Researchers at the University of Iowa have found that couples who start off as acquaintances (or friends), who are open to a relationship, and who dabble in casual sex, are just as likely to have long-term, happy relationships as do couples who take things “slow”.  The study which surveyed 642 adults in Chicago, measured the quality of their relationships by having people answer questions about how much they loved their partner, their level of satisfaction with intimacy in the relationships, the future of the relationships, and how their lives would be different if the relationship ended.

“We didn’t see much evidence that relationships were lower quality because they started off as hook-ups,” Paik, an assistant professor in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said. “The study suggests that rewarding relationships are possible for those who delay sex. But it’s also possible for true love to emerge if things start off with a more ‘Sex and the City’ approach, when people spot each other across the room, become sexually involved and then build a relationship,” he added.

So there it is lady and gentleman.  No longer should you be judging the possibilities of a relationship based on how early the two people got frisky.  What you should really be basing things on is how open the two people are to a relationship in general.  Makes sense right?  The quality of a relationship probably depends more on the personality of the people rather then how horny they are.

6. Swag (or confidence):

One of the big deal-sealers for a girl is when a guy has confidence. Nowadays you can’t listen to a new song on the radio without hearing something about “swag”.. he’s gotta have it, she’s gotta have it, but what is IT? Swag is confidence. It’s owning the room you walk into.  As always, don’t misconstrue swag with cockiness, because that will turn a girl off just as quick as your swag turned her on. So whatever you look like, however you dress, whoever you’re with.. own it. Be confident and secure about yourself and she’ll be impressed, because nothing’s worse than an insecure guy begging for reassurance.

5. Clothes:

Just like the way you notice how a girls ass looks in jeans, girls notice the way you’re ass looks too. Or the way your chest looks in that beater, or the way that striped polo looks absolutely ridiculous with those checkered shorts. Basically if you’re trying to make a good first impression, take a look in the full-length mirror and make sure you’re outfit matches and is flattering to your best assets before you head out the door.

4. Physique:

Just like there’s butt guys or boob guys, there’s leg girls and arm girls. We pay attention to all that time you boys spend in the gym and appreciate all the reps you do and time you spend on the treadmill. Whether you work out every day and have bigger biceps than Arnold Schwarznegger, or do the occasional jog around the block to work off that beer weight, keep that body healthy. As much as you pay attention to a girls shape, she pays attention to yours.

3. Eyes:

Bat those lashes boys, because if you didn’t know by now, girls are suckers for pretty eyes. Some ladies love dark, mysterious eyes, while others prefer light ones. Either way embrace what you got and let her be mesmerized by your peepers.

2. Smile:

That’s right boys, floss and brush those pearly whites of yours because the ladies are paying attention. And don’t be modest about hiding your smile, a lot of guys like to play the hard ass role and play coy when it comes to expressing their happiness, but girls are attracted to happy guys so smile away!

1. Personality:

Above all other things, he’s gotta have a personality. You can be the spitting image of a Calvin Klein model, but for you to really stick out to a girl you have to be able to hold a conversation… or at least be able to make her laugh. So even if you have every other quality in this list working for you, this one is a must. So crack some jokes, make her laugh and most of all make her feel comfortable, it will definitely pay off in your favor.

Think twice if they know the person you’re talking about:

If you’re about to divulge some information about your sexual partner that is quite revealing or private, you might want to bite your tongue if you share mutual friends. They may forever be scarred from the stories you tell and never be able to look at the person the same way again. Think about it, do you really want to know how big your friends “Johnson” is? Or the things they say in the sack? Think about these things before sharing any of the gory details.

Tell the funny stuff:

Everyone loves to laugh, so telling the story about the two of you doing it and falling off the bed isn’t going to turn anyone’s stomachs. Stories about getting caught mid-booty session and stories in which you were embarrassed are normally crowd pleasers. You just have to watch and make sure you’re not telling funny sex stories at your partners cost, especially if you’re still dating them.  If your story is more geared at laughing at someone then think twice…what goes around comes around.

Be respectful:

This picks up from the last tip–you don’t want to tell about your sex life when it’s putting his/her ego in jeopardy. Telling stories about when they couldn’t perform up to par, or they did something embarrassing mid-booty session, is just rude. Things happen beyond our control– even in the sack. We have to respect that it’s happened to all of us and we wouldn’t want them revealing the details of our own embarrassing acts to all of their friends.  You might laugh inside about what happened but that doesn’t mean that everyone else should be laughing too.

The Ex files:

…should be left alone. Talking about your bedroom antics with your ex is acceptable up to a certain level. Sharing stories that meet all of the requirements above are okay to share, but you need to be careful of the things you say. If the two of you had a bitter breakup it might be tempting to slide a little sarcasm or teasing into your sex stories. You need to be careful not to make fun of them because what goes around comes around, and people talk. If word gets around to him that you’ve been talking smack about his performance in the bedroom, you’re just going to come off as immature and seem as though you’re not over him.
