The 9 Types of Women That Men Fall in Love With

Posted: 12/06/10 04:19 PM ET

Have you ever wondered how to make a man fall in love with you?

I am a professional matchmaker, and here's what I know:

  1. Men fall in love with women who seem special, who seem different from the other women with whom they have been out. Make sure to differentiate yourself.
  2. Men fall in love with women whom they are afraid to lose.
  3. Men fall in love with women who respect themselves and demand respect from a man. A man can smell, from a mile away, a woman who is lacking in self-respect.
  4. Men fall in love with women who are happy with themselves. Why would a man love you if you don't love yourself?
  5. Men fall in love with women who pick "the right time" to have sex. When is the right time? It can be any time, but it should be a time when you know deep down that it's right and that he agrees. When a man likes you, he will not be looking to "lay" you; he will be looking to make love to you.
  6. Men fall in love with women whom they will be proud to introduce to their friends and family. What does this mean? You can't be a basketcase, a girl who causes a scene or a girl who drinks too much. Why would he want to bring all that into his life?
  7. Men fall in love with women who doesn't make his life harder. Is it okay to play some games? Sure. Is it okay to give him a hard time sometimes to keep him on his toes? Of course. And is it okay to pick your spots to make a point? Sure. However, there is a difference between giving a guy a hard time and making his life hard.
  8. Men fall in love with women who are helpful and help them take care of things. A man wants to be with a woman who will be a partner and help him get out of jams, help him think of things he forgot to remember, and help him improve his life. Try to stay ahead of the curve. You know what your guy needs; help him get it.
  9. Men fall in love with women who continually keep it interesting. No one wants to be with someone who is boring or who is always the same. Keep recreating an interesting you.

I often wonder if men ever fall in love - a lot of them fall into lust and when that fades they just go along with arrangements if it is to their advantage - they can always have a little bit on the side if the lust rears it head again.

I like men but I think women give them too much credit when it comes to relationship analyses. I think lust and the family/social/culture wishes have more to do with selection than love. So in my mind all that matchmaking advice is just a way for someone to make a job for herself - their hormones have a lot more to do with the decision than love..

Most men don't put this much thought into marriage partners. It tends to become a selection of the one most likely to provide physical access, and is surely a reason why divorce is so prevalent today.

.... Agreed. It boils down to who has the smallest waist and big hip ratio to ensure offspring.

I have lived and learnt that "all is fair in love" and a little bit of strategy in the affairs of the heart is welcome as long as it serves the respectable purpose of making a loving partnership durable.
There is nothing out of the ordinary in this list of tips but I suspect it might not be that useless to remind some love birds of a few common-sense rules.
