What men look for in a woman

Last week, I focused on what women look for in a man. So, of course, I had to share what men look for in a good woman this week. Even though a woman’s physical attributes are the first thing they notice, but when it comes to settling down, men look at more than just your full lips, breasts or buttocks. Below, please find nine things men like in a woman that are nonphysical, that probably made him fall head over heels for you (without you even knowing)!


– A good cook. I can’t say this enough and we all know … the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Men love women who can cook and don’t mind or those who are willing to learn how to cook for them. If you need extra help on this topic, please pick up a copy of my book “How to Get a Man…From the Kitchen, to the Bedroom, to the Ring!”


– A woman who takes care of herself. Taking good care of yourself shows him that you’ll take care of him, as well. They love when we take the time to attend to our grooming (hair, manicure, pedicure, facial, waxing, etc.), as they are the ones who enjoy all these benefits.

– A strong woman.  He has to know that you are his backbone and his rock — definitely a woman that he can depend on.


– Comfortable in your own skin. Being glamorous is fine, but that doesn’t mean that you have to wear makeup all the time. You’ve probably heard a man say, “you don’t have to wear all that makeup, or “you’re beautiful without it.” Men love to see a woman who is confident in herself, and 100 percent natural as well.

– Maternal instincts. Men love a woman that has the ability to take care of him and in turn, he will take care of her. And, they want to be assured that the woman they choose is going to take the best possible care of their children.

– Caring.  A man really wants to know that you care for him. They love being babied when they are sick, and appreciate when you listen to him talk about his day at the office or the problems that he may be having with a family member or colleague.

– A good sense of humor. Just as women love a man with a good sense of humor; men also enjoy a woman with a good sense of humor. They appreciate when we’re able to find the positive or maybe even the funny side of something negative or perhaps, an unhappy experience.

– Feeling positive. It’s not about being Miss America or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, but it’s about you being happy as the person that you are. You should be positive and know that you are a great woman who is deserving of great things.

– A good listener. Most men appreciate women who are good listeners … just sit back and listen, without interrupting him. This also includes some patience, as some men need to process their problems before they are able to talk about them. Having the ability to listen and really hear what he has to say, shows that you are supportive.
