Girls, this one is for you! Here is a list of 10 things most guys find attractive in a girl. At the end of the day, every girl on this earth is beautiful in her own unique way! Your smile.
Men adore it when a girl smiles because of something he said or laughs at his jokes. Generally, women who smile all the time are more attractive to men. Your waist. Guys love to hold girls by their waist so this area holds a special place to them. Baby face? Yep, men love those chubby cheeks and round eyes! The same correlation didn't appear when comparing their father's hair and eye color, and while researchers aren't entirely sure what's going on here, they did suggest that it's possible that the early connection between mother and son formed a sort of subconscious bond that suggests safety, familiarity, and comfort linked to the eye and hair color they knew first.
Another study, this one done by the University of Tokyo , found that men showed significant preference for women who shared something else with their mother: height. When they looked at volunteers who reported their own heights, along with their parents' and their partners' heights, they found that men were much more likely to be attracted to a woman of similar height to their mother.
A sense of humor is high on the list of traits that everyone says they look for in potential partners, but according to a study published in Evolution and Human Behavior , the sort of humor men and women find attractive is surprisingly different. When both men and women were asked about the traits they looked for in a partner, both groups reported a sense of humor was equally important. But when the study looked a little further, they found that while women valued both the ability to be funny and to appreciate the same sort of things they found funny, men were a little more one-sided with what they found attractive.
The men surveyed didn't rate funny women as any more desirable, and instead, it was receptiveness to their own sense of humor that they valued. In other words, men want someone who's going to laugh at their jokes. For men, it wasn't as necessary that women be able to make them laugh. They were looking for someone who appreciated their capacity for what the study called their production of humor.
When men's responses were broken down by the type of relationship they were talking about, the results were even more drastic. When it came to dating and long-term relationships, it was even more important for men to find someone who appreciated their sense of humor, while funny females were better for friendship and short-term relationships. According to a pair of Australian researchers , one thing that men find surprisingly attractive is a simple one that anyone can do — just tilt your head the right way.
They took a series of faces that were manipulated to appear as they were being viewed from different angles, and volunteers were then asked to rate the attractiveness of those faces, along with how feminine or masculine they were. They found that men were most attracted to faces when women tilted their heads forward enough that they were looking slightly up. The results were significant and suggested that nothing more than a simple adjustment to the way we carry ourselves could make someone measurably more attractive.
They suggested that it has something to do with height, and that when a man sees a woman who tilts her head forward and looks up at him, she's presenting herself in such a way that accents height differences and, in turn, traditional ideas about masculinity and femininity. This one goes both ways, and it turns out that both men and women find certain risk-taking behaviors incredibly attractive in potential mates.
Personality traits that include being open to certain risks were rated as highly attractive to women, but surprisingly, men were attracted to women who were a certain kind of adventurous. According to a study done by the University of Alaska Anchorage , men and women were attracted to those with personality traits that allowed them to take part in and enjoy what they called hunter-gatherer risks. That includes activities and dangers similar to what our ancient ancestors would have faced, like skiing, mountain climbing, whitewater rafting, and other outdoor activities.
While those are things we usually think of as being attractive when a man does them, the study found that men are also attracted to the same behaviors in women. Being attracted to risk-taking behaviors only went so far, through, and it was only ancient risks that were found attractive.
Taking modern risks were definitely seen as less attractive, and that meant everything from driving without a seat belt to dabbling in drugs. While you might think that a husky voice would be a sexy one, studies have shown that what men are really attracted to is a higher-pitched voice. According to one study done by University College London , high-pitched voices were found to be almost universally more attractive to men, mostly because of the features, figure, and youth they imagined to go along with that voice.
Volunteers were asked to listen to a series of voices and then rate them based on their appeal, and researchers found that there was sort of a sweet spot in pitch. Men rated high-pitched voices more attractive, but only to a certain point.
When the voice got too high-pitched, the attractiveness declined. By the end of the study, they concluded that in order to be most attractive, a voice should be moderately high-pitched and slightly breathy, all which reportedly signaled that the speaker had a small frame.
Weirdly, they were also able to draw comparisons between their results and results that had been already found in the animal kingdom. There, males and females often have different pitch and tone to their voice, as they're used for different reasons. That further led the team to the conclusion that men prefer moderately high-pitched voices not only because of the physical qualities they imply, but also because they impart the idea of submissiveness and make confrontation seem unlikely.
