Top 10 tips to attract a man: Which one of these works the best?

[prolesunited]

Just a silly poll based on this article:
http://www.comcast.net/relationships/article.jsp?sub=true

These were the suggestions given in the article. If you're a man, which works best on you? If you're a woman, what has worked for you?

Unfortunately, you can only vote once in the poll. But, feel free to elaborate on your top three or five in your response.

On edit: This poll is meant for amusement purposes only.

1. How about "Don't hate guys"?

There's too many people in general who have "attitudes" about members of their attractive sex, women and men alike.

If a woman likes me, and makes the effort to get to know me, that's a lot sexier than any kind of "appearance" she makes.

3. Ah! The key phrase!

And the good folks at Match-dot-com were kind enough to put it in the very first sentence:

Once your loser boyfriend left your life ...

Maybe the boyfriend wasn't the loser, eh?

Between the "you-go-girl" attitude of female-centric dating advice, and the "how-to-score-with-chicks" attitude of the Manly Men's advice, it's a wonder that anyone gets married anymore.

And when you're miserable enough, you'll give Match-dot-com $250 a year to scan thousands of ads that stipulate their Prince or Princess' financial requirements and body statistics. Period.

I expect human extinction to occur by 2200 at the latest.

4. I certainly hope

that wasn't directed at me because of the strong positions I take here when it comes to women's issues. Was it?

2. Be yourself.

Sometimes men come along when you are not looking, and they are the best ones.

[NightTrain]

22. Bingo!

That's precisely what attracted me to the current object of my affections.

[liberalhistorian]

29. BLUSH.

That's certainly true on both our parts, isn't it, Dean, lol! And just 55 more days until our big weekend! See, I'm counting down the days already.

5. Bashful girls are the worst

The little giggly ones ...like my roommate's GF! I hate her! I mean them!

[prolesunited]

9. Giggly ones?!?!

How old are they? Don't women grow out of that at some point? That would drive me crazy. I was NEVER friends with girls like that, even when I was younger.

6. Interesting topic proles

I always waant to know because whenever I've met someone it always seems by accident and I don't really know what I did.

Now that I want to meet new people, I don't think I really know how. :shrug:

[prolesunited]

7. Well, so far

It seems getting out there and making this first move are popular choices.

8. Don't know. I have several that "want" me

I am married and don't try to attract men. There are a few men at work though that are attracted to me. I wear a uniform like everyone else that isn't exactly flattering so it isn't that. Maybe, I was better off when my male best friend was there and there was a nasty rumor going around. The other guys stayed away. Perhaps, I should speak to my boss about that because some of their comments are making me uncomfortable and I think that they are completely serious. I don't want to be mean because I like some of them on a more friendly level.
These are not men who I would date if I didn't have my husband though. I don't think that most women have trouble attracting a man. The trouble is attracting a desirable man. I am glad that I have my man and don't have to deal with that.
Talking to men and getting to know them in general probably is the best way to land a date with a desirable man. Getting to know them also is a good prescreening tool before a "loser" becomes obsessed with you.

21. Noticed that phenomenon

when I was married. I didn't believe it at first. I couldn't figure it out.

It's like having one gets you others or something. Not that, like you, I would have dated any of these guys to start with. I just thought it was interesting.

[Misinformed01]

10. Best way to attract a man: Don't care

I didn't; was totally happy being single, and doing my own thing--I was never married, and never wanted to be--

I am going to be 40 soon, and even gave up buying the attractive clothes when I was in my late twenties (bought my first pair of heels in over a decade about a week ago..not sure if I can walk in them yet..God, I hope so, otherwise I blew thirty bucks that could have been used for a new pair of birkenstocks :) )

[JanMichael]

30. Yet....Yet you did!

Love you too baby!

BTW I wasn't looking for love either, you just happened to make it happen!

[aQuArius]

11. Sometimes the woman has to make the move

Just take my word on this ;)

[pmbryant]

12. If it weren't for the last option, I'd probably still be single

And smart women are the only ones I've ever been interested in.

:-)

For me, none of the other options are worth mentioning, or in some cases are downright repulsive. So I'm very glad you noted that this is 'for amusement purposes only'. :D

[prolesunited]

13. Just silly nonsense for a Sunday morning

I hope you know me better than that, Peter. :-)

I just pulled the options directly from an article on my ISPs portal and was curious as to how DUers responses would stack up against their suggestions. I'm certainly glad to see that no one suggested "working it" as a viable option.

On edit: I guess somebody did go for work it while I was posting this response. If it was you, care to own up to it? ;-)

[pmbryant]

17. LOL!

That must have been the bizarro-me who voted for that option. :P

--Peter

[prolesunited]

19. Whoops!

When I said you, I didn't mean you specifically but you referring to whoever did it to own up to it.

That would DEFINITELY be bizarro-you to pick that option. :-)

[SOteric]

14. I'll say it again.

Skip the foofie cologne. Rub yourself in bacon.

[prolesunited]

15. LOL!

Is it enough to have the scent on you or do you leave strips hidden in strategic places?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. Go for the strategery

sometimes surprises are good

[supernova]

18. Tee Hee

Does rubbing myself in pork BBQ count? :D

[jmowreader]

25. In North Carolina it does

If you can't snag a man that way, you can always attract a new dog.

Sometimes that's better. I know how men are.

[LastKnight]

23. i think im in love...

IIIIIITSSS BAAAAAAAAAAAAACON!!!!!!!!!!!

-LK

[KG]

16. tell 'em it's 'their loss'

works like a charm. :eyes:

[PVnRT]

24. Let the woman make the move

I'm sick of being the one expected to make an idiot of himself. I think it's time to start spreading the rejection around a bit.

[Southsideirish]

26. Just be nice, be funny , look at good as you can and be friendly.

Look for nice guys, too.

[populistmom]

27. Attracting isn't so much a problem, as attracting who I'd want

I am married, but generally I find an element of sleazy types who do blatantly hit on me regardless. They just don't realize it would take someone way above and beyond sleazy (or even ordinary) to capture my attention. Despite our issues in the past few years, even my spouse is most definately above and beyond the average moron that's out there.

[kodi]

28. to thine own self be true. the rest is just hormones

just be happy. people like happy people.
