Four Little Things I Notice About Women
They say the "devil is in the details," but the other night, my friend and I were scanning the bar and noticing minor things about women.
They say the "devil is in the details," but the other night, my friend and I were scanning the bar and noticing minor things about women. After reflecting on our observations, I put together four small things that guys notice that they don't often point out to women. Here they are:
Hands
I study a girl's hands pretty intensely. Beautiful hands can portray daintiness and strength at the same time. I notice manicures, and complexion. I imagine what it's like to hold them. I'm not much of a hand-holder, but pretty hands will turn me into one. I even watch how a girl grips things. There are definitely different objects and shapes that look amazing in a girl's hands, such as a wineglass. A wineglass has delicate curves that play off a woman's hands. When I notice fingers that are appealing to me, I imagine how those fingertips would feel.
Hair
I've mentioned hair before, so I wouldn't say it's a "little thing." But hair can do simple things that can evoke powerful emotions. One day I ran into my friend on the way to work — the friend who wore high heels to the soccer game. One thing's for sure: This girl really knows how to take care of and do her hair. We were just talking and walking when a gust of wind blew right down the street and ran through her hair. The indescribable motion that took place in her hair was beautiful. I even noticed that a random guy we passed turned his head and looked. I didn't realize until the day was over, but seeing that gust of wind go through my friend's hair put me in a good mood the rest of the day. So, while hair is a big deal, little random moments can create big, great things.
Attitude Toward Others
When I go out to dinner with a girl, I keep a close eye on how she treats a waiter or hostess. Does she say "thanks," and generally act polite and respectful? Sometimes I feel as if I'm overly cordial to people: I wish them a nice day and always make sure to say "thanks." But what makes a woman stand out has to do with more than just how she treats me. A person with a beautiful personality treats everyone nicely and respectfully. It's fun to be out with a girl and watch her make people smile from afar. It makes me feel proud and lucky that I'm with her. It's already an amazing thing when I meet a girl who can brighten my days. But if this girl brightens everyone's day, then I'm even luckier.

What Does She Notice?
It's fun meeting different people because they always bring a new perspective. When I break down music I love for people, they ask how I even care about every last little sound and note that I analyze and point these details out to them. What little things does a woman notice or point out? If we go to a Broadway show, for example, does she notice something in the background set? Does she notice the couple in front of us who is very much in love? Does she notice that the usher hates us because we are whispering and showed up just as the lights were going down? Sure, we share big thoughts and ideas with one another, but sometimes you can learn a lot about a person just by the details they notice in life and moments. It is a fun adventure going out with someone who can laugh at and notice little things, and who always brings new insights to different situations.
Once I realized that I was noticing little things, I came to the conclusion that little simple moments are just part of overall beauty. Beauty can be defined in a collection of moments or memories more often than it can be defined by someone's appearance.
Seeing a girl across the room, holding a wineglass with pretty hands and making people smile, or a moment in the morning when the wind runs through a girl's hair, or a girl I'm with noticing someone walking by in a Members Only jacket — these are simple moments that should never be taken for granted.
What is a little thing (appearance, moment, or personality) that you notice in a guy that is a simple, beautiful thing?
