A woman doesn’t want much from a man. Believe it or not, she likes to keep it simple in this area. Here are four simple, yet profound, things she wants in a life partner. Although these qualities can sometimes be hard to come by, they are qualities of which every man is capable. These four things are not out of any man’s reach, yet the fact is that most lack at least one.
And at the end of the day, to a woman, that’s all that matters.

However, there are plenty of men who are sufficient in each of these categories, not perfectly, but sufficient enough to make a woman incredibly happy. And at the end of the day, to a woman, that’s all that matters, right?

1. Honesty
A woman doesn’t want a man to lie to her when it comes to important matters. She wants him to be upfront and honest, holding nothing back. She wants to be an important part of his life, in fact, the most important part. She wants to know the things that are going on in his life, and she wants him to have trust in her. As far as she is concerned, they are one–his life is her life.
On the other hand, she doesn’t want the truth in all circumstances. Brutal honesty isn’t wanted. Again, she wants him to be honest–only not too much. She also doesn’t want him to feel that he has to lie, because when that is the case, it usually means that he was stepping out of line, making poor choices and mistakes.
So when she asks the beloved question, “how do I look?” be sincere and let her know she is beautiful. Honesty doesn’t have to be brutal, but it does have to be sincere. Keep it light. While lying is not the goal here, picking your battles is. Starting World War III at dinner doesn’t make for a very good meal or time afterwards.
2. Caring
Guys, your woman needs to know that she matters to you. While you may show this in some ways already, just know how important it is for her to feel like she is important to you. Generally speaking, to be cared for means not to go at it alone in this life. Most people are forced to care for themselves, and the truth is that it’s a lot more difficult than people would want to admit.
She wants you to be there for her to help share her burden. This may sound a bit silly, but she wants you to make her life a little easier. She may not want an answer to her problem at that very moment, but simply an ear to listen. In this situation, there’s only one thing to do: Oblige her. Showing that you care and are interested makes her feel loved. The upside of this is knowing she will be there for you when your time comes.
3. Security
This is both financially and literally. This doesn’t mean that you have to be a millionaire. Well, for some women, you may very well need to be, but hopefully you’ll end up with one who admires the qualities it takes for you to become a millionaire rather than money alone. In general, the right woman will love you for you, but she does need you to make her feel secure.
She wants to feel that you will protect her from physical and emotional harm. Most importantly, she wants to know that you’ll defend her and keep her safe, healthy and comfortable. If ever out in public and the occasion warrants, defending her is top on her list. Does she need you to keep her safe? To bring home the bacon? No. But she’d like you to be able to do so if necessary–regardless if she makes more money than you. To her, that’s not important because you all are a team. She’ll have your back just as much as you’ll have hers.
4. Loyalty
She wants to be the only woman he has eyes for.

Call it ego or feeling oneself, we all want to feel special. No one wants not to be liked. We want to feel unique and better than the rest. By nature we can be competitive, both men and women alike. Women want a man who sees the world in her. Her and only her.
She wants to be the only woman he has eyes for. She knows she’s not the most beautiful or smartest woman in the world, but she doesn’t need to be–she’s not delusional. She just wants you to think–know –that she’s the most beautiful, best woman in the world for you.
♦◊♦
She needs you to think she is the greatest thing that ever happened to you. She wants to be the best for you, and she wants a man who will give her that title.
