What a Woman wants in a Man?

Estelle J. Garrido

Finding the right woman is one of the most important and, sometimes, the hardest things men may have to do. We humans aren’t meant to live alone, so we look for a suitable mate almost our entire lives to spend the rest of our lives with. Even though it’s easier for women to find life partners, the same cannot be said for men.

Even though the current online dating age makes dating easier than ever, many men worldwide feel it isn’t for them. Many young men worldwide never get to have their dream girl because they don’t understand what she likes. This article tries to answer the question “what a woman wants in a man?” to help men of all ages finally understand what to prioritize when trying to date a girl they really like.

If you read this article from the beginning to the end, you will have a good understanding of what a woman will look for in you. Many men don’t understand what women like, and because of that, they ruin their chances of getting their dream girl and ruin the day for the girl.

Men need to understand that even though women like men with killer looks and insane physiques that is not the only thing women look for in men. Women don’t care about their partners’ attractiveness as much as men do. Studies have shown that women will choose men with certain qualities even if they aren’t that good-looking.

So, we can assume that most men have been doing it wrong. Women prefer caring, honest, protective, and virtuous men to ragged bad boys.

What do women want in a man?

Men have a misconception that all women want a certain type of man, but that’s not the case. Some people are different and look for different things in a partner. What kind of man a woman might like is completely circumstantial. What type of man a girl might find attractive depends on their situation and the type of partner they are looking for.

Even though humans don’t have alphas or betas, these terms can be used to classify two different types of men. The more assertive, insensitive, and aggressive men are usually classified as alphas. The more caring, soft, and sensitive men are classified as betas. Online men’s health circles often mislead young men into believing that women like rough “alpha” males. They often get rejected when they attempt to put that advice into practice.

Women may feel attracted to a physically attractive man at first. Still, they often don’t want a long-term relationship with them if they don’t have some “beta” qualities. There is truth to the fact that some women prefer “alphas,” but not for a stable, long-term relationship.

Patriarchal societies have forced women to depend on men to provide food and shelter. Research also shows that women often go for a socioeconomically well-off man. So it shouldn’t be a shock to know that men prefer men with better socioeconomic conditions than men who aren’t as well off.

Another common misconception is that men prefer good-looking men more than men who aren’t as attractive. Studies have shown that even though women may admire men who look like Greek gods, they will most commonly choose men who are sensitive, caring, loving, and honest.

Men mostly gravitate towards women who are the best-looking, but looks aren’t that important to women. But studies have shown that women prefer men who are at least a few centimeters taller than them more than men who prefer shorter women.

Another thing women like about men is their ability to carry themselves with confidence. Women, like confident men, are focused on everything they do. Confidence and focus show that a man is not afraid to commit and will not back out when things get rough. Women want to be certain they can trust a man before choosing him as a potential mate.

What male-character traits do women like?

Unlike men, women don’t want to focus on how a man looks to choose a potential mate. What women want in a man is mostly compatibility. If a woman thinks your character traits are incompatible with hers, she will never even consider you a potential mate. You need to show her that you have the right character traits to be with her.

Even though different women like different things about men, there are some key character traits that all women look for in men. Women want to know if they can share their own lives with a man; if the man they choose will support them through thick and thin. Women want men who will complement them instead of treading all over them. Women want equal partners, not a guardian.

All this might sound confusing to some of the younger readers of this article; they will understand these things themselves as they grow older. Meanwhile, to help our male readers improve their chances of getting the girl they want, we have created a list of some character traits that most women find attractive in men.

The list of male character traits is as follows:

• Respectfulness: Women understand that a lot of men don’t respect them. Many men believe that since they are somewhat physically stronger, they don’t have to give women respect; rather, the women have to be subservient to them. Women dislike men like this and will always gravitate toward men who treat them with respect. So if you’re respectful to the girl you want, she will likely like you back.
• Trusting: A lot of men don’t trust their female life partners. They are often suspicious of women and believe all women are out to cheat. But we all know that is not the case; even though some women cheat like some men, not everyone is a cheater. Women like men who trust them enough to see them talking to other guys and not feel insecure about it. Women prefer a man who is trustworthy and believes in them.
• Trustworthy: Just as women want their men to trust them, they also want their men to be trustworthy. When a woman sees you betraying a long-time friend or betraying someone, they will have some trust issues with you. Men often cheat on their girlfriends, and the likelihood that the girl you’re trying to impress has been cheated on before is very high. So, you should try your best to gain her trust and make her believe you will never betray her.
• Honesty: Women like men who are truthful. A woman always admires and respects a man who is honest in all aspects of his life. A woman does not like being lied to because she distrusts a man if she finds out he is a habitual liar. Trusting a habitual liar is something no one would do, let alone someone with whom they may spend the rest of their lives. So, if you want a girl to stay with you for a long time, you must always be honest with her, no matter what.
• Integrity: Integrity means good behavior and a strong sense of character. Women want a man who is honest, fair, and ethical. In terms of relationships, having integrity can help build a man’s bond with a woman by guiding his behavior and allowing him to be his best partner.
• Humorous: Women prefer men who can make them laugh. You can only be humorous if you’re bright, and they also value intelligence. What matters is that two people in a relationship laugh at each other. So use all of those little side jokes that make your friends laugh liberally with the woman you like. It can help her take a break from things that are bothering her.
• Compassion: When it comes to charming women, a sympathetic and sensitive man is one step ahead. Women want the kind of man they can confide in, whether about a difficult day at work or their deepest dreams and worries. Empathy understands another person’s point of view and how they might feel. Women are drawn to men who have the ability and desire to care for and feel concerned for others.
• Passion: Women love a passionate man more than a man who has no fire inside. A man driven to achieve something or does everything he does from the heart will always be more appealing to a woman.

