What Good Men Look For In A Woman
Posted in Relationships on 19. Dec, 2008

There are few qualities a woman must have for any ‘good man’ to want to take the step in a relationship and make it official. It’s these key traits of a personality which can be the difference from just wanting to have sex and him putting a ring on her finger.
Conversation: Being able to communicate effectively is very important. Most women can sexually turn a man on, but to be able to stimulate his mind will get you a lot further. The things a woman say and her ability to keep up an entertaining conversation says a lot about her values and the things she deems important. You can be the most beautiful woman in the world, but if you’re aggravating to talk to, you’ll be single for a long time or you’ll get done and run. That’s when he hit it and bounced, as the man says thinks that’s why you’re single because you’re freaking aggravating. **zips up pants**
What To Listen For:
-
“I love talking to you”
-
“I can talk to you all day”
-
“I wanted to know your opinion on…”
Appearance: They way a woman looks is a very important factor in all relationships. Now while I believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no one wants to be with someone who looks like they were beaten worst than Rodney King with an ugly stick. Take care of how you look, and give a damn from time to time. No one is expecting you to look like Eva Pigford 24-7, but make a woman should make a man want her.
What To Listen For:
-
“You look amazing”
-
“Your smile really makes my day”
-
“You have the cutest __”

Home Is Where The Heart Is: Another key thing is for a woman to keep a clean house, cook, and take care of kids. Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to say that women should be bare foot and pregnant but women need to know how to take care of a home, better than a man. You’ll be surprise at the amount of women I’ve came across who can’t keep a clean house, can’t cook and have no clue how to raise their kids.

so true! there are a lot of angry, bittrer, single women out there who might wanna read this post! (not saying that all single are women are angry and bitter, just some of them) and also, you should want to have these qualities just for YOU…and the fact that thses traits are attractive to a man should just be an added bonus.
I agree with what your stating in this post, but I also believe that a man should give out what he is looking for in return. A woman treats her man the way he treats her. So if your exxpecting dinner on the table every night and your not buying at least a box of rice to contribute then don't get mad when ol girl doesn't cook anything for dinner.
There are alot of good men and women out there but for some reason they end up finding the wrong one.
I agree..and I also believe that all of this should also apply to men
CHURCH!!!! LoL
Also important in a relationship is for the man and woman to have good credit and little to no debt..
Good financial sense!
I wonder why I'm not married yet (mayb b/c I'm not ready)b/c I've heard:
“I love talking to you”
“I can talk to you all day”
“I wanted to know your opinion on…”
AND
You look amazing”
“Your smile really makes my day” [I get this ALL day every day!]
“You have the cutest __”
Plus I know how to cook but I hate when a guy assumes tht b/c I'm slim tht I either don't know how to cook or eat like I'm on a diet lol. I love to eat & love to cook. Plus I keep a clean house & know how to handle kids.
And whether I'm having a laid back moment or getting ready to go out, I look good!
I agree… first there has to be some attraction physically, but a conversation and potential wife/mother is just as important. (Also ladies if you already have a kid that is a HUGE sign of what mother you are/are going to be, so if you are out in the bars 4 days a week or talk about “dumping” off your kid so that we can hang out, you are taking great steps backwards) For me an education is a HUGE plus too. If you are educated it shows that you have the drive and motivation to get what you want.
Too many times I find a woman who does not meet these standards and even if I try to talk to them I still can never get myself into a relationship mode with them.
Co-Sign… I do not want HER debts, and it shows how responsible one is… good call!
A man should def. give what he is expecting. In this day and age of BOTH partners working-then housework needs 2 b 50/50. I can cook bttr than my husband, but can he cook? Yes, then dammit cook what u no how 2 cook. U can contribute to the house. Any more marriage is a partnership a business deal (yes even if ur n luv u still weigh all ur options b4 u commit). You have to look @ gains vs. loses. What will I gain, what can he bring to the table that makes him worth having & keeping. I just think that if u r going to divide what jobs r 4 the women-then lay down the law 4 men 2.
