There is no recipe for being perfectly desirable and always liked by everyone, so don't take this as a guide on how to behave in order to please men.
But if you're struggling to please yourself and you're convinced that some things men like and others don't, you might be wrong, these insights can help you relax. Express your authenticity.
Scientific research has provided answers that most men agree with that do not conform to standard male stereotypes.
So there you have it, a list of things you believed men liked and didn't like.
Slimness, flat stomach, long legs
No matter how much models are admired, not all men like them. And what do men perceive as feminine and attractive? Waist-to-hip ratio – narrower waist and wider hips. Body weight does not play a role here. Women can be overweight, thin, it doesn't matter if they have such a waist to hip ratio, they look feminine, sexy and attractive to them.
Stability and risk aversion
When choosing a stable partner, men want someone they can rely on (in the kitchen as well as in bed), someone who is always by their side and who doesn't get into risky situations and plays by the rules. But these qualities are no longer so attractive to men. Modern men are fascinated by women who do extreme sports, travel and show a penchant for adventure.
A husky, sexy voice
If you thought men liked a raspy sexy voice, that's not true at all! According to research, men much prefer a high-pitched female voice. Men are attracted to a higher tone of voice because it indicates a low potential for conflict.
Good sense of humor
As much as it is important for women that their partner is witty, that they can have fun and laugh with him, the opposite is not true. Men don't seem to expect humor from women at all. Men don't want women to be witty, but to think they are. Ladies, your wit only qualifies you for a short fling or platonic friendship.
Big breasts
In a world where women are massively reshaping their breasts through both surgery and bras, it's taken for granted that large breasts are attractive - the bigger the better. Surprisingly, research has shown that this is not the case at all - despite the stereotype, men are most attracted to medium-sized breasts, which they describe as - neither too big nor too small.
A youthful face without wrinkles
If you're convinced that you're becoming less attractive as you age and that only a youthful face with smooth, wrinkle-free skin is attractive, you're wrong. Many men prefer a more mature look when it comes to choosing a long-term partner. Interestingly, men whose mothers were older than 30 when they gave birth often find older women more attractive than younger ones.
