Depending on what you want from this guy, you can get him to fall in love with you or get sexually attracted to you by using these tips on flirt texting a guy.

How to flirt with a guy over text

To start off, one of the most important things you need to remember is to avoid appearing like you’re the only one doing all the flirting.

When a guy knows the girl likes him, he would usually take a back seat and take her for granted.

Always make it appear like he’s the one trying to woo you or seduce you, and you’ll see just how much fun flirting with a guy over text really can be.

12 tips to text flirt with a guy

The next time you pick your cell phone up to get flirty with a guy, keep these tips on how to flirt with a guy over text in mind and you’ll see how easy it can be to make a guy go crazy about you.

#1 Tell him you remembered him. When you tell a guy you remembered him, it’s a compliment and a huge boost in ego for him. He’ll instantly feel warmer towards you and spend quite a while thinking about you too. “I just remembered that thing you did today and wanted to say it was funny/silly/hilarious”, “I just saw your facebook status and…” etc. will make him try harder to please you and win your attention.

#2 Use a lot of smiley faces. Smiley faces are flirty and fun, especially when you use them in texts. Sometimes, all you need is a smiley face and a wink to say ‘hello’ to begin a conversation. Use smiley faces in your texts almost all the time, and you’ll bring a smile on his face too.

#3 Use his name while texting. Using his name while texting him makes the exchange of texts so much more personal and intimate. Every few texts, use his name especially when you’re saying something complimentary or cute. He’ll start liking you a lot more. And if you do have a pet name for him, make sure you use that often too. [Read: How to pick a pet name for someone you like]

#4 Arouse him discreetly. Don’t text naughty with a guy directly. Always make him ask the questions. Text him about what you’re doing when he asks, but text something personal or intimate like “I’m trying my new clothes on”, “I just had a shower”, etc. Make him think dirty without really talking dirty. It’s the best way to arouse a guy and flirt with him without making it obvious that you’re initiating any flirty dirty texts.

#5 Keep it short. Don’t explain yourself for every statement you make. Keep it mysterious. It’ll make him create his own stories in his head. If he didn’t understand something you said or wants you to reconfirm what you meant, especially when you’re being flirty, change the topic or ask him another question.

When you leave him confused at times, he’ll try harder to keep the text conversation going just to look better in your eyes.  Make him work hard for your approval, and he’ll pursue you more. [Read: How to make a guy jealous and get his attention]

#6 Don’t text flirt in an obvious manner. Don’t make it appear like you’re flirting with him. He’ll think you’re too easy to get and take it easy while you do all the hard work of flirting.

Always make him talk dirty by giving him opportunities to think dirty, but don’t initiate the flirting. It’ll make him fall harder for you. He’ll assume he’s getting lucky or being smooth while texting you when it’ll actually be you doing all the planning.

#7 Compliment him. Now and then, be sweet to him while texting him. Guys love attention and compliments from girls. When you compliment him about how nice he is or how much of a sweetheart he is, he’ll try harder to do something nice for you. [Read: 8 character traits that guys love in a girl]

#8 Don’t try too hard and look desperate. Guys can see through that. Saying things like “there’s a new movie in town, wanna go?” will make him lose interest in the chase, especially when he knows you like him already. Don’t ask him out for dinner or the movies unless you’re sure he likes you already.

#9 Don’t ask him to meet you all the time. Don’t text him a line telling him to join you for coffee right away. He may come along just to be with you, but making last minute plans all the time would piss him off after a while. He has his own life, you know. You can’t treat him like a trailing dog unless you’re still in school and you guys have all the time in the world to spare. Indulge in flirting, but don’t ask him to meet you in the last minute unless he texts you mentioning he wants to join you.

#10 Don’t be clingy. If he isn’t responding to your text on time, leave it at that. Don’t even text something funny just to get him to respond back to you. If a guy’s not responding, it’s because he’s busy or not interested in the conversation. Get his point and stop trying to be pushy. If he likes you and wants to impress you, he would text you back in a flash unless he’s busy. [Read: 20 reasons why a guy may never like you back]

#11 Don’t drag the text conversation. Don’t let the conversation bore either of you. End it or think of something to say if the texts are losing direction or starting to get rather boring. Excuse yourself and tell him you’ll text him back later. If you want to flirt with a guy over text, you need to keep it interesting. Once it starts to get even a wee bit boring, end the conversation and tell him that you’ll text him back later. It’ll ensure that his interest in you won’t wear off soon. [Read: 10 sexy tips to seduce a guy who isn't yours]

Keep these 11 tips on how to flirt with a guy over text in mind the next time you want to text flirt with a guy. It’ll make him fall harder for you and make flirting with a guy a lot easier for you.

Wondering what to say to a guy you like to make an impression and make him like you? Use these 8 tips to work your magic and make him fall for you! By Keith Brown

what to say to a guy you like

Guys always like a girl who makes them feel good about themselves.

If you can make a guy feel appreciated when he’s with you, you’ll find it a lot easier to make him like you and want to spend time with you.

If you know this guy well already, that’s a great start.

But if you don’t know him yet, learn to catch his attention by using the tips in how to get a guy’s attention no matter where you are.

What to say to a guy you like

For a guy to like you, you need to be the kind of girl he wants as a girlfriend.

At times, both of you may just have different compatibilities.

But no matter what the odds are, it’s always better to have tried and failed than never having tried at all.

[Read: 8 traits guys like in a girl more than anything else]

Use these 8 tips on what to say to a guy you like, and chances are, he’ll start to like you a lot more and start to think of you as more than a friend in no time.

#1 Wait for his lines. When you start talking to the guy you like, don’t try too hard to make him feel comfortable with you. You’ll just end up appearing too easy to get. Make him work for your conversation and your attention. Wait for him to say something to you after you say hello.

Almost all guys have a few lines in their head for the first conversation when they walk up to a girl. But if he doesn’t say anything and just shifts his feet awkwardly, just smile and ask him something about the place or what he’s been up to recently. It’s a safe start that’ll always bring new things to talk about.

Ask him about what he does, his work or anything else that involves his daily activities. This is a safe way to warm a guy up especially if he’s shy or nervous. Ask a guy anything that’ll make him feel at ease and confident. He’ll slowly start opening up and be grateful to you for being such a charming conversationalist.

#2 Compliment him. Compliments always bring two people closer. If you genuinely feel like there’s something worth complimenting about him, tell him about it. Don’t talk about his appearance or how much you like him. Just keep your compliments casual, but memorable. [Read: How to flirt with a guy without making it obvious]

#3 Get personal. When you’re in the middle of a conversation with the guy you like, get him to speak about himself. And additionally, ask him about his girlfriend and his leisure activities. It’s an immediate cue to let him know you’re interested in him in a more-than-just-friends way. Be involved in the conversation and look deep into his eyes when he’s talking to you.

#4 Smile a lot. Guys love a cute girl who smiles while having a conversation. And each time you laugh out when he says something funny or nice, it’ll make him feel better about himself. For a guy, making a girl laugh or smile is an achievement to be proud of. Make him feel good about himself by smiling and blushing a lot during the conversation, and he’ll just want to continue talking to you. [Read: 25 ways to look cute while talking to a guy]

#5 Ask him to help you. Bring out a man’s protective instinct in him. Depend on him for something, and he’ll feel more connected to you. Ask for his help like walking you down the street because it’s dark and lonely or carrying a few books because it’s heavy.

He’ll feel more protective towards you. Guys like feeling important and dependable, and if you subtly give him a chance to impress you or show off his masculinity, he’ll enjoy the attention and the time he spends with you.

#6 Speak your mind. Don’t just accept anything he says just to seem nice and sweet. Be yourself and if you don’t agree with something he says, voice your thought. But be pleasant when you contradict him. Guys love a challenge, but they’d be put off by a girl who behaves like a smartass by constantly putting a guy down just to prove a point. [Read: How much should a girl dumb down to impress a guy?]

#7 Be courteous. Ask for his help, but always remember to be gracious and thankful to him when he does help or offer to help. Behave like a perfect damsel and the guy you’re talking to will like you for it. Even if a guy likes an independent woman who’s in control of her life, he would appreciate it when a girl asks for his help and feels thankful to have him around. [Read: How to be the perfect damsel in distress that guys like]

#8 Memorable goodbyes. Be coy and shy, especially while saying goodbye to him. Have a pleasant conversation the whole while, but part ways just before things start to get boring or awkward. End the conversation and tell him you need to go just while it’s still fun. By doing that, you’ll make him wish he could have spent more time with you. And making him hope to be with you for a longer while is one of the first steps in making him like you while talking to him. [Read: How to ask a guy out like a classy girl]

Smile coyly, and ask him to call you sometime. And end the happy flirty conversation by saying something like “I had a wonderful time talking to you”. He’ll definitely be thrilled to hear those words from you.

Creepy guys are all around us. But what makes a creepy guy so creepy and what are the types of creepy men you need to avoid? Find out here. By Sophia Strutt

creepy guy

Many guys can be creepy for a lot of reasons.

Some guys are creepy because they smile like Brad Pitt but look nothing like him.

Some guys are creepy because they laugh like they’ve been living in a horror flick.

Some guys are creepy because they smell like bad sex.

And other creepy guys are creepy for a lot of other creepy reasons.

[Read: 20 things that turn a guy on sexually about a girl]

What makes a guy creepy?

Sometimes, even the nicest of guys can turn out to be creepy guys.

After all, creepy is subjective and what may seem desirable to one girl can seem creepy to another.

[Read: The story of a nice guy who ended up becoming a creepy clingy guy]

But we’ve all been there.

You’re walking on a street and bump into an annoying guy or are introduced to a guy you just can’t shake off. And they’re all creepy in their own ways.

But what makes a guy creepy really?

Almost all the time, it’s an unexplainable feeling of discomfort and awkwardness. You can’t really explain it, but you feel miserable spending time with this person.

But what’s the easiest way to define a creepy guy? Well, a creepy guy is anyone who shows interest in a girl when the girl doesn’t fancy him back at all.

It’s not fair to most guys, but if a guy can’t take a hint that you don’t like him, you have a right to brand him as your personal creepy guy. [Read: How to be just friends when he wants more]

10 creepy guys you definitely need to avoid

There are some mildly creepy guys, and then we have the scary creepy guys. If you’re attracting the attention of a guy you don’t like, and he exhibits any of these 10 creepy guy signs, it’s time for you to back away and keep him away from you.

#1 The boob staring creepy guy. This is the guy who can’t help staring down your cleavage all the time. He thinks he’s too smart to get caught staring down your tee, but he gets caught anyway. And no matter how many times you catch him, nothing stops him from trying to stare at your breasts.

He’s a creepy guy with lust on his mind. If an unfanciable guy constantly stares you up and down like he wants to eat you, he’s definitely a creepy guy you need to avoid. [Read: Why do guys like breasts like crazy?]

#2 The touchy feely creepy guy. This is the creepy guy that can gross you out. He’s extremely touchy even when you don’t reciprocate his moves. He uses any excuse to touch you or, gasp, hug you! He holds your hand for no reason and runs his hand along your back until you bend your back like a contortionist and duck away from his side.

He’s the guy who may eventually reach his hands out to the front of your shirt in the heat of the moment. If a guy touches you and the hair on your hands start to stand, he’s definitely the touchy feely creepy guy.

#3 The personal space creepy guy. Do you have a friend or a colleague who just doesn’t understand the meaning of personal space? If you know a guy who stands so close to you that you can smell yesterday’s breakfast on his breath, he’s definitely a creepy guy that needs to be avoided.

He doesn’t understand social etiquette and he’s definitely getting close to you for a reason. Better push him away before he thinks you enjoy the intermingling of both your personal spaces. [Read: The 7 stages of love for men]

#4 The dirty talking creepy guy. Do you know a guy who thinks he’s a smooth dirty talker when he’s definitely not? If a guy talks about your visible bra strap or how sexy your ass looks today even when you tell him off, he’s a creepy guy you need to avoid.

He may assume that both of you are actually exchanging fun, sexy conversations with each other. What’s next, he may want to have sex with you!

#5 The rich boastful creepy guy. Well, what do you say about this one? He’s rich, but he’s completely obnoxious. He boasts and brags, and think all women must strip down and bow before him and his riches. If a braggart of a rich guy hits on you, and you don’t like him back, walk away from him before he starts wooing you and embarrassing you all the time. [Read: Are insecure guys ever worth dating?]

#6 The creepy fetish guy. Have you ever dated a guy who seems to have a lot of crazy fetishes? Unless you share his interests or are deeply in love with him already, end any relationships with crazy fetish guys who go overboard with their fetishes.

#7 The creepy stalker guy. Has a guy professed his undying love for you recently? Does he now spend all his time following you around town no matter where you are? The creepy stalker guy is the guy who thinks he’s being cool and persuasive by trailing you everywhere. Avoid him, don’t give him any attention and try to give him the slip.

#8 The older creepy guy. Does your dad’s friend hit on you? Old creepy guys are the weirdest of the lot! They’re socially cuckoo and desperate for attention from young perky people. They assume younger girls are easier to get, because they can’t ever get a date with women their own age. If you have an older friend who tries to behave like a touchy feely creepy guy, he’s surely an older creepy guy you need to get away from.

#9 The staring creepy guy. Do you exchange glances with interesting guys at a coffee shop? Then you’ve definitely meet Mr. Staring Creepy Guy. He’s the guy who drops everything else and stares at you with a vengeance. He stares hard, with an eye watering lingering gaze that stretches into an eerie smile each time you look at him. [Read: What kind of men stare at women?]

#10 The loving creepy guy. He’s obsessed with you, and no matter what you say, he just thinks you’re playing hard to get. This is romantic nightmare, and he’d do anything to try and win your attention and your love. There’s not much you can do to get him off your back because he just won’t believe you don’t love him back. The only thing you can do with this creepy guy is play nice.

It’s easy to make a guy fall for you or make him feel more affectionate towards you.

Compliments make girls feel good about themselves.

Compliments for guys and why they work

Compliments make anyone feel happy.

But when you’re a guy, you don’t get complimented too often.

Men may crave for compliments, but that’s not because they’re needy or attention seeking.

It’s because they hardly ever get complimented.

Guy friends don’t usually compliment each other unless they’re playing an aggressive brute game, and women friends only compliment a guy in a flirty way when he’s treating them like he has a crush on them.

So when you say something nice to a guy now and then, be it a friend you like or your new boyfriend, he’ll definitely remember it and feel more appreciated too.

25 compliments for guys that always work

The best way to compliment a guy is by acknowledging his traits or manly behavior. While telling a guy that he looks good can make him feel awkward and yet good about himself, there are many more things that’ll make him feel even better. [Read: What to say to a guy to make him like you]

Here are 25 traits of a man that you could compliment, and he’ll remember you and your compliment with fond adoration.

