Men are easier to impress than women, right? Sometimes.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Breath Fresheners
  • Perfume
  1. Step 1

    Remember that men like women with confidence. If you like who you are, they'll like who you are.

  2. Step 2

    Practice being independent. It takes a lot of the pressure off of men to know they don't have to take care of you.

  3. Step 3

    Don't play dumb. If that's what it takes to impress a certain man, do you really want him?

  4. Step 4

    Dress well. Wear whatever you have on with your own style. Guys like those black seamed stockings and flashy high heels, sure, but you'll be more fun if you're comfortable.

  5. Step 5

    Don't worry if you don't look like a supermodel. After all, you don't demand that the men in your life all look like movie stars, right? There are more important things. Give guys credit for knowing that.

  6. Step 6

    Be engaging. A woman who is sitting with a bunch of men is intriguing. Those guys are sitting with her for a reason. Other men will want to know what it is.

  7. Step 7

    Notice what a man is wearing and compliment him. Men often go to a lot of trouble to look good, but rarely get as many compliments as women do.

  8. Step 8

    Don't drink too much. Your inhibitions will be lowered and you might say or do things you wouldn't normally do.

  9. Step 9

    Be appreciative. Say thanks when it's appropriate. Smile when you say it. It means a lot.

  10. Step 10

    Ask the man about his work, his hobbies, his interests. Listen carefully and ask questions.

  11. Step 11

    Find out what he's interested in. If you can hold your own in a discussion on baseball, stock cars or fishing, you're in.

  12. Step 12

    Be relaxed and easy to get along with. The more comfortable you are, the more comfortable the people around you are. You might not be the only one who's nervous.

Tips & Warnings
  • While you're busy impressing your man, don't forget to take the time to make sure he's worth impressing. It's a two-way street - you should both impress each other.

on 6/30/2009 If only comfortable was better accepted. sigh... Of course men that are high maintenance from date one are probably not worth the time.

on 4/18/2009 Hmmm...interesting advice. I agree with one of the comments that stated that you should not try to impress a guy/girl by being someone else. However, I have noticed that becoming a more confident version of yourself is rather alluring. It wasn't pretending to be someone else, it was becoming more extrovert.

on 7/5/2007 Honesty! I have to admit, people in general tend to have this flirtatious 'date' persona that they go into when they meet someone that they like. As a guy I can't say that I'm a fan of it. There's nothing more cringing than a lady who forces her laughter. I think having your own ideas and a driving force will help you in the long run. Women that have a passion for something is a big turn on. Honesty is the best policy
