For generations, people have speculated on what catches a man’s eye and ignites love. Is it the sway of her hips, the pouty lips, or the flick of her hair? While these may captivate, men notice much more at a glance, focusing on the physical. Women may observe scent and shoes, but men’s attention tends to be primal, human, carnal.

Here are things men always notice in a woman:

Eyes serve as the portal to the soul. When men notice a woman’s eyes, they yearn to delve into her soul, peering beneath the surface to understand the essence of the woman beyond her physical form.

Lips have enamored men since ages. The luscious tilt of the lips makes men go crazy. The curve, the pout, the color, and the size, men notice them, because they want to kiss them. But remember, if this is what a man notices the first thing about you, he is only in it for the sex. He has no intention of loving you.

Men notice women when they walk. If a woman walks with a hunch, or slouches, or trudges along, she comes off as lazy, and quite careless. Walking with a stride, a purpose is what attracts men. The zeal, the passion, and the independence are what captures a man’s attention, and his heart.

There is a reason why men flock to female singers. There is something in that lilting voice that is so melodious, so soothing, that men can’t help but fall in love. While some voices are shrill, and some are deep, it isn’t your fault if the man doesn’t like it. You don’t need his validation for your existence.
