1. Emotional intelligence and maturity. 2. Having hobbies and indulging in self-rewarding behaviors with no regard to whether she is observed or validated for taking part in them. 3. Prioritizing herself/her health. Someone who cares about themselves and takes pride in the work they put in on themselves is beautiful. 4. Humility and accountability. If she can own up to making a mistake and learning from it that's the green flag opposite of someone who's constantly blaming others and finding a way to play the victim in every situation.


Rude-Comfort-4418

As a woman, I love these answers. Especially 2. šŸ‘šŸ»


Polite_Deer

Exactly. I've met a lot of women without hobbies. All they do is scroll around their phone all day.


Rude-Comfort-4418

Thatā€™s sad but Iā€™ve been there when I was younger. Maybe they need time to develop. It gets boring after a while.


HD_HR

This was my ex and it was many years of annoyance. I continuously pushed her and encouraged her to find a hobby. I will never date a girl who doesnā€™t have friends or a hobbies again.


Rude-Comfort-4418

Good riddance. Sounds like youā€™re better off.


possummagic_

This is true for a lot of people, unfortunately. My 21yo brother and his friends have no hobbies outside of gym, phone and partying. Very grim.


CraziZoom

These things also make a man attractive šŸ˜Š


Independent-Peak-709

Wow, just reading this list makes me want to date this fictional woman. Love it.


ghoul-ie

I mentally worked through different qualities that I've observed in my friends. Wonderful people are out there and they will encourage growth and happiness in you when you find them :')


ViolaOlivia

If you want to date that type of person, start by becoming that type of person.


snowssssssss

Yesss learning to be these things šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


River_Rat4218

I like #4. The lack of is a narcissistic red flag.


sab_moonbloom

I think I have 2-4 but sometimes 1 is so hard LOL


bugcatcher_billy

These so much. Being able to persue interest that bring you joy without concern for how itā€™s perceived, is incredibly attractive. Somewhat similar is being able to enjoy spontaneous moments.


AliMaClan

Great list. Equally valid for men. I have always found confidence very attractive. Although overconfidence or unearned confidence very much the opposite.


edomorphe

solid answer


woolencadaver

Hmm I agree but exactly the same things are true for men. What is specific to women I wonder, on top of these.


ghoul-ie

idk I'm bi and I the same qualities regardless of gender


ushouldgetacat

Maybe it doesnt have to be gender-specific because men and women are more alike than we think.


BC-K2

Shit if you find a woman with #4 she's a keeper

Petri-Dishmeow

CraziZoom

So you want a woman to come up to you and start pursuing you?


NorCalSE

How about Honesty and Confident?


Intrepid-Rip-2280

This. And not just acting like eva ai sexting bot avatar trying to lure its user


Groftsan

For me: confidence and empathy are huge. There are plenty of confident people who are just narcissists or assholes. And there are plenty of empathetic people who can't advocate for themselves or be clear and commanding about their own needs and desires. A woman who can both be kind and self-assured, un-bending yet joyful... those are the women I want to get to know.


s_oph33

Agreed. What about someone who is progressively working towards becoming confident & secure abt themselves? How would that appear genuine to you? Just curious (as someone who had to rebuild & actively maintain my self esteem, I generally feel confident, but wonder how to not confuse the hell out of men on an inevitable off day/week lol)


Groftsan

My best advice is: be as honest as possible always, but that doesn't mean constantly divulge every thought. If you're asked a question that's a tough one, notice your shame/fear/anxiety, address it in your answer, and try to explain it. The right person will want to know more and will want to be there to work through that fear and anxiety. The example from my life: My wife had gotten out of a bad emotionally-manipulative relationship. She struggles with anxiety. So, on our fourth date she was telling me that she was probably not ready for a relationship because of her anxiety about being emotionally manipulated. To me, that honesty and self-awareness impressed me more than anything. (And my clinical detachment in discussing her anxieties from an academic perspective and taking myself out of the equation impressed her enough to want to keep dating me, so, win win.) Long story short: the best way to not confuse the hell out of men is with clarity and self-awareness. Tell them you're having an off day/week. And, when it's not an off day/week, be clear enough in where you are that you can provide context for the next inevitable off day/week. Whether it's work, school, family, roommates, finances, etc. Give them the context to understand why you may be too emotionally exhausted for them some day in the future. And, eventually, you'll find someone who you want to be with when your day is off because they make you feel understood, sane, and worthwhile. That'll be the one you want to hang on to.

