Life Plan For Love: What Women Want in a Man!

It’s no secret what women want; they want a man who knows what a woman wants. And, they don’t want to have to tell him. But just to clarify, here’s what women want.

1. Attentiveness.
Women want to feel special. They want to know a man is paying attention to her. He remembers what she says, remembers important dates, and thinks she’s wildly, wonderfully different from any other woman.
2. Women want a strong emotional connection.
Women want deep emotional intimacy with a man. This intimacy is special, unlike any other intimacy she has, with her family or her girlfriends. She wants to be open and vulnerable with a man and know he gets her and supports her. The man doesn’t need to be emotional, but he needs to be able to connect with her in an emotional way.

3. Women want physical attention.
Women want good sex. They also want to hold hands, to be kissed for no reason, and to cuddle. Women want to feel beautiful, sexy, and cherished. They don’t want to feel like a vehicle for a man’s sexual pleasure, so it’s important to show physical affection when it’s not going to lead to sex.

4. Women want confidence.
Women don’t like arrogance. They don’t want a man who swaggers and boasts and spouts his accomplishments. They do want a man who can take care of himself, who can hold his own with other men, and who won’t crumple or turn bitter offered some constructive criticism.
5. Women want success.
Not every woman wants a man who drives a sports car. Most women do want a man who can decide what he wants and does it. If that means making a lot of money, that’s fine. If that means devoting your life to vanquishing AIDS in Africa, that’s fine, too. What’s important is that you’re the kind of man who does what he sets out to do. A man needs to show drive and initiative—with a woman and with other areas of his life.

6. Women want respect.
A woman wants to be respected by a man. She wants to know her ideas and values are important to him. She wants him to treat her well in front of other people and when alone. She also wants to be able to respect her man.

7. Women want kindness.
Women want a man with enough initiative to sweep her off her feet, but they also want a man who is sweet, gentle and kind. Women like men who show them and others consideration and thoughtfulness.

8. Women want love.
Women want to be loved. They want to be a man’s only woman, someone who can satisfy him, someone who endlessly fascinates him. They want a man who lets her know he loves her—over and over and over again, as if he’s never told her before.

Women can seem mysterious, but really they’re not. They want to be loved, and they want a man worth loving.
