Be the Woman He Wants
Are You the Woman He Wants?
by Gabrielle Linzer & Robynne Boyd
Borat's pilgramage across the U.S. was in search of his ideal woman: Pamela Anderson. Okay, so sometimes fiction is stranger than truth. But most men do have some idea of what makes perfection in a woman. We sum up what most men think they want and what's really irresistible.
Want: No Commitment Pressures
Need: A Woman Who Is Open With Her Feelings
Although some men avoid pledges and promises like the plague, a woman who sets a tone of honesty aboutthe relationship is more likely to win with her man without smothering him.
Want: A 24/7 Sex Goddess
Need: A Real-Life Love Partner
Looking into each other's eyes and whispering words of affection can turn ordinary sex into extraordinary lovemaking. "Couples need to have an emotional exchange," says AOL Love Sex Life Coach Ian Kerner.
Want: A Yes-Woman
Need: A Challenge
A woman who challenges her man and pushes him to see things from a different perspective will keep him on his toes. If she has her very own personality and opinions rather than mimicking his, most likely she won't need babysitting, both financially and emotionally.
Want: A Great Beauty
Need: A Woman With Physical Presence
If it really is all about looks, then what accounts for the undeniable appeal of the hook-nosed Cleopatra? Many beauties are frightfully insecure (an unattractive trait, no?) Nothing is more compelling than force of character.
Want: A Guy's Gal
Need: Someone Who Respects His Space
Although it's nice for a guy to be able to bring his wife or girlfriend to the big game or poker night, it's better when she gives him a free time to be alone with his friends --even if she doesn't particularly like them. This kind of respect is a two-way street; girlfriend time is important for her, too.
Want: A Woman On a Financial Leash
Need: A wise investor
Hey guys, don't be so quick to assume that you are best suited to be household fiduciary, especially when it comes to long-term investments. A woman who is able budget for her long range goals may ultimately result in the couple's greater financial security and growth.
Want: A Woman Who Isn't a Yapper
Need: An Effective Communicator
A woman who knows when and how to talk to her man is less likely to misinterpret what he says. Men and women discourse differently; a smart woman can find ways to connect to her mate by assigning times to talk about serious matters and reminding him of things that need to be done in a casual rather than nagging manner.
Want: An Ego-Booster
Need: A Straight-Shooter
Relationship studies reveal that each time a spouse makes a negative crack, it can take up to five positive comments to counteract. While praise is essential, so is a woman who knows how and when to correct her partner when he is in the wrong. It will make him a better person and a better spouse.
