In the words of a leading pickup guru, "Attraction is Not a Choice." The implication of these words is that no amount of pleading, rationalizing or sentimental talk can get a hottie interested in you. But there is good news! You don't need to rationalize, plead, or get mushy with women to turn them on. In fact, you don't have to say much of anything when you have the right game. Rather, you need to have an awareness of some of the triggers--the switches, as it were--that turn women on and off.

Attraction ultimately is an evolutionary mechanism that has us wired to mate with someone with the best possible genetic makeup. Most of this wiring, of course, exists at the subconscious level, but essentially that's how both women and men make their "choice." When a man sees a beautiful woman with large breasts, a skinny waist and a pretty face, he doesn't deliberate and think to himself, "Hmm, I wonder if I should be attracted to her...nah, I choose not to be." Attraction just happens--it's a reaction to certain triggers.

In this article, I'm going to discuss certain behavior modifications that you can make in order to help trigger the equivalent subconscious reaction in women. Fortunately for men, women respond very strongly to personality as compared to men who are unabashedly drawn to looks. It's a lot easier to modify one's personality, and we're going to explore some of these modification below.

Attractive women have options. On a daily basis beautiful women are approached several times by men for sexual reasons--daily! Women thus need a way to quickly disqualify these suitors, and so they make snap judgment reactions to filter out the genetic distractions.

The standard subconscious measure upon which these judgments are made is the Alpha Male archetype. The Alpha Male Archetype is a compilation of all the qualities women find universally appealing in men. These include the following:

• Dominance

Women tend to be more attracted to guys who have dominance both over them and others--dominance over them in the sense that women don't always want to feel like they're in control over the relationship; or rather, a woman is more attracted to a man she isn't entirely in control of because he's upredictable and there is always a chance she might not be able to hold his interest. If women feel that the man they're with has options and is attractive to other women, they will, as a matter of course, be more attracted to him. If a woman senses insecurity and clinginess, he's toast. Women are also more attracted to men who hold leadership positions or are in some way authoritative. The ringleader of the social group, the boss of the office, the young funny professor who is the center of attention, obviously have an advantage over the follower, the guy in the mail room, or the nerd in the back of the auditorium. These are just a few examples of dominance, and even the guy in the mailroom or the nerd under the right circumstances can make a display of dominance.

• Strength

Women are attracted to men who are mentally and emotionally strong. Whining and complaining or running away from challenging situations would be evidence of lack of strength. Backing down in a situation where a woman is being unjustifiably demanding would also be a show weakness. Shyness and lack of confidence when first encountering a women will work against you as well.

• Novelty Seeking/Adventurous

Women are more attracted to men who are a little off-beat and have something else going on in their lives beyond the usual routine. Someone who travels, has interesting hobbies, sky-dives, etc and who is able to communicate the excitement of these adventures, is naturally more attractive. Most men women meet are boring and predictable. The adventurer is a breath of fresh air for them.

• Resoures: Internal and External

It goes without saying that men with resource (i.e. money and possessions) tend to be more attractive to women than those who don't. For one, men with resources are in a better position to provide both for her needs and the needs of any offspring they may have. This is so even if the woman has no interest in having children or being a stay at home wife. Subconsciously women are attracted to providers. Women also tend to be very status conscious as well.

But besides physical resources, women are attracted to men with inner resources. Men who are educated tend to have the edge over their less bright companions. Someone who has depth and can think beyond the rat race of life also tends to be more attractive. However, the non-conformist has to be careful to demonstrate that his non-conformity is a matter of choice rather than a lack of social awareness. He needs to be a non-conformist who is aware of prevailing tastes and norms, but nevertheless dismissively opts out.

• Looks

It would be a lie to say looks are not a factor; however, as mentioned previously looks are far less important to women than they are to men. Height, build and facial features obviously give some guys an edge, but this is only one of many factors. That being said, there's nothing stopping all guys from getting in shape, being well groomed and getting a presentable wardrobe.

At this point, I'm going to discuss some specific behaviors that you can easily assume in order to be more attractive to women. These are some of the switches, so to speak, that turn women on.

• Posture

Men with good posture project the quality of dominance. That means you should hold your head up and back, no slouching, shoulders back, etc. Nothing broadcasts "loser" more effectively than a guy walking with his head down and his body slouched.

Furthermore, the Alpha Male maintains open body language. His legs are open, his arms are not crossed, his hand aren't in his pockets. In general, he tends to take up more space than the average individual. He is ever relaxed and in poise.

Also, don't fidget! Restless leg movements, touching your face, scratching and other involuntary moments should be minimized. Every motion should be calculated and purposeful.

• Slow, Calculated Motion

The Alpha Male is never in a rush, because he doesn't need to please anyone. The world is on his schedule, not the other way around. Someone who is rushing has someone to answer to. That's not Alpha behavior.

Furthermore, the Alpha Male is slow to give others his attention. He gives his attention but reluctantly if at all, because he has no need to please others. He assumes everyone wants to please him.

Always walk slowly and confidently. Never make rushed jerky movements. Never snap your head toward someone when then ask for your attention. Be "cool."

• Eye Contact

The Alpha Male is not to afraid make strong eye contact with people including people he doesn't know. This further demonstrates his strength and dominance. At the same time, he doesn't stare people down and act creepy. As a rule, one should make eye contact 80% of the time while speaking, and 20% of the time while listening.

Ever wonder why parents tell their children, "Look at me when I speaking to you!" That's their way of establishing dominance over their child. When the child looks away it is often done for the purpose of undermining his parents authority. Eye contact has powerful significance when interacting with women.

The same rule applies with women. When you are speaking to her, make eye contact. When she is speaking to you, relax eye contact. And if you're looking at a attractive woman across the room and she catches you looking at her, don't look down as if you were "caught." Keep looking at her and give her a defiant little smile as well.

• Tone of Voice

It is very common to hear women say they are attracted to a man's voice. A high-pitched, squeaky voice will work against you. If your voice tends to be high pitched, bring it down a notch. Your voice should resonate from your chest, not your neck. Vocalist distinguish between "chest voice" and "throat voice." Learn what that distinction means and the difference it can make for your voice.

If your voice is particularly bad, I suggest you take voice lessons. The way you speak not only affects your romantic prospects, but also your career.

The above-mentioned items do not constitute an exhaustive list. They're just the tip of the iceberg for you to get started.

Personality is key when it comes to attracting women. Even a very attractive guy will have trouble holding the interest of a woman if his personality is boring or repellant.

• Confidence

A guy who is sure of himself and confident in his ability to be successful in the world and with women is more Alpha. Optimism is another Alpha quality as well as persistence. The Alpha Male doesn't easily give up because he is confident that in the end he will prevail.

• "Cocky-Comedy"

The above phrase was coined by master pickup artist David DeAngelo whose works, incidentally, I highly suggest. Cocky-Comedy is basically a mix of arrogance and humor. It's a "you know you want me" type attitude with a sly smile. Cocky-comedy involves teasing women, light sarcasm, sexual innuendo and generally turning the tables on a woman in a funny way. This is the single most effective way to build attraction with women. For more on this topic, I suggest you refer to David DeAngelo's works

• "Social Proof"

The Alpha Male has a life, has friends, is always busy, is always surrounded by women--or at least appears to be. Expand your social circle, go out with attractive females friends, make sure to fill your facebook with pictures of you doing fun stuff with a lot people and most importantly surrounded by desirable women. Avoid those creepy internet pictures that guys so often take of themselves and post on the internet all alone in their parents basement.

And so there you have, these are some of the triggers that create the automatic attraction discussed above in the introduction.
