Have you ever talked to a woman about what she looks for in a man? The chances are that you have been too scared to ask. After all, what would you do if she described her ideal man and it turned out you looked nothing like him?

While we can’t all look as good as Denzel Washington and other heartthrob black men, we can take a look at who the ladies consider to be the finest black man in order to take some pointers.

What to Learn from Denzel Washington

Sure, Denzel Washington has naturally good looks. Still, one of the things that makes him to be considered the finest black man by so many women is his quiet confidence. Denzel doesn’t walk around talking about how good looking he is. He doesn’t come off as cocky. He doesn’t try to be a bad boy. Rather, he is suave and sophisticated. So, if you want to learn how to be like Denzel Washington, one of the things you need to do, is to keep yourself looking well put together and to create an air of quiet confidence.

What to Learn from Billy D. Williams

Billy D. Williams also has an air of sophistication. Not only that, he isn’t afraid to be a sci-fi nerd, as he demonstrated in his Star Wars role. So, what you can learn from Billy D. Williams is to be sophisticated whenever possible, but don’t be afraid to let your geeky side show on occasion.

What to Learn from Laurence Fishburne

Laurence Fishburne has the ability to look like a sophisticated gentleman one minute, and then to look like a tough and jaded gangster the next. Just like you may be looking for a woman that is a good girl at your parent’s house but is a tiger in the bedroom, many women are looking for a man that has the ability to be a bad boy one minute and a gentleman the next. So, from Laurence, you can learn that changing it up is important to a woman. With your different personas, which you are able to use in different situations, you can keep things interesting for her and you won’t embarrass her when she shows you off to her friends.

What to Learn from Morris Chestnut

Morris Chestnut has mastered the ability to come off as a “regular guy.” He is good looking, yet he comes off as if he is just some regular guy that you would meet on the streets. At the same time, he has played several heroic roles where he has helped save the damsel in distress. With that said, you can learn from Morris Chestnut that you shouldn’t always come off as if you are some big, bad superhero. At the same time, when the moment calls for it, be there to rescue your lady when she needs you.

What to Learn from Tyson Beckford

Sure, Tyson Beckford has muscles that just seem to go on forever. That is certainly part of the reason why so many of the ladies love him. Still, part of his appeal is the fact that he doesn’t come off like some big-muscled idiot with biceps bigger than his brain. Not only that, he doesn’t treat women as if they should be lucky to breathe the same air as him. It doesn’t matter how physically appealing you are – if you come off like a jerk, the ladies might be attracted to you at first, but the interest will quickly fade. While you may be willing to put up with a queen that acts like you aren’t worthy of being with her, most women are not quite so accommodating.