#1 Advice. Ask a guy for advice and thank him for it. Guys love suggesting solutions when a pretty girl asks for help. A line like “I can always count on you for the best advice” with a cute and flirty wink will make him feel six inches taller!

#2 Charm and speaking abilities. Is your boyfriend a nice conversationalist? Then compliment him about it instead of just watching him in awe. “All my friends love you, they think you’re such a great guy to hang out with” is a line that’ll make him beam with pride. [Read: How to flirt with a guy without really flirting]

#3 Driving skills. Every guy thinks he’s a better driver than those guys on the F1 circuit. The next time he’s driving you around town, use a smooth swerve in the car to compliment him for his classy driving skills.

#4 His physique. Guys spend a lot of time trying to look better for the ladies. Well, at least most guys do. One of the best ways to appreciate a guy sexually without overdoing it is by complimenting his physique. Don’t be vague. Get specific in your compliments, be it his guns or his well rounded shoulders.

#5 When other women check him out. Walking down a street with your man? Don’t hate him or dig your nails into his arm if other women check him out. Instead, point it out. He’ll enjoy your compliment when you say that you feel lucky to be in his arms.

#6 His bar skills. This isn’t about law school, but about his refined taste in liquor. If the guy you’re with knows his drink well or if he suggests drinks or combinations that taste great, compliment him about it.

#7 His dreams and ambitions. Guys make big plans from a very young age. Talk about his dreams with him, and if you find his castles in the sky really fascinating, compliment him about his vision. He’ll feel closer for having shared his dream with you and like you a lot more because you appreciate his dreams. [Read: 20 circumstances when a guy will never like you back]

#8 Sense of humor. Every guy knows that girls dig humor. And so they spend a lot of time trying to get better at being funny. If you’re dating a guy who makes your pee your shorts, make sure you place your hand on his cheek, look at him sideways and compliment him about his sense of humor.

#9 His ability in bed. Is your man great in bed? If he is, don’t stop telling him about it. The more you compliment his sexy abilities in bed, the more adventurous and sexy he’ll become in bed. And that’s good news for both of you.

#10 His chivalry. Did he hold the door open for you? Or did he just step aside so you could enter the elevator first? Flash your cutest smile and compliment him for his chivalry. He’ll love the fact that you noticed his good manners. [Read: 25 ways to look cute and melt a guy's heart]

#11 Protective instincts. Evolution has trained men to protect women. If you say something like “I always feel safe around you” when you’re walking down a street late at night, his chest will swell and he’ll feel really proud of himself.

#12 His bond with his friends. The male bond between guy friends may be hard for girls to understand. But nevertheless, if he has a great bunch of friends with whom he’s really close, try your best to get along with them. And later, tell your man just how nice his friends were. He’ll love it, especially when he thinks his friends are a reflection of himself.

#13 His work. Is this guy a workaholic? Or is he a slacker who always finds ways to complete his work on time? Hearing you say “I love what you do, it’s so meaningful…” will make him feel as appreciated as a promotion.

#14 His strength. Ask him to open a tight jar. Or ask him to help you carry a big bag up a flight of stairs. And when he’s all glistening with sweat, compliment him about his awesome superman strength.

#15 The way it feels when he’s inside you. “God, you’re so big it’s hurting me” will make him swell even more. Guys like to know they’re making a big impact when they enter a girl. If he’s making just the right kind of impact when he’s going in, make sure you let him know everything you feel. [Read: How to talk dirty to a guy and sound really sexy]

#16 His brains. Are you dating a smart guy or a guy who seems to have the perfect answer for anything? Compliment his knowledgeable side and let him know just how awesome he is. A smart guy would love to know that you appreciate him for his brains too. [Read: Should a girl dumb it down to impress a guy?]

#17 A good long stare. Stare at him like you want to eat him up when he walks up to you. Even if you don’t say anything, he’ll know exactly what’s on your mind. And he may even blush or feel happily awkward about it!

#18 His clothes. You may be helping him pick out his wardrobe, but when he comes out to meet you looking like a gorgeous mannequin on the move, go right ahead and compliment him about it. It’ll make him feel really good too. Guys don’t get too many compliments about the way they look. After all, his guy friends just won’t walk up to him and say “hey, you look good today!” So compliment his appearance and he’ll never forget it.

#19 His principles. A man of principles is a great catch. So if you’re dating a guy who holds his moral principles firm and close, say something nice about it. “You know, I’ve never met a guy who’s as just as you. You’re such a man of principles” will definitely make him feel proud.

#20 His tastes and choices. Is your guy a refined gentleman with impeccable taste or preferences? If you like the way his place looks or if you like his movie collection, compliment him about it and make him feel special.

#21 Compare him to a famous celebrity. Now don’t go comparing your guy’s appearance to the best looking celebrity of the year in the world because he’ll assume you’re just trying to flatter him *unless he does look that hot*. Instead, compare his traits or personality with a really good character in a movie or even a celebrity. It’ll seem more believable, and he’ll appreciate it a lot more.

#22 Ask for his help. You need him. You’re so helpless without him. And that’ll make him fall harder for you. Ask him to help you with something that you know he’s good at. If he enjoys it, he would be able to please you and have fun at the same time. You’d feel good about it, and he’ll definitely feel good about it too. [Read: 16 ways to make your boyfriend want you more than ever]

#23 Boast about him. Speak highly of him in front of his friends or your family. He may behave like he’s embarrassed about the flattery, but secretly, he’d love the fact that you’re speaking so highly of him.

#24 Compliment his voice. Compliment his voice, especially in bed. Does your man have a deep baritone that gives you happy gooseflesh when he whispers in your ears? Compliment his voice and he’ll remember your words every time he says a word. [Read: 10 sexy steps to seduce a man who's not yours]

#25 His leisure skills. A guy participates in many leisure activities to feel relaxed and rejuvenate. Some guys like playing on the Xbox while others like indulging in an outdoor sport. It may be a leisure activity, but it’s something all guys take pride in.

When you watch him play, cheer for him and tell him just how awesome he is at the game. He’ll love the fact that you appreciate his games instead of telling him to avoid it and spend time with you.

Do guys categorize girls in the dating world? Here are 12 dating stereotypes of women that come to a guy’s mind when he sees you as a potential date. By Gerry Sanders

stereotypes of women

If you’re trying to impress a guy into liking you, you don’t need to wait too long to read his mind.

Almost always, a guy makes up his mind about a girl within the first conversation.

Well, unless of course, he just sees you as a friend.

If a guy puts you into his friend zone, he may not stereotype you into any of these women.

But if a guy doesn’t see you as a friend, and considers you as a dating potential, big chances are, you’re in one of these categories in a guy’s mind.

[Read: 30 facts about guys that can help you read his mind]

Dating stereotypes of women

Now all guys may not acknowledge this to you, but as a guy, I can tell you that subconsciously every guy has a *special* name for a girl he hopes to date or hopes to avoid dating.

If you’re his friend, don’t worry, you may not find a place here. But if you’re a girl trying to get a guy’s attention, you’re definitely on this list in the guy’s mind.

You may not like these stereotypes of women, but hey, some things happen involuntarily in a guy’s mind. [Read: 30 subtle, obvious and sexual flirting tips for girls]

The 12 dating stereotypes of women in a man’s mind

If you were a guy, and hanging out with your group of guy friends, bonding over a beer, you’d find these stereotypes of girls crop up every now and then in a conversation about girls.

All guys use these terms and a few more to categorize girls they notice at work or in college.

Read these 12 stereotypes, and ask yourself the secret question, where would the guy you like stereotype you?

#1 The one night stand woman. To a guy, this is the girl who’s extremely easy to sleep with. She’s probably slept with half the football team or a department at work. This kind of a girl may think she’s sexually confident.

But to a guy, he’d think all he needs to do is take her out to dinner and buy her a gift, and she’d screw him in return. The sad part here is that all guys speak about this girl like she’s trash. They’d say they’d never hook up with her ever, but secretly every guy wants to sleep with her because she’s just so damn irresistible and sexy! [Read: 16 signs you're a sex kitten and loving it!]

#2 The nice girl. The nice girl is a sweet girl that every guy likes. Guys like her company but don’t always date her because she seems like such a nice person. This girl usually falls straight into the friend zone because she’s too sweet, too nice and just too warm and friendly to date. She’s the friend all guys want, mostly because she’d give them the right introductions and the access to get to know other girls.

#3 The backup woman. This is the woman a man smooth talks and flirts with all the time. He occasionally goes out with her too, but he doesn’t really date her or fall for her. A backup woman is the woman a guy keeps as his backup, for days when he’s lonely or unable to get any girl to date.

She’s always ready to meet the guy at his beck and call, because she has a small crush on him already. And he takes her easy because she’s always available for him. To a guy’s friends, a backup girl is like owning a second car. The guy who has a backup girl is almost always looked up as a great dude because he gets a girl to date or make out with whenever he wants.

#4 The unattainable woman. This is the woman who’s so hot and awesome, a man shrivels up down there just thinking of approaching her. She’s extremely confident and attractive, and she has a great job. Most guys would never even dream of approaching her and would be happy just lusting after her from far away. She’s the kind of girl only really great guys approach, and most lower mortal men see her as a sexy but snotty bitch. [Read: Are attractive girls really mean to guys?]

#5 The woman who thinks she’s hot stuff. This woman is the butt of all jokes on a guy’s night out. Ever met a girl who thinks all guys are attracted to her or trying to hit on her wherever she goes *even though you know for a fact that no guy is actually interested in her*?

Well, this stereotype is that girl. They crave for a guy’s attention all the time, and pretend like it’s the guy who’s actually trying to win their attention. Guys hate women who think they’re hot stuff when they’re really far from it.

#6 The high maintenance woman. This is the girl who can be a great date and a great girlfriend, but she’s just too difficult to please or afford. She’s probably the girl that’s born with a silver spoon or has been raised by aristocratic parents who have spoilt her with riches. She always looks like she just stepped out of a magazine photo shoot and is incredibly attractive, but she’s also out of reach of guys who don’t have deep pockets. And in most cases, she has no idea she’s high maintenance! [Read: 15 signs you're a high maintenance woman and don't know it]

#7 The off-limits woman. This is the woman a guy wouldn’t pursue or date even if he finds her extremely attractive. Confident guys aren’t afraid of stealing girlfriends when they get a chance, but if a girl’s dating his good friend, or if his single friend likes a girl, any good guy would stay away from her even if he finds himself falling for her. It’s just the way guys work, unless they’re backstabbers who don’t care about friendships.

#8 The gold digger. Everyone knows this girl. She’s the one who dates a guy only after evaluating how much he can spend on her. As a girl, you may not realize it, but there are more gold digger stereotypes out there than you think.

When a girl talks to a group of guys, but gives more attention to the guy who drives a sports car, chances are, in a guy’s mind, she’s definitely a gold digger. A gold digger isn’t necessarily a bad woman. It’s just that money is pretty up there in her list of priorities. Guys are attracted to gold diggers and do date them, but only if they’re smitten by them and don’t care about splurging on the girl just to keep each other happy.

#9 Sugar momma. There are different kinds of sugar mommas. There are the rich older women who’ll splurge on a guy just to get into his pants. And then, on the other extreme, there are nice and sweet girls who’ll pay every time the guy and the girl go out to dinner *just to win a guy’s affection*.

There’s nothing wrong with being a sugar momma, but most guys don’t take these girls seriously or look for a long term commitment with them. Always remember, make a guy work for your affection by keeping him on his toes. Don’t try to buy his affection, it never works. [Read: How to make a guy chase you and get more interested in you]

#10 The guy chick. This is the friendly and yet, attractive girl. She’s definitely dateable, but her boyish behavior could put many other guys to shame. She’s into burping games and drinking bottoms up, and she loves a good game. Guys like the guy chick because she’s always fun to hang out with, and the sex is good. But after a while, a guy who dates a guy chick would always start to feel like he’s in a relationship with another guy, and not a girl. [Read: 20 secret things guys wish girls knew about guys]

#11 The prude. This is the girl who doesn’t like talking about sex, or anything sexual. She may be interesting to date, but her stuck up behavior could leave any guy bored of her. She’s too stiff, doesn’t like dirty jokes or doing anything reckless now and then, and definitely doesn’t like trying something new in private.

She may know everything about sex already, but she pretends like it’s such a bad thing. And this façade of prudishness that she portrays to the world could put any guy off because she’ll come off as a fake more than anything else. [Read: How to talk to a guy and make him like you]

#12 The perfect girl. No guy really knows the real definition of a perfect girl because it differs from one guy to another. But if a guy likes a girl or falls head over heels in love with her, chances are, she’s the perfect girl for him. [Read: 12 really easy ways to make a guy like you and want you more]

But if you want a hint on how to be this stereotype and make every guy fall for you, for starters, learn to behave like a girl. The only reason why guys are so drawn to women is because of how awesomely different girls are from guys. Smile more, laugh more and be more of a girl when you’re with a guy. Really, it doesn’t make you seem silly even if your ungirly friends say it does.

[Read: 13 signs your friends are ruining your relationship]

There are many more personal stereotypes of women in a guy’s mind when it comes to dating and love. But these 12 types should sum up most of them. Do you have any dating stereotypes yourself?

How to Attract Men in a Way They Can’t Resist!

There’s an evolutionary secret that can help you understand how to attract men and make them desire you instantly. And the real secret’s right here. By Keith Brown

how to attract men

The science of attraction between the sexes, as complicated as it may seem, is pretty simple to explain in a few lines.

Girls are more easily attracted to a guy who appears healthy and stress-free, has a good level of testosterone which makes him appear more manly and chiseled, and has a protective streak in him which makes him a good mate material and a father.

Guys, on the other hand, are more easily attracted to girls based on their appearance or behavior.

[Read: 30 super sexy ways to get any guy interested in you]

But that’s not it though.

To truly understand how to attract men and how a man’s mind works, we need to get deeper into the concept of attraction from the male point of view.

How to attract men in a way they can’t resist

A guy may like a girl for different reasons, but when it comes to physical or sexual attraction at first sight, her physical appearance and her behavior matters more than anything else.

So if you want to attract a man and make him desire you, you just need to get his attention the right way. And the rest, as they say, is history! [Read: 22 ways to get a guy’s attention in any circumstance]

You need to keep this in mind though, love and attraction are two completely different things. A guy may find you extremely attractive, yet he may not end up falling in love with you for his own reasons. [Read: 20 reasons why a guy may never like you back]

But for love to blossom in the first place, you need to build the sexual attraction before you make him fall in love with you. It’s the safest way to make sure the guy falls for you and stays in love with you. [Read: The 7 stages of love for men]

Attraction and how a man views a woman’s body

As we know that physical attraction plays a very big part in attracting a guy, you need to understand what a guy’s mind tells him when he sees you and sizes you up.

