What do most women want in a man?

A woman would not try to mingle with a guy if she is not attracted to him. That's why I think first impressions is also important. Of course, women want a gentleman, who is kind and has a good heart. But appearance is as important because that's what women see first. In the outside, what do most women get attracted to?

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well it all depends on how a woman perceives. i think nowadays most of the woman look out for looks first and then his social security and stability as they would always like that after their marriage, their marriage life is secured and so that they will not have a tough time to run their family. Besides they will also look out for a long term commitment and trust from them. What say?

Those qualities are required for the long run. You can fall in love in a man that is poor and has no friends if he knows how to make you happy and thrilled. If he knows how to make attraction you will be attracted to him. Your mind will tell you to stay away, but, your heart will tell you to get him. I think you talked about requirements for marriage and not for how to create the attraction.

Hey subho. Yeah, they always look for looks first because it matters if they are attracted or not. Yeah. Second would be financial security. Even though it's very greedy of them that they need money, it's very practical now. Of course trust and respect must be there.

Yeah. For having a relationship, I think you have to know how to make her happy. It's about being charming.

Every woman is different. As you have mentioned first impressions are important in any situation. I'm attracted to a man that has a sense of humor, who shares similar interests and is confident with themselves. As far as looks goes, I like a man that is muscular and carries himself well. I'm not too particular in specific qualities of looks though.

I hope many more women will tell their honest answer so we, the men can make an average and start to do something about it lol. I think you have a wonderful relationship if your man is funny and share some interests with you. Let's assume there are many more men like your man. What will make you love him more than the others ? A professional guide would say the feelings that he brings up in you are the thing that makes the difference. What do you think about it ?

Yeah. Having a good sense of humor is important because it makes the conversation going. You should also share common things to keep something to talk about. It will become boring in the long run. Majority of women also like their man to be muscular. That's why it is a good investment to go to the gym and lift weights. That's true stringer. It's the feelings that make the women feel secure and comfortable with. It makes the total difference.

Woman mostly attracts those guys who are responsible and have a since of humor. Looks is only a plus. Another thing, they will count on you if you are gentlemen, I mean they value all your good deeds made for them

I started to watch a TV program that is called "Date in the Darkness". The guy and the woman meet each other in a special room with no light at all. They talk for some minutes and the impression that is left is not from their look. Some times the impression was so strong that the woman decided the guy was the right one for her. Some decided the guy wasn't the right one. Now, I'm still not sure what most women want in a man. It is well known they need not a servant, the man needs to have his own will and life. The woman needs him to be there for her. Some women love when their man is romantic and a good friend. I think attraction is the most important thing. The man needs to activate emotions in the woman. When talking, the woman doesn't need technical details. She needs something that brings up emotions.

Yes. It's true. You need to bring up emotions and be romantic. In most women they are vulnerable so it is quite fast for them to fall in love. Attraction is really important. For me, How can I present myself and improve my looks so that she'll be attracted to me?

A nice smile and a good sense of humor. Nice fingernails. Well manicured but not girly. Nice hands. And if you go walking barefoot any place make sure your feet aren't all gross looking. Nobody wants to look at that. Good luck.

Thank you for replying. Yeah. I hope I can have a good sense of humor. I am learning to be more conversational with women. I also like to have nice teeth but braces are expensive. Eventually I will have braces in the future if I have enough money. How can I have nice hands?

Keep your nails trimmed. A new hairstyle might help too. And here are some links you may find helpful: www.webmd.com/healthy-beauty/advances-skin-care-9/men-nails-hands www.wikihow.com/Be-Good-Looking and www.seductionflirt.com/site/1391530/page/3132056 These should help you out. In the wkikhow site ignore step 5 about makeup. I think that one's for women! And the last two sites have pictures. Notice the difference in the 2 guys with only minimal changes. And some women find a little shyness in men attractive. Remember - I said a little. Friendly and helpful are appealing too. I know you didn't ask for advice on behavior but I'm throwing that in for free.

A value laden man is what attracts me most . When he gives high respect to women , that makes him perfect. When he reads a lot of literature then shares to me , that is the best. When he looks at me without stain and accepting me as me without any why's. Those things magnetized me to him.

I was exactly what you have just described here. I accepted my girlfriend even though she was fat and felt bad about herself. I told her about the books that I read. I took her to a theater. She liked me too, but, as a friend only :(

Yes appearance is important because that is what everyone see first and then a instant need to know that person more we then look at personality . He dont have to be a gentleman to everyone just to me , I like a person that is willing to take risk and make me smile . I am speaking for myself , I dont ask for much , just all the perks that come with being in love .

Yes a good personality will out shine anything . Every girl is different and will like different thing but one thing most of us have in common is the need to be love and treated with affection . Dont be afraid to show her how you feel because that is what she may want a guy that is brave enough to take chance , if she ignore you once it just to see how much you may like her lol

That is one of my weaknesses. It's hard for me to make a girl smile. But sometimes I am successful, most of the time I am not. They always look for your personality. If you have a lot of personality then surely your appearance can be ignored and girls will like you.

