Top 10 things men want in a girl

1. She has a life of her own: Ladies, this means that you take care of yourself, pay attention to your personal style and find time to hang around with your fabulous friends and family. You can’t expect your boyfriend to be the focus of your entire existence.

2. She never makes the first move: This issue has been debated to death, and there is no true consensus. But experts believe a woman should never, ever pursue a man. Instead, experts suggests waiting for the man to initiate and plan dates.  The reasoning – If the woman is always the one calling, she will never know if he is really interested in her or if it’s just convenient for him. She may find herself questioning the relationship during every step.

3. She’s sexy without being loud:
In the beginning of courtship, a woman should refrain from making any comments that are overtly sexual. When the relationship gets more serious, and presumably more intimate, sexual touch and public display of affection are more appropriate.

4. She waits to have sex: Sex should always be a big step for couples. Many women don’t even realise just how much sex changes the dynamics of a relationship. Experts warn that if women ‘do the deed’ too soon, they might make too much of a relationship that barely ever existed outside of the bedroom. When you inflate the significance of a relationship, the man often bolts.

5. She does little things to show she cares: You do not have to turn into a housemaid, but the bottom line is that you should want to do the little things that let him know you care and you are paying attention to his individual needs. And he should do the same for you.

6. She should be her boyfriend’s companion: Help him to look good in front of the boss. The perfect girlfriend laughs at her guy’s jokes and helps him shine when it is important.

7. She never turns on the pressure: This one is important. Men have a distinct aversion to any sort of pressure. Therefore, women should avoid calling and/or emailing him many times during the day or dropping hints about the future. In fact, keep the dreaded M-word (marriage) out of your vocabulary all together. Experts say men don’t want to constantly test the pulse of a relationship; they would rather just enjoy it.

8. She’s a no-nonsense girl: A good woman never accepts bad behaviour. Guys respect women with whom they can’t get away with anything. If a man knows there’s a penalty – like getting thrown to the curb for a serious violation like cheating, he’ll respect you more, and he will be far less likely to do it. You should also never even bother to date married men, those who already have girlfriends or anyone who verbally or physically threatens or abuses you.

9. A good woman always chooses a good man: That means that you should look for someone who is honest and dependable. He has to treat you right. Chivalry is not dead, by the way.

10. She knows that love is the biggest part of the mating equation: Just how does a woman know that she has found that crazy-for-you, toe-curling relationship? Experts say some women must feel that unique sense of comfort and acceptance and the feeling that someone else’s happiness is as important to them as their own.
