It's not that men want the women they're dating to act like another guy friend, but they do like to feel a sense of light-hearted competition in life even when it's totally playful. A girl with a confident competitive edge is likely to keep him on his toes.

You might be shy about some of your "strange" mannerisms or hobbies but give the men of the world some credit! You have probably been drawn to a man before because of his own quirky habits so why wouldn't the same happen to you? This is a good one to remember because

Be Authentic

If you remain authentic when you're dating you will find the people who truly like you for who you are, and not just one version of you that they've been exposed to.

Interesting Features

Not all men are looking for the type of "perfect" looking woman that so many women aspire to be. Many men prefer interesting physical features as opposed to cookie-cutter ones, like big noses, gaps in teeth, or super big behinds.

Self Confidence

Tastes vary from man to man, but rest assured that your look tops someone's list no matter what you think you look like in comparison to other women.

Necks and Collarbones

Here we are dressing in outfits that show off our cleavage and waistlines and so many men are drawn to the more innocent places on our bodies like our collarbones and necks. Those areas are highly erogenous and turn on for most people when stimulated so it sort of makes sense why men might see them and start thinking naughtier thoughts.

Own Life

There's a difference between being available for dating and being needy, and we always want to avoid the needy side of things. Mature men are attracted to women who know their place in the world and have their own life but would love to share them.

Independence

They're not looking for women who are looking to complete themselves or ditch all their current life plans and run off with him overnight. Men appreciate the consistency of a woman who can be independent.

Good Posture

Standing up straight as opposed to slumping over is commonly cited as an attractive quality because it demonstrates confidence. Good thing that's an easy fix for most of us! To work on your posture, try to keep yourself engaged throughout the day and draw your shoulder blades together which will naturally open up your chest without much effort. Be sure and work on your core the next time you work out for an even more permanent posture fix.

Undivided Attention

Most people these days are used to dating in the age of electronics and having cell phones by their sides, but even more reason why people respond well to undivided attention.

Active Listening

Put your phone away on dates and practice active listening to stand out from the crowd and really wow that guy with your total focus.

Sincerity

Sometimes flirting techniques include things like laughing at all his jokes (even if you don't think they are funny), but in the long run, men prefer women who are sincere and authentic. Otherwise, they're never sure what they're going to get or if your sentiments are really honest.
