What do men really want in a woman — and what do they love about women most?

So, what are some things the man in your life probably loves about you but may not have told you?

1. He loves the way he smiles when he thinks about you.

It doesn’t matter if he’s stressed out at work, stuck in traffic, or just bored scrolling through Facebook. If a man is lucky, he will have a woman come into his life who can make him smile without even being in the same zip code.

Just the thought of her or hearing her name will light him up like fireworks on the 4th of July. What’s not to love about that?

2. He loves when he makes you smile.

Have you ever noticed a guy who seemed to pick up momentum when he’s being funny? Even with a sorta-semi-funny sense of humor, he was definitely trying his best.

A man loves to see the woman in his life smiling, laughing, and having a good time. And even more, he loves to be the source of that smile, even if it means making dumb jokes for her to laugh at while spending time with her.

3. He loves being physically close to you.

Whether the two of you are cuddled up on the couch or standing next to each other waiting for your cab, a man loves being close to the woman in his life. It’s a great way to feel connected, feel comfortable, and feel good with someone both physically and emotionally.

But why are men attracted to women? Well, it’s hard to beat the feeling of the woman you care about laying on your chest or resting her head on your shoulder.

4. He loves when you play with his hair while he’s driving.

I wish I could give you a more scientific explanation for this, but all I can say is that it’s the best thing ever.