When a guy sees a girl’s physical assets, he subconsciously sees more than just your breasts or your butt. The right curves in all the right places tells a guy that a girl is fertile and has come of age, and that she’s healthy because her body can afford to waste energy on developing her curves which play the biggest role in sexual attraction.

A guy may think a girl is attractive. But in his subconscious mind, he’s gauging you as the woman who may carry his offspring one day. [Read: Evolution and the parts of a woman's body that has the biggest impact on men]

Testosterone and a man’s sexual preference

Every man produces testosterone, a sexual hormone, in his testes. And women produce a small amount of testosterone in their ovaries. The more testosterone a man produces, the more manly he looks and the more sexually virile he is. His facial features appear manlier, his jaws are wider and more chiseled and his voice is deeper.

And several studies have shown that the more manly a man is, the more attracted he’d be to women who exhibit feminine traits *girlie, cute traits*.

On the other hand, a small percentage of men who produce a lesser-than-normal amount of testosterone may find themselves getting more attracted to women who are less feminine and more controlling and dominant in the relationship.

So if you’re trying to catch the attention of a typical guy *a large percentage of men have normal or high production of testosterone even though the overall average testosterone levels have dropped significantly in American men over the last 50 years*, chances are, he’d love you if your behavior is more feminine, cute and girly! [Read: Do guys prefer dating cute, shy girls over other girls?]

The perfect woman for a real man – She’s cute and sexy

A regular man who isn’t suffering from low testosterone would always find a feminine woman more attractive than a woman who thinks femininity is overrated and displays traits that are traditionally considered manly.

While a girl’s physical appearance is the biggest sign of femininity, at times, it helps if you can display more femininity in your behavior. No, I’m not saying pink frills and scented paper. But there are always other ways to appear cuter and get a guy to take a second and third look at you. [Read: 10 ways to get a guy to notice you and fall for you without even talking to him]

Why do guys like cute girls?

Men have always been the more aggressive sex in the human species. They’re usually the ones who spread their legs wider, stand tall and swell their chest up while trying to appear threatening all the time, more so when they’re in an argument or when they meet someone they see as a threat in any manner.

But cute changes everything. When a girl behaves in a cute and feminine manner, it brings out the protective instincts of a man. Instead of feeling threatened by a feminine girl, he feels protective about her. That makes him feel more masculine, and that’s something every guy loves to feel! [Read: Why men love a damsel in distress and feel more emotionally connected to them]

When a girl reveals her vulnerable side to a guy, it’s very hard for any guy to ignore her or avoid noticing her vulnerability. And the instant his mind connects with her vulnerability, it eliminates any thoughts of a threat and his protective side creates a bond of protection and attachment with her.

He feels the need to be around her, and his subconscious mind tries very hard to make her feel protected, comfortable and loved around him. He loses his aggressive stance, the tone of his voice softens down, and his shoulders droop down towards her instead of spreading wide. And before he even gives attraction a second thought, he’d realize that he likes the girl already! [Read: The right way to talk to a guy and make him like you]

Traits of a cute and feminine girl that draw real man

Many girls are against the idea of being feminine or behaving in a cute manner. To a typical feminist, behaving in a demure or coy manner is a sign of weakness. And they can’t accept that a guy finds a cute *and dare, we say it… submissive* girl more attractive than a girl who likes to be a non-girlie girl.

If you’re feminine, you don’t really have to be cute. But if you can pull off a perfectly cute personality, it would only add to your allure and make you more desirable among men.

To understand cute behavior better, all you need is to interact with a couple of Japanese or Thai girls whose behavior isn’t influenced by us Americans. They’re not meek or silly, nor do they have to behave like stupid bimbos to win a guy’s affection. All they have to do is flaunt what sets them apart, and that’s their femininity and grace. [Read: 10 easy moves to appear a lot more graceful and feminine]

And no testosterone laden guy can resist the allure of a sweet Asian girl when he’s having a conversation with her. Everything about them makes them appear more beautiful and feminine, right from their cute heart signs with inverted hands, the way they nod their heads, the way they behave while having a conversation with you to the way they smile coyly and yet so warmly.

Femininity comes naturally to some girls *not just Asian girls*, but it’s an art that’s worth learning. If you want to know how to attract men, all you need to do is exude your feminine side while talking to them. And once you try that, you’ll know what I’m talking about. [Read: How to flirt with a guy without really flirting at all]

And remember, a cute girl who displays her feminine side will always have an edge over all other girls when she’s trying to catch the attention of a real man!

How to bring out your feminine side naturally

Femininity comes naturally. But cuteness can be created by the way you behave. Here are 25 tips to behave in a cute way that can help you get as cute as a button in no time.

Additionally, if you’re on a date with a guy and want to come across as a girl who’s in touch with her femininity, here are a couple of tips for you.

#1 Dress in softer pastel colors like peach or mauve. The color will give your skin tone a healthy glow that makes you look warm and likeable instantly.

#2 Smile more often. A smile can make you appear more pleasant and friendly.

#3 Run your fingers through your hair delicately. Always works for any guy!

#4 Tip your head slightly downwards when you’re blushing or smiling, and look at him from under your eyebrow.

These four tips may sound bizarre for a feminist or a cute-bashing girl, but trust me, it will do wonders for your date! [Read: How to impress a guy in 13 oh-so-awesome ways]

A tip to remember – Don’t be yourself if you can be better

Contrary to popular belief, don’t be yourself. Evolve.

When someone tells you that the best way to attract someone is by being yourself, well, they’re not entirely right. All of us change all the time. And not every change that we see in ourselves may be in the right direction.

Who are you? How would you define yourself? We are who we are because of our socioeconomic status, the people around us, and other influences we’ve had in our lifetime. A lucky few may have had the opportunity to be influenced by the perfect examples, while most of us have to change to become better individuals. Or worse, we never get to become better individuals  or achieve the full potential that’s within us because we’re convinced we’re all perfect already. [Read: 25 life-changing lessons you need to learn to perfect your life]

You don’t have to change yourself just to attract men, but change yourself to become a better you. Have you ever walked into a room full of attractive women, and found yourself thinking that a few of those girls were better than you in some way? When you meet a woman and find yourself in awe of her for any reason at all, it only means you admire and want some particular trait of hers that you lack yourself.

If you like a trait about a friend, be it her spontaneity, her courage, her carefree attitude, her posture, or the way she dresses up, your mind may subconsciously like that trait because you want to see that trait in yourself. A change of this kind is good, where you see something you like and want to see that in yourself. [Read: Why inner beauty is far more important than outer beauty]

A girl who is the epitome of perfection in every way *if she does exist* won’t be awed by anyone else. On the other hand, everywhere she goes, she’d be the girl that would receive compliments, stares and awed jaws!

So change often, become the dream girl you fantasize about in your head, and be the girl you really want to be. And life will turn out to be so much better for you, be it about men, work, friends or anything else.

It’s easy to push a thought away and assume it’s wrong to be feminine or assume it’s a bad thing to change. But trust me, change is good. And change is inevitable. So you’re going to change whether you like it or not. And you have a choice to become a better you, or a worse you. [Read: 10 ways to achieve perfection in every step you take]

The last word about the science of attraction between the sexes

We’re all animals, and you shouldn’t forget that. We may be wearing pants or walking on two feet, but that doesn’t change our primal instincts. We still chase each other and woo each other just like the animals in the wild. [Read: 23 must-know relationship advice for women]

The male and female sexes still play games to win each other’s affection. Human males still like to woo a female through their display of brute strength, dexterity or their sheer awesomeness. And a man laden with male hormones wants a woman who’s graceful and feminine, because subconsciously, it makes him feel more like a man.

You don’t have to pretend to be dumb or weak, nor do you have to behave like the weaker sex just to attract a man. All you need to do is revel in your femininity and display your cuteness, and give the man you like a chance to bask in his manliness and show off his protectiveness!

18 physical turn ons that arouse a guy instantly

For a guy, physical appearances matter a lot when it comes to getting aroused. But appearances and assets by themselves don’t arouse a guy. It’s what you do with what you have that makes all the difference.

There are a few physical turn ons for guys that are simply irresistible. And these are the kind that drive him crazy and make him want to push himself against a wall because he can’t help himself. And even if he isn’t hard yet, his imagination would be racing with fantasies of all the things he’d want to do to you if he could.

Check out these 18 physical turn ons that turn a man from a respectable gentleman to a primate in heat in no time!

#1 The lingering kiss. If you want a turn a guy on while saying goodbye to him, just try this. Give him a goodbye hug, and as you kiss his cheek, let your kiss linger just a second longer than normal. You’ll definitely leave him visualizing the kiss in his mind and wishing he could get some more. [Read: 6 naughty ways to accidentally kiss a friend and get away with it]

#2 Pressure on his lap. When you’re sitting next to a guy, and he’s showing you something on his tablet or in his book while it’s on his lap, use your finger to point out something in the book without taking the book away from him.

He’d definitely feel the pressure of your fingers pressing down on his manhood or his thighs, and that’ll get his imagination racing. And if you’re pretending to be innocent and unaware, it’ll make him feel all the more aroused. [Read: 16 signs you're a sex kitten and loving it!]

#3 The kissing whisper. Pretend like you have a secret to say to him, and cup your hands over his ears. As you whisper something to him softly, make sure your lips touch his ear lobes a few times. As long as you whisper softly without tickling him, he’ll feel helplessly aroused instantly.

#4 The flash of skin. A flash of skin is sexy because it’s unexpected and taboo. Every guy knows he needs to look away if a girl accidentally shows off more than she intends to, but the sight would be too turning on for him to look away. You could show off a bit of skin while bending over or when you’re wearing a skirt. It always works and it always gets a guy’s attention.

#5 Tattoos. Tattoos in strategic regions are a huge turn on for every guy because it gets his imagination running wild. It’s especially sexy if he can see a bit of the tattoo, but not all of it. [Read: 12 bad girl traits every guy wants in his girlfriend]

#6 Midriff and lower back. There’s something really arousing when a bit of midriff or the lower back peeks out of a tee shirt like it was unintentional. And if you have strong oblique muscles and a shaped lower back, the v lines that stick out would make it hard for any guy to take his eyes off it.

#7 Well fitting clothes. A well fitting top or a pair of hugging jeans accentuates your body without revealing anything. And as long as you look fit, his imagination will do all the work. [Read: 15 real life tips to look a lot sexier naked!]

#8 Accidental grazes. If a guy grazes your boobs or your butt accidentally, he can’t help but recollect the moment and get turned on by it. If you want to seduce a guy, make sure he *accidentally* gets to brush past your body now and then, be it while hugging him, while standing in an elevator, or even while pointing out something to him. [Read: 20 sexy questions to ask a guy and seduce him]

#9 The downblouse. Even the most respectable guy can’t look away when an attractive girl bends down in front of him to pick something up, especially if he can sneak a peek of her cleavage. And it’s a definite turn on for all guys.

#10 Triangle thigh gap. The triangle thigh gap is the little triangle that forms between the thighs, and it’s extremely noticeable when you wear a pair of well fitting jeans. If a guy who’s flirting with you sees this triangle between your legs when you walk up to him or walk away from him, all he’d want is to get in there and snuggle up.

But you need to remember this, the sexy thigh triangle is not the same as the anorexic thigh gap which spreads all the way along the length of the thigh and makes a girl look frail and skinny.

And not all girls can get the thigh triangle naturally, because it depends a lot on the body shape. The curvier the body and the wider the hips, the easier it is to have the triangle thigh gap. So if you don’t have it, don’t fret it because there are so many other things that matter too! [Read: Why inner beauty and confidence play a bigger part than outer beauty]

#11 Your boobs. Every guy is aroused by a good looking pair of jugs. And if you want to turn a guy on, remember that you get bonus points for stiff nipples or not wearing a bra! [Read: Why are men so crazy about breasts?]

#12 A round butt that’s lifted up. Did your fitness instructor ever tell you that you need to do your butt lifts? Well, if you’ve been listening to him, you’d definitely turn a guy on as you walk past him. Butts are sexy, and just as impressive as boobs to a guy. And a sexy round butt just makes a guy want to lift you up by holding your butt!

#13 Brushing arms. When you’re sitting close to a guy, make sure your arms are accidentally touching his. Brushing your arm or feet against his is a subtle and yet subconscious way of letting him know that you want him.

And it’ll turn him on and make him desire you even if he doesn’t realize that you’re the one who’s subconsciously making the first move. It’s a subtle, delicate art of flirting and arousing a guy without ever making it obvious. [Read: The art of flirting and arousing by touch]

#14 Intense eye contact. Stare at the guy you like for a second or two from across the room, and let him know you want him. As long as it’s mischievous and flirty, it’ll make his heart race in seconds. [Read: How to get a guy’s attention in any circumstance]

#15 Hair. A girl’s hair is an extremely sensual asset. You can do so many things with it to turn a guy on and attract him. You can run your hands through its length to look sexy, or you can twiddle the strands at the side of your face to act flirty and coy at the same time.

#16 A tease. Every guy is turned on by a tease. Walk right up to the guy while staring at him, but instead of talking to him, just say ‘excuse me’ and walk right past him with a teasing smile. And as you pass him, stare into his eyes, smile and say ‘thank you’. It’ll boost his ego, and make you irresistible to him! [Read: 16 lusty signs of sexual attraction between a guy and a girl]

#17 Long legs. If you want to turn a guy on, accentuate your legs by wearing heels. But even if you’re not comfortable with heels, well fitting clothes and skirts work its magic just as well. A good pair of feminine legs are something that always catch a guy’s eye, even when you’re walking away from him.

#18 Her curves. The hourglass figure is an irresistible asset that all guys admire in a girl. After all, wider hips in a woman is an evolutionary sign which instinctively tells a man that she’s attained puberty and is ready to procreate. Accentuate your curves and let it be see, and the guys will definitely be turned on by it.

25 things girls do that guys find sexy and attractive

Use these little details that guys find sexy and attractive about you to woo the guy you like and get his attention in no time. [Read: 18 ways to look pretty and catch his eye instantly]

#1 Your confidence. Guys find a girl’s confidence an extremely sexy trait. The way you carry yourself around a guy or the way you talk to him confidently plays a big part in how much you awe him.

#2 Your high heels. High heels have a way of making your legs look longer and more attractive. And if you walk past a guy wearing one, he won’t be able to stop his eyes from wandering from your feet all the way to your face.

#3 Your adventurous streak. Guys love a girl who likes having fun. Are you too uptight and timid? Let your hair down and have fun now and then.

