What Girls Look for in Guys

Men are bad at understanding women, and even hopeless at reading subtle signs. So, unless we women voice our needs by shouting them over rooftops, it is unlikely that we can get our point across.

Women have always intrigued men, in more ways than one. Since ages, men have struggled to read the obscure minds of girls, but to no avail. What girls look for in guys, is one such question that often baffles them.

Looks do matter when it comes to wooing a girl. Having said that, it doesn't mean that average looking ones have no chance.

Gorgeous looks can only get you so far, but there are other things that can actually help you create a bond with the girl of your dreams. Of course, great looks with a masculine build are simply irresistible. Girls surely find it impossible to say no when an attractive person asks them out.

However, one need not be a certain Robert Pattinson or Gerard Butler to ask a girl out on a date. There are many physical attributes, which girls find attractive even in a 'guy next door'.

More than physical appearance, it is the emotional behavior that can help you establish a gratifying relationship. No matter how hard your girl tries to convince you that she is an independent woman and can take care of herself, at heart, she loves to be pampered and be emotionally dependent on you.

However, bear in mind that not all independent girls are the same. Some may not like being pampered, and some definitely do not like being emotionally dependent.

But remember that a loving and caring boyfriend who listens patiently to all her nonsense babble, offers a shoulder to cry upon when she has a hard day at office, and doesn't mind lifting ten shopping bags for her (bonus points if he pays for them as well!), is all a girl could ask for in her life.

Politeness is another quality girls would like to have in their potential boyfriends. An arrogant male who talks disrespectfully is a big turn off in spite of his killer looks.

A guy who lets her order her own food and drink and volunteers to foot the bill, comes across as great husband material. Chivalrous people have a better chance of winning a girl over in no time.

Girls love guys who are confident and independent. You may not be successful or rich, but the confidence and your faith in yourself can help you gain her respect. They hate men who are irresponsible whiners, who blame their destinies for their failures. Thus, you are allowed to be ugly and broke, as long as you have confidence.

The things girls look for in guys, undergo a huge change over a period of time. What teenage girls look for may not be the same as the things an independent woman seeks in her life partner.

Thus, the needs and demands of a girl are pretty easy to understand. These qualities are almost always present in most good guys. You only need to identify your plus points, and polish yourself according to your girl's expectations.
