We hope you took to heart the first list of 5 things every woman is looking for. Hopefully the fellaz have upped their game! Now that you have your undergrad in relationship studies, we offer you an opportunity to gain your masters LOL. There will be no PhD programme – no guy could handle it!

6. Respectful (especially to his Mom)

I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but the way a man treats his mom has a direct correlation to how he might treat you.  The female role that a mother plays in her son’s life can be the most stable example he has.  During his life he has seen his mother deal with many issues that women go through, and how she has responded and therefore expected to be comforted. There are men who love their mothers to death and then go on and beat their own wives to death…but I have never heard of a man who disrespected his mother and ended up respecting his wife!

7.  Sense of Humour

Women love a man that can be funny and make them laugh. It does not mean that women want their men to be jokers but there are many times that laughter is the best medicine. Women are emotional creatures that like being happy and enjoy light and joyous moments. A good sense of humor along with confidence and a positive outlook can trigger the right buttons in a woman.

8. Honesty

Honesty is what builds trust in a relationship. It is much easier to forgive your man’s mistakes, if they are honest and upfront to begin with. Hiding things and being dishonest infuriates women, especially when all you had to do is be upfront in the first place. But women are not off the hook either; since most guys will naturally tend to lie before telling the truth, you must communicate with your man and understand that the truth isn’t always an easy pill to swallow.  Be prepared for the worst, but understand that it’s better to know now, rather than 5 years down the road when the commitment and emotional reliance is much deeper and therefore harder to walk away from.

9.Driven

Women want an ambitious guy that is in control but not controlling. They are driven by goals, and are result-oriented. They don’t let anything stop them and have a genuine desire to excel in a particular area in their life.  Whether it is in the office, or a weekend golf game, they commit, they show up, and they succeed.

10. Romantic

Women love to be wooed.  Women want to be pursued and courted by a man eager to win their attention.  Women want to feel desired and important during the “honeymoon” stage of the relationship, and eventually a feeling of security in a long-term commitment. Little gestures like holding doors, picking up the tab at dinner, reaching for your hand in public, and offering to fix things around the house, work like magic.  All too often, these little gestures fade with time.  But remember that romance is a two-way street, he can’t do everything all on his own, so don’t be afraid to send gestures to your man either!
