Things Men Like In Women More Than Looks

Most women have a massive misconception about men. They think that what men want in women is just one thing and that is good looks. But actually, there are aspects of a woman that men value more than her looks. We are not talking about flings here; in long and lasting relationships, there are things men like in women that are really deep.

Men cannot help being men, so do not judge them for watching sleazy item numbers and gawking at the occasional hot blonde. But when it comes to making a serious life decision that is choosing a partner, men can be just as calculative as women. The things men like in women more than her pretty face could be her ability to cook or take strong decisions. Men also like working women better because they can relate to them.

10 THINGS MEN HESITATE TO TELL WOMEN

It is a not true that what men want from women is a good housekeeper and some kids. Those days are long gone. The types of women men like are those who can be their partners and not copy book ‘wives'. Men too want a woman to be natural and real instead of being a portrait from a fashion magazine.

So don't underestimate men as they too are capable of deep thinking.

If you cannot trust a woman's character, then you cannot have a happy life with her. A man who trusts his girl completely is much happier than the man who is married to the most beautiful woman in the world.

Independence

Ability To Give Space

Space is a major issue in most relationships. So, if you are a girl who has your own life and is not willing to compromise your space, the chances are that you will land up some really great boyfriends.

Culinary Skills

Sense Of Humour

Sense of humour is something is rare in women. At least that is what men think. So prove them wrong by showing them that you can be a funny girl.

Ability To Drive Well

There is nothing more alluring to men than a woman who can drive a car like her own baby. If a woman can drive well, men connect with her on the level of a ‘buddy' immediately.

Good Vocabulary

Good Vocabulary

Do not underestimate the seductive power of a good vocabulary. While men like it when women get down and dirty once in a while, the mark of classy woman is her vocabulary.

Healthy Appetite

Healthy Appetite

Men simply hate women who count calories. It is hard to enjoy a large meal with a woman who is eating salads and constantly calculating calories. Men prefer to be with a woman who can eat burger and fries heartily even if she is a few pounds overweight.

Ready To Adjust

Ready To Adjust

Adjustment and compromise are the cornerstones of any relationship. If have the attitude that you would never compromise for him, that is a minus.

Real & Natural

Men like to look at fashion models just like women like to look at footballers. But in real life, they prefer a woman with real emotions and weaknesses.
