What women want in men?

Two of the most important things are honesty and sincerity.

Thanks for the answer. But isn't this an "idealistic" answer? In my observation, I find looks/physical build, financial well being tend to be the focal points.

I don't think that that is necessarily true. I personally look for a combination of traits. Of course good looks is part of the initial attraction, but a good looking guy who does not have the personality to go with it is unnattractive for me (and I can speak for most of my friends as well). Looks fade and the most important thing is that you end up with someone who you can love and trust. I don't think that financial well being is as much of a focal point today as in the past, because women are more independent professionally and financially than ever.

Well, actually I wasn't initially wowed by my fiance's physical appearance.  We met online as a matter of fact and the pic he had wasn't that great.  I did love his profile and after we talked for awhile on the phone we met in person.  He was completely different from the physical type of guy I had dated before, but the moment we locked eyes I knew he was the one for me.  And kissing him?  Fireworks.  Its not all about looks.  A guy's personality is #1, although there does have to be some physical attraction, its not the most important thing for a lot of women I know.  There are shallow people out there unfortunately who are focused only on looks.   I agree that honesty and sincerity are important, along with romance and passion!

Compassion.  A great sense of humor.  A Genuine personality. Intellect.  And, yeah, I'll admit it, we're shallow. Good looks will get you really far at first, but if you CAN'T support those looks with the intelligence, personality, etc, then you're out.   We can spot a fake a mile away.  If we detect any hint of "skeezeball" from you, we don't trust you as far as we can throw you.

ok, first of all you have to be humble at times. Girls don't like guys that are all conceeded and selfish. Thats a big one!!!! We like looks, there defidently important but there not the best thing. We see past a pretty or ugly face. We also like guys that are comforting at THE RIGHT TIMES!!!! Some times we need to just be left alone and sometimes we need a shoulder to cry on. The worst thing you can do is be doing something while your talking on the phone with her or on a date or just simply spending time with her. That makes us feel unimportant, like where not your first priority, either say i cant talk right now ill call you later or just stop what your doing and find somewhere quite to get comfitorable cause youll be on the phone for a while we like 2 talk :D If its a date or something try including us in what your doing or if thats not possible just reschedule it and make it at least 5 times bigger and better that what it was soppost to be before. Were pretty understanding so dont lie just tell the truth. We LOVE honesty! Another thing that will get you far is if at times "like once a week" you go out of your way to do something sweet and nice for us like right a love poem, or if your not good at that simply buy flowers! We dont care how dorky it is we will freakin love what ever you do! The last think i have to say is while your doing all this it has to be real, if its fake we wont trust you and we will kick you to the curb!!!!

-Good luck

Hope i was helpful!

they want a man to talk to them cuddle hold hands  hold them when they cry go for walks buy flowers cook them a nice dinner take them on a trip and most of all be in love with them

I agree that "financial well being" is very important, but women don't want millionaires, I can speak for this woman anyway, I don't want to have to worry about supporting him, I've worked too hard all my life financial supporting members of my family, because of their mistakes.  But financial stability is one of the things I look for, after I get to know him better,,

I look for a sense of humor, its very important to me that he can laugh at the world and himself.

I am not attracted to someone who takes himself tooo seriously..

I like arrogance to a point, and I like to feel protected and safe..  

Looks fade, but they are important, initially, you have to be able to accept someone with all of their "warts" heaven knows, I am not perfect, perfect is for 20 year olds.

I hope this is helpful ..
