Women are very weird creatures for men to understand. Let us not try and sugar coat this. Men sometimes fall into idiot territory to women, and we honestly cannot help it. Maybe we say or do something wrong, who knows? Sometimes we are not the problem, but does that really matter in the end? What does matter is how we react to things.

As guys, we tend to be big on certain things. Most women assume guys only want certain things. If you give out proper sex, cook well, and take care of them well…then that is about all that is needed. In all reality, we enjoy far more than just this. The reason is because every man is unique, just like women. Just like how some women like weird things in guys at times, men have the same weird obsessions.

Not all men have weird things that they like about women. Some may have some weird ones that are not actually that weird to most, but to others they might be. Sometimes the most surprising thing men like about women is unexpected, but welcome. In this list, we have found fifteen shocking things men like about women. This is not a blanket statement about all men, of course.

However, we will highlight various things that most men will agree on. On others, we’ll go over some unique types. In the end, you’ll be left wondering if that guy you like has similar thoughts. To that we say, you’re welcome!

15. Men Actually Like To Talk To Women About Other Women

Look, not all men are going to be men you date. Sometimes, all he wants or you want is to be friends. That is cool in the end, because that means he has less to worry about. Why is this? Because he can always talk to you about things involving women. What does this have to do with you as a female? It is simple. Men love to talk to women about other women, and while this may seem weird…it isn’t for him.

Men love this quality about women. As they know you are willing to help them understand things when they don’t. As men, we can be dumb sometimes. We don’t know what a woman wants or if we’re doing the right thing. Having a woman to talk to about this can do wonders. It can help relationships, help get the girl they like, and more. It seems women are more than happy to give their opinion on other women.

Sometimes this can go too far with women putting down other women on purpose. Possibly because they don’t like the girl for real or want the guy they’re talking to. Regardless of why, most women seem to be open about this and men enjoy it more than you might think. This is why all men seem to have at least one female friend, as it is really helpful to them. Of course, if your male friend does not talk to you about other girls…he probably feels doing so will show you he’s interested in more than you. So, consider this going forward, ladies.

14. When She Is Scared

This sounds crazy when you see it, especially when you make the blanket statement of “fear” that men love about women. Men do not just like a girl who is afraid of everything known to the world, so let’s set this straight as quick as possible. Men like the idea that they can be the powerful protector of a woman. So, when she screams over a mouse or spider, we enjoy this because it allows us to have a use to her. Neither of these things will hurt her most likely, but we enjoy the fact that we have an actually need here as a hero of sorts.

The same can be said about a scary movie. There is no straight man alive who will not go to a scary movie with the girl he’s dating. He wants to be touched and used by her as a shield to an apparent killer movie. It allows him to be felt up, and that is obviously a good way to get close to a girl. Men love this mostly in the dating pool. However, once a guy marries a girl he’s gonna want her to avoid screaming at every spider and mouse. They may not even watch as many scary films either. This is not the same for all, of course.

13. Southern Accent

This is a part that many men find very attractive among women. Various media outlets have done polls voting on the sexiest accents and the southern accent tends to always win out. However, there are many other accents that stand out too. For some reason though, men seem to have a special attraction to this accent among women. Being from Alabama, we hear this all the time as men, as it is no different among another woman in the area usually.

Meanwhile, if I were to talk to my northern friends, they go crazy hearing any girl from my state. For some reason, most of the world seems to always find it appealing. Meanwhile, the men from these states actually like some differences too. So some men from the South would enjoy a French accent a bit more. However, even southern men often times will want to marry the girl with a southern accent. It appeals to all men, even those who live among these women daily. The difference between southern men and others is that they do not make it as big of a deal.

12. Wearing Glasses

Men are simple creatures who are easily amused at times. However, one thing that gets to almost any guy is when she wears glasses. Many women actually do wear them, but simply wear contacts when they go out and about. A lot of women assume that they look better wearing contacts than glasses. Most of the time, men will like you either way. However, there are some who look absolutely amazing in glasses compared to without them.

Take Tina Fey for instance. She wears glasses on a regular basis and there is a major attraction there. She is a beautiful woman without them, but it seems the glasses make her look even better. Of course, this has become a fetish among some men. Women will wear fake glasses in the bedroom just to satisfy their man, as weird as it sounds. Of course, you get some girls who don’t try to stand out with their glasses at all, but manage to. Then you get other girls who are gorgeous without them but only add to that possible weird male fetish when putting them on.

