Here are the most popular
qualities that modern men look for in women:
1. She has a life of her own.
It is important to
show that you are self-sufficient when you are trying to impress a man, and it
is equally as important to maintain this when you are in a relationship. The
average modern man doesn’t want a lady to be clinging onto him all the
time. It makes him feel suffocated rather
than ditching your friends and family to spend time with a new love interest.
You make sure that you keep separate plans in your diary at all times.
2. She is honest and loyal.
Be honest with your love interest. If you tell them that:
- you’re married and going through a particularly difficult divorce
- you have a strange obsession with feet
- anything else that could potentially make them run for the hills
Then you’ve done the
right thing. Okay, maybe hold back on option 2 for now, but you see what we’re
getting at. Anything that they may find out further down the line and could put
them off should be made clear from the outset, or you risk wasting the time of
you both.
3. She looks after herself.
This is one thing
that hasn’t changed since the days of our most distant ancestors. Men like a
woman who takes a pride in her appearance and vice versa. We’re not talking
about being a tall, slim supermodel. It’s not all about looks, but a little
primping and preening here and there goes a long way. Wear something that
accentuates your fantastic figure. Wear makeup to highlight your natural
features, style your hair to compliment your face, and spritz on your favorite
scent to boost your confidence.
4. She is self-confident.
Nowadays, being needy
attracts little more than a few raised eyebrows. Despite coming across as
confident, rarely do the celebrities you see in the media feel as bold and
confident as they look. It’s all about faking it. Instead of zoning in on your
weaknesses, develop and maximize your strengths to put you in the right frame
of mind. Make sure you use your body language to your advantage, as this can
help you to fake confidence when really you might prefer it if the ground were
to swallow you up. Stand tall, make eye contact, and smile, for an instantly
more confident you.
5. She is mature and well-spoken.
Baby talk can be cute
but don’t use it too often, sugar bunny. Your average modern man likes his
woman to be able to hold down an intellectual conversation as well as having a
good sense of humor, and cutie-overload could put him off. Talk about
interesting topics and be sure to listen to him as well as inputting your own
thoughts and ideas into the conversation. Hold back on slang words for your
first few dates and avoid swear words too, as they come across as uncouth.
