In baseball, there is something called a 5-tool player. Bryce Harper and Mike Trout come to mind when talking about all around dominate athletes. Scouts all over the country make their money trying to find these players. The five skills, or “tools” that 5-tool players have, include hitting for average, hitting with power, speed, great throwing arm, and fielding. These five tools will make you a great player and a rare specimen for professional scouts. Every team wants that 5-tool player on their team; however, they do not come around that often.

When it comes to good men, just like good baseball players, there are plenty of them. However, those really good men that every girl grows up dreaming she will end up marrying are few and far in between. What does it take to be a “5-tool man”? I’m going to give you five characteristics that will give any man an advantage when it comes to be that rare man that women dream of.

1. Nice body and style

Let’s be honest, the first thing that gets a women’s attention is how a man looks. Not all the time, but most of the time. Some men are better at dressing themselves than others, and those men have a he edge on the guy wearing sweats and a dirty t-shirt. When a man is well-dressed, he gives the impression that he takes care of his body, and that he is confident and professional. The guy with the mustard stain on his shirt says that his mom forgot to do his laundry again. It does not take much to dress respectably. People tell me all the time that I look nice, but to me, it’s as simple as throwing in a collared shirt and khakis. I’m not saying you need to be in a three-piece suit every time you step out your door, but a nice shirt and pants are a necessity. Sometimes it is nice to switch things up and wear a tie one day. Women love men who know how to dress.

Having good style and having a nice body go hand and hand. If you don’t have a nice body, then you won't look that good in your clothes. Every man should be in the gym on a regular basis. Unless you have a medical reason why you can’t exercise, then there is no excuse. A man who's fit gives off good vibes to women. They know that you take care of yourself and are healthy. It also shows you are dedicated because it takes a lot to go to the gym and right consistently. Plus, if you look good in a suit, she is going to be wondering what you look like underneath it, and you don’t want to disappoint her.

2. Good job

You don’t have to be the CEO of your company, but you need to be able to say you have a decent job. Women don’t want a guy who is still sleeping on his mother’s couch. You need to be able to show women that you are responsible and driven, rather than lazy. Having a good job means you can take care of yourself, which means you can then take care of a woman. If you can’t provide for yourself, then there is no way a woman is going to be with you.

3. Romantic

You don’t have to be Ryan Gosling in "The Notebook" to be good at romance. Romance is not hard. It is all about making your woman feel special and loved. A simple way to make any woman feel like a queen for a day is to send her flowers. She will absolutely melt if you send her her favorite flowers, and if you don’t know her favorite flower, roses are undefeated in melting hearts. Pay attention to her and take note of the things she likes -- literally take notes because I promise they will come in handy. Money doesn’t always have to be spent to be romantic. A simple love letter or text message can be enough. You do not have to go all out and pull out all the stops at every turn. The small, thoughtful things matter more than anything you will buy her. One tip about the flowers: make sure you send them some place where a lot of people will see them like her job. Why? Because if no one else sees them and her friends aren’t jealous, then it’s all for nothing.

4. Good listener

This is very simple -- all you have to do is listen to women. About 99.8 percent of the time when they come to you with a problem or want to talk about that crazy girl at work, women just want you to listen. Now, I don’t mean look at her and as soon as she starts talking, and start thinking about what you’re going to eat during the game later. Don’t just nod and say, “Yep,” every time she asks you something. That’s not listening. Actually pay attention and hear what she is saying, and take her side even when you know she’s wrong. Do anything to show her that you are really hearing what she is saying. By listening, you are showing that you care about what goes on in her life. You don’t have to do anything special and come with a solution to all her problems. Simply listening means more to her than you know.

5. Genuine

Too many times men want to be someone they are not and they end up getting in trouble. A woman might like who you are pretending to be for a little bit, but you will not be able to keep that up forever. Once they find out that you have been living a lie, that will be all she wrote. The funny thing is that if you had just been yourself she would still like you. Be the man you really are, and if she likes you, then good. If not, then she’s not for you. Don’t try to be Superman for the wrong Lois Lane. (If you didn’t get that, I’m sorry. Google Superman and Lois Lane.)

These five characteristics are not groundbreaking discoveries. They are simple things that every man can do. If men start to do these five things, then women will have more options to choose from than ever before. These aren’t the only things that women want, of course, but I think they are five important characteristics. If you have all five of these things, good for you. However, if you don’t, then switch up that wardrobe, get a new job, hit the gym more, work on that romance, learn to listen, and just be yourself. Do that and you will be the Bryce Harper and Mike Trout of men -- with a new woman.
