Women With High Social Intelligence Usually Do 6 Things In Casual Conversation
CarlosBarquero | Shutterstock Ever wonder what makes some women seem impossible to resist? It's all about social intelligence. Women who can navigate a room full of people with ease while making everyone they talk to feel understood have a real gift.
Don’t believe it? There are some effortless things that women with high social intelligence do differently, and they're often the simplest little things that make everyone they encounter feel utterly charmed.
Things women with high social intelligence do when casually chatting that make them irresistible:
1. Give genuine compliments

This goes well beyond just complimenting someone's looks. When a man gets a compliment that is sincere and out of the ordinary, it makes him stop in his tracks.
Tell him how much you love his musical talent or the way his hugs make you feel safe. Guys so rarely get complimented that it will stand out and keep them glowing for days afterward.
2. Say, 'I appreciate you'
The truth is that it’s easy for men these days to feel unappreciated. Hearing these three words is the quickest, simplest way to make a man feel like a man.
3. Look deeply into a person's eyes

Research from 2009 showed that eye contact is one of the few scientifically proven ways to increase bonding between two people. By mastering eye contact, a skill that's quickly becoming rare, you can increase your social intelligence without really saying a word.
4. Have a signature scent or look
When people notice you always smell a certain way or wear a certain lip gloss, the Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology noted that they’ll start associating the smell with you, and it will become an aphrodisiac. Signature scents and looks are so rare that guys naturally just pick up on them.
5. Make the first move

If a guy feels shy or a bit intimidated around you, there’s one way to make sure you’ll keep a special place in his heart. The APA Handbook of Personality and Social Psychology suggests making the first move.
Most guys, particularly shy guys, really get into it. And since he probably has never had it happen before, it’ll be a huge ego boost too.
6. Be a little standoffish to gain the respect you deserve
Is he the kind of guy who can have any woman he wants? Throw him for a loop by being standoffish. Studies in The Personality and Social Psychology Journal found that setting boundaries with guys who have a lot of luck with women makes them get a little loopy and makes them respect you more. It’s a good thing.
The bottom line is most men don’t feel appreciated by the women in their lives. If you offer appreciation and positivity, they’ll remember you for years to come. It’s just that simple.
