What women want

[nittanyalum]

I agree that it's too hard to have a list since there's no accounting for everyone's characteristics or tastes. I'm game to take a shot, based on the 10 attributes you listed, but I cut it down to a "ranking" of 5 because I don't see how you can have anything without the top 3, and yes, like it or not, attraction has to be part of the equation so it's probably in everyone's top 2 or 3 (whether or not they admit to it). And everyone's definition of "romantic" is different, but any woman who has ideas of grandeur in that area and plans to "wait" for that perfect, rose-bearing, always-thinks-of-her-first and showers-her-with-gifts-and-kisses guy will be waiting a LONG time. That is an area a man can be "trained" in (at least to fake it ).


1. Honest, Faithful, Respectful
2. Sense of Humor, Attractive, Family Man
3. Communicative
4. Leader
5. Romantic

I would definitely eliminate the "provider" trait. I'm 42 and provide for myself just fine. I would replace it with "thoughtful". I'm not sure leadership is in my list either. I think "politically aware" would replace that one for me. I think it's too hard to put them in a specific order. They are all important. Intelligence would be on my list also.
