Girly Things Men Secretly Love

#1 Sometimes men like to gossip. Other people should know how naughty their wife is!

#2 Many men like to go shopping. But — shh!

#3 Sexy dances are their thing. Especially if they have a couple of drinks beforehand.

#4 Men firmly believe that there’s nothing better after a difficult day than a bubble bath and a glass of wine!

#5 Fluttery Laugh

A hearty, honest, light-up-your-face laugh is what really brings all the boys to the yard. For some guys, it’s one of the most important attributes a girl can have. Chris, a senior at the University of Notre Dame, certainly agrees. “My girlfriend’s laugh and her general sense of humor were incredibly important in determining whether or not we had chemistry when we [started dating],” he says. “[Now] part of the reason I enjoy going to see romantic comedies with her is because I get to hear her laugh nonstop for an hour and a half, which is pure bliss for me.”

Whether you’re laughing at a funny sloth video on YouTube that he shared with you, a hilarious scene in a romantic comedy, or one of his own jokes, a lighthearted laugh will make him swoon.

#6 Play With Hair

Guys can’t resist girls’ luscious locks, whether you’re a ponytail kind of gal or you let it fly free. Jack, a sophomore at the University of Missouri, admits that a girl’s hair can be her unintentional boy magnet. “Playing with the hair in any fashion, whipping the hair… and even just putting your hair behind your ears is really cute,” he says. While we’re not all Pantene models, a strategic hair flip can go a long way.

#7 Closing your eyes for a kiss.

Men especially love it when they lean in for a kiss and, for that split second, they can see you trustingly kiss them with your eyes closed. The same goes for when they break the kiss and you leave your eyes closed for just a few more seconds, like you’re savoring the feeling—and they savor just how exquisite you look.

#8 Sing Along to the Radio

You know that moment when your favorite Mariah Carey song comes on the radio but you’re not sure if it’s “cool” to sing along with your man in the car? Belt it, girl. Sing like you can hit all five octaves just like Mariah. Or at least try to. Oddly enough, singing freely to the radio makes any car ride more enjoyable for your guy.

Jack loves singing with his girlfriend in the car. “When girls sing songs on the radio, even if they have a bad voice, it’s just really cute when you see them sing to the best of their ability,” he says. The combination of your carefree mentality, your commitment to being yourself, and the ability to laugh it off if you’re a little pitchy is what will make a guy fall for you. Look out, Beyoncé! It’s your time to shine… in the car, at least.

#9 Blushing.

Men find blushing girls too cute. Maybe that’s why pick-up lines were invented—to provoke that rosy glow. The sight of you blushing, especially if they caused it, is such a big pat on their backs and it makes them even more drawn to you.

#10 Arching back.

So, you got tired from sitting in your desk, or you just want a good stretch. For you, it’s nothing, but for guys, it’s everything. The sight of you arching your back, with your ta-tas pointing out, can leave them with all the hots for you.

#11 regular pedicures.

If you love girly things, feel free to play around in all the glorious girly details.

Manicured fingernails and toenails, lovely lashes, clean ears and bright teeth can go a long way towards telling a guy you care about your hygiene before you even speak.

If you’re the tomboy type, by all means, don’t go changing the things you love just to try and snag a guy.

Besides, some men love the rough and tumble look of a girl with no makeup and who’s not afraid to go river rafting at a moment’s notice.

But if it floats your boat to appear feminine, chances are you’ll attract a man who loves the same look.
