Attractiveness doesn’t have much to do with physical appearance. It’s more about personality traits and behavior than eye color and biceps. So, what makes someone have so much x-factor and appeal? Here are 15 behaviors that enhance a guy’s attractiveness without him having to try too hard.
1. They carry themselves confidently.
No matter what a guy looks like, if he has a confident gait and positive body language, like having an upright posture, this exudes attractiveness. You’re more likely to do a double take than if he’s slouching or looking insecure.
2. They smile.
A guy who smiles gives off a warm vibe which makes him seem personable and down-to-earth—and that’s sexy! In fact, in a study, researchers found that when participants were shown pictures of people who either had a neutral expression or were smiling, they rated the smiling faces as being more attractive.
3. They have a good sense of humor.
He doesn’t have to try to make you laugh, he just naturally does! Why? Because he’s got a relaxed sense of humor that comes out naturally without being forced. Maybe he has interesting, funny observations about the world or he’s confident enough to poke fun at himself sometimes. Hot.
4. They don’t realize they’re attractive.
When guys don’t even see their physical attractiveness or how many women hit on them, it boosts their appeal! They’re clearly humble and down-to-earth, instead of being arrogant or thinking they’re walking around like the best thing since sliced bread.
5. They get lost in their hobbies.
There’s nothing sexier than a guy who’s passionate about his interests and can spend hours enjoying them. Whether it’s making music or building cars, that glint in their eye when they’re in their element is hot.
6. They don’t have to fish for compliments.
A guy who’s genuinely attractive but doesn’t flaunt it doesn’t have to try to get praise and validation from other people. He knows who he is, flaws and all, and still loves himself. There’s nothing more boring than a guy whose self-worth depends on others’ opinions!
7. They’re honest.
Honesty is one of the most attractive qualities in a guy. When he’s transparent about his agenda and open about what he wants or how he feels, this might make you think, “He’s my guy” within five minutes of meeting him.
8. They love their pets.
Is there anything sexier than a guy holding a kitten or puppy in his arms? It shows that he has a soft, tender side, but without trying hard to seem that way – no selfies of him holding said puppy required! It also displays empathy and responsibility because he’s taking care of his fur babies.
9. They dress well for themselves.
A guy who knows how to dress well is sexy because it shows he takes care of himself. When he shows up to a date looking put together and flaunting exceptional color coordination, it’s attractive. It shows that he took a few minutes longer to prepare his look so that he’d impress you. He’s making an effort, aww!
10. They have good personal hygiene.
Guys who shower daily, use deodorant, and brush their teeth? Winning. They don’t have to work hard to be attractive. By looking after themselves, they display self-worth and self-love, both of which are sexy.
11. They know themselves.
Dealing with a guy who’s all over the place and giving you mixed messages can make you go from interested to turned off, really fast. So, it’s refreshing when you interact with a guy who knows himself and where he’s going, as well as what he wants.
12. They express their feelings.
A man who’s in tune with his feelings and isn’t afraid to express what’s in his heart? We’re here for that! It shows that he’s self-aware and more likely to be empathetic toward others. If a guy can express what he feels, he’ll be more open to acknowledging your feelings.
13. They’re their own positivity coach.
Although it’s great for a guy to be tuned into his feelings, it’s attractive when he has the mental strength to pick himself up and give himself a pep talk when needed. No matter how many obstacles he faces in life, he finds the optimism to keep going.
14. They don’t take a lot of selfies.
While taking selfies is fun, it’s not cool if he’s always snapping pictures of himself and sharing them with all of his friends and followers. There’s something to be said about a man who isn’t vain and doesn’t feel the need to be glued to his phone.
15. They’re a fan of the slow burn.
When you meet a new guy and he tries to rush you through the dating process, love-bombing you in the process, it’s a turn-off. By comparison, a guy who paces himself has the self-assurance to build a relationship with you without trying to lock you down out of insecurity. That’s hot!
