The "Marilyn Monroe Effect" is trending on TikTok and it's helping women attract men.
The "Marilyn Monroe Effect" is a psychological phenomenon that explains how Marilyn Monroe went from Norma Jean to Marilyn Monroe, the star with all eyes on her. This all is because of how she carried herself. And What's fascinating is that should could turn it on or off.
There's a story about how she could walk around in public in normal clothes and no one would notice her, but when she flipped a switch, if you will, and "became" Marilyn people instantly noticed her. (Read about that story here.)
TikToker, Mikaela Wilson explained:
“Psychologists are constantly using this to explain to their patients that confidence really is how you carry yourself and being attractive is really just about your body language.”
There are 5 "rules" when trying to using the "Marilyn Monroe Effect"
- Have open body language (don’t be staring at your phone the whole time. Look approachable, keep your chin high and shoulders back.)
- Make eye contact with people
- Walk slowly, and control body movement (don’t be rushing and no chaotic body movement.)
- Position yourself properly in the room (don’t be in the corner or the back. Make yourself the focus.)
- Smile back at people
