He says it shows I care enough to put forth effort to look good for him because I love him. My mom taught me that it isn't important that you "caught him" so much as it is that you do the same things to "keep him" - tongue in cheek but she laughed about that and said, "...but it is so true." She looked good for my dad all the time - 52 years of their married life together!LBDDiarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095130599361379113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-36384112019469835622015-11-18T11:11:24.002+13:002015-11-18T11:11:24.002+13:00Merci too for your insightful and very good guida...Merci too for your insightful and very good guidance on this important subject.....I am using all your ideas from now on....and I have always loved Channel #5 .....Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348738696117669746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-70616486179883591972011-03-03T06:21:16.154+13:002011-03-03T06:21:16.154+13:00I totally agree with this list.

I wore it to dinner on my birthday and it felt very sexy. <br /><br />One of my favorite fragrances and most commented on (by both men and women) is Givenchy Ange ou Demon. I bought it in Paris before it was released in the States and have been wearing it non-stop for 3 years or so. It really reminds of Paris and just feeling sexy.<br /><br />Thanks for posting the list!Zazhttp://chezzaz.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-61590609997312455302011-03-02T21:24:47.339+13:002011-03-02T21:24:47.339+13:00Love this post!!

I'm severely lacking in red in my wardrobe, leaning more towards burgundies. My suggestion: slow down. Whether walking, talking, blinking, falling for him, eating, whatever. We tend to be so flitty that it can make us lose track of ourselves. The sense of control and smoothness of movement can be captivating and create an aura of mystery and confidence.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05078760707089154714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-7819941340008228972011-03-02T15:55:52.867+13:002011-03-02T15:55:52.867+13:00Great list !

As for the slight head tilt and light touch on the arm, they are the most often used of my feminine arsenal. Just the other day I scored a ride with a police officer after my car was towed by using these two little suggestions (combined with a smile)....that never happens!

Along those lines, moving through the house with music playing and just dance a bit as you move. Sort of like you're doing it just for yourself (but you're not!). Be lost in your own romantic mysterious thoughts oblivious of "anyone" watching!

All I know for sure is that I'd rather smell like a bouquet of flowers than a fruit basket! I do love Chanel No 5.<br /><br />Smiling 35 times an hour does sound like an awful lot.

Men like a clean, fresh face on women but don't realize that sometimes we need a little help. ;) <br /><br />As far as the color red, I've recently decided that "red is the new pink" for me. As I've gotten older, I need a more mature but feminine color in my wardrobe.

The world must seem brand-new to you.<br /><br />Janet, it is quite illuminating to learn what men dislike. A while back my husband mentioned he can't stand city shorts - slim fitting dressy shorts worn with high heels to the office. I've always thought they looked ok (even though I've never felt the need to go out and find some for myself) so it was quite a surprise that he felt so strongly about them.<br /><br />Stephanie, on a day off at home I always feel so much better if I put on a bit of tinted moisturiser, mascara and lip gloss. And I look nice when my husband gets home. Bonus.<br /><br />Bliss, you are so funny and cute and obviously doing EVERYTHING right if you husband is chasing you around.

I disagree, but he insists that he loves that most of all, and loves watching me in the mornings. <br /><br />I do think these tips are fantastic and oh so true. I would add that occasionally when listening slightly part your lips. It's tried and true (just look at Old Hollywood), gives you a wide eyed look and relaxes your face. <br /><br />But mainly, no matter what I think most men are attracted to women who seem to be comfortable in their skin and whatever they have on. I love tall heels, my husband loves them on me, but he complains that most of the women he works with clomp, because they don't know how to walk in them.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746233349847124744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-79442752861836686022011-02-26T15:22:52.361+13:002011-02-26T15:22:52.361+13:00This was fabulous (again), Fiona.

I am reminded of Harrison Ford's immortal words (that are often quoted in this home) to Anne Heche's character in "Six Days, Seven Nights" when they are discussing an article in her magazine on how to please your man, he says, "We're easy. Just show up."

I would give the man an opportunity to treat me like a lady so I in turn can treat him like a gentleman (opening the door is the classic example).<br /><br />And, if you can get away with it when dating, cooking for a man is a sure-fire to display your comforting skills.
