If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, how are you supposed to know what to do to attract the right kind of man? While it's true that every man has his own idea of what is and isn't attractive, there are some general rules that apply across the board. Here are six things that he's likely to find beautiful...

THE EYES HAVE IT
Not for nothing are eyes considered the windows to the soul. If a man's trying to connect with you, he's trying to do so through your eyes. Use them to lock in on his and to show him how you're feeling. Without even knowing he's doing it, he'll be able to read your emotions through your eyes. He'll feel your warmth – and just as likely your distance – there, so be aware of how they're responding. Your eyes can draw him in, but they can just as easily push him away. The beauty is in their power, so use them wisely.

A SKIN-DRIVEN THING
Chances are pretty good that with all your lotions and potions and loofahs and scrubbers, your skin is in much better condition than your man's, which is why he'll be drawn to your skin's beautiful glow. For most men, a woman's skin can appear to be an almost unearthly thing, a soft and smooth marvel he'll have trouble keeping his (admittedly calloused and scratched) hands off of.


DULCET TONES
Some men have been known to fall in love merely at the sound of a woman's voice. Having said that, many have also been sent running for the hills for similar reasons. Whatever your accent, the tone and texture of a voice can tell a man a lot about you. If your voice is harsh and scratchy, some men could get the idea that you've a personality to match. If it's soft and caring and warm, they'll melt at the idea of hearing your beautiful tones every day.

SCENT OF A WOMAN
Not for nothing did Al Pacino exclaim "who-ahh!" merely at the scent of a woman. But it doesn't take a blind man to appreciate the beauty of a well-mixed perfume as it wafts into his nostrils. However, the right balance is imperative: too much could have him gagging into his napkin. After all, you want his eyes to water for the right reasons. Also, let's not underestimate the power of pheromones, your basic scent. The natural scent of a woman is an aphrodisiac you won't find in a bottle. And speaking of natural...

WHAT NATURE GAVE YOU
While every television ad break is filled with a plethora of items to boost what God gave you, there's something about a natural woman that so many men find utterly beautiful. Whether its makeup, tummy tucks, hair products or Botox, just because they're being pitched at you they don't necessarily make men think you're more beautiful. Casual clothes, natural makeup and a face that can actually move when you talk can be a stunning thing to behold.

YOUR PERSONALITY
When it comes to what men find beautiful, we've left the best for last – your personality. While men may initially judge you for the way you look, real lasting beauty comes from within. Whether you're the Little Miss Sunshine type or you love a rainy day, be the very best version of yourself and show what you have to offer beyond your physical self. At the end of the day, there's nothing more beautiful...
