Here's a weird one: an imperfection.

Think about it. If a woman is flawless, they are less interesting. I'm always more interested in a woman who's ALMOST perfect than all the way. Personal example: a dancer my wife worked with, stage name Whisper, was a very pretty little black girl. Perfect features, hair, muscle tone, everything, but she couldn't get any attention from the guys at the club. She asked me (because my job, in addition to hot-stripper-girlfriend transport & bodyguard, was also "the cool guy all the dancers can hang out with and he won't hit on you") what she was doing wrong, and I told her Nothing. Then I elaborated:

If EVERYTHING is right, a person is unapproachable. So I suggested "creating" a flaw. Hair a bit off, or walk a little less gracefully, or snort when you laugh. She tried a more "my day off" type of walk, and she got attention.

Famous person example: Jennifer Grey. She was cute and adorable in Dirty Dancing and Ferris Beuler's Day Off, but she thought her nose was too big. About six years ago, she got a nose job, fixing her only real flaw: you can't recognize her. It's like she just blends in now. She had a sitcom, joking about how nobody recognizes her anymore: no one watched it, and those who did didn't know who she was.

So, favorite part? The imperfection. Beat THAT, Kronkite!
