The question is what do women really want? The answer is a complete package. What is in a complete package?

Qualities that a women look for in men: Ambitious, strong and assertive

An ambitious man is a successful man because he is striving for the best no matter what his goal are? Strength does not necessitate muscles but inner strength. He is able to reach inside, draw from that strength when it is needed and share it if the need arises. He goes after what he wants without stepping on feet or toes but maneuvers around them.

Responsible

He knows his responsibilities and owns up to them, whether it is family, work, and commitments. A man recognizes that mistakes are a part of life. He admits to them doesn’t blame others or make excuses for his inconsistencies. He learns from them and acts accordingly.

Understanding

Recognizes that no one is perfect, including himself, encourages communication efforts to resolve important issues. Realizes the final say does not have to go one way (especially his way) or another, but knows that a compromise is always a possibility.

In tune to himself

He has self-awareness spiritually and mentally. He loves self, takes care of himself but is able to love others as well. He can hold a decent conversation with anyone and he knows how to express himself in any given conversation. He is respected by others and recognizes that in order to get respect, you have to give it. He can accept constructive criticism without taking it personally and recognizes that opinion is individual and each is entitled to his or hers.

Compassion

He is unselfish and caring of others around him. He is neither self-centered not egotistical. He thinks of others, and the feelings of others. Men are told from day one that men are not supposed to cry because it is a display weakness. Crying makes them human and it has nothing to do with strength. It has to do with feeling. The lack of fear in showing true feelings constitutes strength and courage.

Relationship and Love

- He is caring giving, honest, loyal and respects the lady in his life.

- He is willing to work things out together.

- He respects his mate as his other half.\

- He knows that sharing is essential, good bad whatever.

- The word commitment is not taken lightly and he doesn’t make one unless he is sure that is what he wants to do. He will be the first to admit it.

- The woman in his life is there to support and encourage. He appreciates it and shows it.

- Women love compliments, doors opened and chairs pulled out for us.

- A little pampering does a body good. For example: a little massage after a tiring day.

- He recognizes that politeness is not dead. He is a gentleman. He does not take for granted he is loved. He expresses it and let his woman know that he loves her as well.

- Love is appreciated and not taken lightly. The work needed to maintain a relationship is done willingly and cooperatively.

- The man you met is the man that should always be. Whether he changes or not can depend on you, but that’s another story…hummm.

A woman’s definition of man encompasses many definitions. Each woman has her own. Certainly this is not the end of the list, but it is a start. Some might say this is stupid and unrealistic – may be because I am a man and not a woman so how should I know about them with that much concrete way. I say that there is no perfection in anyone. To expect perfection, that is unrealistic but for someone to be human, loving, caring is very close.
