Since the dawn of time, men have wanted to know the secret of how to attract women.

Let's be honest, gents – it's a complicated issue to which there isn't a definitive answer. So what's a stylish man to do? Keep striking out with women until he gets it right?

Of course not. Though no two women are the same, there is a set of personality types that most women will fall for. You've just got to work out which one you are!

In today's article, we're covering:

• Affectionate Dog Owner
• The High-Status Man
• Silver Fox
• The Gym Guy
• Adventurer
• Comedian
• The Bad Boy

Types Of Attractive Guy #1 Affectionate Dog Owner

This may not come as a surprise to many of you, but puppies are a hit.

The University of Michigan presented 100 women with images of men described as scumbags (cads) and those described as caretakers (dads).

Though dads were initially preferred, cads dominated when they were shown owning a dog – even against dads who owned pups!

Reddit is absolutely teeming with women who feel the same way. The consensus is that men who own dogs are generally perceived to be great caretakers no matter what.

How to attract women? Own a dog. Don't get a puppy for the sake of dating – but if you already own one, post a few pictures!

Types Of Attractive Guy #2 High-Status Man

The guy who dresses well and owns everything a man could want and more.

Evidence for this comes from the British Journal of Psychology. Women were presented with photos of the same man next to a Bentley Continental GT, and a Red Ford Fiesta.

Unsurprisingly, the guy with the Bentley won out.

Men's status has more to do with cars, though. Social media yields unparalleled evidence of women's opinions on style.

Even if a stylish man isn't a millionaire, the ladies tend to stick around.

Why? Stylish men are a rare commodity.

Types Of Attractive Guy #3 The Silver Fox

It's called the George Clooney Effect.

A group of Scottish psychologists from Abertay University found that as women make more money, they focus more on male attractiveness.

However, they consistently preferred an older, well-kept man; the elusive silver fox.

This is great for you gentlemen with greying hair that take good care of yourselves. Youth does not determine sex appeal, but grooming habits and style do.

So, there's no need to be ashamed of your gray hairs. In fact, it's probably a good idea to show them off as much as possible – after all, women love a mature man.

Types Of Attractive Guy #4 The Gym Guy

Surprise, surprise – muscular men are hot.

But there's a caveat…

UCLA conducted a study way back in 2007 in which women assessed a few shirtless guys.

Yes, they rated beefcakes to be hotter, but ONLY for very short-term relationships. We're talking about a one-night stand.

Muscular men are objectified, and the more skin they show, the worse it gets. In order to mitigate this, make sure to use your clothing to your advantage.

Use well-fitted clothes in order to show off that body while leaving it to the imagination.

Types Of Attractive Guy #5 The Adventurer

Want to know how to attract women? A 2014 study determined that you need to take a few risks.

No, forgetting to fasten your seat belt is not what I'm talking about.

The ladies love what the study called “hunter-gatherer risks.” These are hobbies and sports which carry a primordial vibe and show that you're not afraid of a little bit of danger.

Anything from handling dangerous animals, partaking in extreme sports like sky-diving to hobbies such as mountain-climbing show that you're a guy who likes to live on the edge – which women freaking love.

This is great news if you already fancy yourself an adventurer. However, it doesn't mean you should go out of your way to risk your life. It might impress the ladies, but what use is attraction when you're lying in a hospital bed?

Types Of Attractive Guy #6 The Comedian

When it comes to how to attract women, funny guys reign supreme.

This comes from a 2015 study that had men and women come together for 10 minutes. As the couples got to know each other, laughter played an integral role in relationship potential.

In later interviews, the women would always consider the guy who made them laugh for a long-term relationship.

Laughter is also a clear indicator of relationship success. Couples who laugh together are happier together.

Don't get me wrong – there are times when a more serious attitude to life is essential. However, if you know how to make your woman laugh chances are she's going love you more for it.

Types Of Attractive Guy #7 The Bad Boy

Bad boys are cool… for a day.

Here's the deal: Many men are cursed with the dark triad of personality traits:

• Narcissism: when all you can think of is yourself.
• Psychopathy: comprising a lack of empathy and erratic behavior.
• Machiavellianism: encompassing ruthlessness and duplicity.

NONE of these are good – they just work in the short term. In fact, they lend themselves to terrible relationship performance… for the very same reasons listed above.

At the end of the day, this is about science, and it's terribly short-lived. Do women love a man who's edgy and excitingly ‘bad'? Yes, at a first glance. But no woman wants this in the long term, after all, a bad boy isn't the sort of man who would make a great father.

It's up to you how you approach the complex web of attraction. If you want my advice, I'd rather you try anything besides option 7.
