What Type Of Guys Do Girls Like? 

Are you wondering what type of guys girls like? While different girls are attracted to different things, there are traits that women tend to find universally attractive. 

Girls like guys with a strong body, leadership skills, passion, ambition, a sense of humor, strong personal boundaries and a fun lifestyle that she’d want to be a part of. If you have these traits, you’re highly likely to be your crush’s ‘type’.

We’ll explore why these traits and a few others are so attractive in the guide below. 

10 Traits That Women Find Attractive 

The more of these traits you can embody, the more beautiful women are likely to be attracted to you. 

A Strong Body

Some women are attracted to boyish good looks. Others like the traditionally handsome man.

However, if there’s one physical characteristic that most women go wild for, it’s a strong muscular body.

A strong body isn’t only attractive for them to touch. It’s an indicator that you’re going to rock their world in bed. It’s also a subtle sign that you are disciplined, that you’re able to look after yourself – and also that you’re able to protect her.

So, instead of crying that you’re not tall or good-looking enough to attract a woman, get down to the gym and sculpt a strong muscular body.   

Leadership

Feminine women are attracted to masculine men – and the ability to lead is one of the strongest indicators of masculinity. 

That’s why it’s your job to approach her, to ask her out, to arrange the date, to take her back to your place.

Women want guys who have the bravery and assertiveness to do all these things. 

If you wait for her to take any of these steps, you might be waiting a long time, because it’s inherently unattractive to want your woman to lead anything. 

If you’re a leader of men, perhaps in a sports team or social club, that’s usually going to make her even more excited to hang out with you. 

A Sense Of Direction

This is part of being a strong leader. 

Women want a man who knows where he’s going in his life – and is taking confident strides to get there.

A lost purposeless boy is not on top of her romantic wishlist. 

Excitement

A big part of femininity is the desire to experience strong emotions. That’s why women want a man who can excite them.

While they might not logically admit this, they want a guy who can provide a rollercoaster of positive and negative emotions.

This is exciting to them, and it’s why you’ll often spot women chasing the unpredictable ‘bad boy’ rather than the boring ‘nice guy’. 

Flirting is also key to exciting her. Without physical and verbal flirting, you’re in danger of becoming a really good friend and nothing more. 

A Lifestyle She’d Want To Be A Part Of

It’s often said that women are attracted to money, and that’s somewhat true. But, it’s more accurate to say they’re attracted to the classy lifestyle that money can provide. 

Indeed, if you have cool friends, fun hobbies and you’re always out doing cool stuff, a woman is going to be attracted to you because she’d most likely want to be a part of that lifestyle as your girlfriend or wife. 

It’s possible to have these things without money too though, so don’t stress if you’re not earning as much as you would like to. 

Ambition

If you don’t have the epic lifestyle – but you have a burning ambition to make something of yourself – you’ll find a lot of women become drawn to you. 

That’s why you see the ‘starving artist’ or ‘broke musician’ stereotypes often have beautiful girlfriends.

The desire to strive for great achievements is an incredibly masculine trait – and that’s why feminine women are attracted to it. 

Passion

Passionate conversation is more exciting than an intelligent conversation with no emotion behind it. 

So, if you’re passionate about your goals and ambitions, don’t hesitate to share this with women. 

However, if you speak passionately about anything, it’s likely to draw them in and make them want to be around you. 

It’s not just that you’re showing off your drive and your lust for life. It’s also that a passionate speaker tends to be a passionate lover.

A Sense Of Humor

Women love when a guy can make them laugh. This is a strong positive emotion that all women want to feel. So, if you have a sense of humor, that’s a big bonus. 

There is a subtle condition on this. If it seems like you’re making jokes and playing a fool just to entertain and supplicate to her, that can be a bit of a turn-off.

It’s better to make jokes and tell stories that YOU find funny and to take her along for the ride. 

Strong Boundaries

This is another key indicator of strength and masculinity.

If you set personal boundaries and stick to them, she is going to appreciate that and be attracted to it. It’s the sign of a strong leader, after all. 

If you let a woman walk all over you, she is going to lose attraction for you pretty quickly.

Here’s the thing: a woman will often test your personal boundaries by acting a little bratty in your presence or trying to ask for certain things.

It might seem like she wants you to cave in and let her get away with it. But deep down, she’ll be more attracted to you if you stand your ground and put her in her place.  

Don’t Pedestalize Her

This is confusing for a lot of guys – because most mainstream TV shows and movies glamourize men who will do anything to win the heart of their crush.

These ‘nice guys’ always seem to get the girl in these movies – but it doesn’t tend to work that way in real life. 

In reality, women want to date a man who they see as above them in the social ladder.

If a guy treats her like a princess from the very start of knowing her, she’s going to begin to feel like she’s above him. 

And that’s a huge attraction killer. 

Women never want to date down.  

The key to not pedestalizing women is to have a life that’s already awesome without any specific woman in it. 

That should be enough to help you show the right level of interest in her without turning into a huge simp. 

As a man, you should lead by showing interest, without giving her so much attention that you appear desperate.
