A good man is brave, right? And strong? And chivalrous? He can replace a ball valve with a gate valve in a plumbing line, right? (That’s not a metaphor, by the way.)

Turns out, if you ask women, none of that ranks very high.

Recent online surveys of more than 1,000 women between the ages of 21 and 54 (one was conducted by Princeton, New Jersey’s opinion Research Corporation; the other was done on BestLifeOnline.com) found that women value personality far more than physical attractiveness. What women want in a man is faithfulness and dependability, a sense of humor, the ability to listen, and a sense of style. Only 13 percent of women cited muscular build as a factor in physical attractiveness. On the other hand, 66 percent of women said moral integrity will “make me quiver."

It can all seem a little daunting. To be a good man, I need to be funny and dependable and I have to listen?

Well, yeah, actually. But, fortunately, none of those requires being a manly man. It just requires being… well, cool. In the attitudinal sense. It requires self-possession. Turns out that women think being in control of your energies and appropriately channeling them is the path to greatness. Calmness may be the right move in one situation. Totally freaking out may be the right move in another. But you can be self-possessed while exhibiting either of those qualities. You can be self-possessed no matter your personality type, too. Ryan Gosling is self-possessed. So is Steve Martin. So is Steve Carell. So is BoJack Horseman (mostly). The Rock is self-possessed. So is Timothée Chalamet. It just takes a lot of self-awareness and the right balance of action and restraint. You can be as self-possessed at your son’s baseball game as you can be at a meeting as you can be in the grocery-store checkout line or on a date.

How do you play a guy who is trying to play you?

Flirt a little bit. Play it cool. Don't flatter him. Just let him know that you like talking to him. Keep things light and fun. That'll make him want to talk to you more. Tease him a little bit. Don't let him take himself too seriously or think he's all that.

Article Summary

If you want to play a player, you first need to make him want you by being hard to get. At first, completely ignore the player whenever he is in the same room as you, acting like you’re uninterested in him. After a while, slowly acknowledge him, but let him see you having fun with other guys so he’ll get jealous. Once you notice that he’s desperately trying to get your attention, indulge him to keep him hooked. The best way to do this is to call or text him once in a while but being slow to respond whenever he reaches out first. Whenever he’s at the peak of his affection for you, tell him you’re not interested and cut off all communication permanently. For more tips, like how to act immune to his charms, read on!
