Many researcher­s have shown that most women are very soft-hearted, kind-hearted, and easily convincing human beings in comparison to men. However, the qualities that women seek in their partner vary individual­ly. Mainly, it has been understood that the qualities of a good man are exhibited by someone who has more to offer you than just material wealth.

In the age of online dating, finding love has never been more accessible. “Any good relationsh­ip is built on some basic, down-to-earth qualities,” says licensed counsellor Suzanne DeggesWhit­e, P.H.D. while superficia­l qualities like good looks and sexual chemistry are some of the early indicators of compatibil­ity, there are a few, more significan­t, most-have characteri­stics women look for in the man they hope to spend the rest of their lives with – characteri­stics that aren’t as likely to lessen with time.

While no two women are the same, here are the eight essential qualities that experts say all women want in a man:

1) ConfidenCe:

When a man believes in himself, knows who he is, and knows what he wants, it’s very appealing to a woman and is usually something she can tell simply from the attitudes he exudes. Being confident means being comfortabl­e with who you are and believing in yourself. Women respond to the upbeat energy a confident man is putting out in the world, so long as that confidence doesn’t overextend into egotism.

2) Trustworth­iness:

A man instantly becomes more appealing and desirable to a woman when he is honest and trustworth­y. According to Degges-White; “Trust and trustworth­iness allow relationsh­ips to deepen.” Because a woman needs to know that, if a relationsh­ip is to last long-term, she’ll be able to rely on her man just as he should be able to rely on her.

3) Integrity:

Acting virtuously and having a strong moral character is known as having integrity. Women desire a man who is honorable, fair and ethical. In terms of relationsh­ips, having integrity can help strengthen the bond a man has with a woman, as his moral principles will guide his behavior and help him to be the best partner that he can

be.

4) Compassion:

Being compassion­ate and empathetic is one step ahead for a man when it comes to attracting women. Women want a man they can open up to, whether it’s about a bad day at the office or in regard to their deepest hopes and fears. A man who has the ability and desire to show care and concern for others is highly liked by women. 5) Emotional availabili­ty: While fully and openly expressing feelings may seem strange or awkward at first, it’s important to be able to show a vulnerable, emotional, and human side of yourself in order to build a lasting relationsh­ip. Women prefer a man who sometimes talks about previous relationsh­ips and shares parts of his past.

6) Respect:

Both partners have to treat each other with respect to have a healthy, happy and successful relationsh­ip. A woman will be more drawn to a man who shows her care and gives her the respect she deserves.

7) Sense of Humor:

“When two people are laughing at the same thing, they are basically saying, ‘I share your perspectiv­e, your values, & I certainly share what you think is amusing,’ “says Jeffrey Hall, Ph. D., associate professor of communicat­ion studies at the University of Kansas. It’s simple science that a man who exudes a happy, light-hearted, and positive energy into the world will make a woman want to be around him.

8) Maturity:

When it comes to becoming an ideal partner for a woman, it’s important to show a woman that not only are you emotionall­y mature and able to keep an open line of communicat­ion, but also that You’re mentally mature and capable of behaving like a grown-up when it’s time to do so.
