Type of men that are attractive?

By *hamCouple30 OP Couple over a year ago

Birmingham

I read recently that women are only attracted to a small type of men. These men must offer value as women no longer need to rely on men for money and security.

Ladies, what would describe as the type of men you're attracted to?

Men, please pay attention as you might learn about what ladies really want.

Whilst I can understand that with changing times the rules of attraction may have changed - I'd be interested to read more (if you have a link?) as, if what you are suggesting is correct, it would mean a large number of men never meeting or finding a relationship with anyone, which obviously hasn't been the case so far.

Would also suggest that people don't have different things, from others, that attract them

There's a fair bit of research from dating and hook up sites which shows a small number of men get a very disproportionate amount of looks and meets, but male to female attention is much more broadly spread. This doesn't really translate into the real world as everyone needs somebody as the song goes, thank goodness!

Honest, a clear communicator, open and aware.

Smiley and a positive outlook.

Independent, with his own interests.

By (user no longer on site) over a year ago

Women hold the power when it comes to selecting in sex and men as a result often try to fit the model of what (they think) women want.

Unfortunately, women are often wise to that game and the men often get it wrong in any case. Be yourself is a good start, and if that’s not good enough then work on you. And don’t pander for heavens sake.

I quite like the Billy Connolly line on this though. Women need to feel loved to have sex and men need to have sex to feel loved, so somewhere in all that someone has to lie.

If a man told a woman to pay attention and change there would be outrage

It's a two way street and imo there's no need for a guy to pay attention and alter himself to fit what a woman wants.

The same as no woman should alter herself to fit what a man wants.

Be yourself and at least the other person is liking the real you and not someone you're pretending to me.

Can only assume this post has been posted to trigger the battle of genders again which is a common theme to get high responses.

It’s such a ridiculous concept. We as humans are so diverse and have such different experiences that to suggest what a person brings to a relationship across the board is all going to be the same. So many examples of how wrong you are really, and then suggesting guys need to change to accommodate is beyond ridiculous. Not only is that fake unsustainable but promoting misery to the person feeling they need to change. Imagine a painfully introverted type who is being told you need to be extrovert full of energy and confident... but then there are people who love introverted types. This whole concept is embarrassing and putting all people into a category. And if Fab has told me anything, it’s there are many versions of what people want

Attraction is like a pie chart and various attributes make it a whole such as looks and personality etc. But the % of each variable differs from person to person but it always makes 100%. If you click you click no need to overanalyze in my opinion.

Ah thanks for the context makes sense from that perspective to an extent and possibly reflects on both sides of the equation - perception and reality are often different though as you say.

Similar to the oft repeated suggestion on here that only gym fit, big dicked, adonises get a look in which we know in reality is not true.

I highly doubt the journalistic validity of this article beyond click bait.

In my experience, women are attracted to a huge variety and diversity of people, based not just on their ‘value’ but them as a person.

Are we really saying that people only are attracted to the value in others, as opposed to their values?

Part of me wonders if this article is intended as a satire of how women were viewed a few decades ago

I’d have to search for the stats again, but I’ve read that typically throughout history about 20% of men were able to pass on their genes whereas around 80% of women passed on theres. It’s been the norm through out history that most men weren’t suitable and marriage and monogamy were things that were invented to try to artificially level the numbers out. It’s interesting stuff

Yep and that’s also my point, no one size fits all, and this is just a post of individuals saying what they like... and I guarantee most things mentioned are about being a nice human being for the most part, and that doesn’t just apply to men.

I read an article a while back about how biologically woman are more attracted to men who have a certain shoulder to waist ratio which is all to do with alpha dominance, protection etc.... but what about dad bods, what about the persons personality, I just think suggesting one size fits all and men should take note and adapt who they are to suit what people say they like is ridiculous and they will never be happy!

Could spend your life getting in shape, getting tattoos, growing a beard, being an outgoing confident guy. Then meet someone you really like and find out then like dad bods, hate tattoos and beards and prefer quiet laid back people. I just find the whole concept of adapting who you are to find someone completely absurd.

I think "value" in men is a bad way to put it, it's probably more priority and power dynamic shifting.

I like intelligence, humour, humility, an awareness of the world and an ability to empathise and shift perspective. I have things I like physically but they're not nearly as important as temperament.

I’ve spent the majority of my adult life in relationships with women. Now that I’ve discovered some of the joys of single life, I’m very wary of changing who I am to appease a partner.

Over a long term your true colours will come out and playing a part to attract isn’t going to make a relationship work.

So I’ll stay being me and hopefully only attract those with the same mindset

I like that this conversation exposes the fear that men have about being a more thoughtful person. "I'm not changing for no one"

This attitude will not get you far in life or love.

Women are always adapting to please their men, but the thick men just want it their way.

There are lots of single men and not many single ladies around. Look at this site as an example.

Men. Stay as you are. Selfish and thick. Women will find the good men. The caring loving and thoughtful ones.

I disagree with that. I don't think anyone should have to change to suit someone else. Change happens organically or else it doesn't doesn't last, and people always change as their circumstances change, even if they say they won't.

It’s an interesting one when most of the answers from women are basic stuff like well groomed, confident, funny etc etc

And guys are like “I ain’t changing for no one”

If your not well groomed change that for yourself

I believe in the UK there are slightly more women than men, probably due to greater longevity. Presumably the number of single men and women is therefore roughly the same, the imbalance on Fab is not reflected in reality.

I'm not convinced calling people selfish and thick is the way to constructive dialogue but I'm open to changing my mind.

