When it comes to the initial things guys notice first in a woman, you'd be surprised at how much guys really observe! Whether it's a first date, a chance encounter at a coffee shop, or simply passing by on the street, the male mind is a curious and funny thing. Sit tight, because we're diving deep into what makes them tick – and it's not always what you think.
One of the things guys always notice first is a woman's smile. There's something undeniably magnetic about a bright, genuine grin that can light up a whole room. Trust me, throughout my college days, I can't count the number of times a simple smile turned heads faster than the latest Marvel movie trailer.
Speaking of smiles, the second most noticeable feature is her eyes. Now, I know this might sound cliché, but in 2024, with trends shifting towards minimalistic vibes, those windows to the soul are more captivating than ever. There's a certain magic in catching someone's eye between classes or at the local bookstore. Your eyes tell your own story, and guys are definitely tuning in.
Of course, we can't overlook hair. Whether you're rocking a fierce pixie cut or luscious long waves, your hairstyle screams personality. Seriously, remember that one time I dyed my hair blue during junior year? The reactions were priceless! But it also showed me just how much attention guys pay to those locks.
And let's talk about style. You don't have to be dressed to the nines, but that stylish confidence certainly gets noticed. Think about it – a simple, well-put-together outfit can speak volumes about who you are. From chic jackets to stand-out sneakers, your clothes can start conversations before you even say a word.
Lastly, never underestimate the power of body language. Your posture and the way you carry yourself can totally capture a guy's attention. A confident walk, a warm hug, or even how you sit during a lecture can send signals.
For a comprehensive breakdown of how these elements play into the larger picture, check out our section on Smile and Confidence. If you're curious about how your posture can make waves, don't miss Posture.
So, if you're wondering what’s captivating about you, just remember that the beauty is multifaceted. From that knockout smile to the perfect ensemble, there's a whole array of features guys notice first and foremost. And who knows – maybe you'll start noticing these things about yourself, too.

1. Luscious Locks
Usually, when a guy sees a girl, his eyes automatically look at her face. And he thinks about whether or not she is pretty to him. But what if his first glimpse of you is the back of your head? Some guys have said that they can tell if a girl is pretty or not just by looking at the back of her head! Wanna know how? Her hair! A girl's hair is a dead-give away on how she takes care of herself and presents herself. Make sure your hair is shiny, luscious and bouncy. Even if you don't have time to curl it everyday, at least make sure it's clean and combed out. Your hair should look like it smells heavenly and feels like silk!
Guys often notice things like your smile, eyes, and overall vibe. It's amazing how much you can communicate without saying a word!
Let's face it, people are visual creatures. Appearance can be the first thing that grabs their attention, but it's your personality that keeps it!
Absolutely, a new hairstyle or color can really catch their eye. It's like a bold statement saying, 'Hey, something's different!'
Guys often notice things like confidence, humor, and kindness. You know, those little things that make conversations sparkle.

2. Perfect Posture
A girl who carries her head high and stands straight and tall sends a message out into the crowd. It says, "Hey, I'm confident, comfortable and sexy. I'm the girl you want to get to know!" That's one of the things guys notice first about a girl! Just think how someone with slumpy, slouchy shoulders looks. Would YOU want to get to know someone who walked around like they had the weight of the world on their shoulders?

3. Your Friends
Surprisingly, the company a girl keeps has a big impact on first impressions that she makes. You know the statement "Birds of a feather flock together"? Well, it's true! And in most cases, if a girl has loud, whiny, sassy or rude friends, a guy may assume the same thing about her, even if she attracted him at the beginning. But if a girl seems to have a tight knit group of friends who all seem to be having a great time together, it sends a signal that she is genuine and caring. That's one of the things guys notice first and love right away!

4. Your Pout
Kissing has been proven to be one of the world's greatest stress relievers and research shows that most humans spend about 20,160 minutes per lifetime smooching. Wowza! So it's no wonder that one of the things guys notice first is your lips. Are they soft and smooth? Red or pink? Shiny and kissable? You can bet that he's going to be wondering that until he finds out, so why not make it sweet suspense? Your lips should be kiss-ready every time you walk out your front door.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Perfect Dance Moves
A girl who can dance with the best of them proves a few things: She is confident in her skin, she knows how to have a good time, and she's not afraid to bust a few moves! Plus, that makes a girl impossible not to notice! So next time you are kickin' it out on the dance floor, remember that you are being noticed and try to have a good time! Don't be fake and over-the-top, but do have some genuine fun. Guys definitely notice a girl who is havin' herself a ball!

