6 things women notice about men immediately

According to Dr Gordon Patzer, author of
Looks: Why They Matter More Than You
Ever Imagined, and one of the world’s
leading authorities on physical
attractiveness, a lot of what women notice
in the first few minutes is appearance-
based. “A substantial portion of the six
features of a man are apparent, in terms
of height, weight and overall physical
attractiveness,” he says. And when
appearances don’t make the cut, the door
slams shut on further interactions. Here’s
a list of things to keep that door open.
1. Physical stature: Yep, you knew this
already: size matters. Height and weight
are right on top of the list of things
women notice. “Too much or too little of
either immediately classifies the man as
unattractive to women, and closes the
door before less physically obviously
features (such as confidence) can be
determined,” says Dr Patzer. Take heart
though, the acceptable range is influenced
by the woman’s own height and weight.
2. Appearances and attractiveness : Yes,
beauty is skin deep, but it’s going to get
women to explore what lies beneath.
Attractiveness does include what you
were born with, but your genes alone
can’t scuttle your chances. What really
counts is what you do with your hair,
clothes, grooming and basic hygiene. If
you can’t make the effort, women
certainly are not going to work hard to
learn more about you!
3. Smile : Once women are done assessing
your overall build, women will look at
your smile. “The ability to smile,
particularly within the first few minutes
of meeting, sends a welcoming, non-
hostile signal to women,” says Dr Patzer.
There is one proviso though — the smile
must show off reasonably good-looking
teeth. It’s never too late to fix an
appointment with the dentist!
4. Humour: Another reason to show off
those pearly whites! Women like men
who have the ability to laugh. Even
better, make the woman laugh. That
instantly nets you bonus points!
5. Confidence : Women find confident men
attractive. According to Dr Sameer
Malhotra, head of psychiatry and
psychotherapy department at Fortis
Hospital in New Delhi, within the first few
minutes of meeting, women will not only
suss out your level of confidence, they
will also interpret the vibes you give out
and how you think. “Women notice how
clear or decisive you are and whether you
approach things positively.” Just
remember, cockiness and arrogance are
not the same as confidence!
6. Conversation: Men have successfully
given womankind the impression of being
strong and silent. So women aren’t
expecting you to have mad talking skills.
All you’ve got to do hold her attention.
“We know (scientifically) that the more or
longer that a woman gets to know a man,
the more physically attractive he becomes
in her mind,” says Dr Patzer. Women are
looking for someone to keep up the
conversation — so forget the one-liners,
just be yourself!