Exactly. I have never understood how women have a house full of kids but are NEVER With them. I know ppl that have children that I have NEVER seen b4 but u always catch them out and about. I'll never understand how they always have a man either. I couldnt be w/anyone that had a responsibility as big as being a parent that they Wouldnt commit their time to. Women AND men r guilty of this. It just seems more noticeable when women do it.
Yeah there are a lot of bitter woman but I think the way the other sex behaves is a direct reflection on the way their opposite sex behaves… like I think it's the females' fault why men are dogs and its the man's fault why females behave the way they do…
But yeah all woman should want to have this for them self too.
True a lot of people do find the wrong person or just choose the wrong person. But I believe that there are just some things that woman should do! Like keep a clean house. I think cleaning the house is something that all women should do better than man and cook too.
Don't get me wrong I can cook but i just simply believe that a woman should be able to make a good dinner and if she can't cook she should be able to a) bring home groceries b) cook at least one meal that is off the damn chain
Yeah a man should clean… but there are things that men should do and woman should do… like take out the garbage, kill bugs, and fix ish… or get someone to fix ish…
yeah you can't have a one way conversation! It's damn near impossible I know i've tried.
U no Xilla, u r so wise-I cant b leve ur still single-YOU must be choosy
U r 1 of the only men that I have ever seen admit that mens behavior affects how a women behaves and visa versa. The reason I no this 2 is b/c the difference in how women who havent had their heart broken behave towards their men. I can admit that I have had my heart broken to mere fragments. Once u dust ur self off and move on u r forever changed. It takes a special person and some deep self cleansing 2 allow u 2 ever make urself vulnerable again. HOw TRUE!
That has always tripped me out. Always out on the latest scene and never take care of their kids. I know a girl that left her 3 year old at home alone at nights so she could go to the club. I was shocked that a parent would do that. What the hell is the club giving away that you gotta leave your child all alone. Some folks should not be parents at all.
I recently had my heart shattered… trying to love… It made me be like i'm just going to fuck and not care… fuck love. I'm bout to write about it later today so lets change the topic. lol how about those falcons
That's a hard one to find though… College Loans and credit in general is a trip. It's a recession. Shouldn't there be an age limit on when a person should have good credit.
When I am at home on my down time I look like I am at home. If my boo is at my house 24-7 he is gonna see me not looking the hottest sometimes. That in my opinion is normal. I like to be comfortable in my palace. Going out is a different story. My boo is proud when I walk with him in the streets cause I know how to present myself. But if we at the house and we are together u gonna see the at home VICHICK and I stay with my wrap on my head. If it is a new relationship nucca wont see that shit. but if we been together for a while and we are in a serious relationship that wrap is coming out the drawer.
Yeah you kknow you're not trying to get married girl stop playing!! lol
I think that the reality is that woman and men have their place. Now don't get it twisted, I'm not one of those “old school” people but I DO have an appreciation for some of the “old school” ideaologies. Because at the end of the day, it's not just a “man's job to do this” or a “woman's job to do that”, but the principle of partnership and what naturally attracts us to eachother as males and females.
As a man, u lov the smell of a woman. She's feminine. She's clean (or at least supposed to be). She takes care of me. She's sexy. All of this is true right? So why is it so hard for women to accept that to smell good and be clean and a caretaker goes hand in hand with cooking, cleaning the house, and being a good mom? In no way does that take away from our progression as women, but adds to the greatness that we are. We can hold down a $100,000 a year job, have a fly whip, cook our asses off, make sure our kids do all their homework and do it all while LOOKING FLY at the same time. Shiiiiit, if I was a man that would keep my dick hard all day!
