Nobody said that being a man is easy. For the most part, women hold all of the power in most of the situations that we run across everyday. For women, meeting guys isn’t hard. Men love a woman that is aggressive. We love women that throw caution to the wind and start a conversation with us. But it’s different for women. It doesn’t matter how attractive a woman is, she will always have guys chasing after her.

One of the best things that a guy can do is to be themselves. If you love geeky things like Battlestar Galactica or Star Wars, don’t be afraid to show it. Women are more susceptible to guys that have a passion for something. Having a passion shows that you’re alive. It shows that you can be excited about something and get them excited about something in the process. But passion is just one of the things that women find attractive. Here are some of the other things.

Confidence
Confusing confidence with arrogance is one of the worst things you can do. Nothing can scare a woman away faster than arrogance. Being sure of yourself is one thing, but being full of yourself is another. When a woman gives you a challenge, convey to her that you won’t have a problem with that obstacle. When you’re confident, you don’t come off as if you have something to prove.

Fashionable
You don’t have to be next consultant for Project Runway or anything, but definitely dress to impress. Always be clean-shaven, have your shirt tucked in and get a decent haircut. For most women, they’re obsessed with how they compare to the other women in the room. For guys, we don’t have to worry about that. Therefore, you don’t have to have name brands, just a decent outfit.

Mystery
Do not give away everything about yourself in the beginning of the date. Try to let all of your qualities and attributes flow from each date to the next. If she asks you a question you need to answer it, but don’t go into a half hour explanation. When you give a girl some mystery, she’ll keep coming back for more

Financial Stability
This is a real biggie. Paying your bills on time is very attractive to women. Even if you have a clunker, it’s paid off and she’ll know that you have your finances in order. When you have disposable income, she’ll know that you’re a good catch and that she’s in good hands.

Humor
You don’t have to be the next Jerry Seinfeld, but being funny is one of the most attractive qualities a man can have. Giving references to movies, TV or even political figures is an awesome way to keep her laughing. If you make fun of her in a way that is playful, she’ll have fun and this will give camaraderie and banter between the two of you. When you create slight tension between the two of you, you create something interesting.

Summary
Nobody wants to be alone forever, but the dating world can be very hurtful. Getting to know somebody should not be a chore, it should be a lot of fun. It doesn’t matter how you look. Haven’t you ever seen those ugly guys with the perfect girl? Do you know how they got them? It’s easy. They have all of the qualities above. Tweak the way you present yourself via this list and you’ll be better for it the next time you have a date.
