I don’t feel that I may speak for all women, but I can speak for myself and share what I love about certain men.....
I love a man who knows and lives in integrity. Means what he says, is who he is and inspires that kind of trust you feel safe leaning into.
I love a man who puts his faith in God first…not in a judgmental or limiting kind of way…but in that open hearted, joyful and inclusive walk with God that inspires your own faith to grow kind of way.
I love men who are comfortable in their own manly skin. Men who focus on building others up and bringing joy and support to the people they adore. Men who celebrate a woman’s femininity and beauty and who see it as a gift God gave women to share with others. Men who want to pursue and cherish a strong, smart, passionate and emotionally healthy woman…a woman like me! *grin*
I adore a guy who is smart! Smart in that witty, engaging, verbally gifted kind of way. That makes me weak in the knees.
I love men who know to look beyond the outward package to what is beneath. A guy who sees my humor or intelligence or spirituality as the thing to brag about to their guy friends…that guy I’ll hold onto.
I love men who know how to genuinely compliment me and arent afraid to do so even when it makes me blush.
I love men who open doors, pursue a woman they are interested in, walk on the street side of a sidewalk, show up when they say they will, say they’ll call and actually call, believe in chivalry and notice little things that need doing and do them!
I am impressed by those of you men who can cook. *hats off*
I admire men who are married/in a relationship and dont even LOOK at other women.
I love a guy who can help me with something heavy, messy or just generally gross. I like being a girl.
I love men who like to play AND be responsible. Men who like to plan out a great trip or show up unexpectedly for a spontaneous cup of coffee.
I love a guy who knows how to limit his video game/sports/TV/whatever addiction to a manageable distraction.
I love a man with shoulders broader than mine, with enough height that I don’t tower in my heels, deep voices, manly hands, eyes that smile, one of those huggers who really HUG you!
I’m sure I’ll think of more things that I love about men, but for now this is just to let you guys know how appreciated you are.
