The 7 Essential Traits of Highly Attractive Men
Written on
According to the Pareto principle, a small percentage of men enjoy the majority of dating opportunities:
20% of men secure 80% of the dates.
The remaining 80% of men compete for just 20% of the dates.
So, what does this mean?
If you're having difficulty finding dates, the best course of action is to aim for the top 20%.
How can you achieve this?
It's straightforward.
Observe the habits of the bottom 80% of men...
Then adopt the opposite behaviors as your new habits.
From my findings, here are the 7 essential traits of highly attractive men:
They Regularly Visit the Gym
It's important to note that:
2/3rds of adults in the United States are either overweight or obese.
To become part of the top 20% of men, the first step is to make the gym a regular part of your routine.
When you picture an attractive man, what comes to mind?
Typically, he's fit, right?
The most effective way to enhance your attractiveness is to commit to a fitness routine and healthy eating habits.
Here’s a tip:
Next time you're tempted to skip the gym, vividly imagine your ex with someone who is dedicated to his fitness.
If that thought makes you uncomfortable, good.
When I was beginning my gym journey, the thought of my ex dating someone fitter than me was my motivation.
Few things drive a man more than the pain of lost love.
If maintaining a gym routine proves challenging, reflect on what you'll miss out on.
Join a gym—your future self will thank you.
They Dress With Style
My friend, the moment I began prioritizing my style, my dating life improved dramatically.
Why is that?
Men are perceived as status symbols by women, just as women are for men.
When women socialize, they prefer to be seen with a man who presents himself well.
Not someone who appears as if they just rolled out of bed.
A staggering 80% of men dress in a manner that lacks maturity—think ill-fitting clothes and worn-out t-shirts.
Go to a department store and ask for a style consultation.
Observe the men who are dating attractive women.
Ask a woman you'd like to date for help picking out clothes that would appeal to someone like her.
Alongside fitness, dressing well is crucial for attraction.
Neglecting this aspect means missing out on significant opportunities.
They Are Purpose-Driven
Losers chase women.
Women, in turn, are drawn to winners.
Winners pursue their passions.
The more you pursue women, the more they distance themselves.
This is a pattern I've learned over 29 years: when you chase someone, they tend to flee.
Every woman I successfully dated was attracted to me, not because I pursued her.
I vividly remember a girl I thought was out of my league.
When she asked me to walk with her, I declined to study instead.
Months later, we ended up together, and she told me:
"You were the first guy to decline my invitation."
When you stop chasing, they start pursuing you.
Focus on improving your fitness.
Focus on refining your style.
Focus on your career.
They will come.
They Exude Confidence
How do most people engage with one another today?
They look down, slouch, and mumble.
This is your competition.
To join the top 20%, you simply need to project confidence, even if you're not fully feeling it.
Stand tall.
Make eye contact until they look away.
Speak clearly and deliberately.
Smile.
These four actions account for a significant portion of perceived confidence.
To boost your confidence further, recall a past achievement:
- Graduating from college
- Obtaining your license
- Overcoming a personal challenge
Reflect on a time when you felt truly confident.
They Take the Lead
Which of these approaches is more appealing?
"Hey, do you want to hang out this week?"
or
"Hey, I'm going to a café on Tuesday at 6 PM. Join me."
One requests leadership; the other asserts it.
Losers ask.
Winners instruct.
Tell me your name.
Give me your number.
Come see me.
Take my hand.
Women appreciate a confident leader.
Stop treating them like your mother and take charge.
Leading can be daunting, but that's exactly why many avoid it.
Be brave and take the initiative.
They Are Exceptional
An interesting observation I've made is that women, particularly high achievers, are often attracted to men who are more competent than they are.
Women who prioritize fitness want men who surpass their own fitness levels.
Intelligent women seek out men who are more knowledgeable than they are.
Stylish women desire men who are more fashionable.
To attract the type of woman you want, you must excel in the areas you admire.
She seeks someone to look up to.
They Are Assertive
When you fear losing someone, what do you do?
You become overly accommodating.
They might behave poorly, and you think, "I don’t want to lose them, so I’ll let this slide."
In contrast, a man with choices thinks, "I have other options; I don’t have to accept this."
He sets boundaries.
When a woman crosses a line, he addresses it without hesitation.
She kissed another guy? — That’s it.
She ignored me for a week? — That’s it.
She complains about my gifts? — That’s it.
Just like a skilled doctor can work anywhere, an attractive man knows his worth and expects respect.
This self-assurance ironically increases attraction.
When you assert yourself, it signals you have options, and if you stand firm with her, you will also support her.
That’s what a real man does.
Becoming an Attractive Man: The Bottom Line
Becoming an attractive man is not overly complicated.
Why?
Because 80% of men aren't putting in the effort.
To join the ranks of the top 20%, implement these 7 habits:
- Regularly visit the gym.
- Dress with style.
- Focus on your purpose.
- Build confidence.
- Take the lead.
- Strive for excellence.
- Be assertive.
That’s all it takes.
