Yes, women like Mr. Big Strong protector types, that’s just biology though. We are naturally drawn to men who can protect us and our children through pregnancy and beyond. But, that is just how you get our attention during the first meeting. There are so many little things men do, and can do that make you so much more attractive to the opposite sex, (as well as the same and in between). Know, of course everyone has their own preferences but here’s some basics, (and some of my favorite things) men can do, wear, and say that make a man so much more attractive than any random person she’ll see on the street.
- Number 1: Grooming regularly. I am personally, and always will be a HUGE fan of facial hair, but you have to maintain it. Shaving, trimming, brushing out, and making sure your facial hair is in condition tells her you take care of yourself, and therefore, would take care of her.
- Number 2: Fitting clothes. Baggy and ill fitting clothes are just not as attractive. You don’t need to be in a fitted suit every day but wearing shirts and pants that are huge on you makes her wonder what you’re hiding underneath. Be proud of whatever you have, she’ll notice and like you more for it/
- Number 3: Clean and trimmed nails. Hands and feet. Making sure your nails are clean shows her you’re not a slob. And keeping them trimmed and clean makes her want you to touch her not want to push you away.
- Number 4: Do the dishes. Trust me. That effort that means she can sit on the couch and watch her favorite TV show for 20 min longer means so much. Bonus points if you cook! It’s these little things that let her know you care about her, and want to be her partner not someone for her to take care of.
- Number 5: Make/ Grab her favorite morning drink. Little known fact, women need more sleep than men do (check out this article from the National Sleep Foundation). Getting up first and bringing her her morning beverage let’s her know you think of her first in the morning. Double points if your girl is not a morning person.
- Number 6: Get Sappy Sometimes. You have to tell her how you feel, she can’t read your mind. Getting emotional and telling her that you think about her all day everyday will show her how you truly feel. If you see a future with her, tell her, get her favorite takeout, grab flowers on the way home. these little things can go a long way. And she’ll know you love her.
- Number 7: If you have kids of your own or kids in your family, play with them. Women love men who are good with children, so put in the effort, get on the floor, make up a game, color, whatever it takes, you have to show her you’d be a good father and a good life partner.
This is not a one size fits all love potion, but it will help. In short; take care of yourself, take care of her, tell her you care, and let yourself be a bit childish with kids.
