These 6 Things make You Attractive to Women

Hint: It is not only a sixpack and money.

What makes a woman attractive to men?

Most of the time it is enough to be pretty. We men are not too complicated in that respect.

Of course, that’s an exaggeration.

But what is certain is that women are more selective and a man has to tick several boxes.

Let’s take a closer look at these boxes.

1. Be nice. Not a nice guy

This headline may sound confusing.

Let me explain it to you.

Many men think that by being nice they can get a woman’s heart and/or get her into bed. They are only nice because they want something in return: most of the time sex. This behavior is always picked up by women and seems very unattractive. It is also known as the nice guy syndrome.

In contrast, it is even more attractive if you do one of the following things:

• You help old people across the street
• You offer your seat on the bus to women with children or old people
• You are good with small children
• You like dogs

…and much more. I think you understand what I mean.

What these things have in common is that you do them without wanting to benefit from them. You are genuinely nice. Not a nice guy.

A 2016 study by the University of Guelph and Nipissing University found that men who engage in selfless acts, such as donating blood, have more sex.

2. Body Language

This is an underrated one I think. It is so powerful.

Our body language says an incredible amount about us. Whether we realize it or not. How you walk, stand, and face others reveals a lot. If you manage to demonstrate confidence through your body language, it looks enormously attractive. Confidence is one of the most important qualities a man must have to be attractive to women. An open body language shows approachability. So never cross your arms when flirting, men.

Two other hacks are smiling and eye contact. A smile triggers positive emotions and if you manage to keep eye contact, it shows confidence. A mixture that makes her melt.

3. Make her laugh

Being funny is sexy. There are many reasons for that, for example, that being humorous is a great marker of intelligence.

To be honest, this probably only works in combination with physical attractiveness. If she thinks you are hot, a 5/10 joke might be enough to make her laugh, while the average guy probably would really have to nail the joke.

But you should not overdo it and don’t force it. Never present yourself as a clown.

4. Fitness

Of course, that also plays a role.

But don’t worry guys, you don’t have to go to the gym every day to be attractive.

Numerous studies, including one from UCLA, speak a clear language. An athletic body is the most attractive. But you don’t have to be extremely lean or particularly muscular. I have described this in more detail in this article:

5. Resources

Money seems to matter.

At least a bit.

If we look at it from an evolutionary perspective, this makes perfect sense.

If a woman would get pregnant from you, could you provide for the family?

This is what women have to ensure in order to increase the chances of healthy offspring.

A study published in Evolution and Human Behaviour found out that women are way more sensitive to a partner’s income than it is the other way around. The study used photos of men and women and added the income of the person that was rated.

The result is very interesting: while a 10x in income was enough for a man to move up two points on the scale of attractiveness, women needed a 10,000x to achieve the same increase in attractiveness.

6. Dress to impress

Dressing well is a form of good manners- Tom Ford

Being well dressed shows social status. If you look like you make a lot of money, you have better chances with women.

According to Psychology Today, our style can even have an effect on how successful we become.

Why is that?

You will be perceived much better by others if you are well dressed. Because of your good looks, other good qualities are assumed. This unconscious thinking error is called the halo effect.

Also, depending on how you are dressed, you perceive yourself differently. Good clothing leads to improved self-confidence.

Men, in general, seem to be in a real dating crisis. I described the shocking data in more detail in the article below. This is why I think many men need to read this and level up their game.
