What Do Women Want In Men?

Greg Wendland
Dating is confusing. The only thing more confusing than dating is women. What do you mean, what do I mean? I mean it. Whatever a woman tells you, chances are tomorrow she will feel differently about it. So, you are wondering just what is a woman looking for in a man. The truth is that the criteria really are that simple.
Honesty

Seriously, this is the most important criterion. Anyone that has been caught in a relationship where questions were consistently created by a partner's action understands the crippling power of "wondering". Women do not spend time worrying whether a man is interested or not, if they do not think so, they will move on. Do not play games, remember, honesty is the best policy.

Intelligence

Trust me, guys, women really do find this sexy. We are not talking Revenge of the Nerds intelligence. If you are wearing pocket protectors and pushing up your glasses every 3.35 seconds, chances are your intelligence is not going to help. However, if you can hold a decent conversation on a variety of topics, women will find you worth their time. College degrees are not a necessity, if you can debate topics and are well spoken, you will find a woman to be more attentive to you. So, take your hand out of your pants, Al Bundites, and use it to open a book.

Hard working

Lazy men will not get away with faking it. The most important thing is that a man has goals, even if they have not achieved them yet. Just to be seen as working towards those goals show ambition. Placing your job and future in a position of importance will show a woman that you have plans for your future and they will find that appealing. A serious red flag is one where a man cannot hold down a job. You may not be asked to hand in a resume to prospective girlfriends, but believe it guys, women are reviewing your work history.

Sense of Humor

Women love to laugh. When everything is falling apart, the one thing they look for is laughter. Keep this in mind, guys, if there are problems in the relationship your woman will be drawn to anyone who can make them laugh and feel special. If that is not you, be ready for a bumpy ride. Life is not always about laughter. Sometimes you have to be serious to handle serious problems. However, be sure to keep that sense of humor at the fore and available to your woman. She will find you more appealing and more dependable during the rough times.

Reliability

You want to be able to count on your partner, right? Women feel the same way. No matter the situation, women need to know that their man will be there through thick and thin. Are you a quitter? Do you give up easily? Women will see this, they will take note and they will remember. Keep in mind, that work resume they are silently reviewing will tell them a lot more about you than your actions. They need someone that will be there when everything starts going wrong. This does not mean smother your partner. It simply means, be available on a moments notice to comfort and support your woman in her endeavors.

Shared Values

Let's face it, if you don't share the same ideals and values as your partner, how are you ever going to survive in a long standing relationship? Opposites may attract, but they do not always work out in the end. If you do not share the same vision, a woman may question if you are the right man for her.

    What do women want? everything! But most of all money! It tops all of those things. You have to know they are not logical, so they don't understand all those things is an impossibility you can only get close to it like 80 percent or something not 100 Percent. One of my friends who has some beautiful women who want to hook up seriously with him can't, why well he told me they're crazy! Oh yeah he has money.
