Women reveal the 10 things men do that they don't realize are sexy but totally are

Wanting to appear effortlessly attractive to those around us is a common goal.

The problem is, that taking steps to do so can come off as self-conscious and conceited if executed poorly, leaving us a decidedly less alluring proposition to prospective partners.

It is something of a catch-22, then; the wish to appear attractive and confident weighed against our faltering attempts to make those wishes a reality.

Well if this does ring true for you, I have some good news, because, guys, it turns out you're already doing loads of stuff that women find super hot - and the best part is you don't even know you're doing them. Here are some examples courtesy of Reddit, because, y'know, it's good to know these things.

1. Get vocal

"Moaning. Guys are usually pretty quiet during sex, so any noise that lets us know you're actually enjoying yourself is really exciting."

2. Clean cut 

"My GF says whenever she sees me shave with my straight razor she want's to jump me."

3. Turns out smirking is hot

"Half smiles. Idfk why. But yeah."

4. Your very own Baywatch moment

"Run their fingers through their hair. Especially when they’re doing it subconsciously, like while thinking, or after working out to get the sweat off their forehead. Hnnng"

5. A firm handshake will take you places

"My wife told me that my handshake is very sexy. Go figure."

6. Think is something everyone can achieve

"Smell good. I don't even mean wear cologne - just don't stink. The smell of my husband's deodorant (even after a long day of just being deodorized) can do it for me."

7. Everyone loves a handyman

"Just being handy. Drives me wild when my bf fixes something or puts something together."

8. This is pretty niche

"When they yawn and stretch or reach for something high up and their shirts come up a little bit and you can see their stomachs and their happy trail."

9. Good to know things still work when you're absolutely shattered

"I love it when guys are very passionate and driven about something. That and your tired voices, sweet lord."

10. Keep it simple 

"Wearing a plain black T-shirt. No idea why, but man do I love my husband in a plain black tee."

If you've been feeling a little self-conscious about your own attractiveness recently, hopefully, this will give you a little boost; you are firing off beams of attraction on a daily basis, without even really knowing you're doing it.
