People like to talk about, how ‘women love bad boys’ etc, but honestly, there’s nothing sexier than a guy who is a genuinely good person.Not someone who is trying to appear like a ‘nice guy’ or someone who is worried about being perceived as good, but someone who genuinely cares deeply about doing the right thing.

Remember random stories I tell and/or notice things about me (what I like/don’t like, etc) without my directly telling you the info.On my first date with the man who became my husband, I told some random stories from my childhood. On our second date, he brought up one of them and asked a follow-up question.I was blown away. He listened AND thought about it? Made me feel valued and heard.Women LOVE when you pay attention to who they are as a person.
Awareness combined with handling things without being asked. A guy that can see what needs done & just does it w/o complaining makes me want to give him all the things.

Looking after me while I was sick with a fever and fussing over me until I was well again.
“I just saw that in a store and thought you might like it so i got it for you”.
The spontaneous kiss on the neck without the implication that they are fishing for more.

Not adding more mental load to me. If they see something needing done they don’t ask me if it needs to be done, they just do it.
Being considerate and thoughtful.
He adds, “It’s not about cracking the perfect joke, it’s about making her smile even on a bad day. If you can do that, you’re golden.”Kanan also points out, “The best part about being funny? It breaks the ice. Even if you don’t look like a movie star, a good sense of humor can make you unforgettable.”

Intelligence.
My bf literally was cleaning up the yard and brought me some of the wildflowers from around the yard. It was just a sweet simple gesture. It was thoughtful.
When it comes to physical appearance, things can get interesting. Research suggests that women tend to pick good-looking guys for short-term fun rather than long-term relationships.So, while abs might get attention, they don’t necessarily seal the deal in the long run.

When they take a break from acting stoic and are silly and playful instead.
Reading books for pleasure!
Quiet confidence.
For long-term commitment, kindness seems to be the real winner. Studies show that women are more drawn to men who are thoughtful, compassionate, and willing to help others.A guy who is generous with his time and emotions? That’s the kind of energy many women are looking for.

Being gentle. Truly wants me to be fine and not to hurt my Feelings. Helping Others. Standing up for those less privileged, speaking up, being a true ally ❤️.
When he pays attention and puts in effort.
When they’re gentle. Gentle-men.
And it’s not just a small trend. A massive global survey from 2019, which included 68,000 people from 180 countries, revealed that nearly 89% of women ranked kindness as one of the most important traits in a partner. Basically, being a good human never goes out of style.
TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. and putting the socks in the hamper.
Loving his kids/pets dearly. Emotional intelligence. Talking about our future together and looking forward to it (once we’re committed to each other, not in the beginning). Wanting to cuddle without the expectation of s*x. Speaking out about social injustices. A straight man that defends another man who is being picked on (like gay men/trans people) is just… wow. What a man.
So, while charm and looks might get initial attention, kindness and humor seem to be the real deal-breakers. Being genuinely caring and knowing how to lighten the mood go a long way in impressing someone.
Thinking ahead and planning in anticipation of something.
The waist grab never ever ever gets old.
Being a good dancer, playing a musical instrument.

Reverse parking with one arm.
Get me food after a long day without me asking for it or drive to wherever I am simply because ‘he wants to see me’ or ‘misses me’. Another thing I love is the fact that my boyfriend will send me pictures of random things he does/saw throughout the day. Like how heartwarming that you thought of me throughout the day 😭 COME HEREE!!
Said this many times before. Cooking real food. I dont care about instant ramen or a boiled egg. But if i see a guy cooking a proper dish and knows what hes doing, its very hot.
I have an ex who could call any customer service line usually about extra fees/messed up charges and calmly tell them exactly what he wanted done and usually got additional services/perks too. It was hot.Got an apartment to completely resurface the bathtub/shower in on of our bathrooms because it was slightly discolored when we moved in. Cable installation fees waved and a free month when they still charged it, etc.
Dont talk about s*x.Tbh i think it is a big turn on when he is just able to wait until i am ready to get intimate without talking about it beforehand all the time.
Do the dishes .
Being protective.
When a guy told me he had a Goodreads account I immediately texted two of my closest friends that I thought I found my soulmate
When my man talks to me in his I-just-woke-up, deep, raspy voice ♥️.
…1). By intelligence of course I mean, quantifiably and demonstrably so. None of the red-pill, low-quality discourse nonsense. Being articulate in thought and expression is a rarity these days which is to be expected given the visual media slops being forcefed to us in the name of short form content. So, yeah.. And not just in men but people generally.2). I love laughing and rarely, if ever, do I take myself so seriously. I love to laugh. I will find the humour in any and every single thing… It is what it is. People who can find the humour in life’s many MANY absurdities have my heart.3). I am in awe of people who are capable of whipping up greatness in the kitchen. They’re nothing short of alchemists I tell ya!4). Being responsible.
Doing things without having to be asked. Simple mundane house chores. No one wants to be with an adult child. Mummy isn’t here to pick up your s**t and I shouldn’t have to ask you. Sweeping once in a while, help clean the dishes, cook. Stuff like that, it really makes a huge difference and mentally just lifts a load off.
A good friend sneaked out of his job at 5AM to change my tire on the side of the road but he had just looked up a quick tutorial for the first time and finished the job in 10 minutes. he was dressed formally and when he rolled up his sleeves to get to work i just goddddd.
Rolling their sleeves up to their elbows when they’re wearing a dress shirt.
Manual labor 😩 working on a car, building something, etc.
He buys me choclate EVERY PERIOD he hasn’t missed one and has memorized my schedule.
This may sound stupid, but when they’re good at catching. You throw something at them, and they catch it so casually, with minimal effort.😅.
When a man smiles or laughs.
When they put one arm behind the passenger seat and reverse the car omg.
When they look after their bodies.
Cooking.
After shower - when they run their fingers through their wet/damp hair.
When talks about his passions and when he solves math problems like they’re nothing.
