What Makes Someone Attractive? The Dominant Zodiac Sign Personality Traits That Make Men Attracted To You

What makes someone attractive?

At first, you might think solely of looks — but looks aren't the only thing that attracts one person to another.

According to astrology, you were born with certain dominant personality traits in your horoscope that a man will find completely alluring.

It's in the way that both your zodiac signs connect with each other's when in a relationship that makes the attraction magnetic.

Did you know that every zodiac sign has something that is so intoxicating and sexy about them that someone out there in the world can't help but be attracted to them? It's true!

There is someone out there who just can't get enough of you, based on your zodiac sign.

Maybe it's the way you always make him laugh or maybe you're just one of the kindest people he knows, but whenever he's with you, he can't help but crush on you a little more each time.

Now, if you're like me, you might be thinking something like, "Well, yeah, of course, he's into me, I'm amazing!" But also like me, it can be hard to actually pinpoint exactly what it is that keeps him around.

Set aside all physical qualities that make a guy swoon — there's more what makes someone attractive. Looks are one thing, but it can't be the only thing you need to keep a guy around.

In fact, it might make you seem a little shallow if all you do is worry about what your guy looks like. I'm not saying looks and physical attractiveness aren't important at all, but they're certainly not at the top of the list.

What I'm talking about are the qualities or astrological personality traits you have that you might not think are important or place significance on yourself, but are things that he picks up on right away.

Think about when you first started dating your guy (or when you first met him, if you're not dating yet). What was it that drew you to him?

When I think of my guy, I can say with certainty that his humor was something that kept me close to him — it was intoxicating to me! I am a big fan of guys who can make me laugh, even if their go-to thing is just a bunch of cheesy jokes.

What can I say? There's just something about having someone get me out of my own head with a dumb joke that I'm attracted to.

When I asked my boyfriend the same question, he said my rear... when I asked him again, he said that he was drawn to the fact that nothing brought me down. He says that he still admires my toughness and the fact that I'll stick up for myself when I have to.

If you ask me, these intoxicating, sexy qualities each zodiac sign has is what keeps the relationship strong because your partner probably sees your character as something that inspires them to work harder and be more like you (and vice versa).

But if you're curious to know what about you makes someone attractive based on their zodiac sign, keep reading.

You might learn something new about yourself!

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Your confidence is what kills, Aries. There's something about your presence when you walk into a room — the same presence that says, "I am not a boss, I am the boss," — that makes it impossible for him not to stare.

Just because you're confident doesn't mean you're conceited (a trait that can actually be a big turn-off). But, being Aries, you always seem to know what you're doing and you have the ability to differentiate between the two.

This confidence you exude extends to all corners of your life — from your love life to your personal life to your career — and even in times when you're unsure of yourself, you never show it.

Your ability to embrace change and walk into the unknown with your chin held high is what makes you attractive because it means that no matter what life throws at you, you can handle it with grace (which is incredibly sexy).

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus, the most attractive about you is that you always stand up for yourself. Whether you're demanding respect from your family and friends or you're sticking up for yourself against anyone who hurts you, you don't take crap from anyone.

But, all of that said, you're still incredibly loving and friendly. You don't go looking for reasons to start fights with people.

Besides being able to stand up for yourself in pretty much any situation, what makes you so intoxicating to him is your warmth. It's almost as if your soul is radiating a warmth that he can't help but be attracted to.

You're the kind of person who actively goes looking for people who make you feel happy and loved because you know that they're the ones who will receive your warmth the most — and he's totally into it.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Gemini, there's no denying that you are always changing your mind; moving from one thought (and person) to the next. And unfortunately, that can make you seem really flaky to people who want to get to know you better.

But even though you have a hard time sticking to your guns, this is actually not a flaw at all. Instead, it makes you an alpha, which is crazy intoxicating to him.

I'm sure you might be thinking, "Uhhh, how is my indecisiveness attractive?!" right now but hear me out.

Even though you tend to contradict yourself on an almost-daily basis, you're also honest about who you are. You own your flip-flopping and it makes you more open-minded for it.

Instead of getting tunnel vision about what you want in life or your relationships, you're willing to try anything until you find what really makes you happy. If that's not sexy, I don't know what is.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Cancer, you are one zodiac sign that uses your big heart to intoxicate the man you're into. You are someone who just has so much love in your heart that it's almost impossible for you to keep it to yourself.

Even your friends agree that whenever they're spending time with you, you're always making sure that everyone is having a good time and is happy. So, when it comes to dating, you're the partner who intoxicates your guy with homecooked meals, sweet little nose kisses, and romantic nights in.

This is incredibly intoxicating and sexy to him, not just because he has someone who cares for him deeply, but because the amount of love you show you have for him means more than any grand gesture.

