Every man wants to be attractive and appealing to women. But what do good-looking men have that others don't, and what do women look for? Ultimately, inner qualities count too, and not just looks, yet women, like men, first pay attention to the visual appeal that has to catch their eye before they take a closer look at someone's inner qualities and even get to know them at all.

Good-looking men — which traits make men good-looking to women?

As the current trend for bearded men with as long a man-bun as possible shows, particularly masculine-looking men seem to count as good-looking men. Strong, well-defined facial features, a well-trained body, and full hair seem to characterize good-looking men just as much as a height that towers over the woman in any case. Just as men are hunters by nature and want to win a woman over, women like to be won over by the visibly "stronger" sex too.

A man who already looks like he'd collapse if he had to carry his beloved over the threshold probably doesn't fall into the category of good-looking men. Many women find an athletic, well-built male body very attractive. Here women pay particular attention to a firm behind, muscular hips, toned thighs, but also muscular upper arms and a strong torso.

A man should simply embody the fact that he can also get his hands dirty. Many women prefer men with noticeable body hair and a strong beard, because this subconsciously signals to women that he is very masculine and fertile. Likewise, a deep male voice comes across as more attractive to women than a high or squeaky one.

Good-looking men — have rather slight, slender, and short men now lost out?

Don't worry — even if a man wasn't blessed by nature with a lush beard and well-packed muscles, a rather slight or short-statured man can still do plenty to fall into the category of good-looking men too, because even small men can come out on top if they have the right charisma and a strong character. But even on the outside, slighter men can do quite a bit to present an attractive appearance.

Good-looking men absolutely need to be well-groomed and pleasant-smelling for women, even if the rugged type of man wins over the most women's hearts. No woman wants a man who has more cosmetics in his bathroom cabinet than she does and smells like an entire perfume counter, but a man, despite a rugged and masculine look, must under no circumstances come across as unkempt. He absolutely needs a well-groomed appearance, and his hairstyle should sit right. Women also value good-looking men for having their own style with a recognizable signature.

It's not just women who should have their very own style — men, too, should know how best to dress to skillfully showcase their strengths. That's why a man can score points with women through his own style, once he knows how to present himself best with his own way of dressing. Shoes shouldn't be neglected either — women pay more attention to them than men might think. Which shoes and clothes a man chooses says a great deal about him to women.
