Not all forces of opposite sex attraction are open and well spelled-out — there are just a good number of very simple, very surprising things women have been known to find irresistibly attractive in men.
Perhaps, this might just be what drives the saying: “Nobody truly knows what a woman wants”.
Here are 7 surprising things women find attractive in men you obviously do not know about:
1. Calmness
Women like cool guys who always do things coolly. Whether in the way they walk, or talk, or smile, great fascination lies in the calm and composure a man exudes. No woman likes a messy, over-reactive man.
2. Confidence
Measured confidence is an attractive trait in men. Women don’t really want to be with the guy who stands slouched all the time and is always waffling around. Women want to be with men who are in control of their emotions and do not feel easily intimidated.
3. An athletic body
Before you hit the gym and start loading up on those protein supplements, read ahead.
Researchers have found that out of all the body shapes, women in general seem to prefer a “V-shaped” athletic body on a man; that is to say a strong and well-defined musculature on the upper body and a narrow and slim waist.
So be slow to think that looking like the Hulk will instantly make you sexier than the rest of us.
4. Good dress sense
Being stylish does not equal looking flamboyant. Masculine colors like black, navy blue, charcoal grey and dark brown are all calm and simple. Women seem to prefer men with a calm sense of fashion than “loud” dressers.
5. Good smell
Women love men who smell nice and masculine.
Lianna R. put it nicely: “Smell is very important, but it doesn’t have to be cologne. As long as you wear deodorant and show you make an effort to stay fresh, that’s what counts.”
6. Intelligence
Women respect and admire well-read men a lot. Being intelligent comes with an admirable confidence and women like that their men can hold their attention with what they know.
7. Resourcefulness
Women are easily attracted to men with a good craft — men full of initiatives and good at problem-solving, especially in difficult situations. One of the easiest way to woo a woman is to display a charming talent or skill.
