Butterkist’s Guide to Becoming Irresistible!

With the nation singing along to the theme tune of our new TV advert ‘I can’t resist Butterkist’, we wanted to find out what else people can’t resist – but this time, in other people!

We surveyed over 4,000 people up and down the country and have used the results to create the ultimate guide to becoming irresistible, to provide those who are unlucky in love with some top tips.

Girls

Want to tick all his boxes? Here are the top 10 things guys can’t resist about you…

  1. A sense of humour is important to a guy so try not to take everything too seriously, and laughing at some of his terrible jokes will do no harm!
  2. Equally, the ability to laugh at yourself is a sign you will be fun to be around so strike up some friendly banter and show you can roll with the punches
  3. Your great smile could be the first thing a guy sees, so make sure you clean your teeth after every meal and flash your pearly whites at every opportunity
  4. A cute giggle will always go straight to a man’s heart
  5. The smell of a nice perfume won’t go unnoticed by a guy so make sure you invest in some
  6. Guys also want to see that a girl is reliable so be careful not to come across as flakey and disorganised, and show him that you’re in control of your life
  7. The ‘girl next door’ look is a favourite with boys so don’t try too hard, and go easy on the wall paint as your natural beauty is far more irresistible!
  8. Girls who are optimistic have no problem attracting men, so show you are a ray of sunshine on even the most miserable of days and he’ll look forward to you being around
  9. They say the way to a man’s heart is through his belly so it’s perhaps not surprising that he’ll be impressed if you have the same taste in food as him
  10. Whether it’s Dizzee Rascal or Kings of Leon, appreciating the music he is in to is a must!

Guys

Here are the top 10 things girls can’t resist about boys so follow these tips to be totally irresistible (you can thank us later, guys)

  1. A guy’s smile is important to a girl so make sure you regularly attend the dentist to keep your teeth in tip top condition, and flash a winning smile when you see an attractive lady (take some tips from George Clooney)
  2. Girls can’t resist a man who is funny so study the likes of Jonathan Ross and Russell Howard for tips on how to get a girl roaring with laughter
  3. A girl loves to feel that a boy is being thoughtful, so surprise the girl of your dreams by remembering birthdays and anniversaries. Keep a diary if you’re memory isn’t reliable
  4. Being generous is always impressive to women but they don’t like to feel you are showing off, so small generous gestures such as buying her favourite type of coffee from the local coffee shop are the way forward
  5. As you might expect, the fairer sex are impressed by intelligence but this doesn’t mean you should sound like you swallowed an encyclopaedia – emotional intelligence is just as important, so embrace talking about how you feel
  6. A good hug makes girls go weak at the knees, so offer a cuddle when the opportunity arises, and prepare yourself with some weight training to get those muscles in shape
  7. Girls like guys to be able to laugh at themselves so don’t take yourself too seriously and be prepared to let her poke fun at you
  8. Boys with a cheeky, naughty side are irresistible to the ladies so gather the confidence to flirt with a vengeance
  9. Girls like a guy with a similar sense of style so make sure you dress to impress
  10. Last but definitely not least is a good figure, so make sure you look after yourself.
