1. Beauty
Men want women who are beautiful. Of course, you don't have to look like a model to be beautiful-just be the best version of you and focus on your positive attributes. If you have beautiful eyes, accentuate them. If you have great legs, show them off. If you have amazing hair, make sure you wear it down. Hopefully you see where I'm going here. Work with what you have!

2. Brains, Brains, Brains

Intelligence is sexy, and men are captivated by smart women. You don't need an MBA from Harvard Business School to be considered smart (if you do have one, kudos to you). Instead, you should be aware of what's going on in the world-read the news, watch CNN, and be in the know. Men are intrigued by women who challenge them and bring something to the table.

3. Body Confidence
Men like women who are fit and in good shape, but they also love curves. Basically, as long as you can wear your clothes with confidence, you're golden.

4. A Zen Lifestyle
Leading a balanced lifestyle is important. Men enjoy dating someone who can balance their job, family, friends, and a relationship, and they're drawn to women who are independent. They like women who are down to Earth and aren't drama queens.
