How to Attract Any Woman

Sex eyes? Check.

Don’t want to leave the bar empty handed this weekend? Practice your smoldering look before heading out with the guys.
Gazing at a woman with your eyelids lowered makes you look like a more appealing candidate for a short-term fling, says a study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences. 

Researchers had over 230 subjects look at a series of images—a guy with closed eyelids, a guy with lowered eyelids, and a guy with raised eyelids. The results: Men who had raised eyelids were considered more trusting and better suited for long-term relationships. Lowered lids were associated with short-term sexual relationships and risky behaviors, says Daniel Kruger, Ph.D., study author and evolutionary psychologist at the University of Michigan.

But having a staring contest with some hot chick across the room may not be the best way to reel her in. Instead, check out these three things than can make you instantly more approachable.

Enlist a Furry Wingman
Your secret weapon next time you hit the great outdoors: Your dog. Not only do you appear more approachable with Fido by your side, you appear more likeable. In a study from Anthrozoos, subjects even said that people with dogs appeared more approachable, relaxed looking, and happier when compared to people standing with flowers.

Stop Speed-Walking
“Women look first at your attire and second at how you walk,” says R. Don Steele, author of Body Language Secrets: A Guide During Courtship & Dating. So make sure to slow your roll. “Confident people are not in a hurry,” says Steele. “But there’s a difference between meandering and walking slowly with purpose. Always walk as if you know what you’re doing and where you’re going.”

Once you’re positioned within her gaze, here is where a slightly closed-eyed, sexy look is appropriate. Once you’ve locked eyes, without using words, put the offer on the table. Shoot her a smile, raise your drink slightly as if to “say hello” from across the room, and (if she’s into you) she should be strolling your way in no time.


Tell a Sarcastic Joke
Individuals who appear to have a good sense of humor come off as more approachable and relaxed, says a study conducted by researchers from Qatar University. And since women love men with a good sense of humor—draw her toward you by making everyone else around you laugh.
As for what to say when she’s within ears reach, keep it witty. Women are most attracted to men who use dry, sarcastic humor, and least attracted to guys with a dark or vulgar sense of humor, according to a survey from eHarmony.
