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.
But hey, whatever helps, right?
Here are 11 science-supported traits that women find irresistible.
1. 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.
2. A sense of humor is important to women. Scientists have found it makes men seem more intelligent.
3. For long relationships, women tend to prefer altruistic men who are kind and do good deeds.
4. In studies, women choose men posing in front of expensive cars or apartments, versus ordinary ones, possibly because they make the men appear rich.
5. Women may like older men because they've had time to accumulate more resources.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Small studies have indicated that men with dogs do better with the ladies.
9. In one speed-dating experiment, women were more attracted to men who were mindful — present, attentive, and nonjudgmental.

11. 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.
1. Looks.
2. Money.
3. That he believes their lies.
4. All the rest are lies.

Above 6 foot and you are half way there with most women. Add a thick wallet and you are home free.
>>>10. Women around the world perceived men as more attractive when they wore red, according to one study<<<
Okay guys, grab your MAGA Hat and get to it.
Biggest turn-off: Being a liberal
Money. All else is fungible ...
Humility
Hard working
Generally courteous
Not addicted to drugs or alcohol
If nonjudgmental is really a successful reproductive strategy, society is DOOMED.
Eleven qualities in men that women find attractive.
Liberals are smelly and deranged.
Real Women don’t like them.
Unless, of course, they look like Leon di Caprio.
Me and you think similarly, but you’re slightly faster, and beat me by a post ^^
Shocked it took nine posts for that to show up.
yup!
LOL
Well that explains a lot. Fine bring on the flings, but I'm going to keep trying to make them last.
2. A sense of humor is important to women. Scientists have found it makes men seem more intelligent.
See #1. And it should be obvious that I'm intelligent and have good humor.
3. For long relationships, women tend to prefer altruistic men who are kind and do good deeds.
I bailed out my dad's caregiver and picked her up from jail twice. Does that count? We're not talking golddiggers are we?
4. In studies, women choose men posing in front of expensive cars or apartments, versus ordinary ones, possibly because they make the men appear rich.
So we are talking golddiggers. Rats.
5. Women may like older men because they've had time to accumulate more resources.
Nailed it! So to speak.
6. 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.
So if I vary between beard in winter and shaved in summer I'm repelling half the women every year and the other half 6 months later?
7. 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.
But how do they sense that I met someone I like through the internet when I haven't posted it. It's feast or famine.
8. Small studies have indicated that men with dogs do better with the ladies.
Sorry, I'm not getting a pooch just to leave it at home when I'm out with a woman. That's cruel, not doint it.
9. In one speed-dating experiment, women were more attracted to men who were mindful — present, attentive, and nonjudgmental.
Well I'm trying not to judge all that metal stuck in your face and that "$" tattoo on your chest. But dang...
I have a friend who has always been able to date the hottest women in the world and I mean that literally.
I have no idea exactly what gives him that talent but he is fairly handsome with curly blond hair. He is extremely intelligent, in fact president of a large Mensa area.
He does have a good sense of humor and is fairly wealthy.
He married a model when he was 65. Before that he dated a series of beauties. I am a little bit surprised that they are still married.
I could really tell the stories of his ability to approach a girl and end up with a date. He did it time after time when I was with him.
