Although most of these refer to both genders, and they're appealing to both sexes, I'm going to talk about traits that women find appealing in men. As I'm sure you're smart people, you're going to recognize quite a few of these as desirable indeed.
He's a MAN
What makes a man appealing is, first and foremost, that he's a man.
[The rest refer to both genders.]
He's a problem SOLVER
He lives his life, doesn't blame others for his problems, but learns how to deal with them as they arise. This isn't a trait exclusive to men, of course, you have to be your own problem solver.
He's STRONG
Both physically and psychologically. He's the rock you lean on. Also - you have to be his rock as well. Support each other.
He's INDEPENDENT
The less you depend on others and the more you can take care of yourself, the more appealing you're going to be.
He's AMBITIOUS
He know what he wants and he goes after it. He works hard to be successful and doesn't give up easily.
He's RATIONAL
He isn't a dreamer, he sees things as they are so he can make the best and most useful decisions moving forward. Of course, this doesn't mean he's devoid of feeling...he just knows when to use his head instead of his heart to get the best result possible for himself and the people he loves.
P.S. I realize these aren't the romanticized notions of relationships - of what a perfect specimen should be... You see, things in life aren't measured by rose petals, but by quality time you spend with each other and the feelings you share and obstacles you overcome.
Though at the end of the day what is most appealing to all girls is illusion that a guy who is hot might be all that she dreamed.
I know many guys who do well by just not speaking a lot and letting the girl draw her fantasy conclusions of what his actions mean (which tend to be more positive the hotter he looks and more negative the less hot) whilst looking out for actions which bring negative suggestion. Then the girl can dream this means he's a rational, strong, ambitious, problem solver.
What is beneath all those things though is the general perception that a guy is going to be a success (or not a looser).
who are you to tell men what should make them appealing? they should be themselves no matter if they are desirable to us or not as long as they don't hurt others. as for the "rationality" part thanks God "irrational dreamers" are those who progress and take humanity forward. "rational that makes the best out of the cold practical facts" sounds something a gold digger would say. and no wonder most men see us as such... .
I could write an entirely true rebuttal to this that you would take amazing offense to but I don't feel like it. It's too early on a Monday for me to be being a smart ass. Good take. You did miss a couple things though. Others pointed them out so I won't bother.
For one, money isn't listed anywhere in this, for two she states that most of these things appeal to both sexes. So I don't think she was implying that the women don't have to hold themselves to the same standard (although some other people may believe that).
@19magic "So you prefer, a woman who relies on you to solve all your problems. Got ya.."
Nah you don't got me. I'm saying it neither here or there. I don't care and most men either. It's kind of like how men aren't anal about how much money a woman makes.
I'd rather be in love and poor than rich, but yeah I do get ya, a lot of females prefer big paychecks because of safety with kids and college or something.
You forgot, that he drives a sports car and owns a villa with swimming pool ;) Then the reason why his wife married him is because of his confidence :P
Yeah, that's true, but what about those men who are not ambitious, rational, independent, strong and problem solvers? Cause there are lots of such guys who don't fit the description, I know several of them :P
The white girl using pictures of white male and white woman when supported all comments, fantasies of black men, Asian boy, everything against white male.
