What Women want in their man?

All these terms listed above receive millions of searches in Google every month. But in reality does the concept of ‘perfect man’ exist? Well, I think they do… in fairy tales and in Mills and Boons.

It is said that a woman’s mind is a mystery which cannot be read. This is indeed true. I had this discussion with some of my friends and got several interesting answers all of which is difficult to put in here. Moreover, I hadn’t taken notes. For some their Mr. Right should be ‘tall, dark and handsome’ and some want their men ‘rugged, bit of stubble, rough hands and one that smells like a man’ or in other words ‘a man with an exciting wild side’. While I cannot speak for all women, I am listing below some characteristics majority of women want in a man.

Given below are some characteristics or qualities women look men.

1. Maintain a Groomed Look: The ideal man should be hygienic in all aspects. Every thing he wears or carries should be clean, including his shoes and hankies. He should be well dressed, have a good haircut which suits his personality, tidy and cut nails and smelling nice. Poor hygiene, awful attire, body odor, annoying habits and repulsive breath is enough to turn off any woman. In short, the way a man carries himself is what all woman would notice first.
2. Have a Sense of Humor: It does not mean that woman wants their men to be jokers but Woman love men who can make them laugh. Woman are emotional creatures they like being happy and enjoy light and joyous moments. However, a sense of humor cannot stand alone. A good sense of humor along with confidence and positive outlook can trigger the right buttons in a woman.
3. Care for her and Offer her Surprises: Woman love surprises. It does not mean that you have to show up with another woman in your arm. Predictable men bore them to hell. Women like gifts. Gift your Partner something fancy when she least expects it. Surprise her by planning a trip, preparing a nice dinner, giving a bunch of her favorite flowers or taking her out for shopping. Every Woman likes to be pampered. Women, one way or the other, are nothing but over grown babies who constantly need care. But every woman has their likings, give things what she likes instead of forcing your likes on her and show her that you care and would be always there for her. Woman like men who would devote time for her. This can get a woman attracted to you forever.
4. Be Reliable, Responsible and Supportive: Every Woman wants her partner to be reliable and be there for her when she needs her. Woman likes men who can be their emotional support or a shoulder when they need to cry. They also want their man to be responsible and financially stable.Modern woman wants her man to stand on his on legs and not be influenced by friends, parents, colleague’s etc. The Modern Woman who maintains a proper balance with home and work expects support from her man in all aspects. An Ideal Man needs to be sensitive to the requirements of the partner, treat her as an equal, understand when she needs to stay late at work, help with housework and contribute to the expenses. Woman can’t stand men who under estimate them or think they are superior. Good camaraderie and conversation are qualities which can be used to charm a lady.
5. Love, Understanding and Honesty: Every woman needs to feel loved. Offering surprises is part of her definition of love but she also needs the words and want to show her that you love her. Women want their men to understand her spoken and unspoken requirements. She needs you to respect her and not treat her like an instrument. She wants you to share her opinion and listen to her too. Woman cannot resist a man who understands her moods, attitude, feelings, values, likes and dislikes. Women also expect honesty in men. Honesty is what builds trust in your relationship with your woman. She may even forgive your mistakes but only if you are honest with her and promise not t do it again. Hiding things and dishonesty infuriates her. Women like their men to be open to them at all times and not keep them in the dark about what is going on in their man’s life.
6. Offer Protection: A woman need to feel safe and secured with her man. She needs to feel that when he is with her no one can harm her. You don't need to be a muscle man but atleast when you are with her others should not be making passes at her. She wants her man to behave like a man and treat her like a lady when she is with you. She also likes it when you open doors for her or pulls up a chair for her to sit while you are at a restaurant.
7. Fidelity and Skilled in Bed: The Modern woman knows what she wants in the bedroom and don’t like men who cannot get it up. At the same time she expects her man to be faithful to her and her alone. No woman would tolerate a cheating partner. Good sex plays a vital part when it comes to a satisfying relationship and if you are not skilled in bed that is going to be a major turn off.

Finally, I think many women unconsciously also look for the traits her father has in her partner. I did too!
