15 Men Confess The Things Women Do That Make Them Fall In Love
We all want to know what guys find attractive about us, but chances are, most of the time we're left totally and utterly confused. Yeah, we know the way that we're supposed to look and act, at least according to what we see in the movies, but that's not really realistic and doesn't work for our actual lives. We don't want to be 100 percent perfect -- we just want to be ourselves. And we want to find someone who loves us exactly as we are.
Sometimes that can seem like a dream since we've all been on bad dates, but there are a lot of good guys out there, and when we find them, they like us because we're totally ourselves and we're not trying to be anyone else. So what do guys find truly adorable and attractive about us? We figured we should go straight to the source. Check out what 15 men say about the one thing women do that makes them weak in the knees. We hand picked these confessions from reddit the one place men go to tell the honest truth, so we know these are legit.
15 "That thing where she rests her head on your chest and looks up at you adoringly like you're Superman… Because in that moment you feel like you are."
Awwww. Isn't that just the cutest thing that we've ever heard?! This guy answered a thread on Reddit about adorable small things that women do, and we think that this is a great answer. We love that this guy referenced Superman. When we really like a guy, that's definitely what we think about him. To us, he's the coolest, sweetest, smartest, funniest, and of course, most attractive guy that we've ever dated.
We're glad to hear that guys like it when we rest our heads on their chests because, let's face it, this is something that we all love to do. There's nothing greater than spending all day lounging around with the person that we're into. It's truly the best. Now that we know how much guys love this, we're never going to stop resting our heads on their chests. Sounds like a plan to us.
14 "A woman who always smiles. There's nothing more attractive than a woman who's smiling all the time."
We love that this guy confessed this on Reddit because we love when a guy smiles all the time. We especially love it when the guy that we like smiles at us. It's like we're the most special person in the world and he's only looking at us and there's just no one else around. Total heaven, right?
It's nice to hear that "there's nothing more attractive" than smiling. It's such a pure, sweet, innocent thing that guys would like about us. We love that this guy didn't say that a girl wearing skimpy clothing or telling dirty jokes is the most attractive thing ever, because although of course a lot of people find that stuff attractive, that's probably not what most of us are into. This is just so adorable.
13 "Putting their hand daintily on my forearm or bicep. Game over, man."
This is both sweet and hilarious, which makes it one of the best male confessions ever. There are two amazing things happening here. The first is that this guy is clearly thinking that he has really awesome, toned forearms and biceps since he probably works out all the time. Sorry but we just have to laugh (in a good way). It's just so funny when guys brag about all of the hours that they log at the gym.
The second thing happening here is that this guy likes when a girl touches his arm "daintily." That's also pretty hilarious. We never really hear that word, do we? We should. It's a pretty good word. Let's agree to use that word a lot more often. And let's agree to all behave in a more dainty fashion since apparently that's super attractive.
12 "Somebody who you can talk to really easily. Where you don't have to try very hard and the conversation just flows really easily and really naturally. It's nice when a girl's attractive but if you can't talk to her you can only go so far."
Oh man. We love this confession so much. We couldn't possibly love it even more. This guy talked about this on Thought Catalog and we have to admit that we didn't know that guys felt this way, too. We definitely want to find a guy that we can talk to for hours and hours at a time. When we meet someone like that, we're always amazed and it feels like magic. We almost don't want to tell our BFFs because we don't want to jinx it.
This just proves how tough dating normally is. When we're with someone that we can be ourselves with and talk about anything, we realize that we've never really had this before. It's something to treasure and hold onto tightly. We also appreciate that this guy wants to date a pretty girl but knows that personality is a key thing, too.
11 "Wearing my shirts."
We can thank Reddit for this confession once again. Sure, this might not be the most original thing that we've ever heard, and we probably know that most guys talk about loving when their girlfriends wear their shirts. It's kind of a thing. It's especially a thing the morning after, of course.
It's nice to know that when we've stayed over at our boyfriend's place and forgot to pack a change of clothes or maybe it was last minute, we can wear his t-shirt and not worry about looking ridiculous. Okay, so we might still worry a little bit, because we're girls and we can't really turn that off. But at least now we can be secure in the knowledge that he finds it really attractive.
10 "Ponytails. Then releasing them. Sigh."
Thanks again, Reddit. Apparently it's really great when we wear ponytails. Who knew?! We definitely didn't. We probably all thought that having really long hair was the best way to go. That's always what we hear that men are into.
Now we're questioning everything that we ever knew (or thought that we knew) because it sounds like ponytails are the way to go. If we want to impress a guy, we're going to go with a ponytail. We're going to wear our hair like this on the first date, the second date, and beyond. We're never going to wear our hair another way. That was a lie. We will. Because ponytails can kind of hurt our hair after a while. But we'll give it the old college try since guys love it so much.
9 "When they sneeze and it makes a really high pitched squeak. I don't know why, but it is so cute."
This is one of those gems that we find when we start looking into what guys really think about girls. Of course we've sneezed in front of guys before. It would be kind of weird if we hadn't. We probably always feel a bit embarrassed or feel like our sneezes are too loud or too strange. It's not like we can control what our sneezes sound like (although it would be super cool if we could… ) so this is just another thing to worry about.
According to this guy, who confessed this on Reddit, this is not something that we should stress about. Especially not if our sneezes are high pitched and squeaky. It's so funny that he likes this, but hey, to each their own. It does sound kind of cute.
