Legitimately Useful Dating Tips to Learn from "Jersey Shore"

Lauren Romano
" Jersey Shore" may be one of the last shows you would think you could pick up any useful dating tips but there are actually quite a few things to learn from watching the show about how to attract someone. From how you look to how you act, making a few adjustments can help you pick up the type of person you want.

Love Who You Are

If the members of "Jersey Shore" didn't love who they were, it would be easy to be affected by all the negative comments said about them and the show. While they may have moments or days where it bothers them, they don't seem to let it bother them very much. When you love who you are, it's easy to believe in yourself and love yourself even if there are those that don't. If someone you're dating is trying to change who you are or puts you down, kick them to the curb and realize that you are better than the derogatory comments they make.

Make No Apologies for Who You Are

Each member of "Jersey Shore" knows who they are and makes no apologies for it. Even if other people don't like who they are, whether it be other members of the house or viewers, they usually don't let it get them down for long. If they like something, they do, wear or say it regardless of what anyone else thinks. Take 'The Situation' for example. He may make some over the top, cocky sounding statements at times and takes flack for them but he has a take-me-or-leave-me attitude. Own up to the person you are and never be afraid to express your interest in any person, place or thing that makes you happy.

Don't Tolerate Disrespect

While they may not always handle the disrespect in the most rational manner, the members of "Jersey Shore," well most of them anyway, don't tolerate disrespect. There have been many instances on the show where one of the guys disrespected one of the girls or vice versa and they never hesitated to express their displeasure about the incident. It doesn't matter if it's a friend or someone you're dating, let the person know if they do something you're not happy with. People aren't mind readers so unless you speak your mind, they will most likely continue those actions not knowing how much they bother you. Even if they know and you don't say anything, it's almost as though you're giving them permission to do it again. You may want to do so in less dramatic fashion, as in no hand-to-face contact and no screaming.

Exude Confidence

Each person on "Jersey Shore" exudes plenty of confidence even if they probably aren't feeling their greatest that day. Even if you are having a day where you don't feel or look your greatest, fake it anyway. There's a difference between someone wanting to compliment you and someone complimenting you because they feel they have to. No one usually wants to have to do the latter and no one wants to feel as though if they were to be with you that you're going to constantly need them to give you an ego boost. If you want someone to attract someone worthwhile, make sure to have your confidence shine through and let them know you are perfectly content with or without their compliments.

Take Care of Yourself

Even if you hate the phrase "GTL," you have to admit there's some sense behind it. When you exercise, you look and feel better. As far as the tanning, it's no secret that it's not good for you, so if you want tan skin without the UV rays there are many sunless tanning options. For laundry, obviously your clothes should be clean but they also need to look neat. In addition, eat as well as you possibly can considering what you eat not only affects the inside of your body but can also reflect on your appearance. When you take care of yourself, you're not only more likely to attract someone, but someone that also believes in taking care of themselves.

Look Your Best

Before you leave the house, make sure to look as great as you possibly can. Do your hair neatly, take the time to put on makeup if you wear any and wear clothes that you chose carefully. In addition to neat looking clothes, you should also feel amazing in them. The "Jersey Shore" group doesn't walk out of the house for a night out unless they are convinced that they look great. One of the worst things to do when you're going out and want to look and feel your best is to make a rush decision on your outfit. When you feel attractive and comfortable, you're going to put out positive and happy vibes.

Even if you aren't a fan of "Jersey Shore," you will undoubtedly be able to use these tips in your dating life. They will not only help you attract who you want but can also help you feel more confidant and comfortable with yourself.
