I feel a strong need to respond to this thread.

As I mentioned in a previous message, I am a professional dating coach for men, and one of the best.

Now, the attraction process is much different for men than women.

Asking what women find attractive in a man is a terrible question, on so many different levels.

First of all, you wouldn't be asking it if you were secure in yourself, and secondly the answer doesn't matter.

Women tend to love and want to tell you what they want in a man, what their type is, what they find physically attractive, and whats on their list, but this matters zero. If in doubt, ask a woman for her list, and then compare it to her last 3 boyfriends.

Women respond to how a guy can make them feel. Let me tell you, I'm never anything like a woman's "type", in fact they always seem to tell me that. I'm short, not good looking, not rich, and any of that stuff. But I have an ability to make women experience emotions, and this makes them want me.

Dating is not really a conscious process, its fairly biological, and a response of a series of chemical reactions. Asking a woman for what she finds physically attractive is kind of dumb because it is mainly personality traits that make women experience those love forming emotions, not what you look like.

From an evolutionary biology perspective men are attracted to women who provide the best chance of passing on his genes, hence why men are attracted more to physical looks. This is called replication value and its largely based on what she looks like.

For women, though in an evolutionary way they need someone to look after them while they are pregnant and while children are young, so what they look for in a man are personality traits that fulfill biological needs. And what makes a man a great survival choice, is not looks, its his status in his social group, his ability to provide and be self-suffient, and many other personality related aspects.

This is another tricky subject, because often what women say they want and what they actually want are two different things. Thats why often asking women for dating advice is actually a really bad idea, because they give more an idea of an ideal man than what actually works in real life and its such an unconscious process that men also rarely date people that look good on paper.

What is not attractive to women is a guy who is insecure, and unsure of himself. A guy who wonders what a woman's type is, or wonders if he is physically good enough, will struggle to ever be good enough with women. Just accept what you look like, focus on beign fit and healthy, and be sure of yourself. Stand in front of a mirror naked for as long as it takes to be comfortable with who you are, and be content with that.
