You need to realize that men are kind of like cats. Just hear me out.

Ever  see the variety of cat toys out there? They're shiny, sparkly,  colorful, some of them make noise (and all kinds of noises), shaped in  all kinds of ways, with various textures, sizes, and some are even meant  to stimulate different parts of a cat's brain.

When you dangle a  sparkly, plush fish with bells attached to its fringe, and make sure it  remains slightly out of reach, a cat will literally go crazy for it.  They jump around, chase, sprint, go full warp-speed and do pretty much  anything it can to to catch this "just out of reach" little plush fish.

Bizarrely,  guys are exactly the same when it comes to dating women. If you're fun,  exciting, playful, flirty, and constantly just out of reach, then he's  more likely to desire you and chase after you.

But don't worry — this is a phase that men grow out of once you're in a committed relationship, assuming he's actually boyfriend material.

Going  to the gym in and of itself doesn't make you fit. Eating right isn't  the only important factor for staying healthy either. You need to take a  holistic approach to ensure your overall well-being, including your  physical, mental, emotional, and social health.

High-value men  aren't looking exclusively for a skinny woman, gym bunny or nutritionist  who's obsessed with juice cleanses. However, studies show that both men  and women are naturally attracted to someone who appears to be healthy. So overall health should be a priority for you — regardless of whether you're looking for love.
