When you're gearing up for a night out, you probably have a pretty standard checklist: Sexy top? Clearly. Killer pair of heels? Obvs. But there's a big difference between a guy checking you out and a guy who can't resist your spell.

That's why some new research being done on attraction is so intriguing--it offers subtle, novel strategies for not only grabbing attention but also inspiring plenty of introductions and phone-number exchanges. Get ready to work your come-and-meet-me voodoo by tapping in to the way dudes' brains work.

1 Don't Disregard the Basics

Even the best ninja-level seduction tricks will be useless if yon don't practice good fundamentals. You may have heard of, or even used, these maneuvers before, but their success makes them worth repeating. For starters, always keep your group of girls nice and small. "It's ideal to go out with just one or two other friends," says relationship expert Krista Bloom, PhD, author of The Ultimate Compatibility Quiz. "If you're with a larger group, pair off for 30-minute intervals to give guys the opportunity to come up to you."

Choose your wingwomen wisely--you want to be surrounded by friends who are outgoing and don't need to be babysat--and avoid standing so that your shoulders are squared toward each other; physical openness will send the message that you're okay with being approached and not engrossed in an intimate convo. Be sure to plant yourselves in a high-traffic area near the center of the room ... but never near an exit. You may get noticed there, but dudes who constantly eyeball the door are likely to be 'always looking for the next best thing.
