Attraction is an interesting beast; what one person finds attractive, another can be grossed out by completely. There is so much more to attraction than having white teeth, a great smile, a nice thick head of hair, rock hard abs, a swimmer’s body, and a symmetrical face. Once someone decides they want to get to know you, everything about you, including how you speak, your views on life, and your behavior, will play into whether you are attractive to that person. And if you are guilty of any one of these five behaviors, you could be making yourself less attractive.1. You play gamescouple having fun, dateSource: iStockWhat are you, 10 years old? Girls might like games, but women are disgusted by them. Playing games is a power tactic, and a popular one for the pick-up artist: You want to be in control of the relationship. This involves playing hard to get and justifying the ridiculous rules of when to call or text, lest you show too much interest. Just don’t do this. Showing her that you would make a fantastic partner is the best way to up the ante to your appeal.Also, playing games is a sign of disrespect and immaturity. As I said before, a woman will not put up with games. She’s been through a lot, and she finds it incredibly unattractive.2. You smellgrooming, hygiene, smelly guySource: iStockI’m so sorry to bring this up, but it’s just so unappealing and unattractive. I’m not referring to how you smell after a gym session, I know you can’t avoid being a little stinky; I’m talking about bad hygiene in general. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I’m also referring to you dousing yourself in Axe Body Spray to cover up your bad smell. Gentlemen, the scent you give off, pheromones, which are actually odorless chemical compounds, are intended to create sexual attraction on a physical level. However, this natural women-attracting scent is canceled out if you stink.3. You’re not being yourselfDon’t be the guy you think we want you to be: Just be yourself. This includes not lying in person or on your online dating profile. Be true to you and what you represent; someone will absolutely find that insanely attractive.4. You’ve got a lousy attitudeThis runs the gamut from being overly aggressive or just plain ‘ol negative about everything. You can be the most beautiful man on the planet, but if your attitude stinks and you want to incite the world, we’re moving on to the next.5. You’re passivedancing, coupleSource: iStockWomen want you to make the first move. Women want you to want them. Women want you to ask them out. There is nothing that substitutes a man who goes out and gets what he wants. Being a wallflower in both the dating world and in life is extremely unattractive: It’s important to know when to stay in the background and when to rise to the occasion. It’s in our genetic make-up to want to be with a man who’s a leader and wants to show us the world.
