We are different, one woman will want a man who makes her laugh and will always be there for her another will want a man who is Mr. Gorgeous even if he drinks like a fish and beats her every other night for not having food on the table when he gets home drunk at 4am.

But basically, the majority of women, me inclusive, want a man who will love her for who she is, respect her, respect her views, adore her, make time for her, be there to hold her when she is down and not compare her to his mother.

Do you qualify?

Candidness and sincerity, as well as a really good sense of humor. Looks might get a man in the door, but if he's fake, it soon shows, and a man without a sense of humor hasn't got a chance in my book. Also, a healthy sense of responsibility is desirable, but this sort of comes under the heading of "sincerity," since it indicates a clear view of what is necessary to maintain a good relationship. Oh yes, he has to have at least half a brain, and he has to be willing and able to use it in an upright manner. This ups the chance that he won't be ruled by testosterone alone.

P.S. I've noticed that what men "think" women want is not in fact what the women I know want, nor is it what I want. Integrity over all is what I value. No man should change his basic nature to accommodate a woman, but a man without the ability to commit to a promise he himself makes has no business going home with the prize. I value honesty and strength based on values and not ego, and I do not engage in silly "tests."

Women expect everything in a man.A man should be like moon of the earth.He should be financially and mentally sound.He should have fiedelity.He should be loveable.He should be sexy and can satisfy his woman.He should be generous and frank but intelligent and cannot be deceived by anybody.
Above all a man should be a Complete Man.

My opinion on this is what I look for in a man.....

I love it when a man gets that he is whole and perfect just as he is that he knows he is enough and that there is nothing he has to do or prove to receive my love. (which is everyone by the way)

When a man is aware of his own perfect self then the woman can receive all the gifts he has to offer and he can give freely without fear - to know he is appreciated for just being exactly who he is moment to moment without expectation.

I hope this helps - JUST BE WHO YOU ARE (which is what you are being when you drop all the shitty thoughts you have about yourself - which are all untrue if you have a close look!)

:-))

We women want to rule the world! We are so sick and tired of being put down, degraded, and thought of as slaves to ignorant men!
We expect all men to bow down, kiss our feet and be OUR slaves for once!!

(Just kidding, really...but it did sound good for the moment!)

Us women want equality and all that applies.

According to the legend of King Arthur, Sir Gawain spent a year searching for the answer to that question. The answer he came up with was "Women want to have their way."

What do women expect in a man? CARDINAL RULE: DON'T listen to answers from women on this one. They say one thing and want another. Women CLAIM they want a man who is sensitive, not selfish, not demanding, easy-going, and accommodating. THAT'S A LIE. When women find a man like this they label him as a wimp, pansy, eunuch, gurly-mon, take your pick. They will use and abuse these "nice" guys because they have no respect for them. It's the things that women complain about the most -- our competitive nature, our high-and-mighty attitudes, our independent nature, and our intolerance for female crap that attracts them to us.

Women SAY they don't like men who are aggressive, but they will deliberately test us to see if we get jealous and they absolutely DO expect us to come to their defense if needed. Women SAY they don't like c0cky men, yet the swinging-d!ck @$$holes always seem to have a date while the more modest and reserved guys are the ones who seem to be constantly looking. Women SAY they don't like guys who are independent and are looking for someone who will commit, but again they will deliberately test us to see if we'll drop everything at a moment's notice to do whatever they want us to do (and it's the guys who drop everything that get that wimp label). Women SAY they don't like guys who aren't willing to change for them and want men who are more flexible and accommodating, but again, they will deliberately test us to see if we'll knuckle under and do things their way (and they learn very quickly which men they can wrap around their little fingers -- pansies -- and which ones they cant -- boyfriend/husband material).

Want a perfect picture? Think back to all the fairy tales about the damsel in distress being rescued by the knight in shining armor. THAT is what women want in a man. Yes, it sounds so very old-fashioned and so very counter-intuitive in this age of modern women, but it's the absolute truth. Despite the advance of feminism and all the changes brought on by more females in the workplace, women STILL expect a man to be a man. So don't adjust anything about you in an attempt to make women like you. Go back to basics: Be strong, be confident, hold your head high, don't be afraid to talk to ANY woman, be competitive, be tough, live your life on your own terms, and don't ever apologize for who and what you are. Not every woman is going to like you, so don't take it personally. The important thing is that a woman should like you for who and what you REALLY are, not some part you play to get women to like you. Be true to yourself and have the attitude that you don't need a woman, but you'll make room in your life for the right woman.

Normally we just want someone that is nice to use. Pays use a compliment when we deserve it. (which is always) someone that is not afraid to show some emotions. And most women want admit to this, but alot of us want a man that can have GOOD SEX, not to rough but takes control. Women love attention, and we like it when men talk to us ( you can be a little nasty) be in touch with your sexual side. Make it all about me.

They want an asshole. If you're a woman and you disagree, think about how people, in general, are completely out of touch about the things they really want. Think about people who win the lottery and end up miserable. Women want a man who will put them in their place.

Some women realize this, too often too late. Once this little fact is out of the way, that urge can be suppressed and the search for good men can begin, but if you're a man and want to impress the ladies, treat them like crap.

Hey, good one Peg!

I think she may have a point but maybe not that extreme but I guess it's secretly thought of by many women.

Women want support and genuine companionship. It seems so simple, but we define support and companionship in different languages, I think.
