What factors attract a woman to a man?

Question

What is it that sparks romantic or physical attraction in a woman towards a man? I am asking this question to better understand the female mind. Detail preferred.

I am particularly interested in personality factors. Particularly, what factors could a guy who isn't the stereotypical cocky jerk type use to attract women? How can a man be "nice" in a way that doesn't turn women off or funny without being "weird"?

Answer 1

I personally believe that we all as human beings each have our own unique vibration... A vibe so to speak... Something inherent in all of us just knows and understands who we are to be with for whatever reason and in whatever ways our lives reflect our ever changing vibratory patterns at that time in our lives.

I have been with some people that made perfect sence for that time in my life... Now, I couldn't imagine myself in that place or with that person.

We change, and we find people that vibrate on similar levels and have similar goals and responces to life for a reason.

When I look at a potential mate (which I have not done in some time.) I look in their eyes, I look for honesty, humor, common sense, spirituality, intelligence, self awareness and all the things that I know will compliment my own life structure.

Years ago... My answer would have been... a Bad boy, a trouble maker, someone who is dreamy and lovely to look at but troubled and needy dark and brooding, poetic and artistic...

I think our lives change in intervalls and we find people that either suit the times and circumstances we are going through at that moment or we find someone with an energy and a vibration that matches our long term needs and goals, someone who can change with us until we adjust and become confortable with in our own skin.

Looks and money do it for some people because that is usually the totality of their personality, the end of their depth and needs.

Religion and family do it for others...

I think we see things deeper than initial observation. I think that even when we don't know it per sey, that we still, as human beings have a deeper sense of understanding our own needs and compatibilities when looking at considering or sizing up a potential mate.

I believe in pheremones and underlying signs and signals, impulses and as I said "Vibrations." all of these things combined are what make a good mate.

Answer 2

I hope I can help. I look for integrity and strength of character first and foremost. Coming from a bad marriage in which there was a lot of cheating and lying and financial mismanagement, I can only tell you that that is a priority for me.

Once a guy has that, I am attracted to a deep voice and masculine build in general. I like broad shoulders, strong chest and arms and a mustache. I am physically attracted to a man who smells sexy on a basic level - not via cologne, but just his normal male smell.

I appreciate good manners and authority. I am really turned off by wishy-washy men who don't want a long-term relationship and want to hold back. Commitment is sexy and makes me feel secure too. I like a man who is not afraid to tell me that he loves me and who takes responsibility for his life and actions - a man who places me first before himself. This is the man that I would die for - and he's the one that I have!

Answer 3

Well, to me it is essential to feel secure with him. He must seem trustworthy and smart, and we should have common interests and conversation subjects. I don't know.

A talkative person will always make a good impression on me. And it's a good thing when it comes to shy women like me. :D I like people who have a good sense of humour and who know how to make me laugh, but don't go overboard.

Talking a lot may give the impression that the man isn't only interested in sex, that he actually likes talking to the woman, and it should be true, if the man really pays attention to the conversations and enjoys them. :)

Answer 4

Smile. there is always a way to tell by the smile.a true smile is a true man.
Eyes...the direct look into mine , he is honest.
eyes that don't look me straight in my eyes are not to be trusted
The personality. a fake man has no real personality .
Humor. if no sense of humor ,. it means I can't kid with him. joke with him.
The all around features such as hair. body/skin , if dirty he does not take care of his hygiene.

Answer 5

A well groomed man,nice smile and teeth,a confident man that knows what he wants and how to get it,a man with a bright and positive aura around him,a man with heart,strength,courage and a touch of sensitivity.

Answer 6

Well for me it's Personality,ive found that alot of women like guys who can make them laugh. Also it's sad but alot of women are into guys with the looks.

Answer 7

never thought of this b4. . . probably its just natural to be attracted to the opposite sex. . . .but his personality maybe.. wether he makes you laugh or not. . . . how he makes you feel so special. . . . . . cares about your emotions rather then making fun of'em

Answer 8
