What looks do guys find attractive?

Men prefer a woman who can stay calm and relaxed. Beauty is more than make-up and a fancy haircut. Men find women more attractive when they are neat and clean. Men find women who smell nice, who have clean hair and hydrated skin more attractive than a face perfectly covered in makeup.

I think it’s obvious what men do not find attractive, but what makes them crazy? All men want to find a woman who has these 17 irresistible qualities:

1. Calmness

For the most part, drama queens are usually women. And dating a drama queen means lots of gossip, impulsive decisions, emotional conversations and drama in her life and yours.

Men prefer a woman who can stay calm and relaxed.

2. Cleanliness

Beauty is more than make-up and a fancy haircut. Men find women more attractive when they are neat and clean. Men find women who smell nice, who have clean hair and hydrated skin more attractive than a face perfectly covered in makeup.

3. Intelligence

My cousin once went out with an extremely attractive girl. They only went out once, and then he completely lost interest. I asked him what had happened, and he told me he could not date someone who didn’t even know the name of the country’s current vice president. It might sound extreme, but it’s not. An intelligent woman shows ambition, awareness and personally knows the value of education.

4. Caring

Instinctively, men and women are attracted to people who could potentially look out for them if something were to happen in the future. Most women are born with that instinct already but few show it.

5. Creativity

In this case, creativity isn't a woman's ability to make crafts and recreate Pinterest projects. Rather, her ability to approach life in a new and exciting way is the type of creativity men are looking for. A man wants a wife who can help him figure out unique solutions to life's problems.

6. Discipline

Parenting is already a difficult job, but it's made even harder with a lack of discipline. Men are looking for a woman who will uphold the household's rules and help reinforce their children's good behaviors.

7. Loyalty

No human being on Earth wants to be betrayed. When a man meets a woman, he looks at the way she acts and respects the people she loves. If she speaks poorly about her friends or tells them she is sick so she can spend time with her boyfriend instead of going out with them, he may not believe she is a good match for him.

8. Friendliness

If you ask a man why he loves his wife, he might say how she makes friends with everyone or how she treats everyone with respect and kindness. Nothing is more seductive than humility and the ability to treat everyone with the same level of respect.

9. Genuine

In today’s world, it's easy to put up our picture perfect life on social media, but a real man is looking for a woman who is genuine. It's a difficult quality to find, but is extremely attractive once discovered.

10. Maturity

Maturity has nothing to do with the age of a person. Mental and emotional maturity is a quality all men are looking for because no one has time to date a childish woman.

11. Optimism

Nothing is more sexy than a person with the ability to see the glass half full, instead of half empty.

12. Punctuality

Nobody likes to wait around. Most men understand that most women take more time to get ready, but a woman who is punctual shows she respects everyone else's time.

13. The ability to let go

It's good to fight for what you want in life, but wisdom lies in our ability to know when it's time to let go of what we can not have.

14. Romantic

It makes sense that both men and woman are looking for a partner who is at least a little romantic. It's nice to feel like that spark will always be there because your partner is someone who likes to bring flowers home and plans romantic getaways.

15. Respectful

Respect for him and for others is a characteristic that all men find attractive.

16. Compassionate

It's easy to fall into the habit of always wanting or demanding more. When concentrating on our own needs, we forget to understand others. A compassionate woman is something all men are looking for.

17. Loving

No one wants to be in a relationship where they don't feel love. Mariel Reimann is the Content Director at KSL Latino. She's studied law at the National University of Cordoba, currently resides in Salt Lake City, Utah. Email: mreimann@ksl.com.
