When men talk about what they find, aside from personality, super attractive about a certain woman, the list usually involves many body parts. But when women share what they find attractive in a man, … Here are 30 things men do that women still find sexy.
It often comes down to body language. The way he walks, the way he holds a glass, even the way he buttons his shirt … It can seem huge and inexplicable. Not that a girl can’t appreciate a nice pair of buttocks, of course, or a great figure … But more often than not, it’s the little gestures that can drive a woman crazy.
And the funny thing is, the guy doesn’t even realize he’s doing something that turns her on, because that’s just how he naturally is (which, of course, is part of what makes him so sexy). So here’s a brief list of some sexy non-sexual things men do that women have revealed to be very exciting.
1 – Steering the wheel with just two fingers
When you’re in the car with a woman, you exude an air of total control. It’s as if your body is saying, “I don’t even have to use my whole hand. I’ve got this.
2 – Driving with an elbow through an open window
Letting your whole forearm dangle is dangerous and implies a certain sloppy recklessness. Leaning your elbow against the open and steering from a single main window, however, exudes control and total ease, with just a touch of recklessness. It’s absolutely one of the sexiest things guys do.
3 – Placing a hand on a woman’s lower back, guiding her towards her seat
Body language experts will say that when a man places his hand on the upper back, it may be a friendly gesture, but a hand on the lower back always implies desire. As well as being a subtle mark of attraction, it’s also quite chivalrous, as you’re both directing it while letting it go first. Needless to say, this is a move that can only be made with a woman you’re dating, and not, say, a colleague at a work dinner.
4 – Place a hand just above your knee at the bar
Again, we can’t stress enough that this is a great move only when you know the woman is yours. And, even then, if for some reason she pulls her hand away or stiffens, stop immediately. A big part of what makes a man attractive is his ability to read a woman’s body language and make sure she feels comfortable.
5 – Stretch out one arm against the back of your chair
This is especially nice when you’re together in a restaurant or at a family gathering, as it sends a subtle signal to everyone that she’s your partner and you’re proud.
6 – Wrap an arm around her waist
This is a very nice gesture of protection, especially when you’re walking in a dodgy area. But it’s somehow particularly exciting when you do it if you’re on the phone, to remind your companion that just because you’re talking to someone, you’re not forgetting her.
7 – Remove a shirt by pulling it over your head with just a thumb and forefinger
There’s no logical reason why this is somehow more attractive than grabbing the shirt by the buttons and removing it that way with both hands, but it is what it is.
8 – Drink a bottle of beer with just two fingers
Like the elbow on the car window, this exudes an air of confidence and control. It’s ease.
9 – Take a wallet out of your front trouser pocket
In theory, this shouldn’t be any more attractive than taking your wallet out of your coat pocket. Which in many ways is the most civilized gesture. But for some reason, slipping your hand into a pair of jeans is irresistible.
10 – Roll a button-down shirt up to the elbows
Among the things men don’t even realize are attractive, this came in first place. For some reason, it’s much more exciting with a button-down shirt than, say, a sweater, maybe because you’re sort of saying, “Yes, I’m a professional man with his life together, but I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty if need be…”.
11 – The “soft eyes” look
Much of what men are told is attractive revolves around being ” dominant ” and “assertive”. And while these can, indeed, be good qualities, one of the most positive responses is when you look at her with eyes that suddenly resemble tiny puddles. No wonder women are more marked by men with more “feminine characteristics” for long-term relationships.
12 – Wear a pretty sweater
It seems intuitive, but women like to ogle a muscular man in a snug, comfortable sweater in the same way that men like to ogle Emily Ratajkowski in a swimsuit. Maybe Victoria’s Secret winter catalogs have instilled in women the idea that it’s attractive, or maybe it’s just exciting because it’s cuddly and protective.
13 – Stand-up stretching
When a man stretches and his shirt rides up so that the V-shape of his pelvis is barely visible, it’s even better than being completely shirtless.
14 – Offer your coat
The difference between being “chivalrous” and “condescending” lies in tone and body language. If you’ve done something for a woman in a condescending way, it’s not attractive. But when you do it just to be nice, it is. On several topics, many women have noted that there’s something charming and intimate about a man putting on his coat and brushing his hair before venturing out into the cold. Don’t go too far with Prince Charming moves like kissing his hand. Remember: being a modern gentleman is about making her feel good, not looking good.
15 – Fix something
In a huge thread about things men do that they don’t know are sexy, one Reddit user wrote: “I’m just practical. It drives me crazy when my [boyfriend] fixes something chosen or puts something together.”
And don’t miss the rest of the 15 other actions that make you so sexy…
