Contrary to what you might think, most guys
aren't looking for a supermodel. They're just
looking for their perfect match: a woman
who's down-to-earth, sweet and sensitive to
his needs.
Here are ten attractive traits that every man
keeps in mind when deciding if the woman
(i.e. you) sitting across the dinner table at that
first date is girlfriend material.
#1. . . She's Got Confidence
Take it from the guys, nothing is sexier than a
woman who's comfortable in her own skin. If
you're guilty of meekly asking lines like: "Does
this skirt make my thighs look fat?" …stop
asking. If you're constantly needing his
reassurance that you're beautiful, he may
start asking questions himself.
#2. . . . . She's Intelligent
Acting like a bimbo loses its novelty to men
after high school. What men want in a
girlfriend is a woman who can stand as his
equal. So be the smart, savvy woman you are!
To him, it's a total turn-on.
#3. . . . She's Not Materialistic
Yes, he wants to be your knight in shining
armor. And yes, he wants to treat you like the
princess you are … but that doesn't give you
license to act like one. Allow him the luxury of
treating you with romantic dinners and
surprise baubles without having to demand
them of him. He'll be relieved that he doesn't
have to try so hard and surprisingly, this will
inspire him to rise to the occasion when he
doesn't have to dedicate his whole paycheck
to lavish tokens of his love for you.
#4. . . . She's Spontaneous
One of the first things to go in a relationship
is the spontaneity. You get stuck in your
Friday night dinner dates and you lose that
spark you had when you first started dating
each other. Don't lose it! Men love a woman
who can do things spur-of-the-moment.
#5. . . . She's Laid-Back
What's one of the best things you can do for
your relationship with him? Relax. Just relax.
When you come home from a long, hard day
at work and see those dishes piling up in the
sink, we know you have the urge to lash out
at him. Instead, try to let it go for the night.
No man likes a nag and every man likes a
woman who can let her hair down and doesn't
sweat the small stuff. We're not saying to just
kick back and bro out with him, but a
relationship is solid when you're able to relax
with each other.
#6. . . . She's Playful
Guys like a girl who laugh at their jokes, but
isn't mindless and isn't always serious about
everything. Just as we mentioned that men
like a woman who can forgo nagging him
about the dishes, they like a woman who can
joke about the dishes too. Biting remarks and
snappy comebacks are just the witty repartee
to keep the spark between you in your
relationship. And hey, isn't laughter the best
aphrodisiac?
#7. . . . . She's Sensual
We've already mentioned before that it's not
all about your looks (albeit, that's a good
motivator for some men) — it's more about an
air of sexiness and confidence that will draw
his eyes to you when you enter the room.
Embrace your femininity. Ditch the sweatpants
for date night and take the extra ten minutes
to pull the LBD from the back of your closet.
You shouldn't feel pressured to strut around
the bedroom in lingerie and high heels like a
Victoria's Secret angel every night, but you
should feel comfortable in your own sexuality…
and expressing that sensually to your man.
#8. She's Honest
If he can't trust you — how can he ever see
you as his girlfriend … and eventual spouse?
Keep things open and honest in your
relationship. A little white lie over flirty texts
with an old guy friend from college can spiral
out of control very quickly into a full-blown
fight … and breakup.
#9. . . . . She's Independent
Dating a driven, passionate woman? So hot.
Babysitting a stage five clinger? Not so much.
No man wants a girlfriend they have to
reassuringly text, call or visit every five
minutes. Give him his poker night with the
boys. Let him go golfing on a weekend. Learn
to give your guy his space — or he may break
up with you to get it.
#10. She's Supportive
As clichéd as it is, some men want to be
caretakers … but even the strongest of men
want a soft place to fall. He wants to know
that you'll support him and stand by him in his
life choices, whether it's changing careers or
moving to a new city. Show your support in
small gestures with a quick "I love you" text
when he heads off for his morning commute
and listen to him after a hard day's work. Be
supportive — but not suffocating. The last
thing you want is to remind him too much of
his mother.
