What Men Find Sexy About Women: The Top Ten List

by eHarmony Staff


She’s Playful (1/10)

Next Slide

Women who take themselves too seriously are seriously not sexy. There’s something about a woman who is comfortable enough to be playful, flirty, and not worry that she is risking her reputation. Please don’t confuse playful with silly. Silly women who are clowning for attention are vexing. In fact, one man suggested that playfulness is a great sign of maturity – a woman who loves life and isn’t ashamed to show it.

I just talked to two moms yesterday...both talked about their sons...they just had a break up with a cheating girlfriend.  Why do men like bad girls...girls with an edge?  All the above attractions are good, but only if the apple has a good core---make sure other men are not taking bites.

Someone may not be traditionally beautiful but have incredible beauty inside. The core is important as well as a well-taken care of body.

I was very surprised to not see the one thing on here that I can't imagine any man not appreciating and or desiring with great fervor: Smarts! I know of no man, who's looking for something of substance, that doesn't put intelligence at the top of his list. If not Must-Have #1, then at least the second.

Great kissing, understanding a man, being open to new experiences, etc. are all great, but if the two people can't connect on a mutually intellectual level, what depth of connection can there actually be? Consequently, what chance can there be that this will be a lasting endeavor?

Actually, all the men I know seek women open to new experiences, adoring him, doing things for him, etc. Some who are more shallow, seek beauty, figure, etc. My personal must have #1 is intelligence and education. However, my kind of man is not in the significant majority. I am still looking for the woman who is a secure down-to-earth brainiac to be mine!

What do you consider smart? Some people consider people to be smart based on their education. Others base it on other factors. Is it possible to be a smart person without having any school smarts?

Yes, that is what a person's Intelligence Quotient (IQ) measures....their creativity and approach to problem solving.

You could have a genius with a 200 IQ who has never studied a school book in his life. But thier ability to reason out the answer to many questions using his creative problem solving would serve them well in those situations.

Example: On a multiple choice question a person who has studied can pick out the right answer from memory, but a person with a high IQ can look at the multiple answers, eliminate all the answers that don't make sense and use logic and creative thinking to filter out the rest of the answers until the one that makes the most sense in regards to the question remains.

So yes. I actually prefer someone who is creatively smart over book smart. The difference is a book smart person has to study their area of expertise, where a creatively smart person can apply that talent to any number of topics....all they require is a basic understanding of what is being asked and through process of reasoning and logic they can understand their way through the problem.

yes, I agree with the other comment. You are right, I agree with you about the intelligence. Sometimes if too book smart you can't have a conversation. It's more like Street smart with comprehension and understanding. Someone who can connect the dots so to speak. So..hmm..how old are u? U available? lol.
