I was just wondering which one of the following is grammatically correct:
1 What do you look at in a man?
2 What do you look in a man?
I just cannot remember if the preposition at is needed or not.
Thanks a lot for your help,I'm trying to improve my English.

The preposition is necessary. If what you're trying to express is a question concerning the qualities one seeks in a man, I would suggest, "What do you look for in a man."
To look at something is to focus your vision on that object. To look for something is to attempt to find that object.

Neither. The question should be What do you look for in a man?
