Make Her Want You: 10 Tips for Men to Attract Women

What do women actually want? It seems like guys have been trying to figure this one out for ages.

It's true that different women look for different things in a guy. But a woman is generally impressed by a man who is confident, kind, and fun to be around. The good news is many of these traits can be developed. Here are 10 things men can do to be more attractive to women.

1. Be confident (but not conceited)

Women are attracted by men who are confident in themselves. They want a man who's positive and who can get things done, not someone's who's timid or weak.

Most men have a lot of great qualities, but how will she ever know if you don't show them? So be confident!

A warning though: don't overdo it. There's a difference between confidence and conceit. Confidence means you have self-assurance in your abilities. Conceit means you're all swagger. Be self-confident, but make sure you can deliver the goods.

2. Be considerate

There are lots of men in the world, but few gentlemen. Show a woman that you're one of the few, and she'll definitely appreciate it.

So take care to listen to her. Do something to make her smile if she's had a long day. Hold the door. Yadda yadda.

It's true many women are attracted by "bad boys," but for a long-lasting, meaningful relationship, it's a gentleman they want.

3. Be clean

Good hygiene cannot be overemphasized. Nothing's more of a turn-off than being smelly and scraggly. So take your showers, use deodorant and body wash, brush your teeth, and keep your hair in control.

You might even invest in some cologne (not overpowering). Smelling sexy will go a long way to winning her.

4. Watch what you wear

Women like their men to be well-groomed and to look nice. So don't just wear the same grubby T-shirt every day.

Using clothes to judge a man may seem shallow, but women definitely do it. For one thing, it seems to be one of the differences between a boy and a man: boys don't know what to wear and need someone to do their laundry and shopping; men have their own taste and know how to dress themselves.

5. Be funny

A sense of humor is a very important trait in a man for many women. Women like men who are fun to be around. While you can't always just develop a knack for comedy, you can at least arm yourself with a stash of jokes.

When the conversation lulls, a woman is charmed by the man who can throw out a couple jokes with ease and make her laugh.

6. Be a little mysterious

Just as men are afraid of women who are overly needy or clingy, women don't like men who are that way either. Of course, women want you be around a lot, but you should have a life outside of that, too.

Women want someone interesting and surprising.

7. Be good at something stereotypically romantic, such as dancing or playing the guitar

This sounds like a silly one, but learning a stereotypically romantic skill will score you major points with the ladies. Few men know how to dance, and few women do too, so women appreciate a man who can confidently lead on the dance floor.

Also, every woman's secret dream is to be serenaded, so being able to play an instrument and sing could help you impress her, too.

8. Be natural

Women can spot a man faking a mile away, so don't try to become someone you're not. Be yourself-just the best yourself you can be.

And chances are, if you are friendly, kind, and genuine, she will like you just the way you are.

9. Be a friend

Romance and bed gymnastics are important to a woman, but more important is finding a true friend who she can share her life with, the good and the bad.

A relationship can't last on just the superficial. So make sure she can turn to you as a friend, not just a lover (although that's plenty important, too!).

10. Be passionate about life

And sorry, but video games don't count. Women are attracted to men with many interests, who are passionate about things, who love to learn and experience new things. So go out and seize your life! You might find a great woman out there in the process.

Those are 10 tips to make you more attractive to women. If you follow them, there's no reason why you can't win over a confident, beautiful woman.