As a woman, u love the strength of a man. U love how makes u feel protected. u love that he can make sure you have what u need even if it means he gets no sleep and works 80 hours a week. U love how he towers over you and breaks your back in the bedroom. Well guess what? All that goes hand in hand with taking out the garbage, fixing shit, and being the man the kids don't wanna face when they messin up in school. Ok, so he don't really know how to cook that well, he leaves a couple dishes in the sink, he keeps leaving socks on the floor. SO WHAT! U try having the well being of ur family on ur shoulder all day and see how much u feel like bussin some suds! lol TAKE THE L.
So basically, a good man will appreciate a good woman and vise versa. But let's not forget what makes us attracted to eachother in the first place. A sense of belonging and fulfulling a certain role really keeps relationships together and keeps them healthy.
There is good credit and bad credit…. School loans and that are good cause it will help you in the future. MAJOR Credit Card debt, or the inability to get a cell phone in your own name because you previously did not pay your $400 bill is a red flag.
I believe it is because most of the time the females have the custody of a child. This day and age it is way too hard for the father to gain custody without police reports, hospital records, or drug convictions on the mother. It does work both ways though, but the father has an easier time to cover their children up if they do not have custody.
You know you have a good girl when you can see her in her “down time” and still feel she is beautiful…. thats always a good judgement. And some chicks look better when they aren't “trying so hard”
aaaaw xilla! i'm sorry we got in a text war now lol! anywhooo i think ur baaaaaaaaaaaack! todays posts were fire! and it sucks cuz i been busy and can't even keep up…
i so agree with what u said re: opposite sex. if men didn't dog women out because they nagg them things would be better…[y'all catch that!? i can't slow down for u to catch up lol] we must learn to communicate and be more honest.but exercise tact. there's nothing like someone that TOO honest and abrasive.
AND ANOTHA THING, women, specially black women PLEASE keep urself up!. too many sistas i know only get pedicures in the summer or shave in the summer. what is up with that!? i like the feeling of my baldie or a mohawk and i guess i'ma a cheater since i do hair and nails, but i enjoy gettin cute! please take notes! and buy fancy drawz er now and then. even ur “periodpantieS” can be cute MATCHING sets from wallyworld for $12 that hold up better than victoria's secret….ok done! ;D
i agree. i enjoy allowing my man to be a man. yes i know how to change a tire or fix my sink, but i enjoy allowing him ti play his role. i enjoy cooking and experimenting with meals or doing womanly things…. role association is NECESSARY for success.
Ness will you marry me!? AGAIN u are talkin my life. i've had one clown propose to me but its only because we wanted my babies and knew i wasn't eager to be a babymama.
i cook, order my cleaning lady to his apt, am a great listener, will help edit ur papers/re-acess calculations for clients portfolios, and got a sneakabooty that makes the preachas sin.
WHATS THE PROBLEM!?
TRUE! i had a black guy be married and have a son, that his wife dropped off at my apt. he worked a job where i couldn't contact him til that night so i was DISGUSTED! i had to play with bam bam for hrs! i love kids but damn! some people shouldn't even be allowed to make 'em! specially when good parents are sterile. its all nutty.
I agree somewhat…my household is the same way though we now have older kids so they do most of the household work…but before they got old enough I did the cooking and cleaning and worked and went to school (ladies it is possible) and my husband did the taking the garbabge, fixing ish etc. But my neighbors it's the opposite and it works for them so that the most important thing doing what works for you so above all communication is the key and the ability to be flexible
UN-F*CKIN-BELIEVABLE…that is just plain sickening, and somebody like that won't ever have an open case with ACS but let a responsible loving parent pop their child for a legitimate reason – they'll be all in your shyt
Oh and as far as keeping yourself up just yesterday my husband was fussing at me cause when we went shopping he wanted to park in between two stores so we could walk back and forth I'm like fool do you see my heels and he was like well why hte hell did you wear them as he saying this we are pulling into a parking spot and this chick has on a dirty tee, some rolled over shoes and a head scarf and instanly he's like nevermind…lol
Great post – simply put, as women, we need to have substance – it's amazing that some women need to even be told this kind of stuff…
Yeah I'm not trying to get married unless I can marry two men (j/k) lol
Lol of course I'll marry you!!!