Would also suggest that people don't have different things, from others, that attract them

yeah right swipes snd matches doesn’t mean anything other than superficially people think they look good

how that translates to successful relationships is much harder to track - people are attracted to much more than a good looking picture

"Can only assume this post has been posted to trigger the battle of genders again which is a common theme to get high responses.

this idea of creating insecurity is exactly why the type of articles the OP is referring to was written

the media drip feed sell you the insecurity so in future they can sell you the solution, all the while already drip feeding the next insecurity and the cycle continues

easier said than done but until we can all seek our validation internally rather than from others / society, the wheel will just keep turning

Offer value?!? Women do not and should not hold all the cards. Relationships are a 2 way thing and both individuals should bring something to the table.

i don’t think you should change your appearance or personality in terms of your likes and dislikes / hobbies etc for anyone else - those things make you “you”

but i don’t think its unacceptable to change things like thoughtfulness, selfishnesses, ability to communicate well, healing from your past trauma and the way that makes you approach personal relationships plutonic/ familial or romantic etc - these should be considered self improvement wether they get you a relationship or not you are then bringing a better version of “you” to the table

I can’t even with these utter drips

Thanks for your concern, I guess I am a selfish thick man because I’m interested in a woman’s values not just her value.

Because I hold my own self worth and time as equal to anyone else’s, and don’t deem her as greater than me but an equal. That honesty trumps manipulation. Because to be truly happy a person has to live their truth, and then someone with similar truths will match with them.

All people should aim to be the best they can be, should be good humans, but you are suggesting men need to manipulate their personalities to try con a woman to like them. Because woman only care about what value a man brings... so basically all women are gold diggers in your eyes.

Well i do, if this was reversed and we were saying the exact same things towards women it would be disgusting, so I see no difference. To attack men for holding their values and morales as high enough to not change who they are to please and manipulate women to be seen as more valuable.

We are not just talking about men being good and nice people but changing who we are based on what women say they value. Suggesting we need change who we are. Imagine saying that to a woman.

If this had been a male saying it, I wouldn’t have no issue with it either personally, I don’t know about others. I can’t see anyone “attacking men” as you put it, I do see people posting their opinions, ones some may not agree with, but I don’t see any attacking.

Who is expecting you to abide by it other than the person in the forum who wrote the post?

Nobody is invalidating your feelings, you’re free to feel as you please. But if you’re taking someone’s general post as personal attack on yourself as an individual you probably need to ask yourself why you’re doing that.

If someone made a generalisation about women and I know I’m not like that, I wouldn’t feel the need to fly off the handle or even justify myself.

I find that strange. Quite a few men have responded and have not needed to justify what type of man they are, likely because they’re secure in who they are and don’t believe they are the above.

This is not men bashing as I'm a man posting (Leo). I'm am stick and tried of hearing and seeing the way men trey women and their expectations.

This post was asking what ladies find attractive in a man. The men who fear this question are very aggressive in their response.

This is an opportunity for men to learn and present their qualities. I'm asking for tricks or witch craft. Just feedback for men to get on with ladies.

Personally I wouldn’t change for the sole reason of meeting one woman’s demands. I always try to be a better person, limit the traits in myself I don’t like so much and amplify the ones I do like. If that works for someone, great! If not, I’m sure they’ll find someone right for them

"I read recently that women are only attracted to a small type of men. These men must offer value as women no longer need to rely on men for money and security.

Ladies, what would describe as the type of men you're attracted to?

Men, please pay attention as you might learn about what ladies really want.

Self aware, knowledge of trauma and triggers, goes to therapy, actively anti-opression, good communication skills, will do some a fair share of emotional labour.

And...must love dogs. "

"Women: I just want a man to make me laugh!

Me, a funny man: Hi!

Women: hahaha, no not you!"

Very true. I've always been able to make women laugh but that's never translated into success in attracting thrm.

I've seen it suggested recently that expecting someone to attend therapy is inherently classist. That might have come from an American, though, and I'm not sure what NHS provision for therapy is like. Probably grotesquely underfunded.

Otherwise, five out seven isn't bad, is it?

That’s an interesting point, if someone’s financial situation prevents them from access to therapy (and NHS services are a postcode lottery) I wouldn’t hold that against them.

If someone does have the disposable income however, I see it in a similar vein to a gym membership. It’s an investment in yourself and your well being.

Well I'm half way there. I've had therapy but never had a gym membership.

That's an interesting comparison – especially given that both can do more harm than good, and can directly compromise a person's well-being.

It's definitely true. I think we can probably sub out therapy for introspection/working on your shit.

Apart from all the usual cobblers I love to listen to stories of life experiences. Doesnt have to be wild and wonderful stuff but just someone that can talk in an interesting way about things in their life.

I'm not sure you could or should ever become a person that you are not just to please somebody else though. That's just obvious though isn't it.

In response to the discussion of whether or not one should change for other people: Here's a bit of advice given by a guy I knew at uni. He's handsome, charming, successful at everything he puts his mind to, better than me in every way, and has had a *mindboggling* number of sexual partners.

"Be yourself, but be the *version* of yourself that they can handle."

But will he ever be able to find the one to love him and him her/him if he wanted to. Does lots of encounters make him feel better than just one person to share his marvellousness with

Yes. She's one of the most attractive women I've ever met, and generally wonderful in every way.

I like this.

I'd perhaps add "consider if you can be that version of yourself with them". That speaks to if they work for you as well

"To go against what are mostly typical posts you would expect to see on a thread such as this ...

I have no interest in how a man is financially and I think you will find most independent women who do not want to co-habit would feel the same. Single Fab women are not all gold diggers.

I’m just thankful that there are all these perfect people out there in fab land to tell us what is attractive.

I, for one, have only been successfully adulting for twenty something years so it’s all a bit new.

Thank you everyone for another thread to tell men what you think they should be.
