Master the art of attraction!

Gen Y chicks are smart, intelligent and not to mention, extremely demanding. When it comes to the man of their choice, they precisely know the difference between Mr Right and Mr Right Now.

So, to make it a little easier for the uber-cool guys we bring a checklist of what new age divas define as attractors and repeller...

Mr Big Shot
He looks elegant, talks slick and smells great. His perfectly coiffed looks impress all the women he passes by. Most of them love to be in the company of classy rich men- but try not to get swept away by his richie rich airs. Shruti Bhatia, a media person says, "My boyfriend takes me to lavish restaurants for dinner, opts for the costliest wine in the menu and throws a lavish bash on my birthday. It's great to have such a man as your arm candy when you walk into a party. But the only problem is, he is so good that I feel as if I always have to be as perfect and sophisticated as he is."

Guy Tip: Being chic and stylish does not mean, being artificial. If you are aiming at something more than a fling, remember, women like gentlemen, not the ones who pretend to be one. Pranay Singh, a businessman opines, "Never lose you identity while you are trying to woo the woman of your choice. Women find genuine guys more trustworthy. Ours was an arranged marriage and before tying the knot I really tried hard to impress my wife. I thought, showing off my wealth was the easiest way of impressing her. But soon after my marriage, I realised that more than my expensive gifts and designer outfits, she was interested in knowing the real me."

Mr Metrosexual
Gone are the days when only women used to take hours in dressing up and used to splurge recklessly on their beauty treatments. Welcome to the world of the ultra modern, metrosexual men, who is as conscious about his eyebrows, nails and facials as his female counterparts.

Simran Gupta, an airhostess says, "Because of my profession I have to be very careful, when it comes to my looks. Even a pimple can give me nightmares. I am glad my hubby understands this completely, we go for spa treatments and body massages together. I was never fond of hairy men and my man takes care of his physical appearance which is what keeps me hooked on to him."

Guy Tip: While on a date don't go on and on with your beauty problems. Secondly, some women find such behavior the sign of being gay, so keep your beauty treatments talk to yourself. Sumita Roy, a human resource officer, shares her experience, "I really appreciate well groomed men, as it's definitely the need of the hour. However, when I see my husband using my face packs and my skin cosmetics, it really irritates me. Some of my female friends find his habits a little abnormal so when he openly flaunts his preference for grooming, I need a corner to hide."


Normal is boring
A large number of girls in their late teens and early twenties think good guys are boring and bad boys aren't worth the trouble. Therefore they generally fall for those who fall somewhere between the two.

Saloni Mehra, a student says, "Toby was my guitar teacher and I simply loved the way he carried himself and the depth in his eyes. Finally, I gathered the courage to ask him out for coffee. On our first date, I realised he was not a shy loner. He had dated some gorgeous and interesting women in the past. He had an amazing bunch of friends and they were in the process of creating their own band. Despite me being so different from him, Toby combined the best of both worlds - a toughie with a soft heart. I would define him as Vodka with Vanilla ice-cream."