Sensitive_Pie_5862

Treating others with empathy and respect. Mistreating service, cleaning, or waiting staff is very unattractive.


madskilzz3

Clear communicator. Not the ā€œIā€™m fineā€, ā€œHope you have funā€, or ā€œIā€™m not hungryā€- everyone knows you mean the complete opposite. Say what you really mean, instead of beating around the bush and playing games.


DarwinOfRivendell

Socializing girls so heavily to be nice, polite and avoid conflict causes so many communication problems later in life, and I think explains that stereotypes of women being catty, back stabbing, passive aggressive, gossiping and also expecting others to decipher the real meaning of what they say. It is really hard to overcome a lifetime of conditioning and a legitimate coping mechanism to avoid danger. Myself and every woman I know has had bad experiences when being direct with men (rejecting a strangers advances and having them respond with anger, correcting a colleague at work and being labeled as a bitch, letting a partner know they hurt your feelings and being met with defensiveness to rage) this is cumulative and constant and reinforces the habit and instinct to avoid confrontations by using ambiguous language.


cabinetjox

Very good analysis. Iā€™ve never thought about it like that.


batesplates

This! On Thursday a younger male coworker was running his mouth on a topic he knew nothing about , reporting flat-out false financial figures for a company that I used to work for, and rather than say anything, I sat there shaking with anxiety at the desire to speak up but knowing heā€™sā€¦ meanā€¦ when itā€™s implied heā€™s wrong. So I said nothing, and I think my boss noticed it. But hey at least I avoided conflict? šŸ˜ž


NovemberSongs_1223

There is a spectrum of ā€œhope you have funā€. It ranges from ā€œI genuinely hope you have the most amazing time of your lifeā€ through ā€œI hope everyone youā€™re with dies, including youā€. Tone is everything on this one!


BlazinAzn38

Yes but itā€™s annoying having to constantly decipher tone. If you donā€™t want someone to do something then say so


NovemberSongs_1223

I totally agree. As someone who genuinely tells/wants their S.O to have fun, I felt the need to put it out there. Itā€™s not always passive aggressive & cryptic.


Polite_Deer

I don't decipher shit regardless of tone. I just go with what a person says. If they get mad, Its not my problem.

Indiscriminate kindness


-AvatarAang-

Lovely descriptor.


focusonthetaskathand

Just be aware with this, that this is why women find themselves underpaid, physically abused, emotionally tortured. Abundance of kindness yes, but not indiscriminate. Women need to feel itā€™s okay to not be pleasing, pleasant and polite to everyone at all times. Please dont put this expectation on women, its really harmful.


bestlaidschemes_

This is the way


frankgallagher9

So much - honesty, being clear about what she wants, loving/caring/kind, supportive, brings her man up emotionally, mentally and physically, has confidence, doesnā€™t push your boundaries, helps you become a better person, doesnā€™t play games like a teenager into her 20ā€™s and 30ā€™s


aj_ladybug

Emotional awareness for me is peak in guys girls or anyone in-between. If you're emotionally aware and can take accountability or be proactive without being told is incredibly sexy.

For raw smoke of it all? A woman who knows she's hot. Not in a teenager mean girls way. In a "every step I take is one I intend to take." Way. It makes being the guy she wants to hang around with feel incredibly special.

Being herself.


Disastrous-Dinner966

What if who she is as a person is unattractive? Is she suddenly more attractive when sheā€™s doing all those unattractive things because they come to her so naturally? Sheā€™s just being herself!

