . . even when it contradicts what they SEE.  So, if you get the reputation of being a serial dater, you won’t attract people who want to settle down.
