101 Ways To Get & Keep His Attention - 11. LEGS


How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands (Song of Songs 7:1).

11. LEGS

Long legs, short legs, skinny ones, thick ones- it's every man for himself in this category. To shave or not to shave- even this cannot be pinned down, although I dare say the general populace leans toward the Nair-smooth model as politically correct and desirable. To this I say: Find the right dress or skirt length to complement what you've got and then strut your stuff with graceful confidence.

101 Ways To Get & Keep His Attention - 10. NECK


Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels (Song of Songs 1:10).

10. NECK

It's no small wonder that a woman can take any part of her body and make it speak. We all laugh at the sister- girl neck roll. And yet it says, "How dare you! Don't you ever do that again! Stop right there, mister. Don't even think about getting any closer!" A neck can reflect defiance or submission, pride or humility. A neck can say, "Get back!"  or "I'm open to listen." Mmmmh, a neck can say, all of that and have the capacity to portray a vulnerability a man finds so appealing. It can be a tender place. It's tenderness is particularly attractive to men.

Even God talks about stiff-necked women being turn off. We adorn our necks, we perfume them, but do we understand the power of them? The grace and elegance they can portray? The soft, alluring beauty they possess? The stubbornness they can reveal, even when we try to put our best face forward? Perhaps we would walk more carefully if we really understood their mystique.
Your neck is like the tower of David, built with elegance (Song of Songs 4:4)

101 Ways To Get & Keep His Attention - 9. ARMS


9. ARMS
Yes, arms are important. It's funny what men notice. Strong arms speak of strength and fitness. They don't need to be buff; toned will suffice. It's amazing how quickly sometimes minor things become major. In the mind of a husband or a man considering a woman potential mate, hands are made for touching and loving them. Arms are for embracing and being capable of handling the tasks at hand.

If you're married, go ahead and reach out to your man. This is part of a man's love language and has tremendous impact. 
Singles, be careful! Don't start fires you can't put out. The book of Ecclesiastes says there is a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. God places a high price on a man being intimate with you- one of a lifetime commitment. Maintain His standard and conduct yourself accordingly.

101 Ways To Get & Keep His Attention - 8. HANDS



7. HANDS
This is purely subjective but survey says- men are afraid of nails that look like weapons. Strong, sensitive hands are appealing in their look. Clean, neat, cultures nails will do. They don't even care about polish (well, they do if it's looking as though it's time for manicure). This speaks of the time and attention you pay to yourself in their eyes.

Take the time to cultivate even the little things. The little things become major in their eyes. When you extend our hand, make sure it is a hand they want to hold. Have hands they long to have touch them tenderly, in a reassuring pat only a wife can offer her man... Hands that are the finishing touch of graceful, welcoming arms.


101 Ways To Get & Keep His Attention - 7. HAIR



Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Gilead (Song of Songs 6:5)

7. HAIR

Okay, ladies, let's get real about the hair. This one is a biggie. Men love hair that moves and has a quiet luster that catches the light- fluid, rich and full. Now we all have different textures, lengths, and colors of hair. What is important here is healthy hair that is not forced in its presentation. Au naturel is the vote from the menfolk. They want to enjoy what they see and anticipate permission to touch it at the right time. 

Are men opposed to our fascination with weaves and extensions? Only if they look too done, so pay attention to the fine details if this is the route you want to take. Truly our hair is our glory, but wear it well, my sister.

Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel. Your hair is like a royal tapestry; the king is held captive b it its tresses (Song of Songs 7:5)

101 Ways To Get & Keep His Attention - 6. BEAUTIFUL SKIN



Who is this that appears like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, majestic as the stars in procession? (Song of Songs 6:10)

6. BEAUTIFUL SKIN

Isn't it interesting that the Shulammite woman is the Song of Songs saw herself one way and her lover saw her in an entirely different light? He saw her as fair while she considered the color of her skin undesirable. Fair in this context actually means beautiful. What he saw was not the color but the condition of her skin. It was lustrous and sanity smooth. It had been kissed by the sun and was radiant with a healthy grow. Her skin was rich with vitality- it was alive. It was skin he wanted to touch, though he reserved that impulse for more appropriate time.

It doesn't matter what shade of flavor you are. Care for your skin tenderly and allow its finer properties to shine through. You never know who is looking at you.

101 Ways To Get & Keep His Attention - 5. COMPLEXION


Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's son were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected (Song of Songs 1:6)

5. COMPLEXION

Fair, dark, ruddy, pale as the moon, dark as the night, cafe au lait... we come in many shades and flavors that are appearing to various men. Do not despise what someone else may celebrate.
