What Women Want
Men and women have been trying to understand each other for thousands
of years. We often find the wants, needs and thoughts of the opposite
sex are like an elusive thread that we are trying to grasp hold
of. Many men have spent many hours trying to figure out what women
really want, in particular, what characteristics they are looking
for in a man. At some point you must have wondered how come your
neighbor who is a complete loser always tends to have female company
on the weekends? It seems that some guys are chick magnets, while
other perfectly decent guys have a hard time finding a date. While
it is impossible to speak for the whole female population, there
are some general characteristics most women will seek out in a man.
Looks, or physical attractiveness play a role in a man's desirability.
On the whole, it is safe to say that women place a lot less importance
on looks in a mate than their male counterparts do. If you are drop
dead gorgeous, you are sure to get the ladies attention, but once
you open your mouth, your looks aren't going to get you anywhere
if you say something stupid. A fundamental difference between men
and women is that women don't tend to stay with men that aren't
suitable for them because he looks good. What is important
to a woman, is that you have good hygiene and appear as though you
take care of yourself. A woman will notice that hole in the underarm
of your shirt, or the nose hairs you forgot to trim. She may not
immediately regard you as slovenly, but she will take it into account.
As for body weight, most women are not expecting abs of steel and
are generally forgiving about a little excess weight as long as
you are not drastically so.
More important than appearance, women are looking for what is inside.
Although that sounds cliché, it's true. Probably the single
most important character trait that women like in a man is a man
who can listen <I>and participate in the conversation. Listening
involves more than an occasional nod of the head when she is yammering
on and as basic as that sounds, it is a skill surprisingly uncommon
among men. Think back to your childhood as you witnessed and your
mom talking to your dad about something while he hid behind the
paper oblivious as to what was going on. In these modern times,
women are looking for men who are actually going to be participants
in the household, rather than just objects that sit in the corner
and have to be fed occasionally. This listening requirement starts
early in the dating phase, and if a woman feels she is with a guy
who doesn't listen, she is bound to assume he he doesn't care about
how she feels, and therefore may end the relationship. It may sound
peculiar, but it's true.
