Eight Qualities Men are Looking for in a woman

Over the years, researchers have revealed certain qualities men are looking for in a woman of their choice. Among these qualities are the following:

1.   Genuine Love 

Men want a wife who will genuinely love them. They want a woman that will love them not because of the money they have, but because of the genuine love she has for them. They don’t want a woman that will love them when the going is good and hate them when the going is bad.

2.   Godliness 

Men want a woman that is godly. They want a God-fearing woman, a woman they can trust, that is submissive and who they can be proud of.

It is common to find men who are not so morally upright marrying women who have high level of morality. Even criminals want to marry morally upright and godly women.

3.      Career Woman

 

Men want a career woman. They want a woman who has a regular source of income. Such a woman may be a professional, a trader, a business woman or a salary earner. These days, men are not that interested in having a full-time housewife. They prefer a wife who has a source of income and who contributes financially for the upkeep of the family.

And this is good on the part of the woman as she don’t have to wait for her husband all the time to provide the basic items she needs. There will be less friction in respect of financial matters where the wife is also an income earner.

4.   Faithfulness 

Men want a woman who is faithful, who they can trust and who is not wayward. Men, for instance, may be womanisers, but they don’t want their wife to go out with other men. For many men, a slight suspicion that their wife is cheating out on them is enough to cause serious problem between them.

5.   Cleanliness 

Men are more attracted to a woman that is clean in appearance, neat and well-dressed. Mariam Ba once wrote, “Cleanliness is one of the essential qualities of a woman." A clean woman is more likely to get the attention of men than an untidy woman.

6.   Good Housekeeping 

Men want a wife that will be a good housekeeper. Anytime they arrive home and meet their wife at home, they expect everything to be in order and the house kept clean and tidy. 

7.   Submissiveness 

By God’s standard, men are head of the family. As such, they prefer a woman that will be submissive to them. They don’t want a woman that will compete with them as head of the family. Where there are two heads in the home, there is bound to be some element of conflicts. Where a woman is submissive enough, all other things being equal, there may be peace in the home.

8.   Beauty

Men are primarily attracted to a woman’s physical attraction. And they want to have a beautiful wife. Note, however, that as Shakespeare said, “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”

Worthy of consideration also is the inner quality of kindness, good manner and good character. Any beauty that is devoid of inner beauty may make the marital success an illusion. This is because, in the final analysis, what men are looking for in a woman is the inner beauty and not necessarily physical attraction.
