Lets place an image in your mind; a woman who has accomplished her short-term goals of a college degree and securing the job of her dreams. Now she is thinking of starting a long-term committed relationship. The process of finding the right man will be done thoroughly, just as she picked the perfect college and job. What would this woman be looking for in a man? That all depends on her values, personality, and her past relationships.

These relationships include romantic as well as those with friends and family. She may look for a man who has been as thorough in choosing his college and career as she was. She may also look for a man who has had similar experiences with his family as she has. These things make the man seem familiar and she is comfortable because of it. Although she may look for a man who is opposite of her; a man who will push and challenge her into experiencing new things in her life.

With all of these options, her choice will be different as all women are. If she finds a man similar to herself she would expect him not to be lazy, to exert strong effort into his goals and life. She would find a man who works hard and does not view quitting as an option. She would be attracted to a man who puts himself first.

Women who look for relationships similar to those of their parents look for specific qualities. If she saw a man and woman completely committed to each other who put loyalty and faith above all she would find a man that could be that for her. She may also have viewed a relationship where the man and woman were comfortable living their own lives and letting each other in by sharing there experiences of the day. There is also the possibility that she viewed a relationship without love and loyalty. If this is so she would be fine with a relationship like this. She would look for a man who is unable to get close and let her in, a man who only shares his life with her by going through the motions.

Other women desire excitement and inspiration. This woman would desire to be pushed in thought and actions. A man suitable for her would be eclectic, always moving from thought to thought, seeming to be anonymous. He would be imaginative, bold, and defiant. It may never be determined what women look for in the perfect man, because she might not have found the perfect characters for her. She might be looking for a man with several or all of the aforementioned qualities. A hard working man with a meticulous character but also tends to be adventurous.

One thing never to be forgotten is that women as well as men look for things that they find attractive the qualities that draw them in. She will look for a man that she finds appealing mentally as well as physically.Women are complicated, mysterious, and very difficult creatures. When men understand that women are a mystery they will be one step closer to figuring out what women want in a man.
