Whats the most important thing a woman wants from a man?

Supportive, Caring, Intelligent, Funny, Able to Stand Up for Himself, Trustworthy, Sense of Self-Worth without being Egotistical, True Compatibility/Companionship, Empathetic.

Note: Handsome and Rich are not listed in what I'm looking for in a guy.

Looks fade over time. I have a job and can support myself. I don't NEED a man in my life, I WANT a man in my life. One whom I can enjoy my declining years with after we've kicked up our heels a bit. What fun is reminiscing if you don't have someone to reminisce WITH?!? ; ) And, if he has many of the traits I'm looking for, we'll be very much alike. Probably best friends. Wouldn't it be great to sit on the porch with your best friend, thinking about all of the fun you had? I think it would be lovely.

As far as I can tell many women (including me) consider intelligence the most important thing in men. Sense of humor, stability, kindness, even temper are also important.

I think the most important things that women are looking for from men are stability, a caring personality, a sense of humor and ambition. I like my men to be independent, trustworthy and loving. It's hard to find all of these things, but sometimes you just get lucky. :-)
