What are the traits of attractive nomads?

Attractiveness is based on the proportion of people liking or disliking a person based on their photo on Nomad.com's dating app. It does not show any of these traits in their profile when they rate them. People who are rated as attractive based on their photo are more likely to have these traits. TL;DR hot people have specific traits, but those specific traits don't necessarily make you hot (you could always try though).
