What do men seek in woman?

this thread is amazing, it almost make me want to become a member and post a personal ad ...nice guys here!!

I made my point!
If you are not versed enough in the topic, do not ask me, but to whence my point comes.

I was the June Cleaver in a bikini. Like the poster described a few posts before me.... stayed home, raised great kids, took care of the house, cooked, cleaned, etc. After 17 years of marriage he dumped me for a woman who treats him like dirt. Go figure. My dating experiences of the last 6 years are laughable (now). I have decided to give up dating and remain single. This is a very interesting thread. Maybe I can gain a little insight into the male mind too. C:

I am pretty old fashioned I guess, I just want a woman who is honest and loves me. I mean, she has to have self-respect, intelligence, kindness, a certain independence, but also dependence(difficult to describe quickly, lol), ambition, fun, healthy, etc...

oh, and nice smile and eyes!

right thats it... im definitely joining glp and putting up a personals ad :D

I'm looking for someone that will be my best friend to share life with, have wild sex occasionally, but more important, help make the drudgery of life to be tolerable, if not a bit of fun each day.
I married young and had that, but a car wreck ended it and now I can't find anyone in the same ball park as what I'm looking for. To me women have changed and I don't like the changes. Some of the issues I have.
Women let themselves go and are fat on slobs (it never was that way before, most had pride.)
They view themselves as queens, but offer not much in return.
Women seem obsessed with money, I have plenty, but their constant attention to my money is a huge turn off.
Women have become very slutty, I'm looking for a life partner not some one that sleeps with every guy and yes I live the same way.
Women have changed so much that I have really just stopped looking. My values seem to clash with what modern women are.

Was I that lucky with my first wife or has society changed that much?

Lets see how this will sink in here:

The Duties of
Husbands & Wives

[link to www.eternallifeministries.org]

It is the dumbed down and troubled society with women being more sensitive and more prone to become dumb, by the minute. They have lost their conscious feeling of love and god, what is left is just some glimpses here and there with a lot of unconsciouss behaviour hence why they tend to suffer a lot. They don't know what they want, it shows they are not in contact with themselves, with their real self.

Your dad just got unlucky with a filipino wife. What did he expect when he married a women I imagine is half his age anyhow.

Actually, she is only 2 years younger than him.

BANG ON ! twin soul or twin flame

What your talking about is what assholes want.

Men's wants are really quite simple. They want someone they can trust who trusts them. They want someone who doesn't bitch about the little things. Someone who listens to their ideas without mocking them.

And someone who'll back them up 100%.

Believe it or not most men have the best of intentions. They might not always say it or do it right, but their hearts in the right place.

What a crazy assumption. But the generalization made in the other post is just as bad.

Submissive, sensual, can make a damned fine sandwich.

That's not June Cleaver, thats her sister...
Miss July Cleaver.

1. Attractiveness. You don't have to be a super model or a figure model; but I don't spend 4 days a week at the gym trying to look good for you while you sit on the couch. Being able to exercise together is important.

2. Smart. I expect you to have your own opinion and beliefs and be able to back them up and defend them because I sure as hell have my own and can do the same. I NEED intelligent conversation and I expect you to be able to provide that.

3. Educated. It doesn't matter so much where you were educated or to what level; but that whether you were self-taught or educated at a University you know at least a little bit about everything. I don't want to talk about celebrities and the royal family with you. I want to talk about things that matter. Like sociology, philosophy, history and world events. Couldn't afford college? Well, spend some time on Wikipedia and you can get a 40,000 education for free.

4. Understanding. If you can't understand what I have been through and how that has shaped me, we aren't going to get along too well. I will provide the same to you as well. We might not have to same experiences in life but if we are going to share our lives together, it's going to be pretty important.

5. Career. 7-11 isn't a career. Nor is stay at home mom in my opinion (I might get some flack for that one). I expect you to at least work a job that pays decent or at least one that you love and helps pay some bills. Having a family one one income just isn't a realistic expectation anymore in America.

6. Fun. You should be able to laugh and smile and enjoy my affection. I want to be able to flirt with you and I want you to flirt with me. I hope that you like aimless drives and trips for no reason. I should feel like I am hanging out with a friend when we spend time together.

I could write at least four more points. Although the first six at least makes you first date material.

trustworthy

cuddly

affectionate

responsible (this is a big one, and be on time)

Likes kids and the idea of being a mother

capable of keeping herself fit, and doing her share of the housework, or all the housework if she stays at home and I bring in the money (not lazy basically)... may or may not want to exercise with me (jogging or whatever) .. if I was a stay at home father, I would happily do all of the housework, and then some. Working for a living sucks.

Not obsessed with an expensive house or new vehicles all the time. I've owned my car for 12 years now. I'm pretty easy to please. I'd likely be as loyal to my woman. I pull in 50k, but the less money spent on material crap, the more time we have to spend with each other.

She has to be fit. Overweight ladies are sweethearts, but I can't fall in love with someone with weight issues. I'm incapable. Sorry.

Women often complain that guys simply don't do the little things for them, don't appreciate them, or take advantage of them. There would be no problem with this aspect with me, I shower my women with appreciation, without being 'clingy'

However I would be 'boring' to a number of modern women, especially under the age of 30. I'm not much into partying all the time. I suppose I could adapt somewhat, but I don't really drink. I'm no pushover and know what I want. I'm perfectly happy playing the 'father' role and taking the kids camping and the like, with an equally dedicated female by my side not obsessed with constant partying of course.

If she does not make me giggle, laugh, cry, smile, think or a sammich
I am so not there for her.

1. Fix him a sandwich when he wants one.
2. Give him a blow job.

That's pretty much all a man wants.

well said

When you speak a lie you speak about yourself.

Crotchel region.

OP is right, im married with a beautiful woman but she has some loosen screws and makes me become even more crazy too, sometimes she makes things that i cant believe after 10 years of marriage happens. Good part is shes a pretty good bitch and will do everything i ask for, more recently shes developing a taste for my semen, something i become fetiched with basically this year. I eat lots of citrus, papaya, etc to have "nice" tasting cum. Im well endowed and she likes my cock. i trim my pubic hair and im slim, she hates big abdomens.

In a nutshell, 90% men looking for a woman wants one that is a bitch in the bed but a Ms. in public view.

A guy with tits, a vag and a pretty face/nice bod.

Dude, you and your country sound awesome!

Huge factor often not dicussed:

Women must not be hairy!

No mustaches, no gorilla arm hair, and MOST OF ALL no BUTT HAIR! That is no black coarse hairs or 5 oclock shadows near your bikini region.

Men dont wanna bang truckers!

My God there are a lot of relationship threads on GLP today!

When I ask my husband why he married me, he said that he could wake up to my face every morning. He loved that I exercise, eat healthy, cook healthy foods, keep a clean house.

I've realized that he married me for all superficial reasons. When we fight, it's explosive. I believe that this is because he truly does not respect my opinions. All that he wanted was a trophy wife, and when he realized that I wanted to go out and work, that I didn't want to have more kids, that I had an opinion in how our home operated, then he checked out.

He won't honor a divorce, but I'm still leaving him when I graduate in May.

Men don't know what they want. They say they want personality, but try gaining 50 lbs and see how long they stay. They say they don't care about looks; try not fixing yourself up for a week or so and see how long it takes them not to say something.

I almost think arranged marriages are better, as then you have no expectations to be let down.

I know you asked for a man's perspective, my marriage is ending and I thought I would throw my two cents in.

A Vagina

lmao...haha...yes. This.

Thanks for your honesty.
