what do men really look for in a woman?

Being nice goes a long way for me. Of course we all want to have an obviously attractive mate. However, I've met really pretty girls with terrible attitudes that make them the ugliest of creatures. And I've also gone for some really nice girls that may not be the standard in beauty or physical form.\n\nAnother good quality is confidence. Not conceit, but knowing ones self to be good. Confidence is a secret weapon of both male and female. People will be attracted to such a person and may not even know why. \n\nIt also helps if you keep yourself well. Regardless of your physical shape, keep yourself clean and fresh. I've seen too many girls who think that they can just slop by. Every guy wants girl to 'look' like a girl.

to me a perfect guy will be:\n1-intelligent\n2-humourous\n3-assertive\n4-kind/sensitive\n5-romantic\n\ni could go on but i think they cover the generic wishes of women.  As for looks every woman has her idealistic look but usually ends up  with something completely different.  Personality will always win over looks but women do appreciate a man who grooms, makes an effort and has good personal hygiene.  If in doubt be urseld cos we love confidence, never be fake. and u know what if she doesnt appreciate what uv got or tries to change u - go find someone who'll love u for what u are. good luck in love.

The amount varies with the woman. Most women love that a man can be skilled at good conversation, and love that a man can be poetic. However, that alone is usually not all that a woman wants in a man. Women generally want a man who can do that, and be a "man" besides. By that I mean he can be strong, physically and/or emotionally, one that can take care of himself, and her and her children. One that can be trusted, depended upon for support, both financial and emotional. One that can be kind, generous, wise and fit. But to find a man that can be all that, and that has good communication skills, and a poetic nature? Wow! That is an awesome combination. That is the kind of guy a woman could see sitting down with their daughter, playing barbies, and being happy doing so. But he could also go play football with their son, or talk with her about the world situation, the neighbors problems, or the beauty in just a single leaf or rain drop. That, in other words, is the best kind of man. A well rounded, intelligent, strong, independent, kind, fun man. So, generally speaking, women are quite highly enamored of men with those abilities.

I look for: Honesty, good sense of humor, brains, kindness, sensitivity (but not a p.u.s.s.y.). Someone that has the some interests and goals as I do.\n\nI stay away from: Liars, cheaters, players, abusive (mentally, emotionally, and physical)..... oh and smelly guys. lol

It honestly depends on the guy.  From my experience anyway.  Some guys are genuine and look for a gal with a good personality (which is what should be important), although looks are also important - but should not be a deciding factor in whether or not a guy is interested.  There are guys out there that are more concerned with looks, but hey - looks can be deceiving :P

yes, and he will vary for every woman.  You may have to look for a while, but he is out there.  Look for characteristics in guys that stand out.  For instance, if they value a family, they might take any mother joke very seriously.  If they are kind natured and gentle, look for them to treat every person they meet with respect.  Whatever things you like in a man, look for them coming out in his life when you see him.  Good luck, I hope that helped.

depends on the guy and what type of relationship he is looking for a pretty little trophy to show off or someone he could possible settle down with someday.. personality, caring .. remember looks eventually fade

looks are important but not as much as you think. a woman places much less importance to how a man looks compared to how he can make her feel. so a keeping good attitude wold be recommended

Confidence, control and wit.  The combination of these characteristics are very sexy in a woman.  Looks can only get you so far.  I've known plenty of beautiful looking women, but when they displayed their true colors they became "ugly" to me.

don't know about the others as i usually don't have many female friends but i know for me someone who shows interest in some of the things i do, someone that i can hold a conversation with, someone that will hold the door for me. he's got to be caring, non judgemental, open minded, open to trying new things (doesn't mean in the bedroom), fun loving, lives life to the fullest, willing to take care of me as i would take care of him. looks aren't all that important but to have a good relationship there is definately a need for a physical attraction but over all it's how he carries himself. if he's sure of himself then i know i can be sure of him.

honesty, sweetness, romance, surprise, trustworthiness, a genuine caring attitude, sense of humor, strong sense of family, a good work ethic (not too lazy), fun\n\ni also think it's great when a guy really likes music, won't be afraid to dance with you, not ashamed to hold you in public, not afraid to meet your friends or introduce you to his, takes care of himself, smart, likes to read, likes to cook (or try to cook for you anyway). \n\ni probably missed more qualities... but that's what i want in a man anyway =)

Yeah you have what it take to get a lady. Like for me i look for a guy who can have just a good converstation and i look for truth ness not a lier,player or a one nite guy. I want some one that can be there in the high and lows and overall get along well.

Based on a comprehensive research study I just completed- it proves that the number one trait women look for most when they are searching for a mate is financial stability and social status- physical attractiveness is further down on the list- HOWEVER, for males, it is opposite- the number one quality men look for in women is physical attractiveness\n\nI am not sure how young you are talking when you say "young women" but I am 22 and financial security is more important to me than physcial attractiveness, which as I said above, falls into the norm\n\nThe one stipulation to this rule of thumb is what kind of relationship one is looking for- if a female is looking for a lifetime mate, the above remains true- however younger girls (pre-teen, teen) may not fall into that norm- Also if a person is looking only for a casual, sexual relationship, in that case physical attractiveness is more important

You'll find through this question that there are many different things that men find attractive. No one is the same.\n\nPersonally, looks play a little part in what I find attractive. Granted I will admit I do like to look at the "perfect" girls, but look and date is different. 97% of the "perfect" girls think they are to good for most people and have a very poor personality. \n\nIf I am out, the first thing I  notice on a female is her smile. From there it's her eyes.. Then from there it's her personality. I'm not the superficial type that has to have the girl with the perfect body. In fact, I prefer they dont. Those type of girls are more likely to cheat. Looks aren't everything. I've met some people that when I first seen them I was like WOW then after a few seconds of talking I thought what?? No way.. not interested.. It's a total package deal for me. And she absolutely has to get along with my friends and family. Otherwise, we wont last very long. And I have to get along with her friends and family as well... It's a 2 way street...
