Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (23 July 2006): Physique. Doesn't mean totally buff; doesn't mean overweight. It varies from woman to woman.
Smile. I'm a sucker for a killer smile. I say my boyfriend but you don't know what he looks like so how about Harrison Ford, Hugh Jackman, Michael Rosenbaum,...
Eyes. The smile and if it touches his eyes; can it still be seen when he is working or busy..thinking?
Sense of humour. Definite must. A man that can make a woman laugh is such a wonderful gift.
Confidence!! No matter what a man is wearing...confidence...it comes across big time.
Heart. Knowing who he is, why he does what he does, what motivates him, how kind is he, how considerate, how loving and affectionate, how honorable and brave-stands his ground.
Honesty. This goes with the eyes and the smile. Being able to be humble. Willing to apologize. Knowing you can rely on him. That he is able to trust and respect you shows in how honest he is willing to be with you.

I always go for looks first..if i double take then i will check out the rest. Never tuck your shirt in and always wear trendy shoes. Mobile phones must never be seen. Smelling nice is important and i like a man to look a little rough on the edges but still well kept.

He doesn't have to be rich but he must treat me with respect. I can't abide it when you go out on a date and he's constantly checking his cell phone. Being a gentleman opening doors etc, ooh I love touchy feely men, ones who like holding hands or cuddling. Strong but sensitive :)

 rich isn't really a big deal to me, as long as we are happy together that's all that really matters. All we have to be is financially comfortable, even though rich would be nice it's not really a big deal.
Ambitious on the other hand, i like that, forgot to put that one down :P I like it when a guy knows where he is going in life, i like feeling that sense of security and direction.

I hate to say it, but looks do matter to me to an extent A guy with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes can catch my heart like that *snaps*
Confidence, not cockiness... (slim lime between the two)
Not a total slob
A great smile and a semi athletic build
Clean shaven or stuble, don't matter to me
Has to have a few good pairs of Wranglers and look good in em ;)
Someone who i can be myself around and not have to worry about saying the "wrong" thing
Knows how to have a good time, is easy going and can make me laugh
Maturity is a must with me
Caring, Respectful.... all that good stuff
One word to sum it all up: Tyler!! (my boyfriend) lol

 As has been said before but in the what guys like about women thing - this is something that is unique to each and every person. I have to say that I don't believe that reading a book can help you much on this one as I think that it would take a whole rainforest of encyclopeadias to write down everything!
For me I like confidence, or at least the appearance of confidence. I like my man to be good at something and to show real enthusiasm for it....such as music. I like a clean man, smeling of shampoo and soap and I don't care about stubble or not. Kindness is a good thing too, so is the ability to have a good bitchfest when the mood strikes! Nice eyes and a *knowing* smile works for me. Sometimes glasses.....
You see I could go on for hours! But the when you consider physically I like such diverse men as Robert Downey Jnr, Robbie Coltrane, Eddie Izzard, Damien Lewis.....all different. And that is what women are generally like....it takes allsorts!

and different girls will like different colours , lengths etc.
i like shaggy haired guys. but if you ask annother girl should might say she likes really short haired guys. so i wouldnt worry to much about that stuff.
but for personality etc. some good traits would probably be
confident . but not over confident
respectful, kind, nice
can make them laugh
easy going ( not all up tight )
caring, good aditude
maturity. things like that
take care xxx

That is a heavy generalisation Dr Pete. You'll give the guy hang ups if he thinks he has to be rich and ambitious to attract women.

reader, anonymous, writes (20 July 2006): I've just been reading Nature Via Nurture by Matt Ridley, there's a good amount about attraction early on in the book (A phethora of instinctsl martians and venusians).
He makes some interesting references to numerous studies and said that:
Both sexes wanted intelligence, dependable, cooperative, trustworthy and loyal partners but there were also differences.
Women rated good financial prospects twice as highly as men. Women wanted men older than them, social status, ambition and industriousness mattered more to women.
Men by contrast placed more emphasis on youth (in all cultures) and physical appearance (men wanted beautiful women more than women wanted beautiful men). Men also placed slightly more emphasis on chastity and fidelity in their partners (whilst being much more likely to seek extramarital sex themselves)
So... Men like pretty, young, faithful women while women like rich, ambitious, older men.
Worth a read if your interested in the subject, it goes in to far more detail and of course he supports his claims quite heavily.

Personally for me (and think is relevant to most girls!!)....Great smile, confidence, ability to talk to me and ask questions. Taking an interest and referring at a later date about some info already discussed (shows he has remembered what we were talking about and is interested in me) Someone who can make me feel comfortable and relaxed, who can make decisions and look after me. This all goes hand in hand with physical attraction. But sometimes it can be just one aspect of a mans looks that a woman likes, as I've mentioned, like a great smile, nice eyes, tidy hair, someone who looks after himself and doesn't look sloppy and is not a slob! Hope this little list helps. If you are interested in someone, just remember to be yourself, don't pretend to be something or someone you are not (girls can pick this up in an instant and is most unattractive) and SMILE at her, oh and a little mystery about yourself does go a long way, don't tell her everything, hold stuff back about yourself!!
