An insecure person will unconsciously seek out relationships with men who are insecure and who will make them feel more insecure. They will want the unavailable guys, the guys who can’t commit, the guys who have walls up. These are the ones they will feel infatuated by, not the ones who show real, genuine interest. Oftentimes this happens because on an unconscious level, the insecure girl feels that if she can break through his walls, or get him to change his ways, then she’ll really be worthy and valuable. This never, ever works. Instead, she just ends up compromising her integrity even further by chasing the relationship.

Being self-centered or self-absorbed communicates to a man that any interest you are showing him is merely agenda based. What this means is that even if you actually do like him, nothing you do will get this message across because he’ll feel as if your interest in him is simply based on what he can do for you. This is relationship suicide.

Being unreasonably jealous whenever he spends time with his friends: Time with the men isn’t merely just for fun and friendship. It keeps him sane, grounded in his masculinity, and far more capable to deal with both the challenges of life and the challenges he’ll face with his woman.

Unfortunately, getting jealous whenever your guy interacts with other women never works in your favor. Whether your jealousy shows itself through violent outbursts or passive-aggressive pettiness doesn’t matter. There’s always some form of collateral damage that will cause his trust, respect, and adoration for you to corrode over time.

One of the most irresistible qualities that high-quality men desperately want in a woman is this: Complete acceptance of him for the man he is. If you can love a man unconditionally, even accepting the ugly things about him, he’ll develop an emotional connection with you that won’t be easily broken because he’ll feel as if you just ‘get him.

The thing is, most men secretly crave appreciation, but they’ll never admit it for fear of looking needy or weak. The more you appreciate a man, I mean REALLY appreciate him, the better he’ll feel about himself. The better he feels about himself the more confident he will be in his ability to love you, romance you, and make you happy.

The mistake some women make in this regard is that they simply don’t know how to be supportive both in enthusiasm and in significant action. If you’ve been dating a guy for several weeks and he feels a strong enough connection with you to tell you that he wants to purchase his own Starbucks franchise someday, don’t simply log it away in the back of your mind as if he said something inconsequential. Communicate your enthusiasm by asking him questions about this aspiration of his and more importantly, at some point be sure to thank him for sharing his dreams with you.

Treating strangers, service personnel, and people of lower social status like garbage: If a woman has the habit of treating those of lesser station than herself like garbage, the only kinds of men she’ll attract will be guys who either treat others the same way or guys who don’t respect themselves enough to pass on such women.

Guys like this understand that birds of a feather do, in fact, flock together. They understand that you and your friends will have many shared beliefs, interests, and even personalities.
