Be honest, straight men: You all want to know what women want. Luckily, a bunch of scientists have wondered the same thing.
These types of studies are often small, and frequently rely on self-reported feelings in a lab, which may be different from how women truly react in real life. And the participants are often Western college students, who are not an especially a diverse group. So take the results with a grain of salt.
But hey, whatever helps, right?
Here are 11 science-supported traits that women find irresistible.
1. Good looks can be a factor, but they're not as important as you may think. In studies, women typically choose better-looking guys for flings, not long-term relationships.
2. A sense of humor is important to women. Scientists have found it makes men seem more intelligent.
3. For long relationships, women tend to prefer altruistic men who are kind and do good deeds.
4. In studies, women choose men posing in front of expensive cars or apartments, versus ordinary ones, possibly because they make the men appear rich.
5. Women may like older men because they've had time to accumulate more resources.
6. Facial hair has been an attraction and a repellent in studies, so that feature is likely based on preference. Do what you want with your face; you'll attract the right mate.
7. Older research concluded that people liked when other people liked them, but recent studies have found that "playing hard to get" could be an effective tactic. When men are unavailable, that might make women want them more.
8. Small studies have indicated that men with dogs do better with the ladies.
9. In one speed-dating experiment, women were more attracted to men who were mindful — present, attentive, and nonjudgmental.

Yup. Notice they also come to each other’s defense while people who push back against their vulgarity go it alone?! Such fragile creatures despite their language.
Not an argument.
Also, the only whores I referred to were men. I suggest your read what was written more carefully and the sources of the graphic I posted.
“A lot of them, thankfully, have gone over to the Q threads where you can be crazy and get away with it.”-—
Just spotted this——hysterical !!!!

+. I agree and am embarrassed by some of the garbage that women get here on FR.
If you do, it might be nice to bring it to the attention of the mods. If it is only one person complaining, I don’t think anything gets done. Thanks.
I have and I will continue to.
That’s great!
Just don’t mistake me for a “nice guy”! ;-)
But I always feel so SAFE with you!
Thank you! I consider that a high compliment.
Money and muscles.
11 digit bank accounts. That turns women on.
Hey! Didn't you hear? I got better too!"
Well, I’ll be.......
I guess it’s hard to keep a good man down.
And the bad ones keep popping up like weeds.
All too true!
Yep. Just like with the other couples I knew/know. One of those women is a relative, now in her mid-60’s, husband in his mid-50’s. There’s something about the women in that wing of the family - like you, they just don’t age.
I knew another woman who dated men around 15 years younger than she was, but she lied about her age. She was in her 50’s, lying by 10 years. They thought they were dating a woman 5 years older than they were. :-0
I used to look young for my age, but all the medical treatments have aged me, I think. So, I’m not one of those women. lol
It's not just one or two anecdotes, though.
Guys go for women in the young-to-mid-20s over 35-and-up almost unanimously.
No argument there.
...if age doesn't matter, does that hold for men too?
All I said was that it works for some couples. And we're not talking about a huge age gap or about adults dating teenagers.
