We all have that one friend who seems to capture the attention of every man she walks past. What is her secret? Was she born with this natural ability to make her effortlessly attractive?

Well, although some people are blessed with perfect hair or blemish-free skin, there is much more to attraction than looks. It is all about personality and qualities.

Here are seven traits that men find absolutely irresistable in a woman.

1. True confidence

Nothing makes a woman more attractive than being fully secure and comfortable in her own skin. Confidence and positivity truly draw people to you. If you complete yourself and do not need a man to validate your worth, that is the most attractive quality you could ever possess.

2. A knack for kindness

Having a natural ability to show compassion can make you the most attractive woman in the room. People are so used to cruety and hate in the world from everyday dealings on social media and the news that kindness can be quite refreshing. Don't be afraid to show appreciation for others, because although some may find compassion as a sign of weakness, it's actually a powerful strength.

3. Ambition

A girl who has dreams and the courage and drive to pursue them is worth more than money can buy. If you are constantly trying to better yourself in every circumstance and you don't settle for second best, it also shows a lot about how you treasure everything that is important to you in life, including your relationships.

4. A sense of humility

The woman who is truly beautiful doesn't know she is. Humility is a very rare trait to find these days. A humble woman doesn't constantly fuss about her looks or her body, and she doesn't make mountains out of molehills. She knows her worth, but is aware of everyone else's worth as well. She doesn't sweat the small stuff. She is not self righteous and has empathy toward those around her.

5. An aptitude for affection

Love is rarely a choice, but the ability to show affection definitely is. Showing affection is all about the little things - tender gestures toward the people you love or genuine words of appreciation and love. Affection is the ability to show others just how much you love and care about them, and that is essential to any healthy relationship.

6. Respect

Respecting another's opinion shows a lot about your character. Being quick to anger and to demean others when they disagree with you is a very unattractive quality. Respect also means respecting yourself. Have a sense of integrity. Don't follow the crowd just because it's the thing to do. Do your own thing and be confident about it. A woman becomes more intriguing when every aspect of her life isn't posted on social media for everyone to see.

7. The ability to communicate

Most woman have a tendency to be passive-agressive when something is bothering them. Just for the record, no one can read your mind. Be open and honest about your feelings and your opinion on the matters at hand. Don't be afraid to speak up if something is bothering you. It is better to be honest to someone's face than to speak behind their back and allow the tension to rise. Communication is the key to success in any relationship.
