5 THINGS WOMEN LOVE ON MEN

- BY FUNKE BABS-KUFEJI

WELL FITTED SUITS

We know the function of suits – high-standard clothing for business and fancy events. Suits aren’t the most commonly worn outfits for first dates but the ladies love them every now and then. They like it when you dress to impress for special occasions. They appreciate that effort. But whenever you wear a suit, it’s got to be the right fit. Psychology tells us about the classic “V-shaped” body which is associated with good health and more testostero­ne.

So women are particular­ly drawn to wellfittin­g suits because of how masculine they make a guy look. Trimmed waist, bigger shoulders and hands – these are the factors that command attention.

Any man can put on a suit.

But a guy who doesn’t allow the suit to overpower or make him feel uncomforta­ble is the one who stands out from the rest. He’s the one seen by women and the rest of society as powerful, discipline­d and successful. PIC JOSIAH

It shows women rate olfactory (smell) cues as more important than visual cues. So don’t underestim­ate women’s sense of smell… it’s pretty sensitive.

BOXER BRIEFS

The best of both worlds: boxer briefs combine the shape of boxers with the close-fitting feel of briefs. They’re not prone to chafing.

They don’t leave your jewels hanging down. You can wear them comfortabl­y at the gym or whenever you go for a run.

A Men’s Health study shows 58% of women prefer their man in boxer briefs to the other underwear types. But why they love them? They’re like lean mini-shorts that flatter the lower torso. They fit you just right and neither look too loose nor too tight. CALVIN KLIN BRIERS
