What do confident, fulfilled women find attractive in men?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We attract people who are similar to us. For example, if you\u2019re a couch potato, you\u2019re unlikely to draw the attention of a fitness nut. Even if you do get attracted to each other, you won\u2019t have enough in common to sustain a relationship. Therefore, to attract high-value women, you must become a high-value man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, here&#8217;s how to attract a high-value woman, according to Mark Manson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-become-physically-desirable\"><strong>Become Physically Desirable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in how to attract a high-value woman is to <strong>become physically desirable<\/strong> to the women you want. Start by focusing on your wardrobe: Wear coordinated clothes that fit you well, since these will make you look polished and presentable. These clothes should match your lifestyle; a city slicker in hiking boots looks ridiculous. Then, review your diet and gym routine. Exercising regularly and cutting out junk food from your diet will improve your looks quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-unplugged-alpha\"><em>The Unplugged Alpha<\/em><\/a>, Richard Cooper makes more specific recommendations regarding how to make yourself more physically desirable to women. Even clothes that match your lifestyle and each other won\u2019t look good unless they\u2019re fitted, so look for clothes that include some spandex and are labeled \u201cfitted.\u201d And when improving your fitness via diet and exercise, aim for a 1.62 ratio between your shoulder width and your hip width; this is the proportion that most women find attractive.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manson suggests that changing how you carry yourself and how you speak will also improve your physical attractiveness. When you walk, you should straighten your back, keep your head up, and look people in the eye. When you speak, you should lower your voice, slow your speech, and raise your volume: People should be able to hear you easily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Why does changing your posture and how you speak make you more attractive? It may be because both convey greater confidence. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/12-rules-for-life\/\"><em>12<\/em> <em>Rules for Life<\/em><\/a>, Jordan Peterson suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/12-rules-for-life\/rule-1#how-body-language-affects-your-social-status\">changing your body language\u2014such as by straightening your back and keeping your head up\u2014signals to others that you\u2019re higher-status<\/a>, and so they\u2019ll treat you accordingly. Similarly, other experts add that lowering your voice, slowing your speech, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicknotas.com\/blog\/how-to-develop-a-confident-attractive-voice\/\">raising your volume all convey greater confidence<\/a>\u2014partly because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themuse.com\/advice\/the-7-best-tricks-to-sounding-confident-even-when-youre-not\">they imply greater authority<\/a>.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-develop-your-own-interests\"><strong>Develop Your Own Interests<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, you must <strong>develop your own interests<\/strong>. Manson emphasizes that attractive men have rich lives. Not only do they have varied hobbies, but they also know <em>why<\/em> they like what they like because they developed their tastes on their own instead of inheriting them from their friends. So expose yourself to various pursuits\u2014and as you do so, think critically about<em> <\/em>why you like (or dislike) each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/306369\/168-hours-by-laura-vanderkam\/\"><em>168 Hours<\/em><\/a>, Laura Vanderkam also recommends exposing yourself to various pursuits. However, she doesn\u2019t recommend this in the context of attracting women\u2014rather, Vanderkam recommends that you try many different things so that you can discover what you most enjoy and can thus fill your time pursuing whatever\u2019s meaningful to you. Specifically, Vanderkam suggests that you create a list of 100 things to do before you die, and then that you start doing anything cheap and easy from the list. The more things you try, the more you\u2019ll discover what you like and why you like it\u2014and the better able you\u2019ll be to spend time on things that matter to you.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019ve cultivated a rich life and various interests, think about the kind of woman you want and how to meet her. Manson recommends that you envision your ideal woman: What is she like, and where does she hang out? Then review your own interests: Which hobby of yours could you pursue in a way that helps you meet the women you want? For example, if you like to read and want a well-read woman, you could join a book club.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Manson assumes that your ideal woman shares your hobbies. But in<em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/how-to-not-die-alone\/\"><em>How to Not Die Alone<\/em><\/a>, Ury explains that sharing hobbies is not an important component of a successful long-term relationship\u2014as long as you both allow each other to pursue your own interests independently. Rather, Ury recommends that you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/how-to-not-die-alone\/1-page-summary#what-you-should-be-looking-for\">look for women who <em>complement<\/em> you<\/a>. For example, if you\u2019re an introvert, look for someone who\u2019ll pull you out of your shell.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve discovered how to pursue this hobby, start doing so and <strong>become a leader in that environment<\/strong>. Manson explains that, by nature, humans view you as higher-status if others <em>also<\/em> view you as high-status. However, this status is environment-dependent. For example, a famous Chinese celebrity might walk unknown through the streets of San Francisco\u2014until he arrives in Chinatown, where people recognize him. So if you want the women you like to view you as high-status, you should take on a status-boosting position in the place where you meet them. Using our previous example, you wouldn\u2019t just join the book club; you might become the guy who decides where the book club happens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If you\u2019re a heterosexual woman trying to attract men using Manson\u2019s advice, taking on a leadership position to boost your status within your hobby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/the-modern-heart\/201912\/status-boosts-men-s-attraction-beautiful-women\">may have mixed results depending on your physical appearance<\/a>. Studies suggest that men\u2019s interest in fairly attractive women decreases if those women are high-status. However, men\u2019s interest in extremely attractive women increases if those women are high-status.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s the key to attracting high-value women?
