Do you think Brad Pitt was just born with the ability to make women go weak at the knees?

Maybe he was, but not everyone is born with the knack of knowing how to make a woman smile, some have to learn it.

According to Eric Ivy, the international romance consultant behind The Dating Matrix, being a hit with the ladies is something which can be taught.

He states the qualities which make us attractive to the fairer sex are all things which we can work on and improve, and thus, help our chances of being successful in getting a date or more.

"Any man can be taught to succeed with women by adopting and demonstrating universally attractive qualities, such as being perceived as fun, creative, intelligent, emotionally non-needy, adventurous, humorous, positive and self-assured," he claims.

Meanwhile, a recent survey by Invisalign found one in five women believe a bloke with a nice smile is more likely to be a hit with the ladies and stands a better chance of finding a relationship than someone whose mush is not up to standard.
