4 Important Things Women Look for in the Man of Their Dreams
Today, I’m going to share a guest blog post written by Pauline Plott, a London-based blogger who became a dating guru after learning the psychology behind modern romance and signing up for every dating website in pursuit of relationship bliss. She shares her reviews and opinions on www.DatingSpot.co.uk.
The way we meet and couple is rapidly changing. Online dating is slowly creeping into the mainstream and becoming the standard method of meeting new people.
But just because the methods by which we seek out love are changing, doesn’t mean our core aspirations and philosophies are changing as well. In fact, the desires of women daters today are pretty similar to those of women’s past.
A survey of dating profiles across platforms found that there are certain attributes women look for in men over and over, no matter where they live or how old they are.
Detailed below are the top four things that women look for in the man of their dreams.
1. Motivation and Drive
Life doesn’t just happen. It requires us to make it what we want it to be and motivation affects our lives in more ways than we know.
There are classic motivators like having a good job or making a good living, but there are also those that we don’t think about like a thirst for adventure or a drive to do things and become a better person.
This is probably why motivation and drive are the top things women look for in men. They don’t just indicate where a man is, but also where he will be in the future. It’s not about what he does, but rather how he chooses to do it (or not do it).
2. Good Communication Skills
In most couples, women are considered to be the better communicators, but that doesn’t mean you should let your man off the hook.
Communication (talking and listening) is the key to any healthy relationship. It doesn’t matter if you are deciding on tonight’s dinner or on the future of your relationship, it is vital that you and your man have a shared language.
This doesn’t mean that you have to agree on everything, but rather that you can both discuss things in a rational and well-thought-out way without reverting to common avoidance techniques.
Of course, communication is also important in the bedroom. Whether you are being pressured into doing something you don’t want to or aren’t getting what you want in general, you have to be able to tell your man these things and for him to be able to listen.
3. Respect for Women
Even though we’re no longer living in the ‘60s, there are still men who lack a fundamental level of respect for women. This can manifest in any way from not trusting your ideas to simply not understanding that your time is important, too.
This idea is so crucial and on the minds of women everywhere that it’s within the top three character traits they look for in a decent man.
It’s important to not misinterpret other things for disrespect, however. If he arrives late for your date because of traffic, for example, it’s probably not because he doesn’t value your feminist ideals.
4. A Sense of Adventure
Being adventurous is not just about climbing mountains, paddling through rapids, and being one with nature. It’s also a state of mind that conveys an openness and willingness in everyday life.
Not everyone has the time or resources to travel the world, but a sense of adventure comes in other forms like trying a new food or seeking out fun.
Men who possess this quality are highly desired because they are fun to be around and demonstrate to women that there is nothing that should limit any facet of their life.
If you’ve been paying attention, you may have noticed something interesting: the top priority for women is not something physical.
No, it’s not the six-pack abs or rugged good looks that most women pursue, but rather the things that lie within. Those are the things that really interest women and comprise the ultimate man of their dreams.

I love rugged good looks and six pack abs, any indicator of good physical health as much as any woman but kindness, good character, ambition, stability, intellectual curiosity has to be there too. First, there has to be some degree of attraction then one starts to look for those things that aren’t immediately obvious. It’s kind of sad that OLD is the main way to meet others as the shopping for human beings mentality leaves one disappointed and somewhat jaded after awhile but for many of us, it truly is the only way we can meet new people.
