But you may be surprised at the things guys really can\u2019t resist about women, and some of them are the very qualities women fear will drive men away \u2014 from letting a curse word fly loose to leaving all kinds of makeup near his bathroom sink. Here\u2019s why these habits (and others) can actually win a man over\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>6<\/em><\/strong><span><strong><em> secret<\/em><\/strong><\/span> turn-ons for men<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. He loves that you indulge at dinnertime.<\/strong><br \/>\nGuys love women who like to eat \u2014 not ladies who say they aren\u2019t hungry and then pick at their date\u2019s food all night. Paul, 30, who lives in Boston, thinks that food may be the reason he fell in love with his fianc\u00e9e: \u201cWhen we first started dating, I thought it might be awkward if I wanted greasy food like wings \u2014 I figured she\u2019d think it was fattening or unhealthy. Women I\u2019d dated in the past only wanted to go out for salad or sushi. But she was enthusiastic about eating all kinds of things with me. I loved that easygoing attitude of hers.\u201d Aside from showing that you\u2019re not high maintenance or neurotic about your weight, that kind of unabashed enthusiasm also tends to translate into other areas \u2014 including the bedroom. \u201cA woman with a healthy appetite for food tends to have a healthy appetite on <em>all<\/em> levels, and being affectionate is absolutely a part of that,\u201d explains Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., author of <em>Emotional Fitness for Couples: 10 Minutes a Day to a Better Relationship<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>Browse Local Singles at Match.com on Yahoo!<\/div>\n<div><label for=\"gc\">I am a: <\/label><\/div>\n<div><label for=\"tr\">Seeking a: <\/label><\/div>\n<div><label for=\"pc\">Near:<\/label><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><strong><em>6<\/em><\/strong><span><em> secret<\/em><\/span> turn-ons for men<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>2. He loves your occasional outbursts.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou may worry that it\u2019s not ladylike, but occasionally letting a curse or rant escape your lips at an unexpected moment can be a major turn-on. \u201cHearing a woman use profanity out of context gives a guy a shock of adrenaline,\u201d explains Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of <em>Be Honest \u2014 You\u2019re Not That Into Him Either<\/em> and <em>DSI: Date Scene Investigation<\/em>. \u201cMen like women who can be tough and assertive, and as long as she doesn\u2019t take the talk too far, it\u2019s a positive thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. He loves that you aren\u2019t a neat freak.<\/strong><br \/>\nBelieve it or not, guys find the proliferation of hair products, accessories and unidentified stuff strewn about your apartment oddly endearing. \u201cI love that my wife makes a bigger mess than I do,\u201d says Ziad, 31, of Durham, NC. \u201cWhen she cooks, food ends up all over the place. It shows that she\u2019s carefree, and it reminds me to enjoy the moment rather than worrying about the consequences.\u201d This laid-back mind-set also carries over into your weekend wardrobe. \u201cGuys love a woman who\u2019s not trying too hard,\u201d explains Dr. Kerner. \u201cMost men think a pair of boxer shorts and a ratty old T-shirt around the house is your most attractive look.\u201d So don\u2019t spend hours choosing the perfect date-night outfit or getting your place in <em>House Beautiful<\/em>-worthy shape, because men love you just as you are \u2014 in your comfortable, slightly sloppy glory.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>6<\/em><\/strong><span><strong><em> secret<\/em><\/strong><\/span> turn-ons for men<\/h4>\n<p><strong>4. He loves your extra padding.<\/strong><br \/>\nSure, you\u2019ve heard that men love women with curves, but how about those extra pounds you\u2019ve been trying to sweat off at the gym? There\u2019s a good chance that your guy loves them, too. Just ask 26-year-old Nick: \u201cMy girlfriend exercises regularly, but I think the little pudginess in her thighs is sexy because it shows she\u2019s not perfect.\u201d Sure, your extra padding may make men feel a little better about their own couch potato bellies, but there\u2019s also a biological reason why men like this. Psychologists at the University of Texas determined that men were most attracted to women with hourglass figures \u2014 regardless of their weight. They theorize that men unconsciously seek this body type because it signals that a woman is able to procreate.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>6<\/em><span><em> secret<\/em><\/span><\/strong> turn-ons for men<\/h4>\n<p><strong>5. He\u2019s fascinated by your knowledge of the things you\u2019re passionate about.<\/strong><br \/>\nA man becomes fascinated by whatever it is that gets you all hot and bothered \u2014 regardless of whether or not he shares the same interests. \u201cIt\u2019s not about knowing facts \u2014 it\u2019s about being passionate about something,\u201d says Mira Kirshenbaum, author of <em>The Weekend Marriage<\/em>. \u201cThese are things that are important to her, not just stuff meant to impress a guy.\u201d This can be passion for a subject as seemingly obscure as agricultural practices of the Mayans or as popular as Spanish as a second language. He may not quite get it and he may not want to have all-night discussions about it, but he definitely appreciates the fact that you\u2019re a smart, interesting woman who thinks for herself and doesn\u2019t mold her interests to match those of her partner. Your interests also fuel what Dr. Kerner calls the process of self-expansion. \u201cThe more you expand as a person,\u201d he explains, \u201cthe more the relationship expands.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>6<\/em><\/strong><span><strong><em> secret<\/em><\/strong><\/span> turn-ons for men<\/h4>\n<p><strong>6. He loves a good head rub from you.<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t get me wrong \u2014 men love it when you grope their erogenous zones. But that\u2019s not the only type of touch they crave. Adam, 28, of Roanoke, VA, confesses: \u201cI love how my wife rubs my head at night.\u201d Sweet, yes, but it also feels oh-so-good: home to hundreds of nerve endings, the scalp is an often-neglected zone. And light touches anywhere can achieve a similar effect, since they cause his body to produce vasopressin, a feel-good relaxation hormone that also promotes bonding. Another positive side effect? Initiating <em>any kind<\/em> of physical contact sends your man the message that you want him just as much as he wants you \u2014 and that you truly care about him.<\/p>\n<p><em>Matt Schneiderman has written for<\/em> Stuff, Cargo, <em>and<\/em> Sync <em>magazines<\/em><\/p>\n<p>P.S If you enjoyed reading my post and you feel you had value from it, please be so kind as to \u2018like\u2019, \u2018share\u2019 and \u2018comment\u2019. <strong>My mission is to provide as much service to others as I can.\u00a0 I am inspired by the motto,<\/strong><strong><em> \u201cWhatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.\u201d ~ Napoleon Hill<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><strong><em>6<\/em><\/strong><span><strong><em> secret<\/em><\/strong><\/span> turn-ons for men<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 secret turn-ons for men By Matt Schneiderman Sure, some typical moves \u2014 a hair flip here, an eye batted there \u2014 will attract a man\u2026 some of the time.