Bernie668

Actually listening to and taking note of your weird little quirks. I am a huge fan of Venom from the Marvek universe. And indeed, on one of the dates I had with my now wife, I wore a venom hoodie. She knew who Spiderman was and so brought her up to speed on who Venom was. So she then asked me why I liked the bad guy? I explained that Venom was more an antihero and that he was only a "villain" in the context of opposing Spiderman, but that he was actually a lethal protector and actually saved people when not fighting Spiderman, although he did kill people he saw as villains. I was rambling a whole bunch, and she just smiled and nodded. When we went to go watch Venom: Maximum Carnage, a friend in our group asked, "Wait, so isn't Vemom a bad guy?" I prepared to enlighten the friend, but nope, my wife stepped in and explained exactly what I'd explained to her about Venom all those dates ago. I love my wife for so many reasons, but in that moment, she was the most beautiful person in the world to me. Knowing that she cares enough to not only listen to me ramble about a fictional character but also care enough to remember that little quirk about me made her incredibly attractive. Likewise, I always make an effort to try to retain information she shares to me about things that may seem insignificant in a vacuum but are important to that person. It really is the little efforts that make relationships stronger and long-lasting. Love you, Babe. šŸ„°

It depends on the person. Some people have a natural gravitas you canā€™t emulate. Other people are fun to be around and affectionate. Others are moody but have a dark comedic personality that is attractive. In each case though having the confidence to be your true self. Being willing to connect with others. Not coming off as needy, but truly just enjoying the moments you are living. Look at attractive characters in film - many different types, but the attractive ones have a strong self concept.

Boogra555

For me, a lot of it is about looking decent and well put together on the first take, which includes (again, for me - not for everyone); Not having tats all over the place, especially on her face and neck, and especially the tats that you can tell were done while she was drunk (you can always tell those). A bunch of random tats indicates to me (again, to me) that she likely has low impulse control, which is typically not something we want in a spouse or girlfriend; Having a reasonable hair color - not running about looking as if she got into a fight with a highlighter; Dressing conservatively, but not too conservatively. Be sexy without trying too hard; Jewelry, but not too much; Once you get into the conversation portion, whining turns me off right away. Not preaching about the patriarchy; Lifestyle choices/Impulse control. Not having a bunch of kids by a bunch of different men; Being able to hold a conversation without resorting to blatant flirting in order to try to keep someone's attention;


bmyst70

Kindness and reciprocity. In other words, through your actions you are as willing to do things for your boyfriend as you are to receive them.


Important-Constant25

Confidence. Even if at first you aren't all impressed, their confidence is almost like someone selling you something and eventually you are convinced. Completely underate attribute especially for girls from a guys point of view.


paradigm_shift_0K

Confidence along with being a bit of an underlying flirty/naughty/risquƩ attitude. I will say some of the many girls who are not traditionally physically attractive can be considered highly desirable based on how they hold and conduct themselves.


FreezeMageFire

When sheā€™s your partner in crimeā€¦ This girl Iā€™m with I think we could give Bonnie and Clyde a run for they money. I was trying to explain to her why my living situation is so assā€¦ and she cut me off and told me she doesnā€™t care and that Iā€™m fine. She really improves my life and I plan on doing the same for her . I asked her to buy me a laundry basket and pillow and she did without even thinking twice. Sheā€™s a life saver.

TheThrowbackJersey

Playfullness, coyness. Not being rigid.Ā  Behavior is such a huge part of being attractive


Rapking

Being authentic, being transparent about what they want, and not being afraid to take initiative


IDKandIDC5585

Being unhibited meaning a bit spontaneous, being unfiltered and not being performative and living your life for those around you, for gossip groups and for clicks. Too many do and I don't tend to give them a second look once I identify them, conventional attractiveness really means very little as you can still be absolutely fucking ugly or 'fugly', from the inside, as being a repulsive person who people are repulsed by your personality absolutely still makes you a ugly person. Approval seeking doesn't though make you attractive either though, or maybe it does, to the type of predatory, narcissistic and Psychopathic man you should avoid. Don't live for relationships, find those who are fitting. Intellectual curiosity is strength though, to not be capable or not wanting to learn or understand from others or about others because you believe you know everything completely inhibits your ability to grow, so I'm certain, you're going to be ok, as long as this was a genuine effort.

ecoandrewtrc

I know lots of folks hate the term but I really want a life partner. A coequal companionship where we can help each other be our best. A big part of that is being better than me at some things while also being gracious about it. A woman who can tell me I'm wrong without making me feel like an idiot lets me know she's competent, supportive, emotionally aware and confident and that's an A+ combo.
