When it comes to dating, physical appearance is often the first step in bringing together a couple. Beauty is subjective, and everyone has their own preferences, so there is no template for the “perfect guy”. That said, there are five manly features women love most of the time, so if you can do something to improve in these areas, you should.
Keep in mind that being nice to look at will get you to the batter’s box, but in order to get on base you still need to exhibit other high value qualities.
A symmetrical and well-proportioned face
Studies have shown that symmetrical and well-proportioned faces are considered more attractive to women. This includes facial features such as a strong jawline, high cheekbones, and a balanced nose and chin. If you’re subpar in this area, what can you do? For starters, if you’re overweight, lose some LB’s. By losing weight, your face starts to appear more chiseled and defined.
Additionally, take notice of whether or not you are “mouth breathing”, and if you are, stop. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Over time, this creates a more defined facial structure. One trick to create more facial definition is to rest your tongue on the roof of your mouth. This creates muscular support and overall better facial posture and help to eliminate double chin.
Features Women Love: A fit and toned physique
A fit and toned physique is often considered attractive to women. Notwithstanding, you do not need to be shredded like Zac Efron or bulked up like the Rock to meet this qualification. Rather, take care of yourself, minimize your body fat, and maintain good physical shape overall. Shoulders, arms and abs are three body parts women tend to recognize, so if you can emphasize these areas in your diet and exercise routine, show them extra love.
As you create your workout plan. keep “shoulder to hip ratio” in mind.
Shoulder-to-hip ratio (SHR) is a measure comparing circumference at the shoulders with circumference at the waist. SHR is calculated by taking the shoulder circumference and dividing it by the waist circumference. A higher SHR means there’s a bigger circumference around the shoulders than the waist.
As a result, higher SHR suggests more muscle around the shoulders (such as the biceps, deltoids and pecs) than there is fat around the belly. A lower SHR is the opposite, suggesting more fat around the belly. For men, the ideal SHR is 1.6, meaning the circumference of the shoulders is 1.6 times the waist circumference. A SHR below 1.6 can either suggest the waist is bigger than it should be, or shoulders are narrower than they should be, or a combination of both.

A healthy head of hair
A healthy head of hair is one of the manly features women love. This includes a full head of hair, with a good hairline, and hair that is well-groomed and styled. Try to keep it looking clean, meaning regular haircuts or shape ups.
If you have begun to lose your hair like 33% of American men, consider three options. First, if you’re committed to keeping it, a hair transplant is not a bad idea. However, if you want to lean into what God gave you, shave it all off and go with the Jason Statham look. It’s better to own it with confidence than to have patchy spots.
If you’re not comfortable being fully bald, many guys are opting for stubble tattoos on their domes. That’s right; tattoo artists will ink the appearance of tightly trimmed stubble so you don’t look totally bald.
Grooming and hygiene
Looking and smelling “clean” are essential for any man aiming to make a good impression. This includes things like showering regularly, brushing teeth, and keeping facial hair well-groomed. When you demonstrate attention to detail, people take you more seriously and view you as disciplined.
While the above attributes may be considered attractive by many women, ultimately, it’s a person’s character, personality, and compatibility that truly matters in a long-term relationship. Be confident in yourself and focus on being the best version of yourself.
Confidence is One of the Manly Features Women Love
Confidence is one of the most attractive qualities a man can possess. A man who is comfortable in his own skin and carries himself with confidence is often seen as more attractive to women. Your confidence can be displayed through body language, eye contact, and a strong sense of self.
To physically convey confidence, stand with your shoulders back, and imagine your head being held up by a string. This will create good posture and emphasize the manly features of your physique. Avoid slouching, and instead tighten your abs and raise your chin.
When standing upright, take up space. Spread your legs a bit, and hold your arms at your sides or on your hips. Avoid closed, insecure body language and instead convey a sense of openness and balance.
In conclusion, physical appearance plays a large role in attraction, but it’s not the only thing that matters. Confidence, a fit and toned physique, a symmetrical and well-proportioned face, a healthy head of hair and good grooming and hygiene are the top five physical attributes that women look for in male partners. However, it’s a person’s character, personality and compatibility that truly matters in a long-term relationship.