11. Wearing Camouflage

This is not a need for every man or something every guy likes to see. However, many guys enjoy seeing women do this for a few reasons. Men love a girl who is active and willing to try new things. Being a girl who likes the outdoors can be good for men, as they want to do things with you in these areas. Not all men are built for this, which is why it is kind of a specific thing. Some men like to hunt and take their girl along, so camo is good to see.

However, the real reason camo stands out is simply over the fact that we know she is someone who actually enjoys being part of our world. If she likes the outdoors, there is a good chance she will own camo before she even met you. This means it is not going to be a fake thing for her when she goes with you. She will actually be fun to have around and useful if you camp, go to a lake, etc. This is always good, and thus, men find it quite attractive at the end of the day.

10. Men Like ‘Em Sorta Crazy

This like many of the others has some context that needs to be presented. Do men like women like Harley Quinn who are absolute nutbags? Not really. Obviously, Harley is a weird sort of example, but there is something that makes her stand out within that crazy. It is that she is gorgeous and has layers of sex appeal, among other things. Without this, the clinically crazy chick would not appeal as much.

So what type of crazy do men actually find attractive? Men like when their woman cares and gets a little jealous, and finds herself willing to kill any chick who tries to get with her guy. A girl who is willing to fight at any point over something shows that there is passion about something to her. When you’re in a fire fight, she is the chick you can rely on. That ability makes someone quite attractive. Like women, men find themselves attracted mostly to the danger a crazy chick presents.

While these women typically don’t become a guy’s wife, they tend to always attract men simply because of their attraction to the danger of it all. A crazy girl will get into a lot of wacko crap, and may very well do some shady things. She may do things that make absolutely no sense. However, men overlook it due to the attraction of it all. This does not last for 95% of men, but there is still always going to be an attraction there.

9. A Woman Without Make-Up

A woman without make-up may seem really odd to be attracted to, but men absolutely love it. Now, let’s not get things twisted of course. Men do like it when women go to an effort to look good for them. It is quite lovely for a girl to care so much about how she looks around you. However, sometimes we want to see her in an element she is not always the best in. Women look terrific naturally, without any make-up. This is not really a debate, because if she is beautiful caked up then there has to be some beauty beneath.

During the summer, a lot of women hardly need make-up due to the tan they have developed. Even during other seasons, women have a naturally beautiful face. While make-up does help hide some flaws, men like to see those. Men like to see a girl as a mess in the morning or afternoon, because it shows the “real” side of them. They are not hiding a thing at that point, and it feels really good to have that opportunity to see them totally be free with you.

8. Stubbornness is actually a turn-on

Look, we need to set a few grounds rules with this one. Men love a girl who is determined and stubborn about what she wants. If a girl has that much desire for something and holds to it, we love that kind of passion. However, if she is stubborn about some of the dumbest stuff then this can actually be quite annoying rather than attractive. Now that this is out of the way, let’s dive into the attraction.

Stubbornness shows a passion for something, which men like to see. If you’re willing to fight for it, argue over it, and go to war over it almost….then that shows a dedication that cannot be matched. Men love to see women who have goals and aspirations. If you’re stubborn about not giving up with a career or about a subject you feel confident about….this is pretty attractive. Men love seeing passion and interests come from women.

7. Clumsiness is cute and not awkward

Remember when we said men like to feel needed? There are a lot of clumsy women in the world. Sometimes women overdo this on purpose to fall into a guy’s arms or to get them to notice they are around. Men actually do enjoy this, as weird as it sounds. While men may enjoy a girl who needs constant attention, they do like that she is going to an effort in order to just be touched by them.

On top of this, the clumsy nature allows for possible funny moments to crop up. While men may not want to necessarily always laugh at the injuries of others, especially a girl they like…they do enjoy a funny moment. Almost every guy will laugh at videos involving random falls, hits to the “boys,” and more. So, when a person falls down or trips a lot, it can be quite comical. Women may love to laugh, but men are no different.

6. Actual Nerdy Girls

This is kind of a call-back to the glasses, as many nerdy girls wear them. However, the whole “nerdy girl” can be a bit suspect. Not all women who wear glasses qualify as nerds and not all women who like Batman qualify either. With the rise of nerd culture becoming very popular among the current generation, it seems now more than ever it is good to come across this way. If you like stuff like used to qualify you as a nerd like comic books, computers, pro-wrestling, or anything of the sort….you’re relatively normal.

However, not all women find themselves in love with these sort of things that many men enjoy. It is fine and men do not hold it against women, but it is very cool to see a woman actually love nerd culture material and not fake it. If you go to her home and she has New Day pyjamas and Wonder Woman underwear, you’re probably running into a girl who is a true nerd. It is attractive for men to find women with similar interests, and there is a ton of sex appeal in this world. A woman who can represent that and look amazing in cosplay or things of that nature will truly stand out.

