Women want to be loved, it's very simple. While all the physical attributes are a plus, and money is nice--what really matters is how a guy treats her. Money and muscles can fade away in time so you've got to have something more to keep her around. A man with some sort a personality and that's well-rounded is what most women are after.

Confidence is the single most important thing you can have on your side. It's going to be very difficult to get women to notice you, much less find you attractive if you have no confidence. You can always do things to boost your confidence. Start by working on yourself, try to be a positive person and find humor in bad situations. Having fun with others is a great way to show that you're confident with yourself.

Don't confuse confidence with cockiness. Cockiness is dangerous, and while it may work for some guys--it doesn't work for very long. Most of the "cocky" guys that I've seen are quick to put others down, make themselves look good at another person's expense. Any girl with a brain knows that a cocky guy is actually insecure and not worth wasting time on.

Smiling is another great tool that men can use to attract women. A nice, warm smile is the universal way of saying, "hey, I'm an approachable person. You should come talk to me..." Most women appreciate a guy that has the ability to smile and laugh. Ever heard that laughter is the best medicine? It's true. A guy that's able to have a good time is like a magnet when it comes to women, that's the guy they want to be hanging out with.

Never underestimate the power of communication. Guys that are able to carry on a conversation are much more likely to get a girl's number than someone that can't. Be yourself when talking to a woman, and don't be afraid to engage her friends in conversation as well. Coming right out and "hitting on" a girl is like shooting yourself in the foot. Talk to her as if you're friends with no pressure, you're going to get her number much easier that way.

These were just a few tips to get you started. Don't forget that the only thing you really have to work with is yourself. You don't have to change who you are just make improvements on the areas you need some help with. Women aren't as scary as the Hollywood movies make them out to be, so don't be afraid to talk to them.

Even if you see a girl that you don't have any interest in dating there is no harm in talking to her. The more you practice the better you are. Women are attracted to a man's personality and his confidence, the only way you're going to build that up is by practicing.
