Be honest, straight men: You all want to know what women want. Luckily, a bunch of scientists have wondered the same thing. These types of studies are often small, and frequently rely on self-reported feelings in a lab, which may be different from how women truly react in real life. And the participants are often Western college students, who are not an especially a diverse group. So take the results with a grain of salt. Top qualities of attractive people But hey, whatever helps, right? Here are 11 science-supported traits that women find irresistible. Good looks can be a factor, but they're not as important as you may think. In studies, women typically choose better-looking guys for flings, not long-term relationships. A sense of humor is important to women. Scientists have found it makes men seem more intelligent. For long relationships, women tend to prefer altruistic men who are kind and do good deeds. In studies, women choose men posing in front of expensive cars or apartments, versus ordinary ones, possibly because they make the men appear rich. Women may like older men because they've had time to accumulate more resources. Facial hair has been an attraction and a repellent in studies, so that feature is likely based on preference. Do what you want with your face; you'll attract the right mate. Older research concluded that people liked when other people liked them, but recent studies have found that "playing hard to get" could be an effective tactic. When men are unavailable, that might make women want them more. Small studies have indicated that men with dogs do better with the ladies. In one speed-dating experiment, women were more attracted to men who were mindful — present, attentive, and nonjudgmental. Women around the world perceived men as more attractive when they wore red, according to one study. Women have rated men higher who take heroic and sometimes primal risks. These include saving people's lives, hunting for food, and playing with fire. Source
It hurts when what you think is the "sense of humour" turns into something that makes a woman hot under the collar.
Amazing! So, women choose to date ruffians but when it comes to marriage, they choose a kind man, right?
Oh! So, women are also moved by what they see? That's interesting! I thought their interest is in what they hear... laughing out loud!
I would be driven up the wall if I were in a relationship with a babe and at the end of the day discovering she's only interested in the fact that I've had time to accumulate resources...
Oh, come on! You know what? You're indirectly asking me to get a dog. Maybe, I will start cutting the mustard in terms of romantic relationships. Laughing out loud!
There's a classmate I've been hitting on for donkeys years. I'll deliberately wear red one of these days as I approach the girl... come on, in red I'm more attractive, right?
