Bunnie Xo on What Women Actually Want | Playboy Advisor | PLAYBOY

Bunnie Xo is issuing a reality check for men who rely on their reflection to close the deal. In her Spring 2026 Playboy Advisor column, she reveals that the key to a woman’s heart has nothing to do with a gym routine. “Make a woman laugh. Looks are not everything,” she writes. For Bunnie, the secret to longevity is finding a connection that outlasts youth: “If a woman is only dating you for your looks, you need to find another woman, because looks fade… not everybody’s going to be hot when they’re old.”
