What Attracts a Man to a Woman
Let's ponder the age old question of what attracts a man to a woman? Of course, physical attraction is an important part of the puzzle, more so for a man than a woman.
One can not speak for everybody, but, in general, people are drawn to three important physical attributes in a mate: symmetrical features (i.
e.
the right and the left eyebrow are the same), clear skin, and a straight teeth.
For men specifically, Louann Brizendine writes in her book The Male Brain: "Researchers have found that the attraction to an hourglass figure-large breasts, small waist, flat stomach, and full hips-is ingrained in men across all cultures.
This shape tells his brain that she's young, healthy, and probably not pregnant with another man's child.
" Beyond the physical, what attracts a man to a woman? It simply boils down to this, a man wants a woman who makes him feel like a man (just like a woman wants a man who makes her feel more like a woman).
Primarily, a man wants to feel respected and capable.
So, therefore, what attracts a man to a woman is more for her to honor him than to adore him.
Also, he feels capable when she responds positively to what he provides for her.
A man is attracted, therefore, to a happy woman rather than a demanding or critical one.
Shocker! In Mars and Venus on a Date, John Gray summarizes what attracts a man to a woman: "female radiance.
" He further defines this radiance as a sense of self-assuredness, being receptive, and being responsive.
A self-assured woman believes in herself, is not a doormat, and has appropriate boundaries and healthy habits.
She respects herself and this is evident in how she presents and carries herself.
A receptive woman is open to what a man has to offer.
If he makes XYZ salary, she is receptive and open to that.
If he offers to fix her muffler by doing XYZ to it, she is receptive to his plan for the repairs.
If he kisses her here but not there, she is receptive to how he operates and accepts his offerings.
Likewise, a responsive woman is visibly pleased and expresses joy in the things she receives from him.
There is nothing that a attracts a man more to a woman than her big, beaming smile, especially when it's directed at him for something he's done for her.
The final piece of the puzzle in what attracts a man to a woman is what keeps him attracted once a relationship has begun.
Because, as Louann Brizendine says, "Men are chasers and women are choosers," a man remains attracted to a woman he does not 100% own and dominate once he has initially "conquered" her.
When a woman remains a bit of a mystery and doesn't ask, "How high?" when he wants her to jump, a man maintains his initial interest because there is still a little something to chase.
Remember, it all boils down to female radiance-physically and emotionally!
