Boys, still yet to secure your Valentine’s day squeeze? Indeed, females are mysterious creatures and, to the opposite sex, we may fail to strike a chord when it comes to clarity concerning what we really want.

So below are three myths laid to rest, ensuring a firmer grasp of the female mind and increasing your chances of securing a date on February the 14th!

1.    Women only care about looks

If you’re putting yourself through your paces down the gym in order to acquire that buff bod that apparently all women desire, then stop right there! If women only cared about the way you look, we wouldn’t get so excited about getting to know you.

The real essence of what women are looking for in a potential spouse is an array of personal characteristics that will send them wild – be it an infectious sense of humour (just take a look at this Mail Online article ) or a kind nature, qualities far override appearance in the lurve department!

Eharmony is a new dating site that prohibits the use of pictures but emphasises the importance of who you are spiritually, partnering people on the qualities they share.

2.    Women crave attention 24/7

OK, so we may be more demanding than our male counterparts, but it really doesn’t take much to make us happy; all we ask is that you demonstrate how you feel about us every once in a while. Small gestures can do it: the odd compliment, an unexpected text message or a bunch of flowers.

We don’t crave attention, just a little reassurance that we’re making you just as happy as you’re making us. For those of you in relationships, see this article detailing how you can show your partner you care.

3.    Women are jealous of all your female companions

Trust can be a massive issue in any relationship simply because learning how to trust can be the hardest lesson to learn of all. As long as you can show you can be trusted, then having female friends can work in your favour; it will indicate to your spouse that you are in touch with your sensitive side and are attentive to women rather than dismissive. See this article for further advice on how to deal with jealousy.
