What women look for in men

Women have specific criteria and benchmarks when it comes to choosing the man they would like to have a relationship with. It comprises of both external and internal qualities that influence women and help them choose if the man is right for her.

External qualities comprise of the personality, the appearance, the way the man carries and conducts himself, his physique and so on. Internal qualities comprise of his character, sensitivity and understanding, maturity, intellect etc.

As far as the outer personality goes, a good looking, smart man is a plus point; however, beauty and looks are subjective and if women find more inner beauty, the physical appearance of the person can take a black seat. However, basic pleasant appearance and manners, and decent dressing is good enough to make a good impression.

Understanding and being sensitive to the woman’s need is one of the most important quality a women looks for. How far is the man accepting of her as the individual she is, how compatible is he with her, how he handles certain drawbacks of the woman, and maturity and sensitivity level. How far the person accommodates her also holds a lot of importance for women in deciding if the man is good for her.

Good communication skills, confidence, intelligence and humour also attract women. Women like men who aren’t serious by nature, and have a fun attitude, lightheartedness, high spirits and who have a cheerful disposition and can make others around happy. Having a positive attitude, stable mind, consistency of mood is also pleasing to women as the relationship becomes much more easy to handle.

One of the qualities women look for is the space and freedom the man offers her. Women need personal and private space even when they are in a relationship. They may be accountable to men they form the relationship with; however, they do not appreciate that the man exercises his superiority and influence over her. They should be allowed to make independent decisions and should not be treated as passive recipients in the relationship.

The man should not operate from a position of power and must treat her at par with himself. He should not force his opinion on her, should not push her into subjugation. The man must not be demanding or have stereotypical attitudes about women.
