Todayas woman has greatly increased her expectations for potential mates. She is independent, and is finding greater opportunity in the work place and in her personal life. She sizes up partners with never before seen speed, assessing a manas strengths and weaknesses without delay.

She has accomplished everything she set out to do thus far, finished college, got a great job. She is happy, but decides it is time to consider a more serious relationship than she experienced while in school. She will not treat her opportunities in love any more lightly than she has her professional opportunities, she will make a conscious deliberate decision.

What will she want from a partner? That will all depend on her previous experience, the values she has, and her personality. She may be looking for a personality that compliments her own, someone dedicated to his job and who has worked hard to get where he is professionally. She may also be looking for someone like her father so she can recreate the positive home life she had as a child. Or she could be looking for her opposite, someone who sees the world differently and can show her different ways to enjoy it.

Considering all of these options, her choices will be as varied as the women themselves. Finding a man who mirrors herself she would expect to find a man who is not lazy, one who puts forth much effort into his goals. She would be expecting to find a hard working man, a man who leaves no stone unturned, and finds quitting no option in life. This type of woman would find attractive qualities in a man who puts his own sense of self first and foremost.

If she is pursuing a relationship similar to the one her parents had will look for comparable personality traits. Maybe her home had parents who were completely devoted to one another, who took loyalty and faithfulness to one another very seriously. Or perhaps her parentsa relationship was one of separate lives shared only at dinner time in story yet somehow coming together quite comfortably. There is also the unfortunate possibility that her home was one of loneliness, where her parents had little affection or devotion toward one another. She could still potentially be comfortable living in a similar home. She would desire a man with an inability to share who will never get emotionally closer than sharing the house with her.

A woman looking for new thrills and excitement will desire someone capable of stimulating her thoughts and actions. A woman like this might like a man that is eccentric, jumps from project to project, and who creates a little mystery as to who he truly is; a man like that would be very creative, someone who throws caution to the wind.

We may never know what a woman truly wants, because she may not sincerely have placed in mind a specific character. Women are as different as men. She can be interested in someone who comprises all of these qualities. A man who is hard working, with a diligent attitude but also exhibits tendencies to stray from the norm and is adventurous.

Finally let us not forget that women just as men are also looking for the qualities they find attractive. She will be looking for someone she finds appealing not only to her mind but provokes desire physically. Yes, a woman is as different as shades of gray, an elusive and undeniably difficult creature. Understanding she is a mystery will go a long way to capturing the idea of what a woman really wants in a man.
