From a Woman's Perspective: Questions & Comments

The following are all questions and comments that Eguy received from women about men. Hopefully you will find information that will help you think about your own relationships, or how you relate to both women and men.


About Men's Bodies:

Does a guy need to be muscular to get a date/girlfriend?
Women like men to look clean, healthy and well-maintained but that doesn't mean muscular. Most women don't care if the guy they date has six pack abs or not. Women are much less concerned about looks then men are generally. We are looking for a good personality and someone who cares about us and treats us well. Too much muscle is a real turn off to many women. We really do care mostly about what is on the inside. “I ‘m more concerned about whether he makes me laugh than I am about his biceps”.

What do women think about men's penis size?
The truth is that women generally don't think about it. First, it's not like women have a built-in tape measure. It is very hard to detect the difference between one guy and another in terms of size. Things like intimacy, trust, passion, warmth, and sensitivity to a woman's needs are far more important. Most men are about the same size. If someone is unusually large it can be uncomfortable for lots of women. If men were as big as they think they need to be they would get no sex because it would hurt too much! Besides women's orgasms come from stimulation of the Clitoris anyway, so size doesn't really play into it.


Dating Advice for Men

Be honest!
Intelligent women can smell a game/dating technique. The smarter the woman, the more deadly come-ons and dating ploys are (like not calling for three days after a date.) Be who you really are unless you are only interested in a one- night stand with someone who isn't very bright or is very drunk. Women will almost never tell you that they know it is a game/strategy but they will know it none-the-less.

No infomercials please!
Don't tell a woman what a great guy you are. Instead show them what a great guy you are by being a great guy. Women respond poorly to a hard sell and are suspicious of men who tell them how great they are (even in a humble way.)

Don't talk about women other than the one you are with.
Women do not like to hear about how beautiful, funny, talented, etc. some other woman you know (or have known) is. You may think that talking about other beautiful women who were or are attracted to you will up your stock on the market with the woman you are interested in. It won't . What it wil l do is bring out all the insecurities of the woman you are currently with, which will be bad for her and probably for you too in the long run. Society fosters impossible images of beauty for women to follow and the result is often insecurity about their appearance. The exception is talking about women you are in school with or work with and then it should be about the work not the women and how much they like you.

Never flirt with a woman other than the woman you are with.
This holds true for everyone but your mother (no, not even the waitress, and not even if she flirts with you first). The waitress wants a great tip. Your date wants a great guy and great guys never flirt with other women when they are with someone they care about. It is a major sign of disrespect to the woman you are with and other women in the room will notice this behavior and pity your date (not what you are going for).

Be a great listener.
Not the same as pretending to be a great listener (yes, women can tell the difference). If you patiently wait while she tells a long story only to immediately say: “ Ah ha” or “Really?” and jump into a story about yourself, she will know that you were just being polite.

Be polite, manners do count.
Women will generally love having doors opened for them, standing when she enters or exits a room etc. Never take a phone call from someone else when you are with someone you care about on a date. It is rude even if you preface taking the call with: “Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude.” Turn your phone off when you are with a friend (female or male) and always at meals. Anything else sends the message that you are more interested in the person who is calling then the person you are with.

Don't work too hard at looking great.
Women worry if the man they are dating is wearing skin-tight anything on a date. They will figure that you are advertising for your next girlfriend while you are with them not that you are wearing it for them. If you have more product in your hair than your date, it is not a good thing. If you have the good fortune of having a great physique you won't need to advertise it or talk about it. She will notice (and appreciate it.) Be aware that women do not have the same standards of beauty that men have. They will generally fall for someone's personality or overall look. Better to be sincere, funny, interested in them, and intelligent than almost anything else.

The sexiest words to women are:
“Tell me how your day went?” or “What are you thinking?” And then really listen and care. If it is really a pretext to telling her about your day, skip the question and tell her what you did today first. Sincerity is really important here. If you are not interested in her find someone who you are genuinely interested in. In general, showing interest in her life and not only your own is important to intelligent women (and usually a deal-breaker if it is absent.)
