How Can Men Appear More Attractive to Women?

This video attempts to answer the question: How can a man appear more attractive to women? I'll take a look at the science and then I'll talk about what I've learned from my clinical experience as a mental health counselor. We see with attraction there are a number of theories out there: socially desirable traits predict attraction, traits that are readily perceived predict attraction, similarity predicts attraction (likes attract), and opposites attract. Another theory is that sex is a moderator of romantic interest. This theory states that romantic attraction is different for males as opposed to females.