#4 Curves. This is evolutionary and a guy just can’t resist staring at a girl who’s got the right curves in all the right places. If you’ve got the curves, wear well fitting clothes that accentuate them and you’ll see how easy it can be to get a guy’s attention. [Read: How to get a guy to notice you and fall for you]

#5 When you glance at him. If you like a guy or are trying to get his attention, don’t just look away or stare blatantly at him. You may get his attention, but he’ll be bored soon. Instead, learn to look at him the right way. Entice him with your eyes, make his heart skip a beat, and he’ll fall harder and faster than you think.

#6 High energy.  Guys are easily impressed by playful girls with a high energy level. When you display the childish streak in you, by throwing a tantrum, yelling or screaming excitedly for the smallest of things, a guy may cover his ears, but on the inside, he’d still find you endearing and lovable.

#7 Intelligence. If you’re smart, show it off. You don’t need to dumb yourself down to impress a guy, even if most guys say they’d feel intimidated to date a girl who’s a know it all. As long as you don’t get a rush stomping dumb guys under your heels, your intelligence will always be a turn on for guys. [Read: Should a girl ever dumb it down while impressing a guy?]

#8 Sense of humor. You don’t need to be a clown or a standup comedian to have a sense of humor. Just enjoy the little things and have a positive attitude towards life.

#9 Respect yourself. Self respect plays a big part in a girl’s attractiveness. If you don’t respect yourself, guys will unintentionally take you for granted or treat you like a doormat and walk all over you. And even if you try to get a guy’s attention, he may just find you too easy to get and may even ask you to introduce you to your sexy friend who’s teasing him instead of trying to open doors for him! [Read: How self respect affects the relationships you have]

#10 Your laugh and your smile. Smile, and you can easily light up a guy’s mind with it! Guys are suckers for girly laughter and sweet smiles. Smile often, be cheerful and the world will find you a lot more attractive.

#11 Mysteriousness. Mysteriousness is sexy. And guys are always drawn towards girls who can’t be read like an open book. Don’t reveal everything about yourself all at once to a guy just to impress him faster, because it won’t work. [Read: 12 bad girl traits all guys want in their girlfriend]

#12 When you stretch. Even the most respectable guys would have a hard time taking their eyes off a girl who’s showing off a bit of skin *accidentally*. If you want to catch a guy’s eye, just look around lazily, stretch your arms in the air like you’re bored and reveal just a bit of your midriff. [Read: 30 subtle, obvious and sexy flirting moves for girls]

#13 Your hair. Your hair can be one of your biggest assets when it comes to attracting a guy. Play with your hair or run your hands through it, or move your long locks from one shoulder to the other with your hands to reveal your neck while making eye contact with a guy.

#14 Order a man’s drink. It’s almost irresistible for a guy to hold a big grin back when he sees a cute girl order a guy’s drink and carry it well. And you’d definitely awe him too!

#15 Attire that makes his imagination run. One of the things guys find sexy and attractive about a girl is her attire, especially when she’s wearing something that isn’t very revealing, but yet on the verge of revealing a lot! Wear anything that seems like it’ll slip off your shoulders or your body, or something that reveals a trace of your lingerie and you’ll see the magic work. [Read: 20 things that sexually excite a guy when he sees a girl]

#16 A strap between your boobs. Do you carry a bag or a purse with a long strap? Position your purse strap in between your breasts and let the bag drop to one side of your body. It just makes you look a lot cuter, and sexier too!

#17 Hand hearts across the room. Are you the girly girl who loves gesturing signs from across the room or while snapping pictures? Many guys love girls who behave in a cute way. Use the inverted hand heart gesture in front of a manly guy, and you’ll see him melt like butter.

#18 Flying kisses. Flying kisses can seem snobby when it’s not followed by another gesture. But it definitely looks attractive when you send a flying kiss from across the room, and wrinkle your nose, and smile or wink at the guy. [Read: 25 ways to look cute and melt a guy’s heart]

#19 Touchy flirting. Walk up from behind the guy and slide your arm in between his elbow and his body, and give him a nudge with your shoulder or cling to his arm.

#20 Reading glasses. Guys find girls who occasionally wear reading glasses really sexy. It looks particularly cute when the girl wears glasses and wears her hair high, in a pony tail or a bun.

#21 A group of girls. If you want to catch a guy’s eye while appearing busy at the same time, hang out with another friend of yours or with a group of your girlfriends. Guys can’t take their eyes off a group of girls, especially when you and your friends get excited and scream, or clutch each other’s arms while doing something together. [Read: 9 sneaky ways to get a guy to ask you out using your friends]

#22 When you say ‘please’. When you walk past a guy or ask him to step aside, say ‘please’ and follow that up with a ‘thank you’ while making eye contact. It seems casual, but it’ll still make that guy want to get to know you better or at least get to know your name. [Read: 12 easy ways to make a guy like you by making him want you!]

#23 Eating something. Guys find it very cute when a girl’s eating something like ice cream or a cupcake. It’s even cuter if you drop a bit of food and clumsily try wiping it off your shirt. And it’s way sexier if you’re eating something big and long!

#24 Blush. Guys feel great when a girl indulges in a conversation with them. The way a girl talks while coyly flirting back is hot. And if you blush and look away when he compliments you, well, you’ve just made his day.

#25 When a girl asks for help. If you want to get a guy’s attention and stroke his ego at the same time, ask him for help! Asking a guy for help makes him feel more like a man, because men intuitively feel manlier when a girl behaves like a damsel in distress and asks for help. It could be something simple, like asking for a pen or to reach out for something or to open something. [Read: Why men find damsels in distress so irresistible]

Are you driving men away because you’re turning them off unintentionally? Find out what makes a guy cringe with these 11 dating turn offs for guys. By Keith Brown

dating turn offs for guys

First impressions play a big part when you’re trying to win a guy’s affection.

Of course, if you know how to bat your eyelids or smile just the right way, you’d be able to get his attention in no time.

[Read: 10 easy ways to get a guy to notice you and fall for you!]

But while a first impression would get him to notice you, it still takes a few conversations and dates to get him to fall head over heels in love with you.

The little things that turn men off in a big way

Have you ever experienced a time where you got a guy’s attention, but he didn’t respond well to you after the first date?

Or have you met a guy who seemed completely smitten by you, and all of a sudden, he starts losing interest in you or avoids you after a few conversations?

In all probability, you may be doing a few things that are driving the men who like you away from you.

[Read: 12 stereotypes of girls in a guy’s mind and where he may be placing you]

Men start fancying a girl at first sight.

But it takes a while for them to fall in love with you.

And if you turn them off with your behavior within the first few dates, most guys would start distancing themselves from you, or start treating you like their friend in no time. [Read: How men fall in love – The 7 stages of love for men]

The 11 biggest dating turn offs for men

If you’re on a date with a guy, or having a conversation at a cafeteria with a crush of yours, just keep these 11 dating turn offs for guys in mind.

You may not realize it, but you may be indulging in these turn offs without even realizing it yourself!

#1 Narcissism. Being proud of who you are, your achievements and your appearance is always a good thing. But there’s a thin line between a girl who knows how good she is and a vain peacock. [Read: 25 things guys find sexy and irresistible about a girl]

Do you unknowingly constantly talk only about yourself even if the guy tries to say something about his own life? Or do you constantly compare anything a guy brags about to something you’re experiencing yourself? You may think you’re connecting better with him by appearing like a know it all, but your ability to turn anything a guy says into your personal story could come off as arrogance instead of a charming ‘me too’ story!

#2 Controlling or dominating personality. Do you try to control everything a guy does when he’s around you? If he’s holding his chopsticks in a way you don’t approve of, do you feel the impulsive need to correct him? If it’s an occasional thing you do, that’s completely acceptable.

But if you find yourself constantly controlling or dominating a guy over everything he does or says when he’s with you, be it about his grammar, the places to go to, or your idea of what a good vacation spot is, he’s going to feel deflated and angry very soon. [Read: 20 glaring signs you have a control freak in you!]

#3 Yes or no answers. Are you the kind of shy girl who doesn’t converse and prefer to sit quietly during a date? A guy may be smitten enough by you to overlook this trait of yours initially. But if you just answer every question of his with monosyllables, or avoid asking him any questions back in return, it’s definitely a dating turn off that’ll annoy him or make him assume you’re not interested in getting to know him better. [Read: How to use your shy attitude to your advantage and get any guy]

#4 Poor social etiquette. This is more than just a turn off, poor social etiquette or bad manners can make a guy feel disappointed and upset by your behavior. Do you take ages to text a guy back to confirm about a date? Or do you excuse yourself to talk to someone you bumped into during your date, and leave the guy alone at the table for several minutes?

Poor social etiquette consists of so many things, like cutting a guy off in mid sentence when he’s saying something, being loud or rude to waiters, ordering a salad and stealing food from the guy’s plate like it’s your birthright to do so, or laughing like a shrieking witch because something’s so darn funny!

These may seem like little things that no one notices, but trust me, these *little things*, well, they’re way more obvious and annoying that you think! [Read: 10 things girls should never say to guys ever!]

#5 Unkind attitude. Let’s get this straight. Guys view kindness as one of the biggest attractive traits about a girl. If you’re kind and sweet to others, be it people you know or strangers on a street, it’ll make a guy’s heart melt just a little more.

On the other hand, if you’re rude or too aloof, or lift your nose up and behave like most people on the street are beneath you, he may endure the date, but he won’t call you back.

#6 Baby talking. Baby talking with a guy or coddling him may be acceptable if you’re already in a relationship with him. But if you’re on the first few dates, talking like an infant, well, it is definitely one of the fastest ways to turn a guy off.

A guy may think you’re being cute if you act girly and sweet, but mouthing words like a baby that’s still learning to talk will only make him cringe. For baby talking to work, there needs to be an intimate bond between the guy and the girl. If you’re still getting to know each other, avoid talking like a baby. It won’t turn him on, and you won’t look sweeter doing it! [Read: 18 ways to be sweet and pretty on a date]

#7 Complaining attitude. When you’re talking to a guy whose attention you want, avoid putting him down or complaining about the things he does. Guys hate girls who pretend they’re high maintenance and act bitchy, and whine about everything the guy does, just to appear like they’re high class and sophisticated. [Read: 15 signs you have a high maintenance woman in you!]

#8 Self criticism. Are you the kind of girl who constantly puts herself down, just so others can pull you up again? Do you spend an hour making sure you look perfect, and then criticize yourself in front of a guy by telling him that you think you look really ugly?

This is an attention seeker’s way of trying to get attention and flattery. Getting a guy to acknowledge just how awesome you are by tricking him or constantly criticizing yourself in the hope of getting pampered by him would just leave him annoyed. Guys aren’t dumb and they can see through this kind of attention seeking behavior. And they’d want to stay away from drama queens who just love all the attention they can get. [Read: 16 attention whore signs to watch out for]

#9 Distractions. A girl who’s distracted on a date is a big put off for any guy. If the guy takes the time to plan a date, and looks forward to spending time with just you, show some respect by giving him your attention during the date.

Don’t spend all your time on phone calls, or lost in your own thoughts even when he’s talking. If you say something like “…I’m sorry, what were you saying…?” more than a few times on a date, the guy will definitely leave the date pissed off!

#10 Taking his chivalry for granted. If a guy behaves like a gentleman on a date and treats you respectfully by being chivalrous, don’t take it for granted. Don’t walk past a door he’s holding open for you like it was his duty to hold the door open.

If a guy displays his chivalrous side, acknowledge it with a smile or a ‘thank you’. Behaving like he’s your servant who’s only doing what he’s supposed to do won’t put you in his good books. [Read: 14 subtle first date mistakes many girls make unknowingly!]

#11 Getting too serious too soon. This is a big mistake many girls indulge in, without realizing it at all. If both of you go on a first date, don’t behave like you’re in a relationship already just because you’re having a nice time. You’ll just end up scaring the guy away.

Don’t get home from your first date and immediately change your relationship status on Facebook. And don’t start calling him frequently and expect him to talk for hours about his life and his future because he told you he likes you and wants to see you again for a second date! [Read: 13 oh-so-awesome ways to impress any guy you want!]

Keep these dating turn offs in mind when you’re on a date with a guy, but more importantly, remember that anything you do may be considered sweet initially. It’s only when you overdo something that the guy would want to back away from you.

It’s just like touching a guy on a first date. If you clasp his palm for the first time, he’d feel a tingle of excitement that’ll make him like you more. But if you pull his cheeks or throw yourself at him all through the date, it would only make him want to run away from you!

[Read: The dating girl code all girls definitely should know!]

Avoid these 11 biggest dating turn offs for guys, and avoid crossing the thin line separating crazy and cute at any point of time when you’re talking to a guy. Do that, and you’d be well on your way to making a great impression on him.

things guys like in a girl beside appearance

Appearances play a big part in physical attraction.

Your looks are almost always one of the first things a guy would notice about you.

Well, of course, some guys would even claim that they look at a girl’s face, boobs and butt before they look for anything else.

[Read: 25 things guys find irresistible and attractive about a girl at first sight!]

If you’ve got a great physique and looks to match, you’ll definitely get any guy’s attention.

But here’s the thing, your looks could get a guy’s attention for a few seconds, but that’s all the advantage you can get with appearances!

Things guys notice in a girl beyond looks

If you want a catch a guy’s eye beyond just mere appearances, and get him interested in you even though there are several girls around you, all you need to focus on are the little things that always draws a guy.

[Read: How to get a guy to notice you and fall for you]

If you play your cards right, you’d be able to grab any guy’s attention and get him to notice you within seconds, and make him fall for you in minutes!

12 things guys like in a girl besides her appearance

You don’t really need to focus a lot on appearances, but then again, having a great body and a cute face will only make the game of attracting guys a lot easier for you. [Read: 18 ways to look pretty and sweet, and catch any guy’s eye]

But beyond physical attraction, keep these 12 perfect girl traits in mind. As long as you use these things to your advantage, you’ll surely catch all the eyes you want to catch in no time!

#1 Femininity. Femininity is the greatest asset of every girl. And it’s a trait that no masculine guy can resist. Contrary to the belief of many girls, don’t ever assume that displaying your femininity is a sign of weakness or the weaker sex. You can be feminine and girly, and still in control of every situation. [Read: How to use your femininity and attract guys in a way they can never resist!]

#2 Playfulness. In every successful relationship, playfulness is a trait that plays a big part in it. Be a happy and fun loving girl who’s alive and the center of attention in her world. Guys love a girl who is playful and cheerful. And they absolutely hate girls who are constantly stressed or unhappy and depressed. Laugh, have a sense of humor and tease the guy you like. He’ll be smitten by you in no time!

