What Do Women Want in a Man? The Answers You Didn’t Expect
Imagine going to a cafe to read a book. You’re looking forward to enjoying your time since it’s been a stressful week.
Next thing you know, you’re eavesdropping on a conversation you couldn’t help but take an interest in.
A man who sounds frustrated turns to his friend and asks:
“Seriously, what do women want in a man? I feel like I’m getting nowhere with this chick!”
You find yourself intrigued by the question itself. Is it because you know the answer to it? Or because you don’t?
Don’t worry. There is enough data to support the notion that men are indeed frustrated and eager to learn about women’s wants and needs. This includes questions to ask a girl to get to know her, conversation starters, first date tips, and so on.
So let’s start with addressing the reasons why you can’t seem to find the answers to the age-old question: What do women want in a man?
Do You Have the Right Mindset?
There’s a lot of injustice in the idea that men think with their eyes–if they like what they see, they tend to develop a need to pursue it.
How much of that do you think is true?
Women have a habit of taking an interest in things they find attractive too, whether it be men or the latest trendy bag from Gucci. But women are also smart when it comes to understanding their wants and needs.
So in a nutshell, men are satisfied as long as their girlfriend or wife is hot, young, and sexy. If relationship problems pop up, they just sweep it under the rug. For all they know, they might not find someone as hot, young, and sexy again.
We’re here to debunk that stereotype. To do that, you need to adopt a mindset that will help you attract the woman that you want in your life.
Adopting such a mindset includes:
- Knowing what you’re looking for in a relationship.
This includes understanding what your deal breakers are–what you’re willing to tolerate and what you consider unacceptable in a relationship.
Also, don’t hesitate to set boundaries and stand firm on those boundaries.
Encourage your partner to do the same. This way, you can make room for compromise and foster an overall healthy bond.
- Learning to have meaningful conversations with women.
This is how you build connections. This is how you get to know someone and discover their innate qualities.
Most of all, this is how you assess your compatibility with someone. It will also help you to see how your potential partner communicates.
- Handling rejection like a man.
A lot of the time, rejection stings because we attach ourselves too much to the outcome. Instead, learn to embrace rejection as a path that will guide you to the person you’re meant to be with.
In the end, you will learn to build more confidence as you take rejection like a true gentleman. So even when you get rejected, smile and say thank you. More often than not, it will leave a lasting impression.
Do You Know How to Compliment a Girl?
Unfortunately, men can be clueless when it comes to giving and receiving compliments.
For instance, a guy who may not be used to getting compliments will interpret it as flirting or showing interest. Or, a guy who finds a girl extremely attractive wouldn’t think twice about calling her “pretty”, only to end up being called a creep.
It’s not just the choice of words you have to consider. You have to think about your timing and surroundings as well.
While giving compliments can be a good one-liner, it can also be a good conversation starter. So let’s do a little reverse physics. To learn how to compliment a woman, you must learn how to talk to her first.
How? You practice! Yes, it’s that simple.
Practice with female friends or colleagues. Ask for feedback and take mental notes of how they respond to certain jokes, pick-up lines, and of course, compliments.
The key here is to feel comfortable approaching women. With that, starting a conversation, let alone giving a compliment, should be a breeze.
Lastly, Are You Asking Yourself the Right Questions?
Will a girl be attracted to patience and chivalry?
What about when you’re thriving in life, do women notice when you level up?
These are questions with substance. When you understand the purpose of why you’re asking yourself these questions, it will be easier for you to filter out the women you don’t want to be with.
If you care too much about looking expensive, guess what, the first type of woman you’ll attract might just be a gold digger.
You want to have genuine intentions before you pursue a woman you’re interested in. You need to have standards!
Otherwise, you’ll end up banging your head against the wall and wondering why you ended up with the wrong one. Or why there are no good women left for you to date.
In other words, you need to date with intention.
So, What Do Women Want in a Man?
Have you ever wondered what makes a woman desire a man sexually?
What about what a woman looks for in a partner?
These are good questions to consider when pursuing a woman you like. Then again, you have to consider your own needs as well.
So, yes, it starts with you. Understanding your own needs and preferences will make it easier for you to attract the woman you want or need in your life.
The next time you ask yourself, “what do women want in a man?” shift your mindset to “what can I do to attract the right woman?”
With that, you’re saving yourself the trouble of dating for the sake of it or having to settle for fear that you won’t be able to find anyone else.
Being proactive about connecting with potential partners is just as important as knowing which connections are worth pursuing. In short, be mindful of the women you’re dating.
Even if she’s drop-dead gorgeous and everyone will envy you for it, at the end of the day, you’ll have to deal with all those red flags that you chose to ignore early on.
So be guided in your dating journey. Remember, don’t think with your eyes!