If your voice doesn't fall into the realm of "moderately high-pitched," there's no need to fear. According to a study from the Journal of Evolutionary Psychology , women who are talking to a man they're attracted to tend to speak in a higher pitch without even realizing they're doing it. The science behind this one is pretty fascinating, and while ovulation might not be a specific trait, it is linked to some traits that men find attractive. According to a study in the journal Hormones and Behavior , men were more likely to rate women as being the most attractive when they were at the most fertile point in their menstrual cycle.
There have been a huge number of studies done on this, and there have been some fascinating discoveries. As women approach peak fertility , voices get higher in pitch, body odor changes and becomes more desirable, and it's even suspected there might be some sort of incredibly discreet change in skin or lip color — all things men have traditionally found more attractive.
In , a University of New Mexico study found that fertility even seemed to impact the tips made by professional lap dancers, and another study done by researchers from the University of Gottingen in Germany got similar results. Men were asked to watch silhouettes of women dancing and to pick out the more attractive women based only on their movements. Overwhelmingly, they choose the women who were at their most fertile, and they did the same thing when they were asked to choose the most attractive silhouettes of women simply walking.
Researchers suspect that hormonal changes that happen in the body at times of peak fertility change some things to appeal even more to men, allowing them to pick up on fertility unconsciously. When it comes to overall body shapes, we always hear that it's the hourglass figure that's most attractive.
That might not be entirely true, though, and according to research done by professors at the University of Texas , it's only the last part of the traditional trio of measurements that really matters. Professor Devendra Singh took a look at the differences in how male and female bodies store fat, coupled with indicators of health and fertility.
She found that when women have a waist to hip ratio WHR of between. She conducted a series of experiments that not only surveyed men as to what shape they found most attractive, but also looked back through the last few decades at everything from Miss America contestants to Playboy models.
The overwhelming majority of the men she surveyed agreed that the most attractive shape had to do with that magic WHR number, no matter what their age group was. Other studies show that no matter what the actual size of a woman is, it's the ratio that's more important than the weight or build. It was the ratio that men found most attractive. When it comes to figuring out which traits are going to be most attractive to potential partners, it's easy to focus on the physical.

Men are more attracted to women who are ovulating, according to an entertaining study in which guys smelled ladies' T-shirts. While this probably won't come as a surprise to you, ladies, men like women who laugh at their jokes. Anything to stroke their egos, right? Multiple studies have found that men prefer honest women, particularly for long-term relationships. Researchers have found that men gravitate toward women wearing red.
What matters is that you're smiling and showing your teeth and that you're smiling with your eyes. That's where a genuine smile shows, and that's where you're going to get even more positive interaction, and you'll get a guy even more interested in you before he even talks to you. Society tells us that men want to be the stronger one in the relationship, but that isn't always the case.
And not only that, but they don't want you to be a total pushover. Rather, they want you to be strong in your ways and to be determined and sure of the things that you believe in.
These traits will make you an even more attractive person because they show that you're not just looking to be who a man wants you to be. You're going to be yourself first, and that's the best way that you can be. It's going to serve you well. Being open and talking to your partner is always important. Whether you have positive or negative things to say, you want to make sure that you're frequently talking to them. You're never going to enhance a relationship or continue to build it if you're constantly tuning out or trying to keep your thoughts and feelings hidden.
Talking about things will make it a lot better, and this will make sure your potential partner knows that they can come to you and talk to you. Communicating lets both sides know that you're working on this relationship together.
It would be best if you had a life of your own that exists outside of your partner. It would help if you had friends or family that you spend time with. You should have interests that you engage in separately. Each of these things will show your partner that your life and happiness are not dependent on them. You want to show them that you are your own person and that you can accomplish things without having to be attached to the hip constantly.
This independence level helps them feel more comfortable entering into a relationship with you and continuing it over the long term. Being confident means that you are sure of yourself and your thoughts and feelings. Similar to determination, confidence shows that you trust your own opinions and that you trust others as well.
When you are confident, you will exhibit even more strength, and you're going to keep any potential date more interested in you. This is another area where they're going to see that, while you may want to be with them, you don't require them to be happy.
You can create a happy and healthy life for yourself otherwise. Charisma is that little bit of something special that tends to attract people to you.
It's some form of magnetism that makes them want to be around you and wants to spend time with you. It draws them in even from afar, and it's generally something that you don't even realize that you have.
That means it's difficult for you to fake or for you to try and show off because it's just there in the background. However, that kind of charisma is going to make it easier for a man to become interested in you and want to get to know you more. Being smart is always going to be a good thing, as well.
That doesn't mean you need a high IQ.
