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.

Looks and physicality is for mating and breeding
It’s astonishing how women who cheat often subconsciously do so with more brawny physical manly looking men and do it when they are ovulating I think without realizing it
So all you weenie looking anesthesiologists making 600,000 a year better make sure where hot wyfe is hanging days 8-15
Just saying
I actually knew a very nice but nerdy neurologist with a beautiful wife
I often pondered this admiring her from afar at Christmas parties..but I was happily married...still...I wondered
God love him...
She even made the commune to my wife sure he’s nerdy but he’s a good earner
My wife about fell over
“Not addicted to drugs or alcohol”
They need a designated driver.
LOL! I’d be flabbergasted if I ever saw one at work!
I didn’t see plucking chin hair with tweezers. Does this mean I don’t stand a chance?
I know! The hotel the Stones were staying at after they trashed it presented them with it.
And they can divorce weenie easily and take half his stuff and the house and alimony and child support and go out and for awhile, bang more Chads.

Sounds like an add for a new bass plug.
“A sense of humor”
I ask every woman I meet to pull my finger.
I hope he feeds her.
You are, of course, one of the worst woman-haters on FR. There isn’t an anti-woman thread on FR that you aren’t making your disgusting remarks. Why that is considered conservative, is beyond me.
Unless, of course, they look like Leon di Caprio.
Beautiful women are almost always with ugly and/or pushy men. Smart, normal guys are terribly intimidated by gorgeous girls; they assume she’s already dating someone. Generally, she’s sitting home on Saturday night!
I’m dating an exception at the moment. To be fair, she took herself out of circulation and wasn’t even looking.
One cannot be in a healthy relationship if one is not comfortable in one's own skin. That's not a "woman thing" or a "man thing", it's a human thing. I suggest that men who abuse are not comfortable in their own skin; the abuse is an attempt to cover up some perceived lack in their own person. A man who is confident in himself doesn't need to crap on other people; a woman who is confident in herself doesn't have to manipulate other people.
That is a brilliant observation.
I knew a couple that had broken up. He moved away and the gal continued to pal around with our group. She often talked about wanting to meet a nice guy with a good job and steady personality. But, if we went somewhere for some drinks she was drawn to bad guys with tattoos like a moth to a flame.
Well, of course. If you guys are not needling conservative women, you are telling them to go make a sandwich. And then you guys wonder why you can’t get laid without coming across with dough or buying a poverty-stricken gal from the 3rd world..
