Do character, honesty, and integrity actually matter to a woman?

Honesty Integrity and character not only matter to me as a woman, but more importantly, those things also matter to God, and any woman who would turn that type quality down in a man or put a man down because of those qualities isn't worth being with... if you live your standards high you will end up with a woman who also has high standards, and when you get a relationship like that, there is much less chance for the relationship to fail in the long haul.

Little fat, and preferably curvacious. Height does not matter much so long as she's not very short or very tall. Hair color, eye color, and skin color don't matter so long as she's attractive. Age only matters to the extent that she can not be under the legal age or is too old to be attractive. Intelligence is important. Official education is unimportant, though knowledge is. Self-education is attractive because it shows initiative. What is most important though is character. A woman must be civil; she can't be jealous or dramatic or demand that her man have a great personality and sense of humor, or buy her gifts or talk to her about the man's private thoughts, and she should expect no less civility from the man. She should prefer touch over talk. A desire for children is also a plus.

Sense of humor, respect for women, willingness to show affection, attentiveness, honesty, and good manners.  Just to name a few.

Good sex, good food, and honest.  One that is loyal and loves spending time with her man, but also giving him the space he needs.  Never argue about things that don't matter and always flirting with your man.

I'm answering this from the viewpoint that your question is really what do women want from men....a man who has a job, doesn't live with his mother, has a vehicle, auto insurance and the means to drive it, no hidden families elsewhere, no criminal record involving felonies, a good communicator, respectful of older people, kind to children and animals, intelligent, and a sense of humor. In case you didn't notice, none of these involved physical traits. It depends on the age of the woman questioned. I'm in my mid-thirties and brunette.

if you take away the physical appearance of the female, which is obviously very important to men, then there are three things to look for in a girl. The first thing is flexibility. there's an incredible attractiveness to a girl that can be flexible on a date and not a miss priss that has to have everything go perfect. The second is integrity. Being straight up and honest with a guy is pricleless. A woman with integrity is a woman that can be trusted when all the evidence points elsewhere. And trust is the most important thing in a relationship. The third thing for a woman to have is that she has to be giving. A woman who is all about herself is very annoying, and needs to be pushed to the curb. As far as what you should do to show guys you like us, that's easy.  Men and women are different is so many ways.  Unlike women we don't give a damn about all the mental mind game crap.  if you like a guy tell him you're interested.  If a guy doesn't like you then he won't ask you out.  if a guy does like you he'll be relieved that you came forward and initiated something.

Developed character give honesty & integrity.  Discipline gives inteligence and a sense of accomplishment.  Love provides a servants heart.  All these are developed before a realtionship begins.  Know yourself well so your true self can be commuicated to another rather than an image conjured up to satisfy the supposed desires of others.

In reality it depends on the person. I think as we get older we appreciate more of the inner qualities of the opposite sex. When we settle down, we want someone we can sit down and talk to.  A beautiful girl is meaningless to us if she has nothing to say or has no goals in life.  I think guys choose a combination of both personality and beauty (beauty in the sense that the girl takes care of herself and has good hygene), but personality dominates of the two.  For me its the heart of the girl that matters and I don't want or expect any favours from anyone, if a girl does things from the heart, then thats what counts the most.

a man who is honest, loyal, fun-loving, affectionate, gentle, caring, loving, respectful..even in front of their home-boys and not scared to show their feminine side every now and again yet not a wimp....you notice that i did not mention a man with alot of money...most ladies these days are independent and as long as the man can hold his own..they can be working at mickie-dies for all i care..as long as they are not mooching off of me.

Welll I can answer as a man to a woman...here goes... I think the basis of every realtionship is half and half, in this I mean that you should have a steady balance of emotional and physical attraction. without both your never gonna get anywhere, looks fade and personality will change according to the relationship as a give and take.\n\nSecondly I think every guy agrees a faithful, independant, and confident woman will rank at the top of thier list any day of the week...but that's just my two cents :)

you will never get an answer that completely solves that question.  All women look for something different. some prefer the bad boy, while others look for a guy who is gonna lavish them will gifts.  The best thing to do is be yourself and know that somewhere (a) girl(s) are looking for the qualities you have.  Baseline though women want a man with a sense of humor, someone they can share interests with, someone who listens to them and generally cares about them.

Well If you get the right kind of women.... generally it won't be about looks. As far as emotionaly, you would think most women would want a guy who is sweet and romantic. Not to emotional and cry over everything but emotional enough to really care about things. Personality- Funny and outgoing. You need a good laugh and you don't want someone who never wants to leave the house and get to try new things. And of course he has to be nice and treat the women with the respect she deserves to be treated with!

That's a tricky question, cuz not all men are the same.Like me, I look for nice personality, honesty,and someone to love me for me, not for what I have.Most importantly, she has to have high self esteem.All the physical things come in a little later.

Honesty, sincerity, ambition ... above average libido, intelligence and a great sense of humour ... good lookin' with a great "bod" ... fairly well grounded i.e. spiritually and family upbringing. Not in any special order!\n\nA fair question would be ... have I found her yet??? eh!?!?

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.

Well, first of all, before asking for a good wife, one must be a good husband first. Being good doesn't mean being rich. So I would say the qualities include fidelity {most important}, compassion, accepting one for who they are etc.

This is a tough one to answer. In my case yes looks do matter to an extent. There needs to be some physical attraction in the beginning not that its the most important just a percentage. Body type really depends on the guy. I have dated several women with all different kinds of body types. A good personality is a must, its a real downer when your partner is always in the dumps or is angry all the time. I myself enjoy a good conversation so intelligence is a must (not a rocket scientist just bright). Tallents are always a plus, its nice to have a tallented girlfriend but not a necessity. All in all what I'm looking for in a woman is one that loves me as much as I love her. Someone that will be there when I need someone to talk to or be comforted. Basicly a best friend, I think that if your partner is your best friend your practically invincible.
