I&rsquo;m not looking for the bombastic blond, in stiletto heels, mini-skirt, makeup done perfectly.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, I&rsquo;m attracted to women who are out of the ordinary. A little quirky, even. They might be overweight or have what one might say a bad nose, or flat-chested. &nbsp;None of that matters to me. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like unconventional beauty on the outside, and a rich, evolved beauty inside.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am very attracted to women who have atypical passions: &nbsp;maybe they fly small planes or love to couch surf during their vacations. &nbsp;I guess you could say I&rsquo;m a sucker for originality.

It&rsquo;s not my fault! Men&rsquo;s brains are wired to seek partners who can give them babies. &nbsp;This means wide hips and small waists. That kind of figure is really attractive to me. The next thing that attracts me is a smile. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course! &nbsp;Who wants to be with Miss Frowny-face? &nbsp;No one! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/love-tips-for-her\/\">Men are attracted to women<\/a> who smile. &nbsp;I also check out their teeth because good teeth mean she takes good care of her hygiene, which is important to me.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like a pretty face with full lips, and I love red lipstick on a woman. &nbsp;I love when a woman dresses in red. It&rsquo;s just so sexy! As far as personality goes, I am attracted to women who are extroverts. &nbsp;I love seeing them be the life of the party, as long as they go home with me!&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"James-60-tells-us-that-he-is-attracted-to-women-who-are-direct\"><\/span>James, 60, tells us that he is attracted to women who are direct<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked, &ldquo; why are men attracted to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/\"> women<\/a>&rdquo;, this is what James says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was younger, I used to be attracted to women who were coy, never really speaking their mind. &nbsp;My ex-wife was like that. But it became a real problem because she never really learned to communicate honestly. &nbsp;I&rsquo;d see her looking troubled and I&rsquo;d ask her what was wrong. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, nothing, she&rsquo;d answer. &nbsp;So I wouldn&rsquo;t press her any further. &nbsp;But then things would simmer and eventually she&rsquo;d have a big fight with me. &nbsp;This ultimately led to the end of our marriage. Now I am attracted to women who speak up, say what&rsquo;s on their minds, tell me directly what they want or need when I ask them what&rsquo;s wrong. &nbsp;Being silent or secretive serves no purpose in a relationship. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Larry-56-tells-us-what-attracts-him-to-women\"><\/span>Larry, 56, tells us what attracts him to women<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked, &ldquo; why are men attracted to women&rdquo;, this is what Larry says. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She has to be in my league. What do I mean by that? &nbsp;That she is accessible. Oh, when I was younger I used to try and hit on women way out of my reach, supermodels, the heiress, the star athletes. &nbsp;I was constantly rejected by these women, of course. I wised up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now what I find attractive in women is that we have loads of things in common. &nbsp;From the physical&mdash;she can&rsquo;t be too gorgeous, because I&rsquo;m no movie star, to the economic&mdash;she can&rsquo;t make more money than me because that just doesn&rsquo;t work well in the long term; I end up feeling emasculated. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dating someone in my socio-economic bracket is important to me. &nbsp;If the woman hits those benchmarks, she automatically is attractive to me.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Michael-48-needs-a-spiritual-connection\"><\/span>Michael, 48, needs a spiritual connection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked, &ldquo; why are men attracted to women&rdquo;, this is what Michael says. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;You know what is attractive to me? &nbsp;A God-fearing, holy woman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give me a woman who goes to church, respects the 10 Commandments, knows her place beside her man, and I&rsquo;ll fall in love with her. &nbsp;I&rsquo;m attracted to women who serve their church, their community, and their man.