#3 Expressions. A pretty face is blank and meaningless without its expressions. Make eye contact with the guy as you talk to him. Smile mischievously when you say something naughty, roll your eyes when he acts like an idiot, and smile genuinely when you’re talking to him. The way you smile, use your eyes and your voice to express yourself will leave him mesmerized by you.

Just think of Rachel McAdams and the way she uses her voice and her expressions while talking. She’s cute, funny and oh-so-sexy, isn’t she? [Read: 25 ways to look cute and melt a guy’s heart immediately]

#4 Self esteem. Fall in love with who you are, and respect yourself for the person you are. Self respect and self worth play a big part in your attitude towards the world, and the way the world sees you. Focus on your talents and trust your intuition. Don’t change who you are, unless you think you can be a better person. Believe in yourself, and you won’t put yourself down in front of a guy just to impress him.

#5 Intelligence. Men who are secure about themselves *the only kind of guys you should date!* don’t feel threatened by a woman who’s intelligent and aware of the world. In fact, guys love a girl who can have an intelligent conversation with them about worldly affairs.

You can look pretty and catch his eye, but if you can’t hold onto a conversation with him, he’d just look at you as his arm candy and not someone he can fall in love with. But you need to keep this in mind, use your intelligence in a cooperative manner, not in a competitive way or that would just lead to ego clashes and angry confrontations. [Read: Should a girl ever dumb down to impress a guy?]

#6 Self reliance. Guys want to feel like the protectors, and they want to take care of their woman. It’s what evolution has taught them. When you make a guy feel like you need him, he falls more in love with you. But at the same time, there’s a thin line between making him feel wanted and coming across as a clingy girlfriend.

Be independent and in control of your own life. Ask a guy for help when he’s around, but when you’re on your own, let this guy see that you’re capable of running your own life without his help. It’ll draw him closer to you and make him want to be more involved in your life. [Read: 15 sweet ways to make a guy feel needed and wanted]

#7 Confidence. Your confidence shows off who you are, and just how much you control your own life. If you want to impress a guy, let him see you as a girl who truly knows just how good she is. Don’t be a doormat or accept anything he says just to please him.

#8 Your attitude. Guys are instantly attracted to kindness. And beyond mere physical traits, how kind and considerate a girl is plays a big part in the game of attraction. Do you consider yourself to be a kind person, or one who’s opinionated and arrogant? If the world sees you as arrogant, perhaps it’s time you let them see your kinder side. The world will love you for it. [Read: 15 tips to be a kind girl who’s loved by all instantly]

#9 Fragrance. This is a sneaky little tip that can work wonders for you. Smell great around the guy you’re trying to impress. Each time he gets a waft of your fragrance as you walk past him or move your hands while gesticulating something, he’ll feel just a little weaker, and a lot more attracted to you! [Read: 13 sneaky and oh-so-awesome ways to impress a guy]

#10 Inner beauty. You may think a guy falls in love with a girl based on her physical appearances. But truth be told, he falls in love with the projection of what the girl feels about herself. The glow of sex appeal and beauty comes from within. If you don’t feel pretty when you look into the mirror, how can you expect others to find you attractive? It only takes a minute or less for inner beauty to kick in and work its magic when you’re talking to a guy.

While talking to some guy for the first time, did it ever feel like he was more attractive than you initially thought as soon as you started talking to him? Or on the other hand, have you spoken to a guy who seemed like he was really good looking until you started talking to him, and he started to progressively get worse looking until you just weren’t interested in talking to him anymore? That’s inner beauty, and it’s something everyone notices in you even if you don’t see it yourself. [Read: Why is inner beauty so important to look attractive?]

#11 Healthy glow. Girls with that healthy, glowing skin always look more attractive than all the other girls, even if they don’t have a perfect figure. Eat healthy and try to keep yourself stress free, and look after your skin. And most importantly, work out. Sweating during a regular workout will give your skin a more flushed and radiant appearance. And it’ll work wonders when you’re staring at a guy from across the room. [Read: The dating girl code all girls need to know]

#12 Zest for life. Do you love life? Do you think you’re spontaneous and alive? Guys love a girl who’s full of boundless energy and always ready for a new adventure. If a guy stares at a group of girls, the first one that catches his eye and interests him is the one who is energetic and fun. Doesn’t that mean something?! [Read: 30 subtle, obvious and naughty flirting tips for girls]

[Read: 25 compliments for guys they'll never ever forget!]

Physical attractiveness definitely does play a part in attraction. But if you want to hold his attention beyond the first glance, keep these 12 things guys like in a girl besides her appearance in mind. It’ll definitely do more than just get you a second glance!

Wondering why you aren’t getting hit on as much as you’d like? Use these tips and tricks to appear approachable to men without coming off as too easy! By Keith Brown

how to be more approachable to guys

Contrary to what you may think, getting hit on or appearing approachable to men isn’t really a game of chance where you just have to wait it out.

And contrary to what most women think, you don’t have to do something outrageous or provocative to get a guy to walk up to you and say hello!

The truth is, if you understand a guy’s mind and what goes on in it before he approaches a girl, you could make any guy want to strike up a conversation with you within five minutes of stepping into a place!

[Read: 20 secret things about guys that all guys wish girls would know]

How to be more approachable to guys without appearing easy

Do you ever feel like you could do with more attention from the guys around you, especially when you walk into a new place or a regular hangout and see a cute guy who’s definitely worth a shot?

Here are a few things you need to keep in mind if you want to win the edge over all other girls in the room, and catch a guy’s eye.

[Read: 18 tips to make any girl look pretty and catch a guy’s eye instantly]

#1 Look good! As shallow as this may sound, this is as simple as it can get. To a guy, approaching a girl is all about first appearances. When a guy walks into a room, it takes him less than a few glances to make up his mind on whether he wants to approach a girl or not.

If you dress up well and look good, it just makes everything all the more easier for you! [Read: 25 really easy ways to make yourself cuter and melt a guy’s heart at first glance!]

#2 Don’t appear occupied. Don’t be too engrossed with your phone or a book, or something else. You may be bored and trying to keep yourself busy, but chances are, doing that will make the guy who wants to approach you back away because you appear too busy to be interested in a conversation with him.

Are you out of his league?

Now this goes against the first tip on looking good, but there’s also a drawback of looking too good for the guy! If you’re a stunner who looks gorgeous, all the guys around you may drool at you or try to sneak glances at you all the time, but most guys would feel too intimidated to approach you.

If there’s one thing guys fear more than anything else while approaching women, it’s the fear of rejection or worse, humiliation! Most guys may just assume you’re way above their league and they’re not worthy of your attention. Simply put, if you look very attractive, you’ll scare most guys away! [A good looking girl's confession: Are we really so mean?]

But then again, on the other hand, the only guys who feel confident enough to approach you would be the guys who think they’re worthy of you *the alpha males, the achievers, and of course, the players!*.

If you really want to catch the eye of a shy guy who seems nice but is too scared to approach you, try being friendly and warm to the people around you. It always helps! [Read: 12 ways to get a shy guy to approach you and ask you out]

13 tips to be more approachable to men

So you want to catch a guy’s eye and make him walk up to you? Just use these 13 easy tips, and you’ll see that getting a guy to approach you and start a conversation with you can be one of the easiest things to do.

#1 The way you dress. Don’t dress up like you have nothing to hide. You’ll get everyone’s attention alright, but the only guys who would approach you are the ones who are looking for a quick one night stand. Of course, dressing provocatively would definitely help catch a nice guy’s eye, but only if your look is sensual and not blatantly sexual.

Remember, you don’t have to flaunt everything you have to catch a guy’s eye. If you’re interesting and look pretty, you’ll catch his eye nevertheless! [Read: 12 physical turn offs in a girl that all guys hate]

#2 Eye contact. Glance at him now and then, and make eye contact occasionally. But at the same time, don’t get too carried away and try to catch his eye all the time. He may just think you’re too easy and not care.

#3 The quick and slow look away. There are two ways to look at a guy and let him know you’re interested. And you can use them both depending on what feels comfortable for you.

The slow glance. When you’re glancing across the room, look towards him casually and make eye contact with him for a few seconds with a small smile. And then, slowly turn your head away and look towards something else. This is a more confident and bolder way of letting the guy know you’re interested.

The quick glance. And for the quick and coy approach, you could look towards him suddenly when he’s staring towards you, catch his eye, and immediately look at a friend or look down in an obvious manner. Smiling to yourself at that moment will only make you appear more cuter and sweeter in his eyes! [Read: 12 subtle eye contact flirting tips to get his heart racing!]

#4 Make it easy for him. It’s intimidating for a guy to approach a girl when she’s with a big group of friends. If your idea is to meet guys or get approached by them, try to spend time alone or probably with another girl friend.

#5 The right kind of places. Not all places create the perfect scenario for casual conversations. If you want a guy to approach you, pick a place that’s perfect for casual conversations where everyone in the room won’t turn their heads around to see what’s happening. Coffee shops, clubs, or book stores are perfect places with limitless opportunities for a guy to start a conversation with you.

#5 Give him opportunities to talk to you. Even if you’re in a group and you see a guy you like, make eye contact with him a few times. And when you feel like he’s ready to talk to you, walk away for a few minutes to look around or to order a drink at the bar by yourself.

#6 Smile. Appear warm and friendly, and your chances of getting approached by guys would rise multifold. Being likeable at first sight can be a huge advantage to any girl who wants to catch a guy’s eye! [Read: How to get anyone to like you at first sight]

#7 Don’t be bored. Have fun and be positive no matter where you are. Positivity draws positivity. And a happy girl draws happy guys who love their life. If you’re grumpy or appear stiff or bored, even a guy who really likes you may think twice about approaching you because you may seem boring and dull. [Read: 12 things guys love in a girl besides her appearance]

#8 Don’t be rude. If you’re rude to anyone, be it a waiter or one of your friends, odds are, the guy who wants to approach you would back away immediately. No one likes rude people, and no guy would want to strike a conversation with a girl who may snap at him or insult him for approaching her!

Been in and out of relationships for the better part of your life and still guessing what men want in a woman? Find the answers in our foolproof guide! By Lianne Choo

What men want in a woman

I know what you must be thinking. How would a woman know what a man wants and needs in a partner? What makes her think she can help me?

These questions and more are probably running like crazy through your head while you read this. Women all over the world are tired of getting dumped because the men they were with cannot figure out what the heck they want and need out of a partner.

Women look at men as simple creatures but many have learned the hard way *myself included* that they are far more complex than we ever imagined them to be. [Read: 12 typical stereotypes of women that men create in their mind]

To address your concerns listed above, I do not pretend to be an expert on the topic. I have not studied the mythical creature that is man and neither have I written my thesis on what they want and need.

Furthermore, I certainly have not lived as a man to know what goes on in their heads. My only credentials are that I have been with the same man for six years now and have amassed enough life experience to know what he wants and needs *for now at least*.

14 insights into what men want and need in a woman

In any case, do not pay too much attention to me because all the tips listed below were garnered from men anyway, so you can be sure of their legitimacy. Keep in mind that these pearls of wisdom are not from random men plucked off the street. These are men who have been in long term relationships for up to seven years and who are comfortable with speaking their minds. These six men know for a fact what they want and need in a partner. [Read: 12 very effective tips to have a long term relationship that lasts forever!]

By sitting down with them and weaseling out these tips, I have made life just a tiny bit simpler for all you women out there who are reading this. Hopefully, it will no longer be a great mystery to figure out what men want and need in a partner. Here are 14 general yet helpful things to keep in mind the next time your man stumps you.

#1 A confident woman. Nothing is sexier to a man than having a confident woman on his arm. Whether it is wearing something out of this world with total confidence or engaging in a debate on liberal issues in a room full of conservatives, a woman with confidence is what a man wants and needs in a partner.

It does not matter what you look like, what your dress size is or whether your hair has more flyaways than you would like, but if you can exude enough confidence and be happy with yourself, he will be attracted to you like a moth to a flame. You may think otherwise but when men set out seeking a mate, they look for things that are more than skin deep.

#2 An independent woman. An article that appeared in the Huffington Post touched on the subject of what men want in a wife. According to the piece, “Researchers have found that men today want more than a woman whose talents include looking beautiful and nothing more.” The article then goes on to say that, “A German study that surveyed 2,000 men over three years found that 76 percent of them would not accept a partner who didn’t have a job, and 45 percent said they want a woman who earned lots of money herself.”

There you have it, ladies. The days of men wanting an air-headed trophy wife are long gone. Men today want an independent woman who can hold her own weight, both socially and financially.

#3 Zero mind games. Like you and me, men hate mind games and do not appreciate being manipulated. Whether it is playing your man into moving in together or pressuring him to tie the knot even though you know he is not ready, men are truly not as dumb as you think. They know when you are manipulating them and the reason they allow it to happen is because they are simply on the same page as you are. Do not chalk it up as you being successful in convincing him to give you a key to his place.

There is no need to remind him or pressure him into taking the relationship to the next level. He knows what he wants and he let you win because he wants the same thing. However, you have to realize that your luck will eventually run out and the more often you try to play him, the closer you are to getting dumped. [Read: 12 subtle signs you’re being manipulated by your lover!]

#4 Loyalty. If there is one thing that we can all agree on, it is that loyalty is very important to both men and women. Although women always say that men are the cheaters, remember that women cheat too. The same way you will not tolerate your man getting jiggy with someone else, he will not accept you cheating on him. Fidelity is very important to men and they need to know that you are not going to hurt them. If you are loyal, you can be sure that it is definitely one of the many qualities that he wants and needs in a partner. [Read: Why do men cheat? – 3 big reasons and 27 little ones!]

#5 Strokes his ego. Men have huge egos and this is something that you should know by now. As humble and modest as your man may be, you can rest assured that there is still some egoism in him. Stroke his ego as often as you can and let him know that he is wonderful.

Men need a partner who can give them assurance that what they’re doing is the right thing, or at the very least, worthwhile. For example, if your man is worried about a huge work-related presentation, stroke his ego by saying something like, “You know who you are and what you can do. I have seen it for myself. You are great and are going to ace this.” [Read: 15 ways to convince a guy that you want and need him]

#6 A kind heart. No man wants to be saddled with a bitch for the rest of his life. No matter how great you are in bed, if you are a complete she-devil, he is going to pick the kind girl over you any day. Having a kind heart is important to men, especially when they are ready to settle down with a life partner.

Whether it is the joy you find in volunteering at the local animal shelter or always buying a loaf of bread for the homeless man who lives on the corner of your block, men notice and remember these little acts of kindness and are very attracted to them. [Read: 35 not-so-obvious things about you that your guy really, really loves!]

#7 No gold diggers. Unless you have the sheer luck of dating someone who is rolling in dough and has more than enough to share his fortune with India, no man wants to be with a woman who is with him solely for his money. If you are a gold digger or have cruel intentions to spend whatever you can get your hands on, you can be sure that you are going to get the boot soon. Men want a partner who can appreciate the value of money.

