One ‘ordinary’ woman has 10 men queuing up for her while the others have none. What’s with men and most wanted girls?
There is always this one girl, since school days and now in the office, that somehow always have a group of men surrounding her. She could be your standard drop-dead-gorgeous babe with sexy curls and full bosom, but she could also be a plain Jane. A lot of women wonder about these women who seem to spread pheromone to the Adams. She is a natural queen bee.
Take a look at both Marilyn Monroe and Barbra Streisand. The former was the symbol of sexiness throughout time – luscious lips, full bosom, hourglass figure. Combine that with flirtatious charm and slight insecurity, and you get the ultimate sex bomb.
The latter is not your typical babe, with a crooked nose that once cost her her self esteem after her parents called her ‘the ugly duckling’. But later in life, the public couldn’t get enough of her, and many men including Bill Clinton fancied her. The list of Barbra’s fanboys also included: Dodi Fayed, Warren Beatty, Liam Neeson, Kris Kristofferson, Omar Sharif, Steve McQueen, Richard Gere, Ryan O’Neal, Jon Voight, Andre Agassi and Pierre Trudeau.
Two different sides of the beauty spectrums, one thing in common: the man magnet. We investigate this unique phenomenon in the hope of revealing the men-mystery.
1. It’s the way she moves
Women act a certain way when they are around a man who tickles their fancy. The head toss, the sideway glance over raised shoulder, the pelvic tilt, and the leg twine are among subconscious gestures women commit around THE man (source: The Book of Body Language, Westside Toastmaster). While at it, other men might be attracted by these acts and sees her in a different light – sexually. In simpler words, when a woman sends signals to a man, other men might catch them too.
2. The male ego
This is a no-brainer, many men want the exact same thing his peers are lusting after; for the sake of hunting thrill. Take the Diablo III case for example. Men literally compete with other men to lay their hands on the game first, and are determined to conquer it before other guys do. The same goes in the game of love, whereby a man sees a woman as more of a catch now that 15 other men are after her.
3. She’s not desperate
‘Stop looking and you will find the man of your dream’. Heard that advice before? It is true in a sense that when you are not desperate, and you focus more on yourself rather than hinting at men – you look more attractive. ’Men want to commit to women who exude confidence and are in control of their lives’ – Sherry Argov (Why Men Marry Bitches: A Woman’s Guide to Winning Her Man’s Heart). It rings true in The Barbra Effect – once she gave up her wish to undergo rhinoplasty and learned to love herself, that’s when the men started flocking.
4. Men have a thing for ‘Ms. Average’
Men dig flaws and think women are attractive during the moments where we feel the ugliest: without makeup, down with flu, or all sweaty. A study done by New Scientist in Australia revealed that most men rate women of size 14 as ideal. More surprisingly, average mothers with girl-next-door qualities are more appealing than high-profile women namely Victoria Beckham. This explains why ‘flawed’ model like Lara Stone is many men’s fetish and Jenifer Aniston is still the people’s choice over Angelina Jolie.
5. She’s a ‘man’ at heart
“I find it cool when she has chipped nails filled with glue trails after a night of working on a project,” a guy friend confessed. The same reason as to why men think we are beautiful when we fix computer bugs, change the bulbs, and lift heavy things without whining. More than a lover, men long for a friend; hence their attempt in finding our ‘boyish’ qualities beyond the delicate appearance.
