5 ways to impress Indian women

Attraction is an interesting thing. What is attractive for one could be cringeworthy to another. What is just another insignificant small thing for some could be a huge turn-on for another. Sense of humour, a man who cooks or a two-day old stubble are just too mainstream. For some of us, the clichéd flowers and candles just won’t cut it. Here are some of the quirkiest turn-ons for Indian women.
Geekiness: Trust me when I say that some of us find the geekiness in men very hot.Because some of us are little nerdy ourselves. This does not mean that you end up randomly quoting Star Wars while standing next to Wolverine like a certain someone in recent times, if you get our obscure internet reference, or maybe a Math joke, it will just make us like you more. So, if you come across a woman who would rather spend her Friday evening watching anime, bring your inner geek out and you may be in for some serious fun!
Good shoes: Yes, we pay attention to minor details and footwear is essential. Those red suede shoes? Why not? White shirt, blue jeans and red shoes. Add that dash of colour! Or if you choose to wear sandals or flip-flops (because it is a casual date to the beach or park maybe) make sure your nails are clean. Yes, we do notice little things and clean toes turn us on because in a way it says hygiene is important and you take time out take care of yourself.
The guy who writes: Have a way with words? It is easier to find your way to our hearts. You do not have to use big words which require a dictionary on a standby. But if you could express yourself well with words, it leaves a lasting impression. This also means avoid typing lyk dis. No, smartphones have autocorrect and it is just easier to make use of it than to go out of your way to misspell the words while you are texting.
Running: Seen Milind Soman? Seen him run barefoot on roads? At the risk of objectifying men, there is something about those quads that makes us drool. And those shins. Running is fun, gives instant adrenaline and nothing better than running to improve your health significantly. A healthy man, a man who takes care of his fitness is a huge turn-on for the urban woman, who themselves have run a marathon or two in recent times. (No, not those gross muscles which make you look like a cross between Johnny Bravo and Suniel Shetty.) After all pheromones are just science and you can’t argue with science.
Hands: Long fingers, clean nails, rough yet well taken care of hands - the turn-ons are varied. So are the wrists. The way you hold the door open for her (which you must, because it is nice to make us feel special) and the strong grip you have. But always, always make sure your under nails do not have the black goo underneath them. As a friend of mine said, “those fingers have the potential to do a lot more, they better be clean.”
At the end of it, just be yourself. Nothing turns us on more than a man who is comfortable in his own skin, with his own quirks.
