Now it’s time to get down to business, people: what women want out of us men. Now, before I proceed let me assure you that I am by no means the ideal male figure, and half of the women I approach probably consider me to be out of their league. Yea I may have sacrificed a portion of my own credibility with that bold statement, but hey, accepting the truth in life is the first step to becoming a worthy man.
My point was–before I digress too far–that after so many rejections, I slowly but surely understood what I may have been lacking, and have effectively noticed a jump in my success rate after applying a number of different tactics.
With the notion that women lose most of their IQ upon setting their sites on a man with huge muscles, I tried the gym, but recognized that alone isn’t what reels in the ladies, as it is often times seen as nothing more than a novelty to them (most of them, that is) and a confidence booster to us.
I tried upgrading the wardrobe to contribute points to my level of my personal “swag” but recognized that the man is supposed to wear the clothes, rather than the clothes wearing the man. I tried various other ‘enhancements’, as well, before realizing that what women want is a reasonable combination of admirable traits. What are these traits you ask? Well, I’m no expert, but here are the five traits that I’ve come to the consensus are the most valuable in our gender.
#1) Confidence
Confidence in a way that doesn’t come off as too boorish is often time seen as the sexiest trait a man can display. You can be overweight, receding hairline, and 5 foot 2 inches tall, but if you are always smiling, volunteering and taking firm initiative you will undoubtedly catch more glances than the average guy who stands around idle with his hands in his pockets.
The fact is, a confident person is a more desirable person to be around. Often times they are funny (humor being a great attribute for any person regardless of gender), charismatic, and more likely to be independent.
#2) Success
If you’re driving a 2014, have a home big enough to house a flock of orphans, and have suite tailored by the finest tailor in the city, then women will naturally gravitate within your orbit, looking to attach to you like a remora fish heading for a shark. The obvious term for these types of women are “gold diggers” but not all woman who seek a successful man fit this category.
It is a desirable trait to even those genuine hearted gals who cherish love over money. Success means you are capable of providing–food, shelter, water and anything extra that she may want to get her hands on.
This trait dates back to the stone ages, as only the men who returned to the caves with the saber tooth tiger sprawled over his shoulders were allowed first mate. And guess what? Things haven’t changed one bit.
The only difference is that saber tooth tiger (or buffalo, mammoth, any other form of advanced ancient nourishment) has evolved into the form of green paper with a dead man’s head on it. The more successful you are, the higher quality woman you get, bottom line. And this is coming from a guy who’s only budding in his career.
#3) Looks
A trait that us men have more leeway with than women. Even if you aren’t the shiniest tool in the shed, that fact can be concealed by a person who is successful and confident. Ever see those ridiculously gorgeous women with men who are twice their age, or half their height? Yea, that’s the result of their bank account. As stated above, women tend to see good looks as more of a bonus rather than a clincher.
Looks matter, yes, but women are the ones who are seen as the billboards. A man who has the face of Brad Pitt, but the bank account of that homeless guy outside of your local target might attract a few initial glances, but would be unlikely to reel in the girls who tip the 10 scale.
But on the other hand if you do happen to have good looks, height, a fit body, strong jawline, ect.–as well as success, and confidence, too–then you will likely find yourself at the top of the food chain when seeking a partner. But hey, I’m no expert…
#4) Dependability
All women, regardless of background want a man that they can confide in and look to when the world has shaken them to the core. Has she gotten in an argument with her roommate or parents and need a place to stay? Has she gotten fired from her job in favor of that wild blonde chick who was willing to go the “extra mile” to beat out the competition? Is she depressed about her best friend’s sudden cancer diagnosis?
Well, if you answered yes to at least one of those questions, then you better believe the first person she’s going to turn to for comfort is going to be her night and shining armor. And those who are unable to live up to the task will often be superseded by someone who is able to bring the comfort to the table.
#5) Resilience
Being able to withstand whatever curve balls life may throw in your direction is perhaps the most admirable trait in a man. Keeping your stoicism in the face of danger or unfortunate mishaps and handling the situation in a calm, collective manner is something that defines somebody with each of the aforementioned traits listed above.
If a guy suddenly approaches you with ill intentions while you’re walking hand-to-hand down the street, the future of your relationship will often be dictated by your thoughtless, momentary response. So if need be, perhaps take up a martial art. No matter how much money you have, how handsome you are, or how funny you happen to be, if she sees you get your ass kicked in a square, one-on-one fight, then you better believe she’s going to look at you a lot differently.
