What Women Want In a Man!! ( Archived) (323)

Physical attractiveness.
In our John Mark Ministries retreats, I might ask a woman how she feels about herself on a scale of 1 to 10. If her score is low, it's usually got something to do with her relationship with her father (particularly as a young teenager) and/or her feelings about her body image. A woman needs to hear from her man that she's attractive. In today's culture, because of what they are taught as girls and read in magazines and see on TV and in films, women get insecure about how they look. 'Hey you look nice' are very special words!

Her feelings need to be honored.
Feelings are as important to a woman as work (and maybe sport) is to a man. That's why she likes to talk about them. She needs her man to acknowledge what's going on for her when she's being emotional. So it's best not to try to tell her that what she's feeling is "wrong" or 'fix' the problem unless she asks. And, husbands: Never tell her 'not to feel' her emotions. A sensitive person asks 'How do you feel about that?' then sits down and listens. Most women understand that most men get uncomfortable when she's being emotional, but if she can express herself and listen with her man's full attention, she'll think he's the most sensitive man on the planet!

Geeeeeeeeee see how simple we really are....

Tells it straight
Guys don't want to have to play games or guess what a woman wants, so they're drawn to honesty, sincerity and the ability to communicate clearly. If you're straightforward about how you feel and what you want, he can react to you rather than waste time trying to gauge what's really going on. Men aren't exactly pros when it comes to reading our minds, and they know it. Being upfront about how you feel can make it a little easier on everyone.


Cares about me
They didn't seem as concerned with being the sun to her earth as they were interested in women who are genuinely compassionate. While a girl who is the center of her own universe might be intriguing in the beginning, it gets old fast, and men want to be treated with kindness and respect as much as women do. They also notice how we act when it's not about them: back-stabbing and cattiness score high as major turn-offs.


Confuses me
Don't ever feel that you're beholden to one version of yourself or that he'll lose interest if you reveal your "dark" side. Men are strangely drawn to contradictions, and the polarities of your personality are what make you uniquely you. Let yourself be bookish and passionate, conservative but spontaneous, lighthearted and intellectual -- those warring contradictions that can make you crazy can also make you mysterious and continually surprising.
