If you are a single, straight guy who struggles to find the girls, have you ever found yourself irritated by those men who always seem to attract women. You know that they are no more attractive then you, they are not richer than you and yet you are always the one who goes home alone. This need not be the case. If you follow the few simple tips below then you can dramatically alter a woman's perception of you so that you can join the ranks of those guys who can pick women up seemingly at will.

One of the most important traits that a woman will look for in a man is self-confidence. If you can demonstrate that you are self-assured, comfortable within yourself and are able to hold a conversation then the woman is much more likely to feel comfortable in your company. This feeling of confidence will spread to her and although she may not know why, she will feel attracted to you.

This is a very important factor in understanding how to attract women. But there is a fine line between a person who conveys self-confidence and someone who is perceived as arrogant. Arrogance is not attractive and the only thing that you will achieve is the perception that you are a jerk. You can avoid this by just being yourself. Relax and engage in conversation by listening to what she has to say and then demonstrate an interest in her by asking the appropriate questions. Avoid talking just about yourself otherwise you will appear selfish and insular.

You should always try to use the conversation to create a rapport between you and the woman. There are many scientific studies on relationships that strongly suggest that we are attracted to those people who we feel we have something in common with. Therefore one of the aims of the initial contact with a woman is to establish commonality. This might be a favorite movie or song. Perhaps you like the same cocktail drink. You need to be imaginative on this one.

Whilst making conversation you should attempt to make good eye contact with the woman that you are speaking to. This can appear scary but it is an important part of attracting women. Eye contact is a very intimate moment between two people and in the right situation can be a clear indication that that person would like to get to know you better.

If you have successfully managed to approach a woman, made good conversation and established some commonality then you must learn to recognize the signals that women send out to demonstrate that they are interested. There are a few common signs that indicate a woman wants to know you better. As mentioned if she makes frequent eye contact with you, then this is a good sign. Likewise if she asks you questions about yourself she is demonstrating interest.

There are also some more overt signs that suggest that the woman wants to be intimate. These include repeated touching and looking at your mouth and lips. During a conversation if she opens up her body language by leaning towards you, then this is a sure sign that she wants to get a lot closer.

Everyday we all display subtle hints that give out an indication of what we are really thinking. If you are to become successful at picking up women, you will need to quickly master this skill. By reading these signs you will feel confident about asking for that cell number or perhaps arranging another date.