Some probably will get attracted by the man powerful position, other may be drawn toward men with plenty of dough ($$$$$$$$$), few probably will go for the look on a man. They are not created the same for everyone, each has her own definition of attraction on a man.

You have brought up a good point about the powerful position. A man can feel good and feel like he is the best prize for the ladies and that brings the ladies to get attracted to him. Guys with good economic status and position have all the proofs and reasons to feel successful and they do act like they are successful and ladies like that kind of confidence and they feel he is the Alfa male around.

Physical appearance is usually the main reason why a womden want a man. They are easily attracted to guys who are handsome. Other woman even do not look on the attitude of behaviour of the men. But later on, if something happens or they had a trouble, the handsomeness is no longer be appreciated and will be the attitude and behavior that will be seen.

In my humble opinion is depend on the women. Because there are women who like men on their physical out looks. There are women also like men in their intelligent or abilities. There are women that like men because of their conditions in life or material thing. But I guess most women want men that really loves, care and make them happy.

Crazy girl wants to be killed by a crazy guy. Moreover she wants fun, fantacis and status, money. Non crazy girl wants fun philosophy and responsibilit, a bit decent money from a guy. Girls or guys got attracted by outer sexy appearanc is one of the chief factors to be attracted to each other.

Hi , For me the characteristics that you mentioned are some of what women likes in a guy and you are right with the physical appearance part but ofcourse every woman is different. Personally I would want to have a man that I can be comfortable with and just be myself and I want him to be the same with me, I think I will be happy to have an average guy, he doesn't have to be so good looking because honestly speaking so good looking people intimidates me, I don't know why . He should be trustworthy as well. I have to agree with Subhojit for the rest. I don't call it being greedy to want a financial security in a man because for sure no woman would want to have a poor future for her family especially for her children. It's only to make sure that the primary needs of the family are being provided.
• Philippines
27 Oct 12
Well, thanks for sharing. I also want an average girl because she may attract a lot of guys so that is very dangerous. hehehe That's the common answer, they want financial security. Well, as of now I haven't gotten it yet but hopefully women would want me for who I am and not for the money. It's hard to find those kinds of ladies now because they are into financial security now.

Hehehe I guess it will depend of what type of girl you're going to date with wether she is good looking or not, if she chose to look on the other side (cheat) then it will happen. Again I wouldn't say it's for money, I think financial security is the right definition, because for me, if I get involve with a man for his money alone (which I havn't done and I don't think I will) maybe I will not risk other emotions and wouldn't plan on spending my future with him. When I say future that includes to marry and have a family, without the financial security, you can't be sure if your family will have food to it until when, or if your children will have a good education, stuff like that, that is why love and other emotions is not enough for me, if it's only myself that I will have to worry about I wouldn't mind because I know how to earn on my own. On the other hand if all you have is money without an emotion it couldn't be called a relationship at all. Thank you .

Most women are initially attracted to what they see -- appearance, just like a man. However all women are different and find different things attractive in a man. It really depends on the woman and what she thinks about herself and her own attractiveness. Shy women may not be attracted to men who are very outgoing, whereas women who are very friendly will be. The question is just too general.

It definitely depends on what she needs. It also depends on who she is. When you started the discussion you mentioned appearance. A woman who keeps herself tidy will not be attracted to a man who is untidy.

Outside appearance? Beauty is the eye of the beholder and so, if a woman got attracted to a guy with outside appearance its because the first impression she sees is the personality and character of that guy. Beauty is very subjective. Woman would say that a guy is handsome, but the truth is she sees the personality and character of that guy and so, in her perception, the guy is handsome even though some people who sees him is not that attractive, or the woman is short and so, she was attracted to a tall man... its very subjective.

I get attracted to guys, but not necessarily wanting to have an intimate relationship, who presents himself in a descent way. I don't mean that he has to be wearing a tuxedo, but just be being neat and clean- a haircut that does not look like he has not gone to the barber for years or with nails which look like he has played in the mud for weeks!

i think most woman would really love and want a man who has a good character and personality on the inside, it is true that first we look at the appearance but what really makes a woman or any person fall for someone is the good character. every woman is different but a man who is true, respectful, generally good natured and hearted is what attracts most.
@jadoixa (1166)

well, if a man is good looking then he has a great character that is really a plus. but also a man can be attractive even if he's not really good looking as long as he knows how to present himself well. being good looking and attractive are different. good looking means you are born with a beautiful or handsome face but being attractive means to attract in terms of character also someone who knows how to take care of themselves in terms of proper hygiene and wearing presentable clothes that can add up and make someone appealing and attractive to anyone.

Woman want a man to be trustful and attentive to every little details that goes on in their lives. Appearance also is important. A man has got to dress well and also have to had a nice body as well. I do not like men with fat belly. I like men who's hair and face looks neat and tidy. Much more, we do not like men who are lazy and expects us women to do everything for them.
