An influencer has spoken out about how one trait makes men more attractive to women during a conversation about modern day dating.
When entering the dating world, the goal is ultimately make yourself look attractive to those you are interested in, of course, that's not just your physical attractiveness, too.
So, the best course of action is perhaps to listen to those who are open on what type of person they are looking - what are their idea of a green flag trait?

Presenter, reality star and influencer Michelle Bingley, sat down with Brian Goldstein for the Truth Hurts Show, where she provided insights into the traits she believes that make men more attractive to women.
According to Bingley, who believes the 'traditional way of dating' no longer exists, there's one specific trait she looks for in a man.
"The traditional way of dating has completely gone, people don't even really date anymore," she said. "They kind of just meet up, there's no courtship or impressing people, that's completely gone out of the window which is quite sad."
Bingley explained that for her, she thinks it's 'very attractive' when men take the lead.

"As a woman, especially when you want to stay as a feminine woman, you don't really want to take the direction of the relationship," she continued.
"I think it's very attractive when a man can just guide and you can naturally follow [that's] how I like it to be."
Bingley also revealed what she doesn't like, explaining that she prefers meeting men 'organically'.
"I don't like DMs, I like organic meetings but obviously, we're in a generation now where you can DM Beyoncé, you can literally contact anyone you want through social media, which is a scary thing because then you think, what if I don't run into them?
"You don't leave it to fate, you don't leave it to chance, you just go and use social media which I don't like."
Speaking of traditional dating, we recently told you how a couples' therapist Lori Gottlieb was criticised for her response to the age old question: Who should pay on a first date?

Appearing on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast, Gottlieb explained that over the years, she has noticed a dramatic shift in a lot of her male patients, saying that a lot of them aren't sure about 'how to be a man in today's world'.
"It used to be much more clear," she said. "I'm not saying that was a good thing, because there were all kinds of power dynamics that weren't so healthy for men and women.
"But I think now what men are saying is, 'Maybe I don't want to be the person solely responsible...I would like my partner to also bring in some income'."

Gottlieb said that a lot of people think that paying on a date isn't merely just settling a bill, it has to 'mean something'.

"I think a lot of people would say, 'Oh well, it means that you expect something back from me - you expect we're going to have sex or whatever'," she added.
"It's not so important that we know what it means, it's more important that we know what it means to the person that we are interested in.
"It's going to mean something different to everybody, so if we can't talk to this person that we're interested in about what it means, then both people are going to be mired in confusion."
Gottlieb explained that if a man asked to split the bill, it would be a big 'ick' for her.