#8 A healthy mind and body. Proving that you can look after yourself is a very sexy trait indeed. Men love it when you not only look good but feel good as well. A healthy woman has curves that can make a man moan just thinking of them. When you put effort into exercising, eating right and staying healthy, your man will appreciate it more than if you were to let yourself go or if you were to starve yourself silly. The same way you would love to have a healthy man in your life, he wants the same from you.

#9 An intelligent mind. The whole Stepford Wife ideology is a thing of the past. Men do not want or need a pretty face who cannot partake in intelligent conversation. As gorgeous as you may be, if you are a dud, he will not want to be with you in the long run.

Men know that one day your looks will go and all he is going to be left with is a woman who has long since lived out her glory years. Your looks may be what captivate him but your intelligence is what will make him stay. As hard as it may be for you to believe, men like a woman with brains.

#10 Partner in crime. Men want and need a partner in crime. They want someone whom they can have fun with. Whether it is spending a weekend by the ocean basking in the sun and scuba diving, or just giving him input on his latest manuscript, you have to remember that men want a partner, not just a hole to stick it in.

You have to think of your relationship as a team. If one person does not carry his or her weight, then the team will lose. Unlike some women who can only seem to focus on the present, men surprisingly think of what is going to happen in the future. Having a woman whom they can have fun with and be themselves with ranks very high on the list of what men want and need.

#11 Acceptance towards his flaws. Never try to change a man because you will fail. Have you never heard the saying, “People change but they don’t change much”? Well, keep that in mind the next time you try to mold your man into the ideal creature. Like women, men have flaws and hate being reminded that they are not living up to your expectations.

Accept and embrace his flaws and you will find that he will unconsciously make an effort to please you. Whether it is leaving the toilet seat down or planning a romantic trip for two to the mountains, you will be surprised at the myriad of things that a man is capable of doing when he does not have to worry about changing who he is to please you. [Read: 14 signs you’re being too critical with your man!]

#12 Clear communication. Out of the six men whom I sat down with to garner insight into this article, all six of them were adamant that clear communication is something that they want and need. Men the world over are confused as to who put the notion into women’s heads that they do not like to communicate.

On the contrary, men love communicating freely and clearly. Do not speak to your man in riddles. Do not expect them to read between the lines. Just talk and let it all out. When you tell your man what you want and need, he will deliver but if you speak in what can only be described as a foreign language, what you’re saying will just go way over his head. [Read: How to effectively communicate with your partner]

#13 Personal space and time. As much as your man loves you, he needs his personal time and space. Long lasting marriages are the ones where the man found a partner who understands and embraces this concept. Being in a relationship is not all about spending every waking moment together.

Sometimes, it is important for each individual to have their own space and to do things that they enjoy without having to worry about boring the other person. Men love it when their partner has her own friends, passions, hobbies, job and life. Give your man the personal time and space that he needs and you will find a significant improvement in your relationship.

#14 Support and confidence in him. Basically, all men want is for you to support them through the tough times. Whether it is through a financial crisis or family drama, if you can be there in his darkest hour, he will want and need you more than ever. Contrary to popular belief, men take these traits very seriously because they know that life is not always about rainbows and roses. There will be tough times and they want and need a partner who is strong enough to be able to support them emotionally and who can shower them with the confidence to know that everything is going to be okay in the end.

[Read: 12 traits that men typically look for in their ideal woman]

At the end of the day, you have to remember that although they are men, they are still human and crave the same things that women want. If you can live your life by the mantra, “Treat others the way you want to be treated” and apply this concept to your relationship, you will find that life will be so much sweeter and that the two of you will be much happier together.

Do you think you’re single because you’re looking for eligible men in all the wrong places? Check our list to see where they’re really hanging out! By Sarah Rogers

Where to meet a guy

The dating world is no longer simple, and it’s harder than ever to meet a single man with similar interests and values. There are always guys around, but it’s difficult to find an eligible man, one that you could genuinely see yourself with in the future. Now the debate is still out whether there is just less of these men available in general, or if they are just harder to track down.

As technology devours every corner of our social lives, there seem to be fewer opportunities to connect with people in real time, face to face. But if you’re not content to settle in and wait for a good guy to sweep you off your feet, you need to proactively take the first step towards meeting someone who has real dating potential. [Read: 12 ways to get even the shyest guy to approach you]

The 33 best places to meet eligible men

If you’re looking for a place to start, take a look at our list of the 33 best places to meet eligible men!

#1 At the gym. Probably the weight room specifically! A man that knows the importance of taking care of his body probably also knows how to take care of other important people in his life, like perhaps his wife or girlfriend! So the next time you’re at the gym, ask for some help with the weights, or your cardio routine and don’t be afraid to get a little competitive!

#2 Techy stores. Most guys love technology. While us ladies tend to drop in, pick up what we need and get out, men love to browse the latest software, gadgets and other geeky things. Who’s to say you couldn’t meet an amazing guy by inquiring about the best updates for your phone?

#3 A rally or campaign. Whether for politics or for another worthy organization, you could definitely meet some passionate men at a rally or campaign. If you join up for a cause that really resonates with your own values, you’re destined to meet someone who shares similar beliefs!

#4 The farmers market. What’s better than local food and farmers? A man that knows his way around the local market along with benefits of local food. So while you’re scanning the market for your fresh produce, you could also keep a look out for a solo man who’s into the same produce.

#5 A bookstore. If you love literature why not scope out the local bookstore for an eligible guy that also loves to read? You could be interested in the same genre or something totally different. Either way, you’re bound to share the love of reading, and that could definitely start more than one conversation.

#6 Intramural sports teams. With intramural sports, you aren’t dealing with serious competitiveness, but you do still get to run around and have some fun on the field or court! You’re guaranteed to see his face during the monthly games, and might even get a little physical.

#7 Dating website. While this saves the face to face meeting for later, there are some benefits to being able to chat with someone before you meet them. You can save yourself some time, and narrow down the candidates that are worthy of a date *or not* very quickly. It’s also a great tool for introverts! [Read: 14 do’s and don’ts you need to know before meeting an online date]

#8 Grad-school coffee shop. A large percentage of grad students are male, so you could find the coffee shop they like to hang out in! Be very careful to avoid the freshmen hangout or else you will be surrounding yourself with youngsters and frat boys!

#9 A steak house. A lot of men love meat and are passionate about their steaks. If you share this love of beef, why not take a seat at the bar or community table to open up your chances of starting a conversation. It doesn’t even have to be about strip or sirloin cuts.

#10 Extreme sports. Any activity that gets the adrenaline pumping is a sure place to find a bunch of guys. Think rock climbing, crossfit or anything else that might make you feel a little daunted. It’s a perfect place to push yourself to do something new and awesome, and possibly meet a cute support system while you’re at it.

#11 A religious or spiritual institution. If you meet a man here, you know you’re going to have very similar beliefs and moral grounding. Not to mention you will see them at least once a week.

#12 Your office. While we’ve all heard the expression ‘don’t mix business with pleasure’, the office can be where we spend the most of our time. If you meet someone at the same company as you, they are probably on the same intellectual level, and you’ll definitely share some things in common. If your office is too small or thrives on drama, I would steer clear unless you find a diamond in the rough. [Read: 6 effective ways to deal with nosy coworkers]

#13 College. Only few are lucky enough to meet and stay with the man of their dreams during their college years. For the rest of us there’s always another chance with continuing studies! Take an evening class and brush up on an old skill or learn a new one. A man that’s not afraid to continue learning is definitely attractive.

#14 Friends. You’re always going to be able to rely on particular friends over others, but you should reach out to the networks you already have! You never know who might exist in your extended social circles, so ask around to find out.

#15 Vacation. People always tell you that vacation relationships will never last, but this is the 21st century! Now that airfares are lower and live video chats are increasingly common, why not give a guy you met on a vacation a chance?

#16 Parks. Take a stroll through your local park in the daytime and check out your options. A man that likes to take a break outdoors is probably in tune with his natural surroundings and that is a major plus.

#17 Art exhibits. Whether you share a love for classical or contemporary art, you are bound to meet some interesting individuals at art exhibits. While you’re admiring a particular piece, why not strike up a discussion with the single gentlemen beside you?

#18 Blood drive. Meeting someone over a donated pint of blood might seem strange. But if he’s caring enough to give to someone he’s never met, then he might be worth sharing some coffee with. If it doesn’t work out, at least you were able to help someone out.

#19 Wine tasting. If wine’s not your thing, go for beer or scotch. A shared interest in vintage wines and specialty brews makes for a great conversation starter.

#20 Running club. If you like to run, why not get fit and meet new people at the same time? Even if there are no single men in the group, you could meet new female friends that have some interesting candidates.

#21 Weddings. The common belief is that all single men at weddings just want to get laid, but that’s not always the case. Some of them are perfect gentlemen who want to find a relationship that could eventually land them in their own dream wedding.

#22 Laundromats. Doing laundry is hardly exciting, but if you have a cutie that visits the same mat as you, it could be the perfect place to start chatting with him. You obviously live in the same neighborhood, so that could be just one of the many things you have in common.

#23 Ski resorts. If you’re a veteran or a complete beginner, ski resorts offer up that romantic setting of snow and wood fires that is extremely nostalgic. If you find yourself next to a cute guy by the fire, check if he’s a regular. If he is, you might be sharing the lift with him sometime soon.

#24 Walking the dog. A simple daily task that you enjoy with your pup could become even more exciting if you find yourself talking to another dog lover.

#25 The hardware store. This is typically a man’s turf and by just being a woman, you’ll find it natural to ask that cute stranger for help. He might just be able to help you find that screw *pun unintended* that you’re looking for. [Read: 15 effective conversation starters to use on guys]

#26 Museums. Artsy guys, cultured men, and hot foreigners often take a trip to the museum. Who knows, you might meet a guy who can help you brush up on your history.

#27 Concerts. If you’re at a concert, you’re guaranteed to meet someone with the same musical taste as you. You could meet a dance partner or someone to help you get to the bathrooms without being trampled. Once the music dies down, you might end up bonding over the experience.

#28 The beach. If you see a man on the beach alone, he’s probably single. But watch out for what he’s doing. If he seems to be stalking the ladies on the beach, steer clear. But if he’s jogging, swimming or taking in the sights, then go for it. [Read: 10 ways to look sexy at the beach without looking like you’re trying too hard]

#29 Social media. It may seem impossible to meet someone of quality on social media sites, but it is doable. Of course, avoid the one-night stand kind of apps and go for something a little less obvious like city walks or a photography group.

#30 Movie theatre. You need to take a big girl step here and go to the theatre alone. Girls in groups are extremely intimidating for any man, but if you’re solo you are much more approachable. The same goes for him. As a group it seems impossible, but if he’s alone you could almost assume he’s open to possibilities. [Read: 13 ways to charm men into approaching you]

#31 A sports game. You should be a little cautious here because some guys get into the testosterone fever at sports games. But if you also love the game, the best place to meet someone that supports your team is at a match.

#32 Brewery. Guys like beer, and beer is delicious. Why not go see how the brew is made, and meet some men that are also as interested in beer as you? Keep your eye on the brew master, not all of them are old with a gut.

#33 Co-working space. Co-working spaces generally consist of a collection of talented creatives who like to share their work and life experience. There are sure to be a ton of cute professionals there!

Your interests can lead you to places where you can interact with people who are into the same things. Chances are, these places also have a couple of eligible guys you may want to interact with.

Do Guys Like It When Women Make the First Move?

Sexy and confident, or embarrassingly emasculating? How do men feel about take-charge women, and do they like it when girls make the first move? By Minot Pettinato-Little

Sometimes, a lady just likes to be in charge.

She likes to ask for the phone number first, likes to make the move for the kiss first, and likes the adorably shocked, yet delighted look on her man’s face as she does so. For some women, the matter of making the move is an exertion of power or control over the given situation, while for others it’s simply a way to get from point A to point B.

Regardless of why she does it, the question here is: do men like it?

You’re really asking whether or not a guy likes the idea of a girl who lets him off the figurative hook of always having to ask her out first? Come on! The dating world is a frustrating neighborhood, and your neighbors can be identified easily: mind games, playing hot and cold, and push and pull. What kind of a man wouldn’t like to be let off and have the woman figure it out every once in a while?

Of course, there are obvious reasons why many men may feel uncomfortable with a woman being forward with what she wants, particularly if those men are the more traditional types.

Still, in short the answer is a whopping YES.

Most men love it. In fact, they might just encourage the act to the secret society of unsure women. They want to take some of the pressure off of themselves for once, not having to worry about making the first call, text, hangout or date arrangement.

Why do men like it when women make the first move?

If you’re a woman who’s wondering if making the first move would earn you brownie points, here are some of the top reasons.

#1 Low pressure lady. One of the main reasons men like it is that it takes the pressure off. One wonders, if all women had to make the choices that traditional men make at the beginnings of relationships – would men be asked out at all? Anyone who’s ever had a crush knows the painstaking effort it can take to reveal your true feelings when you don’t know if they’re reciprocated.

Men like not having to worry about the responsibility of making the first move, plus the worry and awkwardness that comes along with it. So if you’re looking to make the first move, why not just go for it? [Read: 15 signs you may be too high maintenance]

#2 Shy boys love bold women. Some men are just downright shy, and the thought of a girl making all the moves and initiating all the action may be just what the doctor ordered. These guys will feel at ease with a take-charge woman and will be more than happy to watch you make all the moves. [Read: How to get the shy guy to ask you out]

#3 Confidence is sexy. You taking charge with your firstmoves will tantalize him, making him wonder what your sex moves are going to be like. Men love confidence in women. To them, there’s nothing sexier than a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go out there and get it.

To men, a confident girl is a self sufficient, non-clingy, independent decision maker. She’s courageous, fearless and fabulous.

But despite these big reasons, of course, there may still be guys who aren’t into the whole take-charge attitude.

Why don’t some men like it when women make the first move?

Despite how fabulous you feel being a take-charge woman, there are some men out there who find the act of the woman making the first move a little odd. While some women may find this a little 1950s, these men have their reasons, too.

#1 It’s not very ladylike. Men usually seem more comfortable with women initiating the first sexual move, but not the emotional ones, such as who makes the first date or the first restaurant pick. If you’ve made the first move physically on your new guy, you might feel empowered, but he might be wondering how many guys you’ve been with before him that’s made you so bold.

