Simply Feminine � Surprising Insights from Men, Wonderly, Morgan [best ereader manga txt] 📗

us as a “jewelry rack.” Men like jewelry, but they prefer more delicate, simple pieces. If our jewelry has sparkle, all the better. When we wear simple but lovely jewelry, it gives a man an excuse to look at and admire us.

Men love to see us wear dangle earrings because they move and catch the light when we turn our heads. The taller a woman is or the longer her neck is, the longer the earrings can be. But, don’t overpower your face with earrings too big or too long.

Men also like seeing a necklace that enhances our face, neck, and décolletage. We can never go wrong wearing a pearl necklace to draw a man’s attention upward. Men find pearls classy and timeless. While necklaces enhance the upper chest area, chokers draw attention to the neck, which men also like. Whatever style, remember, simple is best.

After you don a necklace, consider adding a bracelet. Bracelets catch a man’s eye when we move our hands and arms. Men like bangle bracelets and simple charm bracelets because they move and make a pleasant tinkling sound when we express ourselves using our hands and arms. It not only catches his eye, but his ear too.

Note that although men like to see us in jewelry that sparkles, it doesn’t need to be diamonds or other expensive stones. Men tell me they don’t care about those things. A well-made piece of costume jewelry can be equally attractive.

Men Love Us in Long Hair

Nearly all men love to see women with long hair. It’s a myth that women over forty should cut their hair short. I’ve seen women in their seventies who look fabulous with long hair and appear twenty years younger. Longer hair allows numerous options: we can braid it, pull it to one side, create an up-do, slick it back, wear a ponytail, or let it run wild and free. Men like the variety of styles we can create when our hair is long. Surprisingly, men love it when we wear ponytails because they are youthful, they move, and they expose the back of the neck.

Adorning our hair with clips, barrettes, bows, headbands, flowers, or hairpieces enhances our femininity. Men notice and appreciate pretty objects in women’s hair, especially flowers. Whenever I wear a flower in my hair, a man will almost always comment that he likes it.

To keep our hair healthy, we can use shampoos and conditioners with natural ingredients. The shinier the hair, the better. Use a leave-in conditioner or natural oils if need be.

If growing long hair is a challenge, consider other options, such as hair extensions or hair pieces like ponytails or add-on falls.

Footwear Men Love on Us

Most men don’t understand women’s fascination with shoes. This is the one area men think we’ve gone crazy! They don’t understand the need for our closets full of shoes. Again, the name of the game for attracting men is simplicity. To men, nothing beats a classic, unadulterated pump or a simple, strappy sandal. These styles flatter women’s feet without stealing the show.

Most men love seeing us in bare feet. They say it’s simple and natural and makes us look more delicate. There’s an innocent girlishness about our going barefoot that brings out their protective nature. That’s why, according to men, the more the shoes reveals our feet, the better.

Men also love women in heels. However, they don’t need to be uncomfortable stilettos. Even a two-inch heel can accentuate our calves and make our legs look more attractive. Most men don’t want women to suffer in heels that are too high or uncomfortable. There’s an art to wearing high heels, and a man’s attraction level depends on how we carry ourselves in them. Not all of us can pull off wearing heels. If a woman has difficulty wearing high heels and her man loves stilettos, she can tell him she’ll wear stilettos at home if she doesn’t have to walk in them and he agrees to carry her from room to room! He might just love the idea.

Men dislike clunky-looking shoes on women because they make our feet look bigger and more masculine. They also hate gladiator sandals because they remind men of … well … gladiators.

One nice accent that men find attractive is a simple ankle bracelet. It draws his attention to your ankles and feet. If you love your ankles, go for it. Men love the added touch.

“There are no shoes made that are more attractive to a man

than a woman’s bare feet.”

Men Prefer Us in Natural-Looking Makeup

Men love a natural look. They don’t mind us in makeup as long as it enhances us. Women who wear too much makeup appear unapproachable to men—porcelain dolls too perfect to be touched. It’s as if we are wearing face armor!

If our lipstick is either too dark or too bright for our skin tone, it can look overdone or artificial. Although some men like red lipstick on women, most find it to be too garish because it implies our lips are un-kissable. They also worry they’ll have red smeared all over their faces and collars. Instead of red lipstick, choose a more natural shade of lipstick or lip gloss.

Men also tell me they don’t like overly done eye makeup because it’s too harsh-looking and detracts from the natural beauty of our eyes. Men want to gaze into our eyes without seeing tons of eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Too much eye makeup can age and harden us, especially as we get older, because it takes away from our softer, more youthful look. It also gives men the impression that we’re trying too hard; it projects an aire of desperation and insecurity, which in turn has them feel sorry for us. Women who’ve gotten used to wearing lots of eye makeup can experiment with
