12 Qualities of Super-Attractive Women
What makes a woman attractive? Being attractive goes beyond good looks, even though it could start from there, because there are habits that make you look beautiful. Attractiveness has more to do with what is inside of you, what you think of yourself and others, and your perception of things.

I remember feeling offended by what hubby said one day. So I got moody, gave laconic replies to his words, and frowned all over the place. In my mind, I expected him to know that I was hurting, so I went on like that for hours while he carried on normally. He probably thought I wanted to be calm that day.

I poured out my mind to him, he did the same, and we were able…