Basically, unfair as it is, by making the first physical move, unfortunately, you do risk the chance of coming off a bit as a slut, especially to guys who have suspicious and incredibly narrow minds. [Read: Why guys like ladies who are more demure]

#2 Intimidating and emasculating. On top of intimidating, some men might find this type of woman emasculating. If he’s expecting to ask you out, or initiate the first kiss, then he may be thrown off by your commanding choices. While it may seem like a problem a teenage boy should have, grown men have been known to run off and pout at this behavior.

You’ve stolen his balls, he thinks, and that may be a sign for things to come in the relationship… And that’s never a good sign for a man! [Read: 14 things women do that emasculate their man]

#3 He’s traditional. Traditional guys are the types who still open car doors for you, still like asking you out, and still believe that men are to be the instigators in relationships. Traditional guys may not be into your new world, strong woman feminism. That’s not to say these types of men should be attacked for their beliefs, nor does it mean that they hate women’s rights – it simply mean they were brought up in a more traditional sense and aren’t too sure how to handle your take-charge attitude.

Always keep in mind that just because you have a “leading lady” position, and your man likes it, doesn’t mean he should slack in taking charge. You work hard and you deserve to be swept off your feet, too.

[Read: How to ask a guy out without looking trashy]

So what if your potential man isn’t a fan of you making the first move? Screw him. In the end, you’re a strong woman who wants what she wants, and if you want to make the first move then grab life by the balls and go for it!

Want to do some eye flirting with that hot guy across the room? Here’s your all-in guide to mastering the art of eye contact with men! By Bennett O’Brien

You know the scene – you’re at a bar, an attractive guy is looking at you from across the room. You make eye contact with him, but it feels really awkward. A little while later, he approaches you, but you have no idea if it’s because you’ve been staring at him like some sort of creep.

When you meet a guy you think you might be interested in, making eye contact with him can be a confusing, and sometimes, nerve-wracking ordeal. Should you look into his eyes? Should you demurely look away? Should you look down at your finger nails? Do you look like an idiot for flicking your gaze back and forth? [Read: All about the first glance and love at first sight]

The situation can be awkward. It can be made even more awkward if you have never met the person before, so you aren’t exactly sure what level of eye contact would be acceptable. You don’t want to give too much or too little. Also, you don’t want to seem weird while you are trying to figure this all out.

How to make eye contact with guys

There’s no one surefire way to lock gazes with a guy, but you can try some of these methods to make sure you don’t end up embarrassing yourself.

If you’re looking for ways to catch his eye from far away, read these tips on flirty ways to get a guy’s attention from far away first!

#1 Try to make conversation. This may seem simple, but it can definitely be effective. If you are just staring at a guy, and not a lot of conversation is happening between the two of you, you’ll find that the dead air can be intimidating.

Conversation can help smooth over the potential awkwardness of eye contact. Once the conversation gets flowing, you probably won’t even be thinking about eye contact that much and neither will he. Instead, you both will be thinking about the conversation, and how you each are going to respond next. After a few minutes of talking, eye contact will feel much more natural.

#2 Laugh at his jokes. Even if you don’t think that they are all that funny, laughing at his jokes will help to ease the tension between the two of you. Plus, it will help give him confidence. If he is feeling confident, then he is much more likely to relax. And if he relaxes, then the chances are that the conversation will feel a lot more comfortable. This will make it easier to make eye contact.

#3 Give him compliments. Giving him compliments is another great way to help eye contact feel less awkward. In a similar way to laughing at his jokes, giving the guy you are talking to compliments will help him to feel confident and relaxed. This can drain some tension out of the conversation, and can help making eye contact feel a lot more natural. [Read: 25 compliments that guys will never forget]

#4 Smile. Imagine how a guy looks at you when he’s smiling and when he’s not smiling. A smile on your face while looking at someone conveys pleasantness and some level of interest. When you’re not smiling while looking at a guy, it can make the guy think that you’re staring at them and trying to read into the inner recesses of their soul, and that’s definitely awkward. To avoid this, add just a hint of a smile while you lock gazes. [Read: 10 tips to look sexy without even trying]

#5 Read his body language. The body language that the guy you are talking to uses will give you a lot of clues about how much eye contact you should make with him. Here are some signs to look for.

- He is making a lot of eye contact with you. If he is making a lot of eye contact with you, then there is a good chance that he wants you to do the same. At the very least, strong eye contact on his part can let you know that he is probably comfortable with eye contact from you.

- He nods when you are talking. If he is nodding when you are talking, it can be an indication that he likes what you are saying, and he wants you to continue. Nodding is a form of encouragement for you to keep talking to him and to keep looking at him while you do so.

- He is smiling. If he is smiling a lot during the conversation, there is a good chance that he is enjoying himself, and he is comfortable. Whatever type of eye contact you’re doing at that moment, keep it up.

- He is tapping his leg. If you are sitting down at the bar or at a table, and he is tapping his leg, it could definitely be a sign that he is uncomfortable. It could be because he likes you, or he is worried you won’t like him.

In any case, if you sense that he is nervous and is demonstrating this by tapping his legs or fidgeting nervously, it might be a good idea not to make your eye contact game too strong. Staring right at him might intimidate him or make him feel even more uncomfortable. So, you might want to wait until he seems more relaxed to make stronger eye contact. [Read: Why do some guys insist on staring even if you’re not interested?]

- He is yawning. Hopefully this won’t happen, but if he is yawning, that could mean that he isn’t that into the situation. He may be bored by the conversation, or just not that into you. Keeping your eyes locked on him can make him pay better attention to you. But if he still looks bored while looking at you, take it as a sign that he’s not interested, no matter how much eye contact you make.

It’s important to get a feel of how the guy you’re talking to is feeling. One of the many ways you can do this is by engaging in some eye contact to both convey your interest and to see how invested the guy is in your interaction. Of course, you don’t have to just give him a blank stare. You can change it up by fluttering your eyelashes or demurely looking away whenever he says something amusing.

Eye contact isn’t rocket science. It’s all about combining it with positive reactions to make the guy you’re talking to feel more comfortable in your presence. Once you get the hang of it, you’re sure to be attracting way more guys from across the room!

9 Silly Things Women Do that Attracts the Worst Guys!

Are you always being pursued by some jerk who ends up breaking your heart? You may be doing something that irresistibly attracts them. By Bennett O’Brien

Being able to attract men is a great thing. It gives you dating options, confidence, happiness, and a bunch of other benefits. However, if you keep attracting bad boys who treat you poorly and just suck at life in general, there may be some things that you are doing to make this happen repeatedly.

Imagine this scenario. You are at a bar with your friends. There are several groups of guys whom you and your friends think are attractive. One group is very rowdy and loud and are drawing a lot of attention to themselves. The other is more laid back and quiet.

As the night goes on, you gradually find yourself talking to some of the members of the rowdier group. Perhaps you go home with one of them, or perhaps you start dating one of them. Soon, you find out that he is a bad boy who treats you poorly. Damn, why does history keep repeating itself?

Why do you always seem to attract jerks?

Here’s what you may be doing to attract the bottom feeders of the dating world, the jerks who disrespect you and the men who charm you, only to end up breaking your heart.

#1 You ignore the quieter guys. Bad boys often tend to be louder, and put on more of a show at bars and clubs. While this may be appealing to you initially, it may be also be a warning sign that he is immature. Chanting, yelling, and spilling beer all over himself in a bar with his friends could be a sign that he hasn’t grown up yet.

Bad boys are often guys who haven’t grown up enough, and still have a lot of maturing to do. So, next time you are at a bar, maybe try giving the quieter guys a little more attention. [Read: 13 ways to be more approachable, even to quiet guys!]

#2 You reward bad behavior. It could be as simple as laughing at a blatantly inappropriate comment, flirting with him after he makes fun of you or still trying to get him to talk to you after he says something mean to the waitress. You may not realize it, but you might be encouraging bad behavior by rewarding it with your approval.

#3 You go for guys who fit a pattern that you are familiar with.  This is one of the most basic but overlooked things that you might be doing wrong. If you don’t want to end up with yet another emotionally unavailable, toxic bad boy, then don’t date another one who is exactly like the last one! If you want a different outcome, you may have to break the pattern and take a chance.

#4 You think that nice guys are “boring.”  It’s sad, but it’s possible that you may think that if a man is being kind to you, that he is boring. Girls often claim that they want to be treated right, but then get sucked in by the allure of the bad boy who puts them down.

“Why is he being mean to me?” “Why doesn’t he like me?” “Is it possible for me to fix him?” Trying to find answers to these questions can seem like a fun game to play when you are younger and haven’t experienced the “bad boy” yet. But after a while, these games can be exhausting.

Here’s a tip: the connection and the emotional security that nice guys can offer can be extremely exciting too. Other than that, they won’t put you on an emotional rollercoaster that will drive you nuts when you start dating seriously. [Read: 16 reasons he’s being so mean to you]

#5 You are too emotionally harsh yourself.  If you are someone who uses biting sarcasm like it’s your job, then you may be scaring the more emotionally mature guys away. Smart guys know that they want a girl around whom they can let their guard down and bond with them. If you are constantly putting people down or using lots of sarcasm, you may be scaring all the right guys away while drawing in the jerks who share your sense of humor.

#6 You don’t think enough before you get involved with a guy. Not thinking enough about the situation with a particular guy before you get involved with him can be a key mistake. Before you enter a new relationship, you should think it over, and make sure that you are not repeating patterns of the past.

It can be all too easy to allow yourself to slip into yet another unhealthy situation just because a hot guy is into you or he doesn’t seem all that bad. This is why you really need to give some serious thought to your dating life before you commit to yet another bad boy.

#7 You crave their approval. Sometimes, girls can get caught thinking that they need the approval of bad boys. Perhaps they see the rejection of a bad boy as a threat to their self esteem. Perhaps they want to make up for that one time when they were turned down by a bad boy in high school. So, in order to remedy this, they try to win over the bad boy.

#8 You are emotionally unavailable. Guys who are mature are likely to choose girls whom they can be themselves with, and who don’t have a million walls. This is because they are looking to connect with someone on a deep level. This can be tough if you’ve got more walls than a castle.

Bad boys, on the other hand, don’t mind emotional unavailability because they also have that trait. In the bad boy’s mind, being with an emotionally unavailable girl is perfect because you can then disappear on each other whenever you feel like it. Sounds like fun? I don’t think so.

#9 You are being lazy. Sometimes, it can be really hard to find a guy who is the right combination of exciting but also non-douchey. Perhaps in your quest to find the perfect combo, you have gotten a little tired. Maybe you aren’t focusing as much as you should be, so you are settling.

It’s not that you attract the jerks, in this instance. But you may just end up being with them simply because they’re the ones who approached you.

While bad boys may look interesting and intriguing at first, actually dating them can be extremely emotionally draining. Part of the reason why they are bad boys in the first place is because they don’t know how to express themselves in a gentler way. Do you really want to be navigating those emotional waters over and over again? Don’t think so!

The aura you project and the way you respond to men says a lot about the types of men you attract. When you tend to be easier on the jerks and meaner to the nice guys, you’ll definitely end up attracting more than your fair share of the worst kind of guys!

9 Ways to Quit Attracting Unhealthy Relationships

If you’re tired of dating jerks, and want to find someone great, then here are ways to quit attracting unhealthy and unwanted relationships!

Have you ever asked yourself over and over again why you keep attracting douchbags? We all love the idea of a bad boy, or the guy with tattoos, or the hottie who chain-smokes, or the one your parents don’t approve of, or that guy who looks just like your favorite rock star. Or maybe you just prefer the guys who are super arrogant, and treat you like crap. [Read: 9 reasons you’re still with the wrong guy]

Whatever type of jerk you’ve been dating that has led you to always have unsuccessful and unhealthy relationships, it’s time you stop doing what you’ve been doing, because it’s obviously not doing you any favors.

How to stop attracting awful relationships

There will come a time when you think that enough is enough, and that you deserve to be in a great relationship. But if you have no idea how to change your dating habits to attract healthier relationships, here are a couple of tips.

#1 Evaluate your appearance. Sure, looks aren’t everything, but the way you present yourself is important. We all care about how we look, whether on interviews, on first dates, or even on a regular day. The way you dress and present yourself to others is a big factor in how others will see and treat you.

If your attire always seems to attract the same bunch of douchebags that you end up dating, then changing your wardrobe to reflect a more mature persona would be a good start. Instead of wearing short shorts that attract pervy creeps, opt for a classy dress. Instead of wearing a borderline Goth ensemble that attracts fetishists, go for something a little more subdued but still reflects your personal style. Dress to impress, and you’ll find your choices more impressive.

#2 Stop being dramatic. If you are an open book to anyone and everyone that will listen to your love life, it’s time to stop. Stop being an overly dramatic open book on your social network. This is super unattractive, and the guys you want to actually date aren’t going to want to date you for several reasons.

For one, they don’t want to become just another status update that you bash, and they also don’t find it attractive that you air all your dirty laundry. If you need to vent, keep a diary, but not one on social media. No one likes drama queens, especially one who proudly displays her latest love disappointment. [Read: Why social media is killing your relationship]

#3 Have class. We all know those people who post half-naked photos on their social media accounts. Sure, posting a sultry photo on your instagram or Facebook page might garner you tons of likes or comments, but it won’t get you the guy that is going to treat you right.

For one thing, most guys would be uncomfortable with dating a woman whose goods has been seen by almost everyone in her friends’ list. Not only that, but even though you have every right to post whatever you want to post online, wouldn’t you like to save something for the decent guy who’ll treat you right?

#4 Be confident. The most common reason that girls continue to attract the losers is because they don’t know their self worth, and they don’t have the confidence. How do you except anyone to love you when you don’t love yourself? If you don’t appreciate yourself, no one else is going to. And if you let someone treat you like dirt, they will. You have to teach people how to treat you.

When you decide to love and appreciate yourself, that is when you will start to rid yourself of these unhealthy relationships. When you know that you deserve better, act like it by rejecting the guys who don’t treat you well, and actually entertaining the guys who put in the effort to try and make you happy.

#5 Start saying yes more. If you’ve always been attracted to a certain type of guy, and ignored any guys out there who don’t fit your usual type, it’s time to give the other guys a chance. Just because you don’t find a guy immediately sexy, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give him a chance.

So start saying yes to the guys you normally write off for simply not being your type. For example, if you go on a first date with a guy and really don’t know how you feel about him, give him another chance. Try again! Just because you may not feel something right away, does not mean you won’t. Remember, in love and in life, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

#6 Set standards. I don’t mean having a list of 100 things you want in a man, but it is important to have a general idea of what you are looking for when it comes to love. Set standards, and think about all the things you want in a relationship that you clearly haven’t been getting.

Stand firm in your standards, and don’t let a guy have a free pass simply because he’s cute. Know what your non-negotiables are and always keep them in mind. So the next time you go on a date with a hot guy who’s misogynistic or racist or lazy or just plain rude, forget how hot he is and just dump him immediately!

