Attracting men isn't all cleavage and conversation. A beautiful face, thin waist or stories of being on the 'Amazing Race' may help you land a date, but it doesn't ensure you'll get a second one. Traits land second dates. Not looks. Not wealth. Not health. It's your words and actions that spark attraction and passion. And convince him to see you again.

There are ten personality traits that attract men. Each reveals a part of a woman's true character. They show men if you're going to be a good match. If you're a good person. If you have what it takes to make him happy. If you're short-term or long-term dating material. Needless to say, it's important for women to have all ten traits.

Having five of the ten traits isn't enough. Missing a single one can ruin a date or relationship in the blink of an eye. But if a woman has these traits, she'll never be single for long, because she'll be labelled as 'cool.' This means she can hang around with his circle of friends, will be loved and respected by others, and is potential relationship material.

These personality traits attract success not only in the dating world, but in the business world as well. Each one can dramatically improve the quality of your life. So make sure you get the promotion and second date you want by ensuring having each of the ten personality traits listed below.

Positive outlook
Men can't help but be attracted to positive women. These women act like magnets. Wherever they're standing in a room, a crowd follows to bathe in their positive glow. A big smile, followed by some kind words, is their trademark greeting and usually all it takes to win men over.

The world can be a negative place, full of disappointment and failure. People are naturally attracted to positive people because they make us feel good about ourselves. They make us feel safe. They make us feel special.

Men always look forward to meeting women who will give them positive re-enforcements. They feel stronger, sexier in her presence. Their ideas seem smarter. Life seems easier. For men, a woman wearing a big smile and projecting a positive outlook appears twice as attractive.

Learn: To find the bright side of everything. Spend time discovering what makes each person special and tell them why that is. Tell stories that uplift the human spirit. Remind everyone around you what a great place the world can be and what an important part they play in it.

Confidence
A confident woman is alluring. She stands out in a crowd. Her posture is powerful. Her eyes self-assured. Her walk mesmerizing. She isn't afraid to be the center of attention or shift into the background. Nor is she afraid to just be herself. For a man, a confident woman is hard to find and even harder to keep his eyes off of.

Confidence is a mix of many. Combine a healthy self-image, strong body language, the smell of success and a certain swagger, and you've got confidence. Confidence is addictive to everyone around you. It's a powerful emotion they all want to be a part of in hopes it will rub off on them.

Men are especially attracted to women who are just a little bit too cocky. Picture the self-assured, playful attitude of Renee Russo in the Thomas Crown Affair or Kelly McGillis in Top Gun. They offer men a constant challenge, always play by their own rules and use a touch of arrogant humor to make them magical to men.

Learn: To love yourself. You have to have faith in your abilities, ideas and personality to radiate confidence. If you believe you're a great person to be around in any situation, your body language, mannerisms, actions and conversations will reflect exactly that.

Aggression
Men love women who aren't afraid to go after the things they want in life. Aggression takes energy, vitality, fearlessness, ambition and passion. All are emotions men covet in women and want in their own lives. Each are also emotions a man partners with sexuality. Thus, an aggressive woman will be seen as a more sexual figure than a passive woman.
