If you’re reading this article, you might be curious about how a woman needs to come across in order to please a man. Firstly, that’s not what this article is about and secondly, it’s 2017 not 1917 – no one should have to change just to make someone else happy. Nevertheless, if you haven’t had luck with finding a man worth finding, here are 10 things that a man hopes to see in the woman he cares about.
Dependability
Everyone likes to be around people they can count on. Everyone has that one friend who can’t keep a date, shows up late or “forgets” to bring the thing for the party that they were supposed to. Don’t be that person.
Kindness
The world is a harsh place. A man hopes to have the love of a woman who is kind to him. He should be kind as well, of course. Kindness towards your fellow human beings brings peace into your life and his.
Her own interests
Adults shouldn’t have to rely on one another for something to do or think about. A woman with her own interests will be surprised to find that a good man will throw himself behind her interests fully.
The desire to anchor a home and family
My first reaction was that this was an “old-fashioned” idea, but after some thought, of course, it’s not. The desire to be a vital part of a home and family is vital to the ongoing existence of mankind. For the most part, we want it in our mates – don’t we?
Emotional intelligence
In Helene Lerner’s book, “The Confidence Myth”, she talks a great deal about emotional intelligence, which comes down to listening to and acknowledging your emotions, and the emotions of others, without being ruled by them. Men can appreciate and understand its value, even though women tend to have more of it than men.
Social skills
Being able to function brightly in social settings says a lot about a person’s interests and confidence. He wants the woman he loves to be confident and interesting – for her own sake.
Self-esteem
If you’re down on yourself, it hurts him to see it. There is always reason for every person to work on their self-esteem and to make sure it brings confidence and balance in life. A healthy self-esteem gives your lover confidence that you’re going to be OK if things get rough.
Good hygiene
She’s a drop-dead beauty. She walks past you. She smells like old cheese, and her hair hasn’t been washed in weeks. Nobody wants that. Well, most people don’t want that.
Emotional maturity
Pitching emotional fits and tantrums isn’t even cute when children do it. Don’t pout, don’t whine and don’t pour sarcasm all over people. Everyone wants the person they love to have emotional stability, and stability comes from maturity.
Generosity
To give to others freely without any concern for yourself is a divinely lovely thing. It’s a trait that men admire because it is like the outward manifestation of a good heart and shows a lack of greed and selfishness—universally admirable traits.
