I have a theory regarding what women are attracted to in a man, do you agree or disagree?

Question

Power, Personality, Looks.

I believe through my own observations, that those are the three qualities that women look for in a man.

Some men excel at one or the other, while most men have a combination of the three, and there are an unfortunate few who have neither of those qualities.

Power in the sense of whether they have the financial resources and social status to provide for their family.

Personality in the sense that the individual is easy to get along with, making the relationship more pleasant.

Looks....well pretty much self explanotory. Carnal pleasure and what not are satisfied.

Of the three which do you think is the most important?

I would say that initially looks win hands down, but in the long run power trumps them all.

Any other character traits that I'm missing?

Answer 1

Well I think for a majority of people you are right on for all three...however...I truly go for personality first. I met my boyfriend while watching some hotties stunt it up on motorcycles...he was sittin on the side watchin with me. He made me smile and laugh the whole time and I was immediately attracted to him. He is 6' tall and 315lbs. He is a large guy all the way around and my friends would say jus by looks he's "not my type" but they'd be wrong. After I fell in love with his personality i found out how much power ($) he had and that only added to my feelings and to me he is the most handsome man in the world because I love him. a person is only as good looking as you want them to be.

Answer 2

You are completely wrong, then again you could be dating some greedy superficial women.
1. I don't give a rat's behind if the guy is rich. I can work and make my own money, I don't need yours so you can think you own me.
2. Personality, I'll agree with, but not your take on it. I want someone who can laugh at himself, be supportive and compassionate, be always on my side - and yet remain his own person.
3. Looks. When I was 13 I liked boys for their looks. I grew out of that. Excessively good-looking men are vain, shallow and self-centered. Or they believe they're God's gift to women and become 'players.'
And honey, you are so naive... There is ABSOLUTELY NO CORELATION BETWEEN LOOKS AND 'CARNAL PLEASURE'. A guy could look like Adonis and be done in 2 minutes. Not to mention they expect you to worship their body just because it looks like a Greek statue. If I wanted something to look at I'd get the statue. That's not what life is about.
I'll take an unselfish, communicative, caring lover over that any time.

Answer 3

Well, for me, PERSONALITY is very important. Then POWER. Looks doesn't matter, people grow old... would you still look good if you are 90? Hell, I don't think so. *giggle*

I don't really care if you are rich or powerful. I just want (in) a man who can stand my whims and mood swings and who can make me feel loved and cherished. As for money, if you can make a decent living that is enough to support a wife and 2-3 kids, its fine... that is if that guy has any plans on marrying me and raising 2-3 kids of our own. Haha!

To tell you honestly, most girls would prefer POWER. Some of them are too practical nowadays, yah know. But some of us female creatures still believe in true love (Ahem!)

Hope you finally have that great answer you're looking for. (",)

Answer 4

I believe most women like personality(good emotions, intelligent, responsible and so on.), looks is just a bonus unfortunately. I heard 80% of women go for personality and 20% go for looks. Power would apply to the ones who just straight out mainly care about the money, and not a real loving relationship.

Personality triumps them all though. Why else do we see the ugly dudes with the hot chicks?!?! lol

Answer 5

Looks fades in time. But you forgot to mention that men must have the Brains that goes along with power and personality. Coz' at the end of the day you'll like to be with someone you can carry a decent conversation with and makes you laugh.

Answer 6

Definitely personality - and a great sense of humor. A guy who is witty and can make me laugh...or just smile and feel good about life and who has a positive outlook is a real keeper. Sometimes, even if he's not the hottest guy on the block, if he's smart (another important attribute - which often accompanies power) and funny he may still be extremely sexy.

Answer 7

Height. But that goes along with looks. Most women like a guy who is taller than them because they have a sense of security... and are less self-conscious.

Definitly power and brains. If a guy has looks but is dumb to boot, where is the security in that?! So yes I would have to agree that power wins in the long run, but shorter terms, women like arm candies.

Answer 8

I'll go with the personality and looks but power never interested me, i guess some women do look for that trait in a man. But you were quite spot on...Good observation!

Answer 9

Well for something that'll last, I'll have to go with personality, cause no matter how good looking or how much power you have, a jacked up character would have em' runnin' for the hills

Answer 10

That sounds reasonable, although I always prioritize personality over the other two. I don't care about the kind of power that you're describing. I can provide for myself.
