How to Become a Rizz God

Be confident and don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can up your rizz by cultivating some zen while you're chatting up a babe at the local watering hole. We’re not saying you shouldn’t care about the person you’re talking to, but realizing you’ll still be OK even if they shoot you down can give you that Clooney-level magnetism you’re looking for.

Ask questions when you’re not sure what to say to a cute stranger. Not only does it take the pressure off of you to keep up a convo, but the truth is most people’s favorite subject is themselves.

Smile and maintain eye contact. Studies show people are charmed by eye contact and friendly faces, so a genuine grin and attentive eye contact are tools you’ll want to have in your rizz toolbelt.

Be funny and lighthearted. Humor is a great way to keep a situation low-pressure, and it’s also super attractive. Just smile a lot, laugh at the other person’s jokes (even if they’re lame), and try to approach the conversation good-naturedly.