5. Wearing Athletic Gear

This sort of goes along the lines of the camo clothing thing. Men love when women wear athletic gear because it shows she likes to be active. Many women have some sort of athletic clothing to either run with, go to the gym with, or simply work around the house in. It does not matter why they’re worn, men find this VERY attractive and it is for some obvious reasons.

Usually, male athletic gear is built to be comfortable. Our shorts, for example, are tight enough in the waist to not fall off but loose everywhere else. This is for pretty obvious reasons. Some men even like loose shirts, but some of them tend to be tight. Most all of the female clothing is tight when it comes to athletic gear. This means men get to see women look amazing. In addition, if there is a workout going on in these things, men enjoy seeing the sweat and thus tightening of the clothing. It is really not shocking why men like this at all, but some women will see it as weird in the end.

4. Do The Carpets Match The Drapes?

Let’s put this up first before going deeper into the subject. Men love women with shaved legs, but you might find a small portion of men who like women with it or don’t care either way. Meanwhile, there is always a debate regarding, you know, THAT part of the female body and whether or not it should be shaved. Here is a little secret that most men will pretty much always admit. If men see a nude woman, they are not going to care if there is some hair or not.

However, what if you plan out a nice date night with your guy and know that things will happen at the end of the night. You have had plenty of notice and so does he. Do you shave everywhere then? If so, that is normal and not odd. However, you might be surprised to note that many men actually like when there is hair there. You may not need to grow out a bush that the 70’s would be jealous of, but some would by no means be offensive and he may very well find that more attractive than the totally shaved version.

In fact, this is not just The Clever saying it. There was a study done by Huffington Post, where the question was asked about whether or not you should shave. Only 41% of men claimed that preferred no hair. That leaves a massive number of men who either don’t care, want some there, or wants a completely natural look.

3. Stretch Marks

You may find this to be one of the most odd and shocking on the list. How could a man possibly find stretch marks attractive? Stretch marks happen to be one of the things most women tend to be most afraid of a man seeing. We’re here to tell you, he does not care about them being there or he’ll actually find them pretty attractive. Stretch marks are things men have too. Everyone has them. Either it was from a time when they were bigger and lost weight, had a baby, or simply something that happened growing up.

Most men are really afraid of how they’ll look to women too, so this is not some random thing one gender suffers through. Due to this, men often times see the woman they like as perfect in almost every way they can know. When they find a stretch mark, it shows a flaw in the perfect system. It is actually making you MORE attractive to him because of that. Men like when they can see some sort of imperfection, especially when the woman is someone he finds to be so amazing and beautiful.

2. A Good Arguer

It seems odd, does it not? Couples arguing can be toxic one would imagine. However, this is actually not true. Arguing as a couple is actually terrific, but obviously not every day. You also don’t want to see things turn violent or say things hurtful that you do not mean. However, disagreements are going to happen. Holding stuff in can really cause a lot of trouble in a relationship. Talking it out, even to the point of arguing is a really really good thing.

This is where the “good” arguer comes in. We want someone who can argue a point with passion and make us think about things. We want someone to challenge us mentally, and a person who is willing to go to bat for her beliefs. We don’t want a “yes girl” and someone who will just go along with things. Men want and need someone to tell them when they’re being an idiot. While the man won’t roll over and take it, the argument is for the man to learn how the woman feels.

Having a woman willing to express her thoughts in a compelling way is not only good to have, it’s very attractive. Men do not want a woman to express her every feeling to them. However, they do want someone who is willing to talk things out and argue over things. It solves problems before letting stuff fester for months and months until an explosion happens.

1. Her Hair Being Up

Very few guys will ever tell a woman how to do her hair. Men simply do not want to get into all of that drama honestly. However, if there is one thing a lot of men like, it’s when a woman puts her hair up. Maybe it’s up in make-shift up-do, she has it in high ponytail, or she has it up with some clips…it tends to always make a guy happy. The reason is not so much because he hates her hair long or even in a shorter way.

When it’s up, it shows more of the face and that tends to look good for most women. Some women assume this can only be done with skinny girls, but actually it can go very well for women of all sizes. It does not matter what you’re putting the hair up for, so assuming men won’t look because you’re putting up to work out, clean, etc. would be wrong. They’re looking, and many are going to be as attracted to you that way if not more so than when you’re getting a ton done with it.
