The art of attracting a partner has been one of the hottest topics since the beginning of humankind. Many people think it’s all about what kind of car they drive or how good they look in jeans, but in reality it is much simpler than that. The ability for men and women to attract a partner often comes down to having the right basic moves, so here are a few tips.

Women

If you ask a man what he looks for in a woman, he might give you a list of physical attributes as long as your arm, but in reality the same man might chase a woman who is alluring to him on a much deeper level.

1. Confidence

A woman who is self-confident and happy exudes an air of positive energy that men adore. Men can tell right away whether you are self-confident or not based on your body language. When you’re out in a crowd, stand tall and be proud of who you are. Even acting confident by having good posture, maintaining eye contact and not crossing your arms will make you more attractive to a man.

2. Smile

Never underestimate the power of a smile. When you smile, your whole face changes to show a happier, more confident version of yourself. You also become more approachable and appealing to men when you show your good-natured side.

3. Feel Your Best

It’s true that men are initially attracted to physical traits, but it doesn’t mean the woman has to be a specific height, with a specific colour of hair and a specific bra size. In fact, men are more attracted to women who are clearly looking after what they have. Wear clothes that flatter your body shape, perfume that makes you feel sexy, and colours that look the best on you, and you will automatically feel good and confident.

Men

When it comes to attracting a woman, many men don’t have a clue. Often they think that all that’s involved is giving her gifts and compliments, but that’s not quite it.

1. Confidence

Having confidence when meeting a woman is extremely important because a women wants to know that you are an interesting person who can offer something exciting to her life. To exhibit confidence, you must not only feel the part, but you have to look the part by standing, walking, talking and doing everything as if you were brimming with confidence. Don’t go over the top, however, as most women are turned off by a big ego.

2. Make Her Feel Good Emotionally

In general, women live life through their emotions, meaning that they will focus more on how a man makes her feel rather than his looks, power or money. Make sure you don’t go overboard and give her sap, however, because most women still want a man who is strong and who can support them emotionally and make them feel amazing.

3. Be Thoughtful

A woman really likes it when a man shows interest in her, and pays attention to her as if she’s the only person in the room. Being spontaneous, such as planning a date or bringing her flowers is a great way to prove that you think about her even when you’re not together. Truly being involved in conversation by asking her questions and making her laugh will work as well.

The main thing to remember when trying to attract a partner is that you really have to be yourself. If someone rejects you because you were staying true to yourself, then it wasn’t meant to be!