Plus, the fact that you're clearly so comfortable around him that you two can just chill at home and it's still so romantic is his idea of love.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

The best thing about you in general, Leo, is also what makes you so intoxicating to him: your humor. Not only can you make pretty much anyone laugh in almost any situation (or at least crack a big smile), but you also know how to see the humor in life.

Instead of getting too serious about things that you know won't matter in a year or two, you're just worried about making the most out of every day. Whenever someone reminisces on some good memories they've had, there's a very good chance that you're the reason those memories were so great.

He sees how you always make time for your friends and you care about having fun no matter what, and he can't help but be attracted to you for it. To him, the sexiest thing about you is your light-heartedness that never seems to fade.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

The most attractive thing about you, Virgo, is your maturity. You're not the kind of person your partners have to worry about getting into petty fights or starting drama for the heck of it, and it totally pays off in the end.

You know the value of relationships (and more importantly, keeping them for a long time). So when it comes to what makes you sexy, he would agree with pretty much anyone who knows you that being mature is both admirable and intriguing.

Chances are, you've already mentioned to your guy what you're looking for in a relationship — and more specifically, that you're looking for something serious and long-term.

So, when he sees that you're not someone to take your relationship lightly, it makes him want to be a better partner for you. And he finds it crazy intoxicating that you can constantly teach him new things about love.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Whether you're with your friends or your partner, Libra, you always try to be someone that the people you love most can come to with their problems.

In fact, you're probably the best person to come to whenever someone wants to vent or catch up or just talk about nothing because you're always wiling to listen (and you love making people feel special).

This personality trait makes you most attractive, but not just within your relationship. He sees how you always try to make your friends smile, the fact that you'd move heaven and earth just to help someone you love, and that after all of that, you still have a love for yourself.

He's not sure just how you do it, but he's impressed either way and he never wants to lose the connection he has with you. He's hooked!

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpio, your intensity is crazy sexy (but you already knew that) and he is so into you because of it. The way you're able to hold eye contact when you talk to your guy that makes it feel like you're looking at his soul.

How you're totally unafraid to talk about any and every topic without feeling shy or awkward about it, and how every night in the bedroom with you is different and new. You know that you're sexy, but you definitely don't let that fact go to your head.

You know that your intensity is an essential part of your personality and you just like the fact that he's drawn to it rather than scared away by it. You might not admit it right away, but you need the people in your life to be as ambitious and passionate as you are; those ride-or-die friends and partners who are in it for the long haul with you.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Your most attractive personality trait, Sagittarius, is the fact that you are a true believer in being yourself.

It doesn't matter if your best friend likes to get dressed up every weekend and party her booty off, or if your partner is the kind of guy who has seen almost every movie on Netflix and is best friends with his bed — you just love the fact that the people you love, love themselves completely.

You know that you can seem a little flaky or like you don't care about anything besides yourself when you go off and do whatever you want, whenever you want, but it's actually crazy sexy because you never try to hide who you really are just to impress someone or fit in.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorn, your sharp tongue might intimidate some people, but it really intoxicates him — like, more than you know. In fact, everything about you is intoxicating, but everything about you can also be really intimidating.

You are someone who knows exactly what they want out of life and you're not afraid to show just how ambitious you can be when it comes to fighting for something (or someone you're passionate about).

But even with this 'stay out of my way' attitude propelling you forward in life, you're also really witty and he loves that. He's so into the fact that he can have an intelligent conversation with you and you're able to throw in some seriously sarcastic jokes that can make him crack up and blush at the same time.

It's super sexy to him that he has to work hard to keep up with you.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius, you are the kind of zodiac sign that has sparkling energy that sticks around, even when you leave a room. Your personality is magnetic and intoxicating to him because you're totally unafraid to be yourself, even when your 'self' is unlike anything anyone has ever experienced before.

For him, the intoxicating quality you have comes from your originality. You love trying new things and you often get your guy out of his comfort zone where it's a little scary and a lot of fun because you know that the scariest parts of life are the ones that make the biggest impacts.

He also knows that you care about him and that even though you might make him a little nervous, you'd never do anything to intentionally hurt him; he knows that you think of him as a friend and a partner.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces, you are the zodiac sign who is both the best friend and the perfect partner. You're sensitive and kind, all while being able to sweep your man off of his feet on a regular basis.

What makes that so intoxicating to him is that he feels like he's constantly trying to figure you out; you're kind of a mystery and kind of an open book, and he loves the fact that your relationship together is like a fairytale come true.

You always want to make the people in your life feel loved and whenever he's with you, he sees the effort you make with your friends, family, and with him. He would rather be with you through thick and thin than with anyone else because you show him that love is about making things last, no matter what.

He finds your ability to inspire him every day crazy intoxicating.
