Not wanting to get into stereotypes – even because we are all different and all the same – men are generally more closed to what goes on in their souls, having some difficulty – or less need – to talk openly about their inner concerns, joys, frustrations and too many feelings. But the truth is that they too have a very specific vision of the “perfect” woman. And what are they looking for, after all, in women? That’s what we’re going to talk about here, albeit generically. Because they also know what they want!
1. Intelligence
Despite being decisive, it is not the physical characteristics that most attract a man when he is looking for someone to share his life and have children. This is the conclusion of a study carried out by a biologist specializing in evolution, David Bainbridge, from the University of Cambridge. In fact, more than long legs and prominent breasts, men value a woman’s intelligence when looking for a long-term partner.
2. Good communication skills
Men like women with formed opinions, capable of expressing themselves and asserting themselves before others, of defending themselves. From women who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, even if it doesn’t agree with their partner’s view of the facts. On the other hand, they also like good listeners. Especially when they share a hint of sharing and decide to tell them something of a more intimate and private nature, they like to have someone who listens to them, who does not judge them and who makes them feel free to let off steam. Communication, in fact, is always one of the fundamental parts of any relationship!

3. Security and independence
Men prefer secure women, whose happiness does not depend solely and exclusively on a relationship. That they have an identity of their own, that they are not waiting for 24 hours of attention and adoration from their partner. For the man, it is important that the woman has her own friends and interests.
4. Clarity
Men do not like to be manipulated and usually have little patience for games created by them. They don’t want to have to read their partner’s mind or interpret signs.

5. Emotional stability
Men prefer women who are able to handle emotions in a healthy and responsible way. They are usually more practical than women, who tend to base their decisions on emotions.
6. Loyalty and loyalty
Contrary to what women think, men don’t just want sex and look for someone who doesn’t hurt their hearts. They are also afraid of losing, they want fidelity and loyalty from their mates.

7. Truth
We often put on masks on first encounters, but more days than not they end up falling off… There’s no point in pretending to be someone you’re not or saying what you think he’ll like to hear. A lasting relationship is based on honesty and each accepting the other as he is.
8. Support and acceptance
A man likes a real woman, who preserves him as he is and doesn’t try to change him. Of course, in a relationship there are always adjustments that have to be made, in terms of behavior and even personality, to create the harmony and consistency necessary to guarantee a future for two. But it is necessary to accept the other, esteem and preserve him. On the other hand, and even if they don’t always admit it, men like to have someone by their side who supports and encourages them in their goals and dreams. Even without them having to ask. They want a woman who proves to be on their side, but be careful: let her be honest! If she doesn’t agree with him, she should say so and explain why, although that shouldn’t stop her from giving him the strength he needs if that’s the path he eventually decides to take.
It is related to the previous point. Men need someone to trust and to whom they can tell their secrets and desires, someone to share moments, tastes, leisure activities, etc.
10. Sex… but not only!
They say they just want sex… probably, in some cases it may even be true, And no one doubts that sex is important for a healthy relationship and that they like sexy women, who like sex. And that neither of them should be afraid to talk about what each one likes best under the sheets. But, in general, when looking for a partner, men also appreciate other expressions of affection: kisses, hugs, praise, etc. It’s all part. They also expect a touch, a hug and a caress from the loved one.