#7 Quit throwing pity parties. No one likes a Debbie-downer. We all know one, but we don’t ever want to be one. If you throw yourself a pity-party every time a guy treats you like dirt, you’re never going to attract the non-dirt bags.

Instead of hopping on the pity party bandwagon, take the more positive route by pampering yourself or having a good time with your friends. Lift yourself up, revel in how you deserve better treatment, and remind yourself that a guy who treats you like dirt deserves to bite the dust!

#8 Focus on you. Like I mentioned before, when you stop looking for love, it’ll find you. If you have spent so much of your time on wasted, failed, unhealthy relationships, it’s time to stop wasting your time!

Start spending your time wisely, start spending it on yourself. If you have found yourself to usually be the one who cares more in your failed relationships, it’s time to stop. Start focusing on yourself and what you want. Maybe join a gym, or start taking more yoga classes. Stop being so available, and make yourself and your time more valuable.

Stop being the girl those guys can always count on to be able to hang out or do something. Start having a life for yourself! So many times we forget about what we want and how important our time really is. When you start focusing on yourself, and living life how you want, you’ll start attracting the types of guys that want to be a part of your life, and not the guys who want you to change your life to fit theirs.

#9 Believe. When you believe in love and believe that good things will happen, you will start to see that they really do happen. If you only focus on the negative things in life, you’ll only end up attracting more negativity and more people whom you can wallow in misery with. Chances are, the people who encourage your negativity will just end up holding you back.

Instead, genuinely believe that you’ll find someone who will respect you and treat you the way you deserve. Believe that even if the odds are against you, there are still ways you can turn the odds around and find love. Believe that with a few tweaks in your dating habits and a bit of faith in yourself, you’ll eventually attract someone who will love you the way you deserve to be loved.

There is no perfect way or technique to find your soul mate and to have a perfect relationship. But there are guidelines, lessons and mistakes we make along the way that teach us more about the things that do and don’t work, and the lessons that we do learn, we shouldn’t ignore.

The most important thing to remember when it comes to love is that you are good enough, always! When you are with someone who is really right for you, and who truly loves you, they will make you feel good about yourself. When it’s right, you won’t find yourself crying every night. You won’t find yourself second-guessing everything.

When you take the initiative to change the way you think and the way you handle relationships, you will soon learn that finding someone who makes you feel loved is only a matter of knowing what you deserve and never settling for less!

Things You Shouldn’t Do to Get a Guy to Like You

Oh, the lengths we go through to get a guy to like us! But how can we know which methods work and which ones make us fall flat on our face?

Women are used to traditional methods of attracting men – methods straight out of Cleopatra and the Mata Hari’s handbook, that is. But men have evolved. They know how things work and when they are being played.

Ladies, men are no longer manipulated by the traditional ways of seduction that has spanned generations. They still love the chase, but they’re not as determined as they were in the old days. When a man realizes or at least thinks that they have no chance at a woman, they will back off.

Why would they think that? Because you assume that making them beg, jump through hoops and answer unanswerable questions will make them like you more than they already do.

Playing games never ends well. Why do you think the divorce rate is so high? Because people, both men and women, have a tendency to stray from honesty and sincerity – which is basically what anyone needs to make a relationship work.

What are the wrong things women do to make guys like them?

Women think that these things are effective because they used to be, and that’s where the problem lies. These methods are outdated. Men are now aware of these, because of its portrayal in popular culture. Even renowned scientists and psychologists are debunking these methods. Why? Because they get you nowhere.

#1 Reverse psychology. Admit it. You do this an average of five times a day with your man. You think that your tone gets through. The context is obvious. Your intentions are laid out on the table. But they’re not.

Men are simple beings who prefer that you say what’s on your mind before they get themselves into trouble. Most women think that admitting what they really want to say is a sign of weakness, but as I said, men are simple. They don’t have enough time to judge you, because they are focused on pleasing you by following EXACTLY what you say. [Read: 10 common mistakes women make in relationships]

#2 Playing really-hard-to-get. This method usually depends on the situation. Some men like women whom they have to work for, while some men just don’t care at all. The problem starts when you go beyond the limits of a man’s eagerness to please you.

When you start rejecting them out of a false sense of power, they will retaliate by actually taking you seriously. They won’t stand for women who are obviously playing mind games or those who blatantly reject them more than a few times. There’s only so much rejection a guy can take. If you like them, then date them! [Read: 20 reasons why a guy could be ignoring you]

#3 Setting traps. Even if women think that this is the only way to prove a guy’s worth, men don’t see it that way. They will resent you when they find out that you set them up for a fall. There are numerous examples of this sort of activity, but the most common one out there is when girls trick guys into cheating. All in all, it’s an effective way to weed out the bad guys. However, doing this to a decent person could very well ruin your relationship.

#4 Making them wait. Guys do not develop better social skills whenever you make them wait for your call, text or arrival. Making them wait is an example of how far women are willing to go to manipulate a guy’s feelings. The only person on the losing end of this situation is you. Not only did you annoy the guy that liked you, you also wasted time that should have been spent bonding with the said guy. [Read: 11 biggest dating turn offs for guys]

#5 Testing them. Expecting guys to do something that they aren’t aware they’re supposed to do is not at all effective in making them like you. You might think that guys will go out of their way to please you, but that would not be the case when it’s obvious that you’re testing them. Guys hate being manipulated. It makes them feel inferior. It also puts you in a bad light. Any duplicitous activity is always a red flag. [Read: 10 things you should never say to a guy]

#6 Adapting a different persona. When you hear that a guy likes a specific type of girl, do not go out of your way to make yourself into the girl of his dreams. There is only so much pretending a person can do. Sooner or later, your true colors will start to come out. When that happens, you will not be able to save face, because you’re not even using your real one.

#7 Dressing out of your comfort zone. Whether you’re conservative or not, dressing yourself should be based on your comfort levels and sense of style. Don’t adjust your preferences based on what the media tells you to wear. Guys will see through your disguise when they realize that you’re always being so conscious or uncomfortably fidgeting with what you’re wearing.

#8 Pretending you share the same interests. If he likes sports and you don’t, you should not try to steer the conversation towards that area. You can politely comment when it’s brought up, but acting like you know more than you do will only turn them off.

Guys are very petty about their interests. When they see someone trying to force themselves into their world without the necessary know-how, they will treat you like an outsider. They will quiz you and prove that you’re an interloper. They don’t care if they’re not going to get laid. They just know that you are not one of them.

What should women do instead?

Research suggests that women should be happy with themselves, before they try to get into a relationship. This is because they are more prone to act on the items mentioned above, because of their various insecurities and self-esteem issues.

Unfortunately, that rarely works. Women want results, and they want it now. Working on yourself takes a lot of time, and most people don’t have the drive or energy to do so. Still, if you don’t at least try, you will never succeed in your relationship goals.

The only way you can make a relationship work is if you forget about all your hang-ups and just live in the moment. Stop trying to change your partner. Stop trying to change yourself – at least the good parts anyway. Even if it feels difficult, there’s no one stopping you from changing the way you think.

Forget the mind games, the tests of love and the fiery hoops of relationships. Ask for what you want. Demand it. Make sure that it’s within reason, and that your partner is willing to make the same sacrifices as you are. Be aggressive in getting what you deserve, but be understanding when it comes to other people’s needs.

Sooner or later, you’ll see that your relationships have become better off for it. Men will adore you. Women will admire you. Why? Because you’re honest and sincere. Like I said, those are the only things you need to get everything you want and need in life.

10 Possible Reasons You’re Still Single and Struggling

Wondering why you’re still single after searching for Mr. Right? Wonder no more because we have the top 10 reasons you still haven’t found love.

When dating, we tend to instantly judge a guy on every little thing, enabling our never-ending adventure to keep searching for Mr. Right.  But if you’ve been searching for him for much longer than you ever anticipated, then maybe finding him isn’t your problem. Maybe you are your problem for being single.

As little girls, we grow up watching movies like Cinderella, and reveling in the fantasy that any minute now, the most incredibly handsome man will appear out of nowhere into our lives, we’ll fall in love, and ride off into the sunset. Oh, and if we get lost, or lose our favorite shoe, he’ll know exactly where to find us, because he’s perfect. But if you really think this is going to happen, you need to wake up.

The reasons why you’re still single

The reality is that you don’t live in a Disney movie. If you are really looking for a relationship, but not having much success, here are some reasons why.

#1 You have a checklist. We all have our idea of the “perfect” guy. Usually you’ve only “met” him in a movie. If you have a checklist of things you want, you need to understand your list should be used as guidelines.

If you’re relationship-hunting, looking for a financially stable, smart, handsome, blue-eyed, 6-foot tall guy, you need to understand this guy is probably out there, he just may not be 6-feet tall with blue eyes. If he’s only 5-foot-9 and has green eyes, you need to remember your checklist isn’t going to be verbatim.

So what if he’s a little shorter than you when you wear heels? We all shrink as we get older anyway. If Build-A-Bear could build boyfriends based on your request, then sure, you could have any boyfriend creation you want, but that isn’t reality. [Read: 9 reasons your ideal man checklist isn’t working for you]

#2 You text way too many guys. It’s a great feeling to know you’re wanted, desired, and being sought after. But if you start talking to a guy, and go on a few dates, and start thinking he might be your next boyfriend, then it’s time to get rid of the others. You know, the other guys that text you all the time but that’s all it is.

If you can’t handle attention from only one guy, and occasionally mention how the other guys won’t stop texting you, you’re basically pushing away your crush. He’ll either do one of two things. He’ll either ask you to stop texting him or he’ll eventually get tired of hearing about all the guys you’re talking to and jump ship. If a guy is interested in you, but it’s a very new, budding relationship, and he knows you’re still texting a bunch of other guys, then he might soon start to lose interest. After all, who wants to be an option to the one who’s their priority?

#3 You talk negatively about your friends. If you’re always complaining about your friends to your new crush, it’s not attractive. No one likes a complainer or a drama queen, and if you talk bad about your friends, what else do you talk about?

Soon enough, he’ll wonder why you’re friends with them, but he’ll also take into consideration the fact that if you two started dating, you’d probably talk about your relationship to your friends the same way you’ve been talking about your friends to him. A guy doesn’t want to date someone who would constantly blabber about all his negative points to people who don’t even know him yet. [Read: 8 topics to avoid in a new relationship]

#4 You’ve been cheated on and all guys suck. Most of us have probably been in a bad relationship, had our heart broken, felt like the world was ending, until we realized it’s not. If you’re the kind of girl who has been cheated on, and can’t seem to get over the trust issues, that’s fine. These things do take time.

But if you go on a date with a guy, you should not talk the entire time about how much your ex boyfriend hurt you, how you think all guys are cheaters and liars, and how you just don’t know if true love is out there. Your current date is not responsible for your loser ex-boyfriend’s actions. It’s up to you to move forward and to move on. If you want to harp on about being cheated on, that’s fine. But only do this if you want to stay single. [Read: How to deal with trust issues in a relationship]

#5 You don’t want to work. If you’ve always dreamed of being a stay-at-home mom, that’s great. But if you’re on a first date, a guy doesn’t necessarily need or want to know that. They want to meet you, but the cool you. They want to know the fun you, the outgoing you, what music you like, the you who is passionate about things, the you who is driven.

Guys don’t want to feel like you’re staring at them, planning your wedding, how many kids you’ll have, and whatever else you might be conjuring in that crazy head of yours. We all have crazy thoughts, but keep them as thoughts. Guys don’t want to feel that pressure, especially when on a first date. They can sense if you’re the kind of girl who wants to get married, like tomorrow! So stop being a vulture!

#6 You always say no. If you’re talking to a guy, and he asks you to do things, but you always say no, he’s going to stop asking you at some point. Just like with your friendships, you’ve probably experienced a time in your life when you stopped getting invited to do things, and eventually your friends told you it’s because you always said no or were never available. If you are always sick, always working, always tired, always something, then you’ll probably always be single.

#7 Social media is your life. If you pride yourself on being a really great Facebook stalker, that isn’t necessarily a good thing, especially when referring to a guy you are dating or getting to know. When you start dating a guy, you are entering his life, and that makes you someone new in his already established life.

You are going to encounter his friends, the people who were there before you came along. If you’re on his Facebook page, or Instagram account and you see some girl write a comment using a smiley face, this does not mean they’re flirting! Seriously, how many smiley faces have you ended a comment with, think about it.

The bottom line is, don’t troll his social media accounts, and turn into some sort of online detective. Don’t go looking for things that aren’t there. If you tend to react quickly about comments, likes, followers, especially early on in the relationship, I can promise you that you’re going to scare him away. [Read: 14 dos and don’ts of adding your date on Facebook]

#8 You think it’s weird if he’s being nice.  This one is very important. If you honestly get weirded out because your guy is being nice to you, you know, complimenting you, holding the door for you, paying for your meals, basically treating the way you should be treated, then you are definitely your problem.

Calm down, and stop thinking that he has ulterior motives. A guy can be nice because he genuinely likes you. If you keep being weirded out, you’ll just make him think you’re not appreciative. And that’s one way to drive a guy away.

#9 You’re needy. It’s very okay not to spend every single day together. Just because you have a huge crush on a guy, or think he might be “The One,” doesn’t mean you two have to hang out 24/7. There’s a reason the saying goes “distance makes the heart grow fonder.”

If you’re constantly available, he might actually start taking you for granted or getting annoyed by you. A relationship is like a teakettle: it takes time to warm up. You don’t have to have true love within the first 48 hours of dating each other. In fact, you should seriously continue having your girls’ night, and letting him play poker with the guys.

When you two aren’t spending time together, and he knows you might be all dolled up with your girlfriends for Wine Night, he’ll probably not even be thinking about poker and thinking about you instead. And isn’t that what you want? Don’t you want a guy who thinks about you and misses you, but also someone who wants you to do your own thing whenever you want? If you are the needy-new-girl-in-a-relationship, it’s safe to say the guy will get tired of feeling like they are babysitting you, and not dating you. [Read: 9 ways to stop being needy and insecure]

#10 You like having your best friend around all the time. If you are always seeking out your best girl friend for advice, her opinion, her feedback, her reassurance when it comes to your dating life, then this means you’re insecure about yourself and making decisions on your own.

It’s great to hang out with your best friend, but you don’t have to update her on every detail, fight, discussion that you have with your boyfriend. Some things are better left within the realms of a relationship, and not spilling out onto your friends! [Read: Why you can’t seem to find love, no matter how hard you look]

Re-evaluate your moves and motivations when you’re out looking for a guy to be in a relationship with. If you do any of the above actions way too often, then it’s safe to say that those actions are the very things that are keeping you single.
