What do Men look for in Women?

It’s a question that has baffled women for ages…myself included. One moment girls have cooties and you are running away from them, then the next, you’re chasing the girl of your dreams.

Most women believe men only look for looks…but ask any guy and you may very well be surprised to learn that perfect bodies and skinny models are far from being the “perfect woman.”

So now you’re thinking… so if that’s not on the top of the list, what is? Guys are attracted to many different traits and of course not attracted to others. Fortunately, I’m here to highlight some of the top qualities that I believe men look for in women.

Personality 

• Surprisingly, a woman’s personality always makes the top of the charts. It is what is most beautiful.  It’s also what distinguishes one female from another. That’s why I believe there’s someone for everyone.

Physical Features

• Alright, alright, I know I said looks aren’t important, but I will admit, guys have a weakness for a female’s eyes and a female’s smile. Now I repeat, although physical features may entice a man to meet you, remember this key fact: Men would rather get to know a woman and discover that she is beautiful naturally instead of just judging her from the way she looks and finding out that she’s really an ugly person on the inside. And remember, men want someone beautiful but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Happy

• No, this isn’t where I’m going to make you sing “If you’re happy and you know it” But if you are happy and you know it…show it. Why? Well because, men love happy women. Women tend to be the more emotional party of the two in a relationship and being happy is a sign of a good relationship.

Confidence

• This kind of ties into being happy but surprisingly, men dig a woman with confidence and who is comfortable with themselves. That being the case, do remember, that confidence are ego are two different things – although you may not know the difference – men do.

Honesty

• This one is kind of a no-brainer, but honesty and trust are two definite qualities that men seek for in a woman. With our society the way it is, it’s no surprise than want to make sure their woman is going to be faithful.

Intelligence

• We’re not expecting women to be Albert Einstein but we love women that can hold a conversation and be intriguing. A woman that can’t spell her name and uses the word “like” five times in a sentence is definitely not our ideal woman.

Companionship:

• We’re looking for a woman that shares similar interests and that will be our best friend until the day we die. We want someone there to play tennis against us, listen to our stories about our past, and of course, help us study for that upcoming test.

Independence:

• Sure, we love to be wanted and needed and to hold her tight when going through a dark alleyway, but at the same time, we love women that are able to take care of themselves without feeling that she has to compromise herself in a relationship. Too much clingy makes us tear away.

A Sense of Humour.

• No, you do not have to tell us a knock-knock joke every two-seconds, but making us laugh is always a bonus. It shows a free-spirited side. As a bonus, if you laugh at our jokes, it makes us feel really great, so that’s one way of getting bonus points. Plus, a woman with a nice laugh is amazing, so hopefully laughter is as contagious as they say it is.

Basically, we are looking for our future with the hope of being with our partner ‘til the day we die. That being the case, I now ask you women, what do YOU look for in a guy? Is your list similar to ours?

And as a side note, perhaps you can explain your love for chocolate…. Cause I definitely haven’t figured that one out yet.
