What do women really want in a man

If I had the mind of every woman in this world, I know I wouldn't be able to sum up in one article what a woman wants in a man. Quite simply, we all want different things in a man, depending on the stage of our life that we are at. I can say, however, speaking from my own experiences and from listening to other women talk about their own relationships that there is a general guideline for what we are ALL looking for in a man. So men, read on, and see if you have what it takes to please a woman!

1. Women want to be LOVED. This doesn't mean to just tell her that you love her. Yes, she needs to hear the words I Love You, but she also needs to SEE that you love her. Remember when you first started dating, and you would open the door for her, buy her flowers just because, and couldn't keep your eyes off of her? These still need to be done! For the most part, we love romance, and here's a secret! Romance does not need to be expensive! Romance can be a quiet walk in the park at sun set, or breakfast in bed. Romance can be a foot massage, or simply picking up your woman's favourite chocolate bar on the way home from work!

2. Women want a man who will LISTEN. We love to talk. We talk about out day at work, the kids, our lives, our friends, our families. And yes, we're known to complain as well! However, for the most part, we don't need you to fix our problems, or to find solutions for us! We just need you to listen! If we need help we'll ask! We also want you to COMMUNICATE with us about what your day was like, and not monosyllable words and grunts. We want you to open up and spill your heart out to us just as much!

3. Women want to know that they're SEXY in and out of the bedroom! Yep, that's right! We want you to want us, when we're in our jogging pants, laying on the couch, AND when we're all dressed up in sexy lingerie. When you're not looking at us, wanting us, most of us tend to believe that there's something wrong with US, which is virtually impossible, but we believe it anyways!

4. Women want a man who is CONFIDENT! This in no way means being cocky. Simply be yourself, know yourself and own yourself! We want a man who knows his place in the world, and where he stands in our hearts. We want a man who can speak his opinion, but still listen carefully to another person! We don't want a man who needs alcohol to become the life of the party, nor do we want you to find your confidence by being rude to others, drugs, or owning lots of fancy things.

5. Women want a man who
