The top 10 guy skills women actually think are attractive

Some guys walk into a room, and it’s not their face or height that women notice, but instead, the specific things they can actually do.

The wine list

Look at how he acts after the wine list appears. Does he freeze? Does he order the most expensive bottle? That’s not how attractive guys behave. They actually look comfortable. He asks a question. He looks at the food. 

Then, he picks something that actually fits with it. He understands wine. Women like that. It feels easy, no pretending or showing off, and it makes him a lot more attractive. He’s got a subtle kind of confidence.

The glass trick

All it takes is fifteen seconds. Then, you know whether a guy knows what he’s doing with drinks. Some guys pour whiskey into anything. They’ll call it a drink. But then other guys know how much the glass matters. They’re careful with the ice. They’re careful with shaking it, too.

No, that doesn’t mean every woman’s an alcoholic. The alcohol isn’t really the important part. It’s the precision that mixologists have when they’re pouring a drink, and that’s what women really notice.

The mirror check

You could spend a fortune on your clothes. You might still look like you’ve borrowed them. What really counts is wearing clothes with a good fit. It might be dark jeans and clean sneakers. It might be a jacket.

The price tag doesn’t really matter. It’s wearing stuff that works with your shape, and that doesn’t feel like a clash of colors, which really counts. A well-dressed man looks more attractive.

The kitchen moment

What he does in the kitchen matters. He’s already chopping onions, and he’s tasting the sauce. He doesn’t need a recipe. Why? Because he knows exactly what he’s doing. It doesn’t matter that he forgot where he put the spatula.

Dinner still works out. But it’s got to be real food. Not microwave stuff. An attractive guy is someone who can make a real meal with pasta, steak, whatever. He knows what he’s doing in the kitchen.

The road test

Driving is another thing women notice. They see it in traffic. They see it in the rain. Sure, there are those guys who grip the wheel like they’re holding on for dear life. Other guys just handle it.

They’re calm when they’re cut off. Women pick up on that. In fact, guys who drive poorly come across as less attractive to women. They really care about how guys move.

The relaxing skill

Here’s one of the more subtle skills. It’s one where a guy notices your shoulders are tight. He tells you to ‘come here.’ He actually knows what he’s doing with his hands. No random squeezes. 

He knows how to massage properly, and he knows how much it helps out. Guys who understand where the tension really is? Guys who know how to get rid of it, instead of just guessing? Now that’s an attractive guy.

The second voice

Speaking two languages is pretty impressive. Women know that. They like hearing a guy order in Spanish without thinking. They like hearing a man speak to someone’s loved ones in French. It shows that he’s clued up.

He knows about other cultures, and he tries to understand them. However, he’s not trying to be flashy or anything. But the fact that he knows other languages counts. It’s difficult, and women like that.

The rhythm problem

Dancing’s a funny one. You’ll know in a minute whether a guy can do it. Men who can dance are pretty attractive. However, that doesn’t mean they’re doing flips. They’re not trying to steal the spotlight. They’re relaxed, and their bodies move naturally to the rhythm.

They’re enjoying themselves. A lot of women care about that. Yes, guys with more movement variety and better upper-body control usually come off as more attractive. He doesn’t have to be an expert or anything. Just comfortable. 

The room thing

Sure, public speaking sounds boring. But then you see a guy do it really well. It’s hard to ignore. He could be giving a toast, or he could be introducing himself to a group. It doesn’t matter. He does it without notes, and he’s got everyone eating out of the palm of his hand.

Many women like that. Most people hate speaking in public, so it matters when a guy’s the opposite. A guy who can talk clearly and make eye contact? A guy who seems comfortable when all eyes are on him? They’ll remember him.

The close-up

Some guys think confidence’s important in kissing. Women usually disagree. They say awareness is way more important. No, he doesn’t need to charge in with his lips, like in the movies. He needs to notice the pace. He needs to be aware of both people’s breathing.

He needs to know when to slow down. It turns out, women pick up on that almost immediately. They decide a lot about a guy from one kiss. Intensity is nowhere near as important as connection when you’re locking lips.
