The age old question that has baffled men for centuries still has no definitive answer that could help men everywhere, and nice guys in particular.
The truth is that there is no definitive answer because different women want different things. Looks do not really matter to the majority of women because they often look for other things in a man.
Bad boys do appeal to women because they appear to be a little dangerous. They are often good looking as well, but the effect of the bad boy does not last long. In fact, it often becomes tiresome. It is intelligence and sensitivity that seem to make the best impression on women and so go to prove that personality does actually count for something after all!
The majority of women do want a nice guy that they can talk to, laugh at and with and generally spend a lot of time with in the coming years. It is essential to have a good sense of humor as well as a sparkling personality. However, some women will not like your sense of humor at all. As with anything else, certain jokes and thoughts are an acquired taste. If you are confused now then keep reading because it gets worse!
It is important to talk about looks when it comes to dating because it could be your looks that initially attracts a woman. If you have an air of confidence then this will also make an impact. However, those two things will only get you so far. It is important to look your best and feel comfortable in your own skin so ensure that you are wearing clothes you feel comfortable in and have reasonably well-groomed hair.
A little aftershave is good too, as are clean teeth. In fact, the latter is a must! However, you should not get too anxious about your looks. If a woman disregards you on the strength of them then she is not worth the hassle anyway. As long as you are comfortable that is all that matters.
The one thing that should be stressed about looks for a nice guy is that you should always smile, and make sure that it is a comfortable one rather than a forced one. This will look attractive, but a forced smile will look creepy and give you an air of a crazed murderer rather than a happy go lucky guy!
In summary, women want the following qualities in a nice guy if they are going to make a date and keep it:
· An air of confidence
· A nice smile that is comfortable and not forced
· Intelligence and wit. You do not have to be an academic but you do have to have common sense and the ability to listen.
· Attentiveness (paying her the attention she deserves)
· Respect for her, yourself and the other people around you
· A fun sense of humor that matches hers
· The ability to take on responsibility and offer stability
· Similar values, interests and hobbies
If you are a nice guy then it stands to reason that you will have most of the above anyway. These qualities will stand you in good stead and make your love life a lot brighter in the future.
