DateInBedDateInBedWhat do women really want in the man of their dreams? Should he be a Greek god riding that mythical white horse or rather a Lamborghini? Do women look for a chivalrous knight in shining armor? There are several myths surrounding women, and even though these are taken as general truths, women in real life want something else. Most women do not look for cars, diamonds, and palaces and wish to be the damsel in distress to their knights.
Single women or those who go through one or many breakups look for some basic qualities in a man. There should be some specific qualities in a partner that heighten the chances of compatibility and strengthen love and bonding for years.
These are a few must-have qualities all women hope to find in their ideal partner.
Gone are the days when women would even put up with verbal abuse and lack of respect for a few words of love. Love cannot survive in a relationship for long if there is no mutual respect. If a man is too evident about his lack of honor towards the woman, choosing the wrong words and comments during every conversation, love will never bloom even if you look like a Greek god.
Every woman wants respect from men. This is the first quality that will make you eligible in her eyes for love and relationship. Women hate men who have zero respect for females. No self-respecting woman wants to date a man who has derogatory thoughts for women, berates their struggle and intellect, and objectifies them. Putting up with an inflated male ego and patriarchal attitude is not what women would like to put up with for long. Women with self-respect are dead against patriarchy and respect is the first quality they like to see in a man.
Most women leave men who fail to respect them or ladies in general during a conversation. They would never enjoy objectifying remarks, abuse, and filthy comments regarding women, even if you feel it makes you look like a macho. In reality, it brings you down in the eyes of women who wouldn’t care to go into a relationship with a person who has zero respect for others. Thus, respect is the first step towards compatibility and makes an ideal partner out of a man.
Let’s be brutally honest on one ground. Saying that “all men cheat” is not something that makes you a dude in front of women. It makes you undesirable because women would want loyalty from a man. If she cannot trust your character, she won’t consider you as a person to settle down with. She needs someone to rely on, someone who would be there for her always. Honesty makes a man prove his integrity to a woman.
Every woman wants to be loved without being cheated. If she has to consider you as a partner for life, she would expect trustworthiness and dedicated loyalty from you. A man with such characteristic qualities becomes more appealing to women. She wants someone honest, dependable, and who would never leave her heartbroken. After all, who wouldn’t like to grow old with the man they love. Seeing a woman being loved and cared for in old age by her man is the most delightful sight you can see.
Breakups happen mostly when a partner cheats and leaves the other one shattered. Justifying yourself saying all men cheat and she should forgive you because you made a mistake due to your gender is the worst thing you can say. Stay honest to your love, own up your mistakes, and be genuine with your words and feelings. Playing around will make her hate you because women fall for men who are sincere, loyal, and whom they feel they can trust.
Being a man doesn’t mean you lose out on the softer emotions in life. A compassionate and sensitive man is way more desirable to women than those who lack feelings. Men often harden up and lack sensitivity towards issues in life. They end up hurting women who wouldn’t tolerate insensitivity for long.
Compassion and empathy go a long way in making you a suitable man whom women would want to trust and open up to. They may wish to tell you about their personal issues, troubled childhood, family problems, inner fears, deepest feelings, or even about their mood swings and bad days. The least they would want while discussing such intimate issues is disregard and carelessness from your end. If you happen to scroll your phone, check messages, or ignore her during such conversations, she would soon lose interest in you. Women want to open up to their partners, craving understanding and empathy from them about every emotion they go through. The slightest disregard, mockery, or insensitive behavior towards such feelings makes them hate such men for all the right reasons.
As a man, you must try to be sensitive towards your partner’s problems, however slight they may seem. Sympathize with their emotions, show how much you care, and give an understanding shoulder to comfort them. Women love when their men get them the hot bag during cramps without asking for it or cook a surprise dinner during mood swings. Sit down with her and lend your shoulder for support, letting her know she can hold your hands tight whenever she feels down and lonely. This is what makes you a true man, one whom women would like to have as a partner for their life.
Sensitivity is a vital character trait that makes a man appealing. When a woman finds security and comfort in a compassionate and sensitive man, they feel deeply attracted.
Grace is one vital quality that keeps a man ahead in the line of suitors to a woman. Contrary to the belief that women look for charisma and machismo in a man, they actually look for grace and courtesy. A man with an impressionable demeanor, graceful nature, and good manners impresses women with no effort. When you have a courteous attitude in general towards people, it attracts women because they find you gentle, caring, and a man with principles.
Movies and pop culture often spread the misconception that women fall for the bad men, the ones with inflated masculinity. But in reality, women fall for gentleness and grace. They long for care, compassion, and courtesy from their men, who would never be hurtful or disgraceful even on the bad days. Courtesy isn’t just about holding the chair for her or opening the car’s door. It shows how you speak, the words you choose, the respect you show towards others, and how you treat people.
Moreover, even during rough patches and fights, a man who holds onto his grace, remains affable, and never abuses and screams is a quality women dream for in their partners. A graceful man who behaves with dignity and remains down to earth is a quality cherished for life. Thus, remember to become a true gentleman to be the man of her dreams.
Lastly, maturity is what makes you a man. Women would want to stay with a man rather than a boy in the long run. Maturity is a trait that shows you know how to deal with things in life while holding onto all the other qualities discussed above. If a man is emotionally mature enough, he would always be graceful, calm, sensitive, sincere, and respectful. Women find them the most suitable to become the best husbands. Truly, mature men with calmness, stability, and humility make the best husbands always.
Maturity is essential in striking up a deep conversation too. Women find security, comfort, and understanding in men who show maturity in thinking and reaction to problems. You can be jovial, silly, and even put up a great sense of humor. But, when it comes to handling real issues, your attitude in dealing with them after a calm discussion and addressing them with confidence and integrity proves your character.
Women prefer men who are strong enough to deal with everything in life with a calm and composed approach while still putting on their best behavior. It’s a must-have quality that helps to build a long-lasting relationship.
In the world of online dating, swiping profiles left and right, and checking out sexual compatibility, these inherent qualities in a person go a long way in concretizing a relationship. Yours looks, and charisma may help you date a woman, but it’s your inner qualities as a man that will take your relationship ahead and make you an eligible suitor to her. Build your character as a true and honest man to become the ideal partner for the woman you love.