6. What You Carry around
Believe it or not, your purse and other stuff you take with you reveal a lot about your personality! A girl who carries a huge purse full of makeup and other stuff like that is probably pretty high maintenance. A girl who has interesting books or puzzles on hand has a cool personality and loves to learn. A girl with a bright pink phone case is probably bubbly and sweet to be around! A girl with NO purse at all is laid-back, chill and spur of the moment. The girl who carries toothpaste, travel size deodorant and lint rollers is always prepared for anything. And yes, guys do notice these things, ladies!

7. Your Smile
Oh here's an obvious one! But no matter how obvious or cliché it may be, guys DO notice a girl who smiles. And most of them can tell if it's real or fake. There's a few who can be fooled - I always hate it when a super-nice guy is stuck with a girl who he THINKS is a princess but we all know her game and it's not nice. But a guy who is attuned and ready can spot a real smile 5 miles out. So get you some teeth whitener and breath strips and get ready to shine, even on days you don't feel like it. It's one of the things guys notice!

8. High Heels
Not that you have to wear high heels every single day, but a girl in a pair of skyscrapers is one thing that guys notice first. High heels symbolize sexiness, strength and boldness. So don't be afraid to pop those babies on every now and then! Mix it up between heels and flats, but make sure you wear heels at least a couple times a week. You never know when Mr. Right will bump into you. And I always say it's best to be prepared!

9. How You Strut
A sultry strut can reveal a lot to a guy. Remember in "The Princess Diaries" when Princess Mia got walking lessons? It's true that the way a person walks has a big influence on how they are perceived. Walk with purpose, style, and grace. Walk like a lady! You don't need to swagger, or walk like you're on the fashion runway, but do remember that you are a lady and a man-like stomp will not be cute or sexy to a guy!

10. Your Attitude
Probably the most important non-physical thing that guys notice first about a girl is her attitude. A girl can be as beautiful as a sun goddess and as sexy as all get-out, but if she has a bad or ugly attitude, a guy will drop her faster than you can say hello. No man wants to be tied down to a mean witch! So make sure that attitude is in ship-shape, and I guarantee you a guy will notice. I realize we all have bad days, just try not to let the bad days have YOU!

11. Unique Fashion Sense
Guys love women who wear unique and interesting clothing over showing too much skin. They would rather you wear something like hot pink skinny jeans, a fox sweater, and a leather jacket than see you with barely anything on.

12. Gluteus Maximus
Also known as your bum, booty, or butt! Guys love what you've got going on back there and they love when you show it off in those skinny jeans. Be confidant with your beautiful curves, because guys love them!

13. Feet
High heels are sexy, however guys want you to take care of your feet as well. Give yourself a pedicure and be kind to your toes and feet because the fellas are looking, especially when you're wearing sandals that show them off! No-one wants to see scabby, dry cracked heels and ragged toe nails.
There's a thin line between being sexy and slutty, pretty and overdone, confident and proud, or sweet and fake. And it takes a special girl to be genuine enough to master that line! Now that you have this list of things guys notice first, you will have it down in no time. Please comment below if you loved my article or have anything to share with us! For instance, what do you notice first about guys?

Hate to say it ain't always True... Allow me, if you will, to Shatter your perspective a moment. I Work in the Construction Industry. I have Long Hair that's usually tied up some kind of way. My WHITE T-Shirts are generally no longer WHITE. I wear jeans, also generally dirty, and work boots. One day I'm sitting in this place I usually go, and up walks this man I had never seen there before. Sexy as hell, Deep Blue Eyes, STRONG. He's wearing a Rolex Watch, Jeans, T-Shirt, Flip Flops. Looks Like A "Yuppie" and CLEARLY NOT MY TYPE. He sits down next to me & Introduces Himself. I shake his hand, STRONG LARGE HANDS he has, & we're just sitting there talking. A friend tells me "you're going to end up with him". I started laughing & said "not likely". Well, we started out as Friends, got to know each other, became BEST FRIENDS, then became Lovers. Wouldn't you know that man that I "Thought" was a "Yuppie" is actually the kindest, most down to earth MAN I've ever met in my Life. He's Also A FIREFIGHTER/PARAMEDIC. Captain 32 years now with the Fire Service. He was attracted to the DIRT!!! LOVES ME TO THIS DAY 3 1/3 Years Later.
how do u get your self at that line, im nice when u get to know me but at first i may come out as a bit off but i need to show who i really am and im not sure how
Wow that was great! I really needed that advice because school's starting soon and there's going to be a ton of new kids. Which means new boys, and i never seem to come across to a guy as a girl he should get to know better. Thank you so much!
I agree a girl who is confident in her skin, she knows how to have a good time, and does not act like a total bitch is always most attractive. Non-clingy, non-needy, in-control, smart and not afraid to take what she wants!
