15 Things Guys Look For In A Girlfriend

There are two categories: women who are suitable for a casual fling, and women who are suitable for a more serious relationship. Even men who typically prefer to remain single may openly discuss the qualities they desire in a partner. If you possess the following traits, you are likely to be considered a desirable partner by most men (or at least some men):

1. You're A Good Cook

The saying "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" holds a surprising amount of validity. Women who possess excellent culinary skills are likely to make a lasting impression on men, particularly those who appreciate good food. It may come as a surprise, but this single talent could even be the determining factor in whether a woman is considered dating material or potential spouse material.

2. You Have A Career

For the most part, the notion that men should earn more than women is no longer prevalent among today's society. Few men would be interested in pursuing a relationship if they were solely responsible for financial support, regardless of circumstances. Even having a part-time job can significantly impact how a man perceives you.

3. You've Got Your Act Together

Being in the company of a relaxed and unpretentious woman can be incredibly soothing, regardless of the situation. Such qualities are often indicative of someone who would make a great long-term partner, commonly referred to as "wifey material."

4. You Know How To Stand Up For Yourself

Surprisingly, men do not find doormats attractive or worthy of respect, and they certainly don't want to date one. A lack of resistance and a failure to present any challenge during the chase can make the pursuit less exciting for men. It really is as simple as that.

5. You Know How To Have Fun

Being playful and flirty is an endearing quality that signifies liveliness and happiness. It can be a fantastic characteristic for a girlfriend to possess.

6. You're "ride Or Die" Loyal

In essence, men do not wish to be with a woman whom they believe will readily switch partners if someone better comes along. They prefer a partner who will stay committed through all the ups and downs of the relationship.

7. You're Not Materialistic

Many men are concerned about being regarded as nothing more than a source of money, and they are even more apprehensive about being in a relationship with a woman who values money more than she values them. This issue can sometimes leave men feeling resentful. To impress a man, demonstrate that you aren't materialistic.

8. You Know How To Take Care Of Herself

For many men, the idea of marrying a woman who does not take care of herself physically is a genuine concern. It may seem shallow, but it is a valid worry for some. They would like to see their partner maintain the same level of physical fitness and attractiveness as when they first met. Is it really such a bad thing to want?

9. You're Honest

If a man cannot trust you, what incentive does he have to pursue a romantic relationship with you?

10. You're Tidy And Clean Up After Yourself

To be frank, nobody enjoys returning to a home that is dirty, messy, and filled with clutter. You don't have to be an immaculate housekeeper like Martha Stewart, but it's advisable to maintain a reasonably neat and organized living space in your bachelorette pad.

11. You're Presentable

Courtney Love's single status is partly due to the fact that men desire someone who they can introduce to their family and proudly display in public.

12. You Value Your Independence

Women who are self-sufficient, possess a fascinating personal history, and can handle life's challenges on their own will always surpass those who are co-dependent. Unfortunately, many men are unable to differentiate between an independent but vulnerable woman and a co-dependent one.

13. You're Someone He Can Take Home To Meet His Family

Being forced to choose between friends and family is an unpleasant experience for anyone. If you have the support and approval of your partner's friends and family, you're well on your way to becoming his girlfriend.

14. You've Got A Killer Sense Of Humor

After all, who doesn't require a good laugh every now and then?

15. You've Got Confidence In Spades

It's an enchanting term in the realm of dating, but if you're a regular reader of The Bolde, you're probably already aware of that!