8 "A girl who doesn't need to go on fancy dates all the time. Someone who's comfortable hanging out on the couch and drinking beer."
This Thought Catalog confession makes us so happy. Honestly, all we want to do the majority of the time is hang out on the couch. Maybe we like beer, maybe some of us aren't so into it, so we could replace the beer with wine or whatever else we want. But the general idea is the same. We want to sit on the couch and watch Netflix and chill out.
If we can do this with the person that we're into, all the better. It's total bliss. Whether we're talking, binge-watching something amazing, or making out, we're having the best time. We're not sure how many girls really want fancy dates. They're kind of lame. Who wants to get all dressed up and spend way too much money? That just makes it more about going out and spending money instead of actually spending time with the person that we like.
7 "When she makes my friends laugh."
Thanks to Thought Catalog, we now have some very important information, and we're so glad. We always knew that it was a big deal if we got along with our boyfriend's friends and now we know that it's an even bigger deal than we thought. If his friends think that we suck, that's totally going to influence him. But apparently there's more to the story than that.
He wants us to be so funny that we make his friends laugh. If we're already hilarious people, which hopefully we are because funny people are so much better, then it's a piece of cake to make them laugh. If we make him laugh, then we can make his pals laugh too, right? How hard can that really be?
6 "A girl who has ambition and doesn't feel weird about it."
Oh we are feeling so much right now. To the guy who confessed to this Thought Catalog: thank you. Thank you so much. Seriously. From the bottom of our hearts.
The truth is that when we're ambitious and want to work hard in our careers, it can be really difficult to meet guys who are totally cool with it. That shouldn't the case and it's totally and completely ridiculous that it is. But that's what happens. Some people can't deal with it and think that we're bragging or trying to make them feel like losers or whatever issues they're bringing to the table. We always suspected that our ambition made us more attractive, and now we just have the proof to really and truly believe this. So happy.
5 "When she brings up a very small detail that I once mentioned in passing very matter-of-factly, as though she takes everything I say genuinely and seriously. (And more important, that she listens, even to the small, stupid stuff.)"
Of course we do this. We all do this. When we like a guy, we remember the things that he says to us, and if he's saying really cute and sweet stuff, we're probably going to play it over and over again in our minds. We can't help it. It's just what we do.
It shouldn't be a surprise to guys that we like listening to them and remembering what they say. We figure that they do the same thing when we like us just as much as we like them. We think that this Thought Catalog confession is super adorable and we're so glad that we have this knowledge. It just inspires us to be even better listeners when we're hanging out with the object of our affection.
4 "I love it when she's always really happy to see me. Like when she gives me a big huge or smiles a lot when we see each other. It just makes me even more excited to be around her."
Awww… again. This was part of a thread on Reddit and truly makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. We've all felt this way about someone and it's nice to know that guys think this way, too.
When we're dating someone and it's all new and exciting, we can't believe our luck. It just seems like things are finally looking up in our lives. When we finally see them, we're overcome with happiness because we probably hated being apart. Yeah, our friends might make fun of us for acting like this, but hey, we're not ashamed. We're totally into this guy and this is just how we feel. It's not like we can turn our feelings off. We can't help but give him a massive hug and smile at him like a crazy person as soon as we see him again, so it's nice to know that this is cute.
3 "I love it when girls reach for things on high shelves that are a little bit out of their reach."
This Reddit confession is pretty hilarious if any of us are small or short. This is literally the story of our lives. We can't ever reach anything on high shelves (and maybe not even on medium shelves… ) but it's not like we want to ask guys to get stuff for us all the time. Ugh. That's not feminist. We can totally reach for our winter scarves at the top of our closet or get out that baking sheet that we never use from the very top of our cabinets.
We're not trying to be cute or attractive or anything when we do this. We just can't really reach the stuff so we have to stand on our tiptoes and try really hard. Again, it's nice to know that this is cute. Now we can now do this in front of our boyfriends and feel cute. Everyone wants to feel cute, right?
2 "My girlfriend likes to be the big spoon. I'm 6'1" and she's 5'5". It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside."
Cuddling is very serious business. Are we the little spoon or the big spoon? No, it's not a joke, even if it sounds like one. It's a big deal. We have to figure it out and fast. We have to claim our identity before we can even think about cuddling in bed with our boyfriends.
Traditionally, guys are the big spoons and girls are the little ones, since we're usually much smaller than the guy that we're dating. It just makes sense. Cuddling is very logical along with being super serious. We can thank Reddit for this adorable confession that this guy's girlfriend is all about being the big spoon even though he's bigger than her. We love it. They sound like the sweetest couple ever.
1 "Just text me during the day to say i hope you're having a good day."
After reading through these confessions, we're never going to say that girls are more sensitive, emotional, sentimental, or romantic than guys. How could we? We have so much evidence that guys can be so sweet and that they care about the things that we care about. It's truly eye-opening and it's like a whole new world.
We love getting a text message from our boyfriend asking how our day is going or just saying hi. It's the sweetest thing ever and it's just so great to know that he's thinking about us, even when we're apart. We're always thinking about him, and we assume that he feels the same way, but it's always nice to have some solid evidence. This guy, who confessed this on Reddit, loves when a girl texts to say she hopes that he's having a good day. If any of us are not super big on texting, this should definitely change our mind and we should definitely text our BFs this right now. It may be a small thing, but it totally makes guys weak.
