What Do Girls Find Attractive? Seven Ways To Get Her To Notice You

For a lot of men, it can be mystifying to figure out the answer to the question: What do women find attractive? So, what do women find attractive?  Different women have different preferences, but there are many elements that many women might agree can be attractive in men. In this article, we’ll explore seven of the most common things that girls find attractive.

What do girls find attractive? Seven ways to get her to notice you

While attractiveness is highly subjective, there are still several characteristics that many women look for in a potential partner. The following are seven qualities that women often find attractive.

1. A sense of humor

Some men might be surprised to know that girls find a good sense of humor attractive and that making a woman laugh can be one of the most important aspects of attraction. A study from the University of Kansas has shown that humor is a crucial step in the attraction process and makes a woman more likely to fall in love with a man.

Women may view a man who makes them laugh as more intelligent. Also, women may perceive their potential partner’s ability (or inability) to make them laugh to indicate how happy the relationship can be in the long term.

What defines a good sense of humor can vary somewhat from woman to woman. 

2) Style and personal care

What women find attractive is often great hygiene and appearance. A man’s style and degree of personal care can play a huge role in the dating and flirtation process. Some women may prefer an artsy style more than a sporty style, but the important thing can be that the man has a style more than which style he chooses to wear. Women often find it attractive when men take some time to make themselves look nice.

Regular bathing, hair trims, and trimmed nails (among other things) can help men appear more attractive to women. In general, taking time to attend to your body’s appearance and overall wellness can pay dividends. Exercising, maintaining proper hygiene, and taking time for self-care can all help men be healthier and more confident.

3) Listening and conversation skills

If you’re a good listener, a woman may be more likely to fall in love. To capture the heart of a woman, it can help to seduce her mind. Listening intently and engaging in meaningful conversation can show her that you value what she has to say and can hold your own in conversation.

Good listeners ask questions, provide verbal or physical encouragement to the speaker to continue speaking, contribute thoughts, and maintain frequent eye contact. Caring about the conversation and remembering details later on can be another indicator of a good listener. Listening is an active process from beginning to end.

When a woman determines her level of attraction to date, this can be one of the biggest factors she considers. If the woman feels like the man was listening and that he was honestly interested in her, she may be much more likely to feel attracted to him than if he hadn’t shown good listening skills.

4) Kindness

Kindness often encompasses a variety of actions, behaviors, and traits. Still, there can be a few things that many women often look for in a man that can be indicators of his level of kindness. Women might watch carefully how a man treats other people around him and how he talks about the people he loves or is close to. For example, a woman might consider how a man talks about and to his family as highly important.

Plus, she might watch how the man treats servers and other people in service/retail industries. Does he stand up on the bus to let a pregnant woman or older man sit down? Is he friendly to the servers at a restaurant? These are some specific examples of kindness that a woman may look for when she’s on a date.

5) Passion and initiative

Many women can appreciate men who have interests and projects he’s passionate about. And, when he’s taken the initiative to pursue those passions, that can dramatically increase his attractiveness. A simple example of this is when a man is passionate about a woman and makes an effort to make her feel special.

If a man has a passion for his profession or a serious hobby, such as playing a musical instrument or learning a foreign language, a woman will likely notice this, and her interest may be piqued. 

6) Confidence

Don’t interpret this word the wrong way—confidence and cockiness may be two very different things, the former being a potential turn-on and the latter a potential turn-off. Many women adore men who are confident and self-assured yet humble and grateful for the people around them. But a man who is cocky and shows no appreciation for the people or circumstances that helped him along the way to where he is now might not attract the attention of very many women.

Confidence can be such a major part of what makes a guy attractive because it can show that he is fully capable of handling difficult situations with strength and resilience. If you're nervous about dating attractive girls, try to boost your confidence. Confidence can show a woman that a man is comfortable in his skin and able to take care of his own needs and potentially the needs of a family later on.

7) Making a living

Women typically like a man who works hard and has a job. The job doesn’t necessarily have to be fancy or high paying, but it should be something where the man can earn a living and support himself decently.

Also, if a man has found a job that he’s passionate about or something that he enjoys, this can add to his attractiveness. Even if the job that he has isn’t glamourous, if he finds enjoyment in the job or being around the people he works with, this can signify his ability to adapt to circumstances and enjoy the small things in life. Having a job or a way to make a living can also be a sign that he can commit and stay with something over the long term, which can be a good sign for women looking for a long-term relationship.
