There’s really no shortage of desirable qualities in a woman. But when it comes to the summertime, there are certain qualities that stand above the rest. Here are 10 things that men like in women during the hot summer months.
1. Your Best Foot Forward
Simply put, pedicures should be a top priority when the summer months roll around, especially if open-toed shoes are a major part of your wardrobe. Now, the chipped paint or that one toe that likes to hide underneath the others may not be a big deal to you, but we do notice. The fellas enjoy meeting a woman who takes pride in her feet — even if we don’t take care of our own.
2. She’s Got Legs
Men disagree on our favorite female body part. What we can agree on is our mutual appreciation for smooth legs. We understand shaving becomes sporadic during the winter. We just assume that when the clothes are shed, the leg hair will follow. The women that grasp this fact pass our summertime final with flying colors.
3. Fashionably Flirty
We may not know as much as you about fashion. What we do know is that our all-time favorite summer ensemble is a woman wearing a sexy sundress and sandals. Pull that off, and you’re guaranteed a second (or third) look from us. The sundress accentuates your curves, while the sandals show off a fresh pedicure; now that’s the stuff male dreams are made of.
4. She’s Got That Glow
Far more potent than Bruce Leroy’s “Last Dragon” glow, vibrant skin goes a long way in rendering us helpless. We’re not sure if it’s the cocoa butter, baby oil, or the vitamin E pills that do the trick. Whatever it is, we hope you keep doing it.
5. The Colors of Love
We get bored with the winter months’ predictable assembly line of women in black, brown and gray. But once the temperature begins to rise, it’s the women who unleash an assortment of bright and flirty hues that really catch our eye.
6. Fit To Be Queen
As soon as it gets hot outside, some women start shedding clothes and revealing body parts that should probably be kept between them and God (I’m just being honest here). We appreciate the opportunity to sneak a peek, we’d just rather it be on a woman who stuck to her New Year’s resolution and worked hard to achieve a hot summer body.
7. Goodbye Curfew
Is it just me, or do women have a curfew when it’s cold outside? It’s almost as if you’d rather stay in and catch that same episode of “Law and Order: SVU” than to socialize with the bachelors in your city. That seems to change during the summer though, as women go out more and stay out later. We like that a lot.
8. Dare To Be Bold
Men love women who operate from a more adventurous playbook during the summertime. The ladies just seem to be more open during the warmer weather. What we do know is that a woman’s desire to live a freer existence makes this our favorite time of year.
9. Cool and Casual
It’s never been just about a woman dressing up and being dainty with us. For men —especially during the summertime — we also enjoy hanging out with a woman who can dress down and be comfortable in any environment. So throw on some shorts, pull back your hair, and show us the side we rarely get to see.
10. The Barbecue Sidekick
For most men, the grill is sacred, as we exude manhood by barbecuing for our friends and family. And every man is looking for a “Barbecue Bonnie & Clyde” arrangement. While he’s manning his world-class ribs, she’s whipping up delicious sides like baked beans and potato salad. We always appreciate a woman who has our back!
