Dating can be a tricky affair and depending on the number of heartbreaks one has experienced, some people chose to keep to themselves. But is the dating scene really that hostile or do we get in with unrealistic expectations?
Most women we talked to said they do not understand what men really want in a relationship.
We talked to a number of men in their 20s, 30s and 40s and interestingly some observations were common across the board.
We share with you some nuggets from the mind of a man:
Nag me not: Men said they cannot stand a woman who nags. If you want him to do something for you, don’t keep nagging him about it. Give him time. Don’t also be
The thrill is in the chase: Yes, there’s all that talk of if I like him, I’ll approach him et al. And that’s all cool until you realise you have to make most of the effort to meet him. Most of the men said that they still feel a man should pursue the woman. Men are hunters by nature.
However, if you like a guy there are subtle signs you can send to grab his attention. Get on his radar eye with a great outfit, eye contact or a smile. Additionally, have a casual conversation to get his attention and show off your personality.
Easy to please: Men are not as difficult to please as we think. They like authenticity in a person and the first impression could be a turn on or a turn off. Don’t pretend to be someone you are not.
Men are straight-forward: What you see is what you get. Unlike women who usually communicate in parables or expect their partner to figure out what she wants, men would rather you spell it out. Sister, don’t beat about the bush!
Men are visual: I’m sure you know that by now. The first thing a man notices about a woman is undoubtedly their appearance. However, that is not the only factor that draws men’s attention. But that will determine whether he approaches you or not.
Confidence: This means you are confident in your abilities, about who you are and most importantly you are comfortable about your body. Confidence is an instant boost and once you feel confident about yourself a man is likely to be attracted to you.
If necessary, improve your sense of style to look and feel more confident. Don’t worry about being too trendy. He’s going to pay more attention to your confidence and not your outfit.
Wear a signature scent: Leave behind some beautiful memories of you *wink, wink*. Choose a scent that you like and that smells great on you. Scent can both draw his attention and make him remember you. And don’t forget to wear it when meeting him.
Keep your hair neat and clean: Whether you chose to braid, weave or wear a wig or keep it natural, remember to always have clean hair. Men hate unkempt hair and most of them think that stylish, healthy, and shiny hair is a sign of health and youth.
Be mysterious: Don’t be like an open book. He will get bored very fast. Men love some mystery about women. Don’t bare it all – Half-naked bodies are what he sees everywhere he turns. , but half-naked body reveals all the secrets. A great sense of style can tell a lot about you, keep it in mind! Your perfume and makeup talks about your taste.
Wear a smile: A beautiful smile could be the one thing that carries the day. A woman who smiles is thought to be more attractive and approachable. She sends out a signal of joy and optimism, everyone certainly enjoys looking at someone who has a lovely smile.
A smiling woman, on the other hand, makes men feel more confident and masculine. Besides, a smile is contagious; when you smile at someone, they smile back.
