What Turns a Man On

If you are really interested in knowing what turns a man on you should read this post. I did some digging, asked a few questions of the masculine sex to see what it is that really flips the internal switch and makes them “want” a woman. What I came up with may surprise you.

 

This is not to say that I didn’t get the answers of the sexy full lips, the ample cleavage and the perfect ass. See there are plenty of woman out there that have those attributes, but not all of them are men magnets… as a matter of fact, there are many women that lack some or all of those physical attributes that have more men flocking to them then the movie star beauties. So what is it? Trust me, it isn’t rubbing the Planters peanuts on your skin that is going to get you the guy.

 

Posture

 

Oh shake your head if you want, but by and large men prefer a woman that stands tall. I am not talking height, I am talking standing up straight. This shows confidence. The majority of woman that stand up straight also dress well and exercise. They feel good about who they are and what they have. A woman that is proud of her body, regardless of the shape or size is going to make a man take notice.

 

Buck Up

 

Guess what, men know that woman get hurt and that they cry. In general men also want to be there to help “the lady in distress” and woo away the worries of that woman so she feels safe and secure. That’s endearing. But if you want to really drive a man wild, bite your lip and suck it up. Men seem to find woman that handle some of the crap that life throws at them insanely attractive.

 

Back off the irritableness and the yelling you are about to do. This is not saying that you shouldn’t cry, and that you shouldn’t want a man that is going to take care of you and be there when you need them… what this is saying is that there are times when you as a woman should stand up and be able to take the pain, the agony, the twists and turns in your life. That shows inner strength, which is sexy.

 

Baseball Caps

 

Yes we know that men wear them, for one a few reasons, to support their team, to hide the bed head or to hide the bald spot. But when they see a woman sporting a baseball cap it is a turn on. This seems to tell men that you are strong, comfortable just kickin back and sporty.

 

Know Software

 

This one makes me laugh a little bit. Men are attracted to woman that are software savvy. There is something about a woman that is able to navigate her way around systems, connections and networks that turn them on.

 

Shampoo

 

Ok, this is one that I completely agree with, not the only one, there are a few I already mentioned that I agree with and know that they are true. But this one is pretty good. While in general men are considered visual, they need the eye candy, they are also incredibly turned on by what they smell. This is where the perfume and scented body lotions come into play… and DON”T forget about the sexy shampoo. Men love the sweet smell of freshly washed hair when you are cuddled up next to them. It makes them think about all the good of a relationship.

 

Underwear: Skip Victoria Secret

 

I am sure that woman everywhere are either laughing at this one or they think I am insane. But the honest to God truth here is that yes, men love the sexy lingerie for those special occasions: birthdays, honeymoon, anniversaries and the moments when you are asking to be seduced… but is the one look that they all seem to agree is the sexiest? Boxer shorts and a thin t-shirt… or one of his dress shirts and panties.

 

Get Dirty

 

I don’t mean talk dirty, I mean don’t be afraid to get out there and get dirty and sweat. Yes men love a woman that knows how to dress well and look outstanding for the night… but they also appreciate and love a woman that is not afraid to get out and nature and soak it up. Hike, bike, mow the yard, hack the trees… be able to pull your own weight along side a man through manual labor… they just may want to take you right then and there.

 

“Duhh…”

 

Yes, men like smart women, we have already discussed that… but there is a small part of the man’s brain that also wants you to occasionally be “ditsy” or “silly.” No one likes a know it all that knows it all all of the time… especially men, especially when that know it all is a woman. This isn’t saying they like airheads, this isn’t saying that you should hide your smarts… this is saying that there are times, when you are just going to have to let something go. I call it compromise. Men like to know that they are needed, just like a woman does. So you have to let them know that you need them… that you can’t do everything on your own and you don’t know everything.
