15 Things You Would Never Expect Guys To Find Attractive
Guys are kind of strange creatures. They seem to be super simple and almost caveman like when they're watching sports on TV, playing video games or mindlessly eating from a bowl of chips. But then other times, they get super complicated when they start playing mind games or stop being clear about their intentions. It's confusing for us ladies! What do you guys really want? Well, turns out the guys don't really know what they want either. Or more accurately, every guy seems to want slightly different things. But there are a few things most guys can agree on. Of course, every guys want a girl who is smart, nice, and funny. It's what we want in a guy too. But what about when it comes to looks? What do guys find attractive? You might think the list ends at long legs, long hair, a big chest and a big behind but it turns out there are a couple other things that get guys going. The little things you didn't even realize he noticed. The things about yourself that you hate that he can't get enough of. Check out 15 things you'd never expect a guy to find attractive and then start using them to your advantage!
15 Fixing Your Hair
You probably know that men love women's hair. Their dream woman always has super long and thick locks that come down to her waist and sway while she walks. Well, it turns out that men love more than just long flowing hair. They love when you play with your hair. And we're not just talking about twirling a few strands around your fingers, though they would love that too. We're talking about the everyday stuff. When you gather up all of your hair to put it in a messy bun at the top of your head, you may think you're just settling into the easiest hairstyle to hide hair you haven't showered in a couple days. But your man can't resist it. So next time you want to put your hair up in a ponytail, a bun or even a fancy braid, make sure your guy is looking in your direction. Once you get his attention, odds are he won't be able to look away!
14 Standing On Your Tip Toes
Here is one for the short girls! Guys love when you stand on your tip toes. First of all, this pose gives them a great view of your body: arms and legs outstretched, back arched and hair falling down your back. And secondly, if your man happens to be taller than you, by standing on your tip toes you're hinting to him that his manly height could be of some assistance. So don't get all upset when you can't reach something on the top shelf. Give it your best shot and let your man enjoy the view. Odds are he'll come over to help once he sees you're struggling. We all know how much men love to help out, especially if they can use their height or muscles to get the job done. Just don't let him know that you have a step stool in the closet that could've done the job too!
13 Bedhead
Most women hate how they look first thing in the morning. You've got the last bits of yesterday's makeup smudged across your face, a bit of drool on your lip, imprints from the pillow on your puffy cheek and worst of all, bedhead. No one wakes up with their hair looking all smooth and shiny. First thing in the morning your hair is sticking up in all directions, it's fuzzy and full of knots. Who would be attracted to that? Guys, that's who. Guys love bedhead! Especially if they get to wake up next to it, because that means they went to bed with you - lucky him! Bedhead to a man is a nice reminder of the fun you two got up to the night before. He also loves the small moments when he gets to see you a bit undone and in your natural state. So don't feel the need to sneak off to the bathroom when you first wake up to fix your hair. Let him enjoy your sexy, messy bedhead!
12 Stretching
Just like standing on your tip toes, stretching gives your guy the ultimate view of your hot bod. He just gets to stare and enjoy the sights of you leaning this way and that, exposing his favorite parts of your figure. And bonus? You get in an awesome stretch! So don't save all your stretching for the floor of your gym or the corner of your block before you go on a run. Stretch in front of your man. Impress him with your flexibility and give him some ideas of things he might want to do with you later on (wink wink). If you're not so bendy, that's okay! You don't have to be a professional gymnast to impress your man with a little stretching. Even some light stretching can do the trick. For example, if you roll your neck around a few times, your guy gets a super sexy view of your collarbone. And you get to relieve some tension in your neck and shoulders. Win win!
11 Glasses
This goes back to the fantasy guys have about a sexy school teacher or librarian. And what's wrong with indulging in a little fantasy? So embrace your poor vision with pride! Glasses are no longer a sign of being an unfashionable dork or super geek. Glasses are totally chic and definitely attractive to men. Take the time to find a pair that fits your face and suits your style. The best is if you don't wear your glasses all the time but just use them occasionally. The surprise element will make your glasses even more attractive to your man. Let's say you take a seat next to him on the couch and pull out your glasses so you can focus on the football game. He won't be able to resist! If you really want to push him over the edge, add a high ponytail to your glasses look and really get that sexy school teacher thing going.
10 Sleeping
This one might be our favorite because it's just too easy. It's almost too good to be true - but it is true! Guys love to watch you sleep. Not in a creepy Edward Cullen way where he stays up all night and stares at you. But in a cute way like he wakes up a few minutes before you and takes the time to just think about how adorable you are. Hopefully, you're a cute sleeper. But even if you're not, your guy probably loves your sleepy look anyway. Even if you've got drool coming out of your mouth and a steady snore going on, he will still think you're cute. Guys are just weird that way! Of course, if you have a major snoring problem or some other bed issue, you might want to get that looked at for both of your sake's. But besides anything crazy, guys love us when we're sleeping. Should we be concerned that he likes us so much when we're not able to talk?
9 Wearing A Towel
Okay, so this one might be pretty obvious. Of course, guys think you're attractive when you're wearing nothing but a towel because that means you're one step closer to being naked. And naked is probably how he likes you best. But have you ever really looked at yourself when you're fresh from the shower? You've got your hair up in a big towel and mascara running down your cheeks. Your big body towel makes it look like you're shaped like a big column instead of the curvy goddess you are. And now you're getting sweaty and gross because you're tearing apart your closet trying to find those favorite jeans. But your guy still thinks you're looking pretty hot. Something about the towel and being wet from the shower is just so sensual and sexy to a man. Let him enjoy the show by taking your time getting out of your towel and into regular clothes.
