Simply Feminine � Surprising Insights from Men by Wonderly, Morgan (best e ink reader for manga .txt) 📗

a serious, unsmiling look as we are to a man with a smile. In fact, men can often look more masculine and appealing to us when they look serious. There is a biological reason for this: we feminine women look to the masculine for security, protection, and support, and this is serious business. Serious business does not require a smile, and we know this intuitively. Think of some attractive male celebrities. Notice how sexy they look when they are seriously focused on their mission or goal. By contrast, a man’s attraction for us is increased when we smile radiantly as we interact with him.

It takes courage to smile at men; it can feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. We may hesitate in smiling at men because we fear it will seem like a come-on. But most men don’t take it that way. Most men see our smile as a compliment, and most will simply smile back.

“A smiling woman will pull men in like a magnet. When a woman smiles, she multiplies her femininity by a factor of ten.”

– Robert

“I feel amazing when a woman smiles at me! It can make my day! Especially if I like her and find her attractive, but it’s also true from almost any woman. I feel blessed, I feel seen, acknowledged, and traversed by a visceral sensation of pleasure, occasionally sexual but not necessarily, rather some kind of divine bliss.

– Paul J.

Men Love Eye Contact with Us

In addition to our smiles, one of the first things men notice about us is our eyes. Our eyes can mesmerize men—especially when we silently speak positive messages such as I like you, I’m attracted to you, I admire you, I trust you. Eye contact is such an intimate gesture. We don’t need to say a word because our eyes speak the truth. Through our eyes, a man can see our warmth—or lack of it. They can see if our eyes are blank, empty, or evasive. They can tell if we’re happy with them by the way our eyes dance and sparkle. Men find mystery and magic behind our eyes. If you want to attract a man, look into his eyes and don’t be afraid to let him see the real you.

Men Love Dresses and Skirts on Us

Wherever you go, if you want to stand out in the sea of women, wear dresses in feminine colors. Men will notice! When it comes to women’s clothing, men say they miss seeing us in dresses and skirts. Many of us have resorted to wearing pants or jeans most of the time, but when we do so, we lessen the difference between men and ourselves. The contrast of wearing a dress while our man is wearing pants makes him feel more masculine when he’s with us.

Men love us to wear dresses so they can admire our legs. The right dress enhances our womanly form better than pants ever could. We also tend to act, walk, and sit in a more ladylike way when we’re wearing a dress or skirt. Men love to observe the movement of our skirts and dresses when we walk. If there’s a slight breeze, our pleated or full skirt flows around our legs in an alluring way.

In choosing dresses or skirts, look for solid colors or soft, subtle prints. Do not wear a bold pattern that camouflages or detracts from the feminine form. Men want to see us as the work of art, not the dress. Stand in front of a mirror wearing the dress and squint. Which do you notice first, your face and figure, or the dress? We want to dress to enhance our form, not to overpower it. Think of selecting a frame for a lovely painting. We would never want to select a frame that outdoes the painting, would we?

For men, we are the focal point. Men appreciate simplicity, without all the embellishments, such as extra pockets, large ruffles, big bows, and extra buttons. Men like women in simple, clean lines and mostly solid colors. They love classic looks similar to that of Kate Middleton’s. One type of dress men love is a simple wraparound dress, which accentuates the waistline and allures in a classy way, without being overtly sexy.

You don’t need to spend your entire paycheck to accomplish this look. What impresses a man is an uncomplicated, simply feminine woman who has a sense of style and grace.

“Women are wearing dresses less, but a nice dress highlights her beauty; dresses might be a luxury that’s been lost.”

– Norman

Men Love Our Curves

It’s important to know that men love curves of all sizes. Some men prefer smaller curves while others prefer larger curves. Nevertheless, the operative word is curves.

Men want to see our hourglass, so accentuating our waistline is the goal. Why do you think women wore corsets in days gone by? It was all about the sought-after hourglass. One way to accentuate our waist is to wear princess-cut tops or dresses that cinch at the waist. We can also achieve this look by wearing form-fitting—not tight—clothing. Vertical ribbing in tops and dresses is another wonderful way of accentuating our curves because the lines trace our form in a subtle way that catches a man’s attention. A word of caution: Don’t wear clothes that are too tight. Wearing a dress that’s too tight can appear cheap or “trampy.” It also gives the appearance that we’re wearing clothes we’ve outgrown from weight gain. Not a pretty sight.

Another way to accomplish the hourglass look is with belts. Choose belts that are on the thinner side. Men say they dislike thick belts and don’t find them feminine because they remind them of a workman’s tool belt or a wrestler’s belt. Choose a belt that matches the dress, or a neutral or complementary color.

“I find models who are too thin to be almost boyish, and not attractive.”

– Mason

“Muscular women don’t look feminine because they’ve lost

their soft curves.”

– John