So wait…let me get this str8t! I guy proposed just so u could have his baby? WTH is wrong w/ some of these guys nowadays!
I realized a long time ago tht men don't marry out of love but they marry b/c they feel obligated.
the problem is some men, even the good/smart ones, don't know that they want and need a good woman, with substance, we can after all be a bit of a challenge at times
they think something nice to look at without a brain or domestic skill to speak of is gonna satisfy them and because she's dumb she won't put up resistance or offer an opinion
cut to scene in Coming to America when Vanessa Bell Calloway was hopping on one foot barking and repeating “whatever you like”
the joke is on them tho' cause dumb bytches don't know they're dumb and when they do start offering up their stupid POV and arguing the men realize (all to late) their mistake, nothing worse than a debate with a dumb ass…HA!
amen, i need the corporatey white boy to pay me, and the hood nigga to bounce and break my back! lol OW!
oKAAAY! lol i love coming to amerikkka. bitch was like arf arf! omg! i love hearing stupid girls speak. it brightens my day. especially when their guy gets embarassed! HA!
girl i ddated dude a min and he popped the condom on me then proposed after i found out i was preg. i saids aWHAT?! noWAAAAY! headed right to the chopshop, handled my b-i, gotta pedicure and leg rub, and didn't speak to him again til ma rent was late. he wanted a baby more than anything and thought i'd make a cute one since i had good hair and my parents were mixed. i couldn't make this mess up!
i don't know anyone that's married and are really in love. all the married folks i know are angry or they did it for career purposes. that ain' even me.
damn….I guess it's really true tht dudes really try to get females prego!!! WOW!! damn tht's bananas…u gotta watch dudes sometimes! they make it seem like females try to trick dudes 2 get prego but it goes both ways from wht I see
Oh and tht's why I'm not rushing into marriage b/c I'll be damned if I have a kid w/ my husband and he pulls a “waiting to exhale” moment like angela b. when thru in tht movie!! hell naw!!!
if it happens then it happens, but I'd rather spend the rest of my life traveling the world, getting my block rocked by the men/man tht I choose & have a puppy lmao
lol..hahahahaha tht's cute lol.
girl my grandmothers empoloyees daughter [such a hood tree of relation right there] had a guy get her preg on purpose. cuz she's mixed. and they're all religious so she didn't get an abortion. the baby is absolutely amazingly handsome and he takes care of him but the ish is still wild 100's!
i'm soooo enjoying the ride and Santa better bring me my cockapoo named QueenB[but its gone be a gay boy dog and i'ma dress him in girl clothes] there's no need to get married to me. all it is is legally tying my duckets to his coins. i ain' goin!
OMG, you just stand there lookin at dude with that smirk like are you really with this dumb broad and for whatever reason no matter how cute she might be she becomes the ultimate source of shame for him at that moment….sooooo effin funny to witness
Wow tht's crzy! He set her up lovely knowing tht she wouldn't terminate it…damn he's so smart. Too bad the Plan B wasn't an over the counter option lol.
lol…u can't have a gay boy dog lol..lmao!! u know they have fly clothes for male dogs lol….

this is why I can't f*ck wit ya”ll at work, Boss Bytch or not I'll get fired for sure for always being UMDROFLMAOOL instead of workin, shyt I need a door and a ceiling for my cubiffice
Why do men feel that women should always cook,clean house,and take care of the kids?Whats wrong with rotating these responsiblities?Thats why women look so run down trying to do everything at the homefront.Remember its a job that has no pay or vacation!There are women who cater to their men and kids,because they put their needs before their own.No time for themselves,Those are nice pics of Eva,but they are not reality.