8 Rapping
So this one might not be for everyone. But it's undeniable that guys are super impressed by girls who can spit some words and rap along with the best of them. If this isn't your forte, that's okay! But if you happen to have an Eminem song memorized or can't get enough of Kendrick Lamar, share that skill with your man. The next time your favorite rap song plays on the radio, take a deep breath and rap along as best you can. Your man will be in awe of your skills. And he'll be a little turned on. Guys love when you bust out secret talents, especially if they are ones he didn't think you'd have. So go for it and rap, beat box or break dance to show him how cool you really are. And even if you mess up the lyrics or don't stick your landing on that sweet dance move, he'll love the fact that you tried and will still think you're super adorable.
7 Having An Opinion
Contrary to popular opinion, guys actually like it when girls have an opinion. They do not like when you play dumb or act super indecisive. So if you have an opinion, state it! Do not be afraid to be the strong independent woman that you are. The kind of guy you want to be with will love that you have your own opinions and will be super into your strength. A strong woman is a sexy woman. So be confident and show that confidence off around men. From big things like your political view or stance on current events to small things like what movie to see or what you want to order for dinner, have an opinion and use it. Of course, no one likes someone who is rude or domineering. So find a way to have an opinion that does not step on anyone else's. He will love that!
6 Your Post-Workout Look
We don't know about you, but we have a hard time believing anyone could be attracted to us after a super intense workout. We've got sweat coming out of every pore, our faces are beat red, our hair is everywhere and our shirt is soaked. How is that attractive? We're not sure how, but the guys insist that it is. They love your post workout look! While you can't wait to get into the shower and look like a human again, your guy would much rather you spend some rocking that sweaty look. We think the guys like this look so much because it reminds them of how you must look after some bedroom fun, which is a look they definitely enjoy. Your guy loves the idea of you getting your sweat on and working on your fitness. In fact, if you wanted to come straight home from the gym and keep working with him, he definitely would not mind that.
5 Using His Name
So simple yet so effective. Guys absolutely love it when you use their names. They love the sound of their name coming out of your mouth with your lovely voice. They love how you call their name like no one else calls it. When you use their name, guys feel special. In fact, using their given name is actually more attractive to a man than any of the nicknames you might prefer using. So give this simple trick a try and throw his name into the conversation a few more times. Of course, don't overdo it. You'll sound like a machine if you use his name in every sentence: "David, I wanted to ask you what you, David, thought about this shirt, David?" But every now and then, surprise him by using his name. And try not to do it when you're mad at him because that's definitely not as attractive. "David, pick up your socks!" is not the way to win your man over.
4 Your Back
When we think of body parts that guys like we usually think of lips, boobs, bums, and hair. But did you know that guys are super into backs? No, not just your backside (bum) but your actual back. He loves those soft womanly curves and watching it arc back and forth as you go about your day. If you have got a great back, flaunt it! Bust out those low-back tops or backless dresses. Ask him to help you put sunscreen on your back when you hit the beach. Turn your back to him when you are getting changed to mix up the view. And even if you do not have a back that you love, odds are he still thinks it is attractive. It is the place where he gets to wrap his arms when he holds you or gives you a big hug. He obviously thinks your back is pretty great.
3 Ordering A "Manly" Drink
So when we say "manly" we mean drinks that are typically associated with men but that women can order all the time. We mean beer, whiskey, scotch and drinks like that. It turns out, guys love when you order a manly drink. They assume when you guys go out you will be knocking back vodka sodas, fancy cocktails, pink martinis, and other classic girly drinks. So surprise him and head to the bar to order a round of beers. He'll love watching you take a big swig, especially if you're out with friends and you're drinking beer with him and his buddies. Of course, if you can't stand beer and the idea of drinking whiskey or scotch makes you sick, don't do it. Watching you make a disgusted face or gag every time you pick up your glass is not attractive. But if you do like these drinks, order up!
2 Fear
So when we say guys are attracted to fear, we mean they think it is adorable when you get frightened by scary movies, jump when you see a spider or think the dripping pipe is someone trying to break into your house. They do not love these moments because they like to see you panic. They love these moments because it means they get to be your protector. If you hide behind your man during the scary parts of the movie he will love it. He loves when you rely on him for this stuff. But if your fear is more serious or you are scared of your guy, that is a different situation all together. Your man should not be attracted to the fact that you are terrified by something real or terrified by him. If that is the case, this is not your man and you need to get out.
1 Calling Him On His BS
So this one may sound a little strange. Do guys really like when you call them on their BS? Yes, yes they do. It goes back to men wanting and being attracted to strong women who have opinions. They want someone who isn't afraid to call them out on this. Of course, they also want someone who is nice and loving, so you need to find a balance. But don't be afraid to call him out and help him smarten up. Just be sure to do it in a way that isn't embarrassing. So you can tell him that running shoes aren't appropriate to wear to a wedding when you're at home getting ready, but you shouldn't tell him in front of everyone when you're at the wedding. Or if he is always running late, let him know that's not cool and you need him to change his behavior. But don't go postal at the restaurant and start screaming when he finally shows up.
