I have to admit, you guys have it rough. Figuring out what a girl wants is like staring into one of those Magic Eye pictures (which I know are fake, and you all are just making fun of me squinting).
One day, a girl could want a certain type of guy, then the next day it could change, also depending on which character from the show Friends she’s trying to emulate in a man at any given moment.
To illustrate my self-depreciating point of how women are walking contradictions, I put together a list of the types of qualities that a woman looks for in a man. In advance, you’re welcome, guys. Usually, I’m hard on you, but in this post, you get a holiday.
If you get lost in the shades of grey below, I left a trail of crumbs to find your way out.
Women want a guy who is:
- Cultured but not snobby
- Attentive but not smothering
- Wealthy but not overindulgent
- Loves his mother but isn’t a momma’s boy
- Consistent yet spontaneous
- Dependable yet adventurous
- Spontaneous yet predictable
- Fun yet responsible
- Humble yet confident
- A feminist, except when a jar needs opened, the trash needs taken out, a creepy guy hits on her at the bar, or literally any other time it conveniently benefits a woman
- Structured yet easy-going
- Confident yet modest
- Intelligent yet humble
- Classy yet down-to-earth
- Charismatic yet unpretentious
- A good talker yet a good listener
- Dominant yet sensitive
- Passionate yet realistic
- Romantic but not soft
- Kind yet competitive
- Decisive yet flexible
- Rugged yet refined
- Funny yet serious
- Gentle yet rough
- Bold yet humble
- Wild yet tamed
Yeah, guys, good luck with that.
I was lost halfway the list. But now at least I know why. :P

Dudes just need to ask women what they would like/want. Decide whether they can do that, and if so, do their best to live up to it. If they can’t do so, then tell women that rather than try to be someone they’re not. Dudes should also tell women what they would like. Take it from me, as a gay guy I know the ins and outs of straight relationships…in a manner of speaking

Okay - So if I understand your list properly… Women want a guy with dissociative identity disorder. I’m being seriously funny here… so I’ll expect a response that is bold yet humble… or perhaps fun yet responsible… well - either way, I’ll try to accept your response in a classy yet down-to-earth manner.
This was a fun post to read and I especially enjoyed the comments section. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope you are having a beautiful evening…

Hey, Rachel!
There are two guys left in the world who meet all your expectations…unfortunately for you, they are married to each other X ) Seriously, though, go for what you want, the man of your dreams may show up one day. But I’d bet heavily against that happening for anybody.
As for the Magic Eye pictures, I’m really good at figuring those out within seconds. Here’s the trick: don’t listen to the explanation that comes with those pictures. To see those pics, what you need to do is focus your eyes past the point of where the picture is. As practice, put your hand about a foot from your computer screen. Focus on your hand, and slowly start to focus on the computer screen. Notice how your eyes relax a bit to focus on the computer screen — that’s exactly what you do with those Magic Eye pics. Let me know if it works.
