Life would be a lot easier if we could understand what men are thinking sometimes, but this survey on what men find attractive in women has at least given us a glimpse into their thought process.

A lot of people might tend to think that physical appearance comes top of the list in terms of attractiveness, but it turns out this is not the case. 

According to a study conducted by match.com, macho men and dependant women are a thing of the pass, and we must say, we are happy to hear this. 

It has been found through this survey conducted by dating site match.com, which asked over 5,000 people, that men are seeking an intellectual and independent woman, with 87% of them saying they would like to date someone who is more intelligent than they are. 

Also up there on the list, is confidence. 86% of the men surveyed want a woman who is confident and self-assured and they said they would be ok with the woman asking them out on a date in stead of the other way around. 

But the most attractive trait, according to the survey and in our opinion too, is a good sense of humour. A huge 90% of men think a good sense of humour is just as important, if not more important, than physical attractiveness. 

So there you have it ladies, the way to a man's heart is just having the craic with him.
