These are reasons why I wanted my husband:
He gave me something I did not have, nothing material ofcourse. He gave me insight, and knowledge, and love.
He was willing to listen to me, and hang on my every word (for a while at least, now I have to stand in front of him, hehe).
He fulfilled my needs, and was sensitive to what I wanted.
He is hardworking.

I wasn't necessarily looking for these exact traits at first.

To be completely honest with you, I wanted the tall, dark, handsome and rich guy as well...when I was 16. After growing up a little I married a tall, light haired, handsome, man with a great sense of humor, and a wealth of knowledge, and lots of patience, and no money, lol. I was willing to give up the dark and rich for love, as I imagine many woman are.

I guess what I'm trying to say is being "Tall, dark, handsome, rich with a good sense of humour" fulfills some wants, but some women need companionship, with someone who they can trust with their heart, soul, and life in general.

Some women want kids, so you might have to fulfill the role of being a daddy some day. Some women want power, so you might have to find yourself in a powerful position one day...I can go on all day about what some women want.

I read your question first as What women want in men, then I realized it might have meant What do women want in men. The first question, I tried to answer above, the second question I will attempt to answer below.

I absolutely hate it when people generalize 'Why are women like that, why are men like that'. Each and every man and woman is different, therefore their wants and needs are different. There isn't one thing that all men want or one thing that all women want. Wants also change in the course of a life time.

I thought I 'wanted' a tall, dark, and handsome man as well, but he was a jerk. So I allowed myself to be more open, and found myself a tall, light haired, handsome man, who turned out to be the love of my life.

You have to treat each and every individual (a little) differently. So find a woman, see if you like what she does, see if she likes what you do. Go from there.

Well since all the ladies are giving their view points on what they want in a man I guess I will share mine as well!

Tops things I look for in a man are:
~Intelligence - if you can't stimulate me intellectually then we may have a slight problem..I crave knowledge and debate.

~Humor - I want a man who can put a smile on my face even in my darkest day. I'm not saying be a totally goof ball, know when to be serious but also know when to take a joke and know when to make one. To me laughter/humor cures negative feelings i.e. being upset, depressed, lonely and so on.

~Don't be a lazy bum! - I don't care about money, yes it's nice but I'm not a gold digger. If you have a job not matter what it is, and you work hard every day then great! I want a hard working man not some bum who calls in sick because he rented a new video game and it's more important!

Some other traits that are appealing are: creativity, independence, sense of adventure, open to travel, open to try new things and of course faithful!

This is just my opinion. I don't agree that all women want is money. I won't lie it's nice to be with someone who makes bank but if they don't that's okay. I don't know about other females but if I'm with someone it's because I'm interested in them, not how fat their wallet is, how expensive their car is and if they are good looking. All that is just a plus, true love doesn't include money, looks and nice things, at least not in my opinion!

As a woman, I admire a man who is tall, not necessarily dark, stable (not necessarily rich), responsible and handsome, lol. Sense of humor is a bonus but I'd prefer the one who is physically attractive and who knows what he wants. Honestly, it's hard to love someone if you're not attracted to him at first. My friends would joke it that they would prefer a beautiful woman because when she changes her attitude, she's still beautiful physically but if you choose a good but ugly one, if she changes her attitude then she'll be all ugly, lol.

I think it changes as you mature. When I was a teenager, I wanted the tall, dark and handsome stereotype (or a blonde version), but I'd been raised well enough to know that money isn't everything, and kindness counts for a lot. My mom had also told me she looked for someone who had good rapport with kids and liked kids.

A little older, and I can add someone who has dealt with the ghosts in his past. You really don't want someone who equates something you like to do with the same thing in his sister, with whom he's had serious problems, and transfer that to you because he's too undeveloped to understand his feelings. Being personally, emotionally mature is of prime importance, with a minimum threshold of civility, respect, and ability to respect interpersonal differences and growth.

I wanted someone who is creative and works hard; someone willing to think outside the box. I didn't want someone just satisfied with status quo who might not be able to deal when life gets rough.

Good sense of humor is a must: not just cracking jokes (particularly bad ones), but someone who's able to see the inherent humor in things. This goes along with a positive outlook.

That he'd have to have brains and share some interests with me is a given. After the initial hormonal flush, there would have to be something to create interest.

And when you're talking about reproducing with someone, yes, a good body is a good thing. Not just for you, but for your potential kids. I married an excellent athlete; my kids are all in very good shape themselves.

At the bottom of my list was blonde and blue-eyed. He was blonde as a kid, so that counts. And two of our kids are.

These are the most wanted men for women. As a woman I can attest that this is true based on experience for I found these three qualities in my boyfriend who eventually became my husband.

1. A romantic man who constantly surprise the girl. Not only with flowers and chocolate and lighting candles but just a simple call in an unexpected time is already a great way to let the girl know the man is thinking of her and this makes the man attractive. A romantic guy is irresistible because the woman will feel appreciated.

2. A confident man is also attractive because he is totally secure and sure of himself . A woman will feel that he has someone who is responsible for he asserts himself in public and gives off an aura of power and control. The confident man who doesn't seek approval from women makes him even more irresistible.

3. The artistic guy is also attractive to women because every woman want to feel unique and special. When a man makes the woman a source of inspiration by using his creativity such as song that he has written about her, a painting then she will feel intrigued and feel utterly special for the way he integrate and incorporate her into his art.

4. The Foreign Guy
5. The Free Spirit Guy (aka the Bad Boy)
6. The Intelligent/Witty Guy
7. The Considerate Guy

Read the details at the source.

As a woman I can attest that this is not always true. Flowers, chocolate, candles? Flowers?, allergies anyone?, my cat would destroy them anyways. Chocolate?, lots of calories. Candles?, they're ok. hehe, so long as you don't have an over active nose.

"The confident man who doesn't seek approval from women makes him even more irresistible.", really? This one made me laugh. So if your husband were to go and buy a $50K car, that you cannot afford, and not ask your approval, this would make you attracted to him? OR, he thinks it's a good idea to have another woman, in the middle of your relationship, and he doesn't ask for your approval, even though he knows you wouldn't want it. Is that ok? OR, he decides he needs a vacation, and takes the money you saved up for groceries, and spends it on his vacation. OK with you? Ha! I think not.

I got a chuckle out of your source. Funny how the site you sources is from askmen.com.

Hmm..what do women want in men. That's been asked and answered countless times, but the one universal answer is this:

Honeslty there is no answer to this question.

Me, being a guy with a great sense of humor, easy to get along with, and very passionate, can say that there is not an answer. Cause honestly, Im not that attractive of a guy, and I have a bunch of friends who are really good people. But again, not that attractive, so most women never give them a chance.

Not talking bad on women, just saying this Is a question that cannot be answered.

Also, it is a personal opinion of any woman what she wants in a man.

It cannot be defined to one best answer.

I believe they want a man who knows what they want. In short these:

Romance - since women have a thing for it
Communication - since women love to talk
Care - since they like to be cared for
Loyalty - Of course, does it even need a mention?
Understanding that shopping is an okay act - because they are shopaholics

A good sense of humor is definitely a plus and probably the most important of all the features you mentioned. Looks can fade and money can disappear, a partner's character is what matters most.

Jill,

I voted you down on this - soryy !

As a man, I know that the world is FULL of men with a great sense of humor, who do not get to meet women. Why ? Because most women will give first preference to the tall, dark, handsome and wealthy men who treat them like dirt!

Yeah, unfortunately that is true and I feel sorry for them. I guess I'm not like most women.
