In this post, I will share why pet names overpower us men and put our hearts in your hands.
The women who don’t fear us.
The ones who understand what makes us tick REGULARLY call us men by pet names.
Why do you want to start using them?
Imagine you could press emotional buttons that would flick on our emotional switches and make us gush and like you back.
Honestly, if you only knew the power that you possess over us men then you’d never worry again about ending up alone.
Make us feel good-looking, adored, manly or sexy … and we can’t resist.
Two guaranteed ways to emotionally own us?
Body language and touch (hey! I don’t mean that kind of touching) are two of the most powerful and fastest ways to flick on our emotional switches.
If you only had the courage and confidence to pull it off.
*Sigh*

Another way, if done with confidence, is to tell us cute pet names (also referred to as terms of endearment).
Simply showing us that you find us attractive (even if you don’t come right out and say it) creates a special connection between you and the guy you tell.
Why Pet Names Turn Us On
We do not get complimented enough as guys on our physical attributes.
Compliments on good looks gets reserved for women to receive them.
However, we cannot resist the feeling of being adored especially if done softly and with grace.
A Little Secret…

… if said with confidence, without a stutter and especially with eye contact.
OMG that’s super hot!
Don’t belive us guys go for women with supreme confidence (regardless of their looks)?
Ever seen an overweight woman (what some perceive as less attractive- not me though) who always seems to have guys chasing her?
Yes? No?

The target guys to use these pet names on are for the earlier stages of a relationship: just met and started talking, know him but want him to like you, gone on a few dates or even dated for a few weeks.
Although, if you’re in a relationship, you can still make your man feel special.
I’ll include a list of pet names that he’d expect from one of the guys and will completely TURN US OFF
10 Pet Names for Guys that Get Our Attention
…(and Make Us Like You Back)
Listen, some of these are obvious.
You just need to get the confidence to use them.
These are guaranteed turn-ons.
The first list is the clear winners!
1. Hunk
If he’s a big, muscular guy than this pet name will turn him into a soft teddy bear. What guy doesn’t want a girl to think he’s strong?
2. Cutie
Definitely will get his heart pounding. In our minds a girl who calls us a pet name that compliments our looks only does so if she actually finds us attractive.
3. Gorgeous
A step up from all other pet names which compliments our looks. And especially hot because only a girl with extreme confidence would dare attempt it.
4. Handsome
ALL guys want a girl to call them handsome! Handsome is the classiest version of the pet names that compliment our looks.
Watch him melt right before your eyes. Make sure to make hold eye contact when you call him this.
5. Foxy
SUPER HOT! Cute, creative, unique (who actually has the confidence to pull this off) and clear. You are telling him that you find him attractive.
If a girl called me this, I think I’d fall over- no matter what she looked like.
6. Heart Breaker
Unique, rarely used and basically telling him that he makes your heart race. Which again makes you super-hot in his eyes.
7. Good Looking
A cuter more tame version of the other pet names that complement his looks. Still, an instant turn on and only used by confident women who know that power they possess over us men.
8. Baby
I get called this one a lot at work. It gets me every time.
I’ll drop whatever I’m doing to help a female who asks for assistance when she uses this name on me.
Could get grouped with the pet names only used by a woman acting nice, but still only said by women with confidence. Baby does not illicitly compliment our looks.
At the same time, we know that no girl would say this to a guy she does not find attractive.
9. Sexy
Another TOP NOTCH pet name that will get his head to spin. Again, when you can express the obvious pleasure you find in looking at him, his heart will skip a beat.
(Probably don’t want to use this one at work—well, unless he’s shown obvious signs of liking you back).
Acting a little naughty under circumstances with strict rules and restrictions is the ultimate turn on. (Like at work).
10.Adorable
There’s just something that makes our makes the butterflies flap their wings harder in our stomachs when your pet names mix cute and attractive in the same package.
We sense that you want to squeeze us like a puppy and plant a million kisses on our face.
Bonus
Take your pet names up a notch try ‘em in Spanish. Especially if you have Latina roots.
I speak Spanish, currently date a Latina and have dated, been married toone and have flirted with Latinas at work.
These are the ones they’ve used on me.
If you’re Gringa (not Latina) and use these on a Hispanic guy he’ll probably fall down from the excitement.
Just make sure you pronounce them right.
Google or Youtube it if you don’t know.
The literal translations take away from how they sound in English because they possess different connotations in Spanish.
But trust me.
These are good and commonly used.
Spanish Pet Names
• Cielito Lindo = basically super heavenly cute
• Cielo = heavenly cute
• Guapo = handsome
• Lindo = good looking
• Papi Chulo = one of the distinct Caribbean Spanish pet names, sort of like “hot hunk”
• Cariño = sweetheart
Pet Names Us Guys Like

Again, notice the pattern they compliment our looks, manhood or express your adoration of us.
