What makes someone truly attractive — in life, love, and business?In this episode of Coffee With Dan – Beauty and the Beast, host Dan Meredith (@therealdanmeredith) and Laura Baker (@girlgainzblog) go deep on what really makes people appealing. From dating horror stories and “icks” to self-confidence, self-improvement, and the fine line between arrogance and authenticity, nothing’s off limits.They talk honestly about why loving yourself doesn’t mean staying the same, why looks matter (but only up to a point), and how the same rules that make you attractive personally also make you magnetic professionally.You’ll hear:• The truth about self-image, confidence, and why “love yourself as you are” isn’t the whole story• How to become more interesting and appealing without faking it• The savage truth about first impressions, energy, and personality• Why “funny beats perfect” every time• The parallels between dating and business (including the DMs you should never send)• How to stack the deck in your favour — from grooming and fitness to conversation and confidence• Why desperation is the biggest turn-off in love and sales• And yes… the absolute worst icks from both sides of the tableIt’s hilarious, insightful, and painfully relatable.
