Yan Krukau | CanvaWe've all met that kind of mentally & emotionally irresistible man: He's the one who makes us all swoon as he walks into the room. No doubt about it: he's giving off majorly good vibes, and for all the right reasons. Research suggests that women are attracted to men who possess a combination of physical, emotional, and social qualities. Some men have a specific something about them that inspires desire in others. Come with us as we peek under the covers to see the secrets of these highly desirable men.
Mentally and emotionally irresistible men do a few things off the bat that women notice:

An emotionally attractive man who can laugh at himself and bring joy to others is a keeper. It’s not about being a stand-up comedian; it’s about not taking life too seriously.

5. They have their own style

We don't want to give the wrong idea here. This is not to say he has to be one certain type of style and mimic a prescribed "it" style as a surefire path to hot (whether it's clean-cut or tattooed). Not at all. What makes a man mentally & emotionally irresistible is having a style all his own, a way of dressing to reflect who he is, and what he's into. A guy who wakes up hum-drum and throws on the same dingy shirt and pair of jeans every day? Not the same level of attractiveness at all.

6. They're emotionally mature

There’s no beating around the bush here: A large portion of men who lack mental & emotional awareness have serious problems with their emotional maturity. They can’t regulate their emotions, they can’t do any form of introspection, and many can’t even really communicate well with their dates.
Emotional maturity isn’t just about taking no for an answer and being able to regulate emotions. It’s about not being manipulative and not resorting to cunning moves to get your way. It’s about being a straight shooter, so to speak.

7. They are unapologetically honest

Being unapologetically honest shows confidence and also shows a woman that you have a lot of dignity. Having your own opinion shows a woman that you aren't just trying to impress and please her. Of course, you want to respect her, but you also need to challenge her.
When you do this, she understands you have a sense of pride grounded in who you are. When you are open to communication and show honesty, it builds an emotional connection with a woman. The secret of mentally & emotionally irresistible men sounds so simple when you put it in a few sentences, doesn't it?
