Both titles are correct.
1. The title suggests that the story that follows gives seven secrets which are known to insiders only and can be used to attract hot girls. To attract is an infinitive and denotes purpose.
The infinitive is often used to refer to future action in headlines as well. I remember this one from the early seventies: Nixon to visit China.T
