What do men find sexy? Women have been trying to answer this question since the dawn of time. Yet there is still so much that we don't know. Some of the things that men find attractive are pretty obvious, but some of what men find sexy is a bit more mysterious. I did some asking around and found out some unexpected things men like - it turns out, the answers varied incredibly among the men I talked with. Just as women find different things sexy, so do men.

Read on to find out what men find attractive as well as what moves turn men off. You'll be as surprised as I was! 

1. Scars. It turns out that what many women might feel self-conscious about are actually a turn-on for a lot of men. Who would have guessed that scars on women could be seen as sexy? Maybe it's all about a sense of danger and mystery that come with having visible scars. While you might feel like covering them up with makeup or clothing, they are really not as much of a flaw as you probably think! Bonus points if you have an exciting story to share about where the scar came from. 

2. Toned arms. We all know how men feel about a woman's derriere, but apparently they find toned arms pretty sexy, too! Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Is it time to take a break from the squats and crunches to focus on arm-toning techniques? Maybe so - in some studies, long, toned arms on women scored "sexier" when rated by men than long, toned legs did! If that doesn't shock you, I don't know what will.

3. Your laugh. Find a man who's incredibly funny - he'll keep making you laugh, a sound he finds really attractive! Science actually explains this one pretty clearly: apparently, a woman's laughter reminds men of the moans he hears from her in the bedroom. Don't hold back the laughter! Here's one reason to skip the lovey-dovey flick on the first date in favor of a comedy. He'll probably appreciate it!

4. Your mind. Don't be fooled - the stereotype that men prefer dumb, pretty girls is baloney. Most men actually prefer a woman they can have a stimulating conversation with, especially if it means she has a sharp sense of humor. Don't dumb yourselves down, ladies! You won't be doing yourself any favors.

5. Your goofy side. It turns out that men are turned off by women who are serious all the time - it shows that they don't know how to let their guard down and have a good time. Don't be a grouch! Let the goofy, playful side of your personality shine through. Make jokes, play around with him and don't be "all business" all the time. What could be more boring? Don't take yourself too seriously. Be playful and show your love for life!

6. Independence. It probably doesn't surprise you that men are turned off by clinginess, but most of us probably have more room to be independent than we think. Encourage your man to spend a night out with the guys, keep your own hobbies and spend plenty of time doing your own thing. This shows that you're confident with yourself and not prone to feelings of jealousy when he's not around. If you're in a relationship, you're bound to depend on each other for certain things - and that's a good thing! But don't become so dependent that you lose yourself in the meantime. Otherwise, you're no longer the girl he fell for!

7. Your guilty pleasures. Your coffee addiction? Your nightly reality TV fix? He probably makes fun of you about it all the time, but many men secretly find these habits cute and sexy. These little indulgences show that you're human and make it easier for him to fess up to his own guilty pleasures, too. It's a simple and non threatening way to be vulnerable with each other while keeping things light-hearted.

8. Your appetite. While many women feel self-conscious eating in public - especially in front of men - there's no reason to! A lot of men are unexpectedly turned on by a woman who isn't afraid to chow down. Not just on salad or fruit either - enjoy those wings or a fully loaded burger if that's what you want! Don't worry too much about it - going all out once in awhile isn't going to make you blow up like a balloon or break out quite as easily as you would think.

9. Your post-workout sheen. If you're like me, you feel totally gross after a workout - sweaty, smelly, and badly in need of a shower! Would you ever have guessed that men actually find it sexy when a woman is all sweaty after a work out? It turns out that many of them do! Not sure what it is about working up a sweat - maybe it reminds them of something else?

10. Your gratitude. It turns out that men really appreciate hearing "thank you" and admiration for all they do for us. There's a primal need of men to want to take care of and please women - and a little appreciation goes a long way! Be sure to show how much all he does for you means to you.

Sex, relationships, and flirting - is there anything more confusing? Just when you think you know exactly what men find attractive based on what kind of relationship info, sex tips, and beauty advice you've read, you hear unexpected things like these that men find sexy! It is important to remember, though, that all men are different - just like all women are.

If you take anything away from this list of surprising things men are attracted to, it's that you should just be yourself - many of what you think are "flaws" are actually anything but! There are plenty of men out there who'll find all your quirks cute and sexy!
