What men look for in women is not always easily identifiable and will differ from one man to another. While some men prefer statuesque blondes with interests in healthy lifestyles, others lean towards studious, dark haired women who are charitable and environmentally conscious. Other men just simply want a warm body and someone who listens.

Men are not always easy to understand. We spend more time protecting our egos than allowing ourselves to be honest about what we really want in a relationship. Men visit strip clubs to get aroused, but would never want the woman in our lives taking clothes off for other men. We would never admit to reading relationship manuals, but few of us know how to get them right. What's even worse is that we take advice from friends, who also fail terribly at their relationship.

Deep inside, we want the same things most women want. To love, and be loved by the one person who makes our hearts flutter out of control. We want to establish happy, healthy lives and grow old with that special someone. The woman who can walk that delicate balance of allowing us to keep our egos intact while stimulating us emotionally, intellectually, and sexually will have us eating out of the palms of their hands. Here are some of the things that men really look for in a woman.

Initial Attraction

Most men initially view a woman as a potential sex partner. We are attracted to both her femininity and her sensuality. We want a woman who exudes both, without being too much of either. For many men, seeing a woman wearing too little is way too much, even though it'll attract our attention. If a woman appears too easy, our subconscious leads us to believe that she'll be easy for the next guy, too. Men like to have something left to the imagination. We may fantasize about bad girls, but we wouldn't want to bring one home to meet the family.

Dating

Men (like most women) like to be seduced, but the seduction must be subtle. We still like to think that we're in charge. We like to feel as though we're calling the shots, even when we have no clue as to what shots to call. In other words, after we stretch our creative capabilities with the most awe inspiring night imaginable, we'll need help. It's OK to drop hints, then allow us to pretend that it was our idea in the first place. Men want a woman who can let us be strong, even after she's aware of our weaknesses. Someone to fill the void of our frailties, making us stronger than we could be alone. You must understand
