The four most frequently listed characteristics accounting for men's liking for women were beauty, intelligence, cheerfulness, and congeniality of interests. Sexual attraction was given fifth place. It would seem that the women are somewhat more limited than the men in posibilities for molding their personalities in the interest  of increased popularity with men.  Intelligence and beauty, after all, are largely inherited rather than acquired through training as are many personality traits. Much can he accomplished, however, through the development of social skills and through diet, dress, and the skilful use of cosmetics. A woman who is not physically attractive or brilliant mentally can compensate in large degree by developing a cheerful manner and acquiring interests which are congenial with those of men.

What kind of man do women like?

The three traits most often given by women in explaining their liking for men were intelligence, considereation and kindliness. Cheerfulness and mannerliness tied for fourth place.

If you wish to eliminate your unpopular personality qualities, you must first know what they are. One way of finding out your strengths and weaknesses is to have some of your friends list on an unsigned sheet of paper the traits which they admire most and least in you. If you put this suggestion into practice, be sure to ask only those persons whose opinions you respect. There is no point in trying to please everybody. To do so is as impossible as it is undersirable. (From Psychology and Life)