You don’t have to possess all of these qualities to impress a woman. You can still impress your girl even if you don’t have all these characteristics. If you don’t work on improving yourself, a woman may think she will not have a life with you and will be driven away.

What should you not do with a woman?

Now that you know what a woman looks for in a man, it’s about time you knew what drives a woman away. You need to understand that even if you find something “cool,” it doesn’t mean the girl you’re trying to impress will find it “cool,” too. When trying to impress a girl, you must remember that how you act around her will determine her reaction to you.

It’s okay to be yourself around women, but being yourself doesn’t mean you get to be annoying and disrespectful to a girl. You should focus on showing her your good sides, not the rude ones. You should always focus on making the girl comfortable around you and letting her open up. Don’t be a sour puss and tell her what she should and should not do because it’s likely you don’t know her enough to have a say on what she can or cannot do.

To make it simpler for our younger readers, we have listed some common behaviors that may drive almost all women away.

The list of the things you should try to avoid doing if you’re trying to impress a girl is as follows:

• Have proper manners: Having proper manners anywhere is important for everyone. But when you’re with a girl you like, you should always pay attention to your manners. Don’t be loud or annoying unless the girl you’re with enjoys it. Keep yourself composed and sharp throughout the date to show your manners to the girl you like.
• Don’t be rude: A girl will not stay with you if you’re rude. Some guys think being rude shows that they’re assertive and will impress girls, but that is definitely not the case. You should always be polite to the girl you’re with and the people around you. Do not be rude to waiters or Chauffeurs, as it will make your girlfriend think you’re not a mentally stable person.
• Don’t be negative: women nowadays don’t like to be told what they should and shouldn’t do. You can show concern for her, but if she thinks she can and has to do something, never try to stop her from at least giving it a try. Modern women like to try things for themselves, even if they might not succeed. That’s why you should always be supportive of all the positive things she wants to accomplish.
• Don’t try too hard: Women love to see the genuine side of the man she’s with, so you should never try too hard to be something you’re not. Simply be the best version of yourself around the woman to demonstrate to her how good the real you is.
• Don’t be dominating: even though some women like dominating men, the same cannot be said of all women. Most women nowadays like to feel equal in a relationship, and they do not like to be dominated all the time. Women prefer to see a friend in their boyfriend or husband rather than a guardian, so treat the girl you like as an equal and avoid having a domineering personality. When a man’s too dominating or to be the stereotypical man women see him as incompatible.
• Don’t be a buzz kill: If you want your girl to stay for good, you must make her understand that she won’t be bored with you. That is, try to have fun with the woman you like. Try to be cheerful when you two participate in fun activities, and don’t be grumpy. You need to make the girl feel comfortable around you, and she should have the urge to hang out with you again sometime because of how much fun you had.

Apart from the reasons mentioned above, women may turn away from you because of something they don’t like. Still, if you follow some of the directions, you should be fine.

Summary

Many men believe that women are mysterious beings who don’t let men fully understand what they want. But the truth is, when you think about it, women aren’t much more complicated than men. Women are like things that any normal person would want. They want someone they can have a relationship with and be themselves with.

The next time you try to impress a girl, just think about how you would like a new person to act around you. After you do that, act around the girl you like. If you feel that version of you isn’t cutting it, properly communicate with her about it. Try getting to know more about her and what she likes; ask about her favorite foods, her favorite activity, where she likes to go, and her son.

When you know what she likes and doesn’t like, put your flair on those things. If you do not like or enjoy anything the girl likes or does, you should close that window and look for someone who will enjoy the things you enjoy and find someone more compatible with you.
