The Top 10 Qualities Men Are Secretly Looking For In A Girlfriend

What makes the perfect girlfriend? Is she the girl next door
with gorgeous good looks and double-Ds? Well, not exactly.
Contrary to what you might think, most guys aren't looking
for a supermodel. They're just looking for their perfect
match: a woman who's down-to-earth, sweet and sensitive to
his needs.

Here are ten attractive traits that every man keeps in mind
when deciding if the woman (ie. you) sitting across the dinner
table from him at that first dateis girlfriend material.

1. Confidence
Take it from the guys, nothing is sexier than a woman who's
comfortable in her own skin. If you're guilty of meekly
asking lines like: "Does this skirt make my thighs look fat?"
… stop asking. If you're constantly needing his reassurance
that you're beautiful, he may start asking questions himself.

2. Intelligence
Acting like a bimbo loses it's novelty to men after high
school. What men want in a girlfriend is a woman who can
stand as his equal. So be the smart, savvy woman you are! To
him, it's a total turn-on.

3. Unmaterialistic
Yes, he wants to be your knight in shining armor. And yes, he
wants to treat you like the princess you are … but that doesn't
give you license to act like one. Allow him the luxury of
treating you with romantic dinners and surprise baubles
without having to demand them of him. He'll be relieved that
he doesn't have to try so hard and surprisingly, this will
inspire him to rise to the occasion when he doesn't have to
dedicate his whole paycheck to lavish tokens of his love for
you.

4. Spontaneity
One of the first things to go in a relationship is the
spontaneity. You get stuck in your Friday night dinner dates
and you lose that spark you had when you first started dating
each other. Don't lose it! Men love a woman who can do
things spur-of-the-moment.

5. Laid-Back
What's one of the best things you can do for your relationship
with him? Relax. Just relax. When you come home from a
long, hard day at work and see those dishes piling up in the
sink, we know you have the urge to lash out at him. Instead,
try to let it go for the night. No man likes a nag and every
man likes a woman who can let her hair down and doesn't
sweat the small stuff. We're not saying to just kick back and
bro out with him, but a relationship is solid when you're able
to relax with each other.

6. Playfulness
Guys like a girl who laugh at their jokes, but isn't mindless
and isn't always serious about everything. Just as we
mentioned that men like a woman who can forgo nagging him
about the dishes, they like a woman who can joke about the
dishes too. Biting remarks and snappy comebacks are just the
witty repartee to keep the spark between you in your
relationship. And hey, isn't laughter the best aphrodisiac?

7. Sensuality
We've already mentioned before that it's not all about your
looks (albeit, that's a good motivator for some men) — it's
more about an air of sexiness and confidence that will draw
his eyes to you when you enter the room. Embrace your
femininity.

8. Honesty
If he can't trust you — how can he ever see you as his
girlfriend … and eventual spouse? Keep things open and
honest in your relationship. A little white lie over flirty texts
with an old guy friend from college can spiral out of control
very quickly into a full-blown fight … and breakup.

19. Independence
Dating a driven, passionate woman? So hot. Babysitting a
stage five clinger? Not so much. No man wants a girlfriend
they have to reassuringly text, call or visit every five minutes.
Give him his poker night with the boys. Let him go golfing on
a weekend. Learn to give your guy his space — or he may
break up with you to get it.

10. Supportive
As clichéd as it is, some men want to be caretakers… but
even the strongest of men want a soft place to fall. He wants
to know that you'll support him and stand by him in his life
choices, whether it's changing careers or moving to a new
city. Show your support in small gestures with a quick "I love
you" text when he heads off for his morning commute and
listen to him after a hard day's work. Be supportive — but not
suffocating. The last thing you want is to remind him too
much of his mother.
