Women look for a lot of things in men, but I think the number one thing women look for is security, in the sense that they generally want a man who will be able to take care of them and provide financially. This must not be misinterpreted to mean that women are opportunists, no there are lots of women who have their own money, but they still prefer a man who is able to provide for them using his own money. About two years ago I conducted a study on 'the battle of the sexes.' In that study, respondents were also required to state the qualities or attributes for their ideal partners. It was interesting, but not exactly surprising, to find that most (about 80%)of the female respondents preferred rich partners or someone who is 'well-off' as the majority of them put it. So it is safe to say the material condition count a lot amongst the attributes that women look for in a man.

Women also want a person who is supportive. Women are very strong when coming to multitasking. But they are generally very emotive and tend to take a big knock when under a lot of stress. They generally need someone who can support them and serve as a pillar of strenght for them. Thus, they do not want a selfish person. Women are themselves very supportive.

Also, women prefer a man who is able to communicate his feelings in a pricise way without having to pretend. But most importantly, most women I talked to prefer men who very are strong and who are able to put their feet on the ground when they do not agree with a particular point of view. They find those who tend to agree or give in easily very boring and not challenging. From this I have concluded that women strive on challenge. And this has explained for me the reason why good looking women tend to fall for rough and tough guys while kind hearted and goodlooking guys tend to be regarded as friendship material.

Women prefer men with good timing. For instance they want men who are romantic and who are able to take them out when the time is right and stay home with them when the time is right. This is because they always want to feel special, and if you can show them that you understand them and their feelings, you will be highly loved! Enjoy...
