Of course, the word "attractiveness" is still in the eye of the beholder and depends very individually on personal taste. One woman likes blond attractive men, while the second prefers dark-haired ones. And the next one likes brunettes.

That also applies to various other visual aspects. Some prefer short hair, others long. Beards are totally in style right now - but that doesn't mean that EVERY woman necessarily has to like them. But what things are considered, on average, particularly attractive and desirable in men?

Attractive men: muscular and tanned

Considered especially attractive: decent muscles, as little belly fat as possible, a sun-tanned complexion, closely cropped hair with a bit of gel and a nice, subtle beard. That's the classic profile of a particularly attractive man! But this description is also often served up as a cliché. We all often see those "attractive" men on billboards, ads or as the face of a brand. It's understandable that many a woman goes weak at the knees at these apparitions and puts together a dream guy in her head. Reality, however, mostly looks different. Probably every man struggles with at least one or more "flaws" that make him not look quite so perfect in real life. A nose that's too big, pimples, a little belly or hair loss quickly "disfigure" the ideal image of a dream man. It's important to stand by yourself and not let yourself be influenced unnecessarily by sometimes unrealistic ideals. In the worst case, this can lead to serious inferiority complexes. After all, we're all individual when it comes to looks. And that's a good thing. If we were all the same, it would probably get boring quickly. Especially because tastes are so different, too.

Attractive men: grooming has to be right

An attractive man isn't defined only by abs and height. A very decisive factor that most women find irresistible is, above all, personal hygiene. Clean fingernails, a well-groomed beard, a nice haircut and tidy clothes are the be-all and end-all when it comes to impressing a woman. Body odor should also be kept in mind - very few women are into the smell of sweat! A regular shower, a roll-on deodorant or the right cologne can work wonders here!

Attractive men: a great character

Attractiveness isn't defined by looks alone. Character has to be right, too. Who on earth wants a superficial, selfish macho as a partner? A sympathetic ear, loving words, regular compliments, small romantic gestures now and then and reliability are the most important character traits that attractive men should definitely bring along. Even if some men find it rather cheesy and outdated. Women love romance and want to feel looked after. That's why attractive gentlemen should regularly make an effort to live up to their partner.
