Every woman has a laundry list of attributes they desire in a mate. It could be his height, skin tone, shoe size or perhaps, the way he fits into a suit. However, there are additional traits a woman looks for aside from the physical and these are enticing because they focus on a man’s interior. Here are 10 desirable qualities that women look for in a man:


Dependability. Men don’t usually have an issue making commitments to a woman — the issue is usually with the follow-through. Women want a man who’ll keep a promise and stay true to his word, even if it’s something as simple as dinner plans. Don’t simply ditch her the first time one of your boys wants to make plans on a night you’d made plans with her first.


Passionate. Be passionate about her completely. Show interest in her, not just sexually, but emotionally (as well). Take an interest in the things that make her tick – from her hobbies, career, or life goals.

Faithful.  In a world where cheating has become much easier — staying faithful can feel like a 24-hour job, even in the most devoted individual. Most women enter into a relationship with the intent of being in it for the long haul. They want to know that their partner is making the same commitment. Prove from the start that you’re faithfully committed. So be conscious of that wandering eye in public and don’t start exchanging flirtatious text messages with your old flames — and she’ll do the same.


Confidence. Being confident is crucial. A man whot is secure in his own skin makes a woman feel secure. This involves not only the way you treat others, but the way you carry yourself in public and in private. A confident man can handle unfamiliar situations with ease and assurance. Confidence is a great trait to have for any man. It’s an inner strength that’s seen and envied by anyone you meet. A confident man is more attractive to women because he believes in himself and his abilities.

Good grooming. Dress well and look good no matter where you are. You never know when you’re going to bump into the woman of your dreams. Groom yourself with quality products and colognes that smell great on you.

Good sense of humor. It takes less than a minute for a woman to know if a guy has a good sense of humor while having conversations with him. All women know that a guy with a great sense of humor can be a lot of fun during dates or phone calls. Have a light hearted and fun approach towards life and try to look at the bright side all the time.

Generosity. There are two types of generosity and both are incredibly desirable to the opposite sex. The first is being generous with possessions — donating gifts or money to charities or those less fortunate. The second is being generous with time — spending time with that special woman in your life.

Kindness. Kindness is an important and desirable quality which many men (sadly lack). This is based on the belief that to make it in this world, a man needs to have a tough exterior and killer instincts. Kindness is consistently ranked as one of the best and sexiest qualities that a man can have. A man who treats you right and is nice to other people and gives back to his community is truly a good catch.

Not a pushover. A guy who’s a pushover is one of the worst kinds of men in the hierarchy of dating. A pushover is a guy who prefers to accept defeat just to avoid conflict with someone who’s dominating him. Don’t ever be taken for granted by anyone, but instead have a backbone.

There may be many things that women look for, but these nine qualities will help those single men to make a happy impression that’ll make her fall for you in no time.
