If a person knows how to take of themselves, it means they can take care of others, and they are aware of their worth. Both traits are highly attractive in a partner. Taking care of yourself includes exercising, having a balanced diet, and paying attention to your looks and overall health.

Being emotionally available but independent

By showing good manners, a person sends a message of respect to those around them. It also signals that one is considerate of other people's feelings. Saying "please," and "thank you" costs nothing but speaks volumes about someone's character.
