Partner search - a good aura and smile are sexy
The idea that men are solely guided by physical appearance when choosing a partner is outdated. But what do men pay attention to in partner search? How can a woman win a man's heart? GenerationLove explains what men look for in a partner search.
Appearance is not everything, but external factors are crucial for the first impression a man forms about a woman. Whether a woman is attractive in a man's eyes also depends on his personal preferences. However, aura or attractiveness cannot be generalized based on height, figure, or hair color. Therefore, it is not surprising that a man might find a tall, slender blonde just as attractive as a shorter, curvy brunette. Most men find a natural, healthy appearance attractive in a woman. The partner search is also influenced by evolutionary factors: external attractiveness signals health and fertility, a genetically influenced criterion that men subconsciously consider when searching for a partner.
Another criterion that men consider important in partner search is a woman's attitude. "Smiling is sexy"—especially when it comes to finding a partner. Men prefer to approach a woman who radiates a friendly and open aura through her smile. Women who give an impression of arrogance or displeasure through their demeanor are often perceived as less attractive and are approached less frequently. A positive attitude towards life is particularly important to men, as the significance of partnership continues to grow. Most couples intend to live together long-term, go on vacations, and share friends and leisure activities. Positivity and openness play a decisive role in partner search, as they help in engaging in shared activities and maintaining a serious partnership.
A feminine aura is attractive to men. However, a feminine aura does not have to be at odds with a confident lifestyle or a successful career. Women who know what they want are also perceived as more attractive by men. Conversely, if a woman unconsciously shows that she prefers an independent life, it can be a barrier to a relationship. A man wants to stand by a woman’s side and desires affirmation from the woman he is with. A woman who makes a man feel that he is interesting to her will find it easier to gain his attention.
In addition to attractiveness, a positive aura, and self-esteem, the chemistry must be right for a relationship to truly work. While opposites may attract in the beginning, significant differences in lifestyle, hobbies, and dreams can reduce the chances of a happy relationship. Men who are seeking a serious partnership usually long for long-term compatibility with their partner. Laughing together, traveling together, starting a family together—these are not only women’s dreams but also many men’s aspirations. Factors like education, beliefs, and age are also important for having the best chances at a happy long-term relationship.
A woman's attractiveness plays an important role for men in partner selection. A natural and healthy aura is considered attractive by men, which is an important factor in partner search due to evolutionary reasons. Another criterion is positivity: a positive outlook on life and openness to new experiences are particularly important to men. A smile can earn a woman extra points! A feminine aura makes women more attractive to men.
Appearance is not everything a man considers in partner search. Men are also often deep and thoughtful in their search, paying attention to character and attitude to find a long-term partner who truly fits with them.
Just like women, men do not only focus on physical appearance when looking for a partner. You can learn more in the GenerationLove guide in the article What Do Women Look for in Partner Search?
