No seriously...men always complain that they are visual and because of it desire women who are attractive and pitch a tent in their pants. Therefore they can justify their chasing of women who are 10's and constantly put down over weight women or "average" women.

If women have any sort of requirements however they are quickly called names. If women have a height requirement, then they are superficial and need to look at a mans personality , if a woman requires a man have a college degree, or financially independent she's a gold digger So I am curious what everyone thinks women should look for in a man? Someone nice? Is that all? I mean I seriously want to know.

BTW men can keep throwing the were biologically hardwired to chase women who are beautiful but guess what, women are hardwired to be attracted to men who are the best protectors and providers (meaning men who are financially stable). Why do women get called names like gold digger if they are open about wanting a man who can support her and their family? I don't want a man whose rich, but someone who can help out with the bills and isn't struggling would be nice. We can sit here and pretend that money shouldn't be important in a relationship but the #1 reason for divorce is financial hardship, so clearly it means something. I have my own career and make pretty good money on my own and do desire someone who can meet me on my level.

I really want to know what men...and women on this forum think women should have on their list of desirable traits...just to avoid being called any names in the future

There is no SHOULD. It's what ever YOU want in terms of desirable traits is what matters. Everyone's wants are different.

Someone who brings out the good in you. If it's financial security that creates a comfortable environment for you to pursue your own career goals or to be the best stay at home mom ever without worrying about bills, that shouldn't be a bad thing.

I look for patience and thoughtfulness (self-reflection) in a partner because these are things I'm constantly striving to work on myself and it helps being around someone good at it who can remind me to keep at it.

Easy question, simple answer:

You look for those traits that are important to you. If you want to look for what is important to other people, by all means, consider the other answers. Best of luck to you.

"Clicking with" is more like fulfilling a requirement list with a certain percentage.

Also it's become "a sport" with a certain percentage to try and use people then spit them out.

It really doesn't matter. Women can require whatever they will require.

I'm not going to date someone just because he has money but it IS on my list of requirements and I don't care what ANYONE says about it.

BTW it has been my experience that men who have money don't throw around the word gold digger. They know that their money DOES make them more attractive. Some men actually use their money and status purposely to attract women so it's not like they don't know what they are doing
So how's it going with you and your now fiance' (congrats) since I last responded to one of your posts when he was just your bf then (if you remember) in November 2012?

I hope that it never gets to the point that he finds that it was a "lousy business deal".
