What do men really want in a woman? This question has baffled and confused the female population ever since time began. And as a result, there are women out there who try to change themselves just to be more pleasing and more attractive to the opposite gender. There are those who try to be superficial, pretending to be someone else thus developing multiple personalities and a web of lies and deceit. And yes, just for a man.

So pretty much — what gives? Basically the preferences of men towards women vary depending on the man. As the popular saying goes “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Others might find a timid lady a challenge while other might tire easily. Generally, below are safe answers on the ultimate question of what they really want in a woman.

Let’s be honest. Physical attraction comes first so men look for the outward appearance of a woman. Contrary to belief, men want natural looking, simple and clean appearances that would include bright eyes, a body that is not too overweight and not too underweight, clean hair and nails. While keeping it natural and simple, men also prefers a woman who exerts an effort to make sure that she is always at her but have boundaries set on what can be way too much.

With the appearances checked, men would now look for a female with a good personality, perspective and attitude. Men prefer women who are strong and confident but definitely not with an attitude. A woman needs to have her own opinion regardless if it is opposed to the man’s belief. She should have her own stand and be confident to say it out loud. Gone are the submissive, always ready to yield and say yes women.

A woman who shares some of their common interest is a plus too or at least someone willing to give it a try. They are not looking for a carbon copy of themselves but a woman who shares the same interest like traveling or reggae music and small things can make the bond stronger. A woman smart enough and willing to try new things with him and can support him of his endeavors is a sure keeper.

It has also been noted that men look for a woman that is happy and positive, one who can smile easily and laugh just as freely and be herself all the time. An important factor that men look for a woman is someone that complements them naturally. Complementing in the sense of interdependence wherein mutual trust can be given completely, someone who is honest and who can appreciate him for all his worth. Men like to be looked after, so someone who is caring and attentive to his needs is also a trait that men look for in a woman.

Men basically look and need for a woman who can love him completely. Men are looking for a partner in life and a partner for his soul. Men reciprocate what they get wholly. A good and decent man deserves an equally good and decent woman!
