Boys like the bewbies.

Men will be attracted to the female from a healthy looking body, face, hair, and eyes. But the person is what sells the package. I'll marry a trustworthy, loyal, helpfull, friendly, courteous, kind, obediant, cheerful, thrift, brave, clean, and reverant women with ears that stick out rather than a stunningly beautiful female that wasn't all those qualities (as long as she had nice bewbies ).

Physical attraction always helps but if there is no brain up top...

Oh Lawdy, this ought to be good.  

I find it interesting that the women who post here usually start out with "don't lump us in with the few bad ones" and then follow that with "I don't get most women either; they're whacked in the head."  The fact is that MOST women, in the US at least, ARE whacked.  They have completely skewed priorities, let their emotions totally run their lives, have little sense of personal or financial responsibility, and their relationships are an utter wasteland.  That's the sad truth, and no one wishes it were not true more than I do.

Yes, we KNOW there are exceptions; many of us will only consider a serious relationship when we find one.  But many of the women here (perhaps Gabby aside) underestimate the percentage of women who are serious disasters.

Any guy can tell you that the "good ones", those "exceptions", get grabbed up quickly, so it's rare to find one who is single.  Some of the greatest, most attractive (to me) women I've ever met were dating or married to guys I considered "good guys" that I would never do anything to undermine.  Most of the remaining pool of women, you know, the ones that are "single", tend to be psycho or are carrying enough baggage to fill the Titanic.

Sure, there are plenty of crappy guys out there too.  I see women with them all the time, and know that those women must have had some serious problems growing up to put up with them.

Anyway, to answer your question: the most attractive quality in a woman to me is ATTITUDE.  I look for a woman who tends to see the good instead of the bad (without ignoring the fact that the bad exists), and who is generally happy in life.  Bitchy, moody, or perpetually sad women are not attractive.

Brains and beauty round out the selection.  A woman has to be able to discuss things other than shoe styles and who is banging who on Survivor.  She has to have some opinions of her own, even if I don't always agree.  She needs to be responsible to herself and for herself.  And then, looks will play a part, but I'm much more attracted to a "plain" girl with a great attitude than a "hot" girl who is a bitch or is irresponsible and needy.

Finally, sex should be mentioned.  Most men want sex, and plenty of it.  And most men are willing to take some direction or work with their ladies to improve their sex life, if need be.  But if a woman has no sex drive, or tries to use sex as a weapon, most men are going to be gone.  If a woman has a sex-related issue, she's going to need to work it out before she can expect to have a healthy relationship.  I've seen a lot of otherwise good relationships destroyed because the woman would withhold sex, and then guilt the guy to death because he wants some.

Don't take any of this stuff personally; if the shoe fits, wear it, and if not, ignore it.  I'm just telling you how it is.

And given the above, when a man can't find a good woman, is it really surprising that they start playing the "Man-Ho" game?  Men aren't going to go without some companionship...

Quoted: Eh...Unless you can prove that this behavior is genetic and solely based upon the XX chromosome and life in America combo, it has no basis in fact. In my life, I've met alot of whacked women. I've also met alot of whacked men. The problem is, the ones who are whacked usually snag an un-whacked and convert him/her to whacked-ness.

I never said that it was exclusive to women.  Tons of guys are whacked too, but this post was about women, not men (and the topic was chosen by a woman, remember).  I'm happy to talk about men, but let's make that another post.

My point is: if you look at the pool of SINGLE women, 70% or more of them are psycho.  You may not see it that way, because many of those women are good at hiding it, so that you wouldn't notice it in casual conversation.  And, not being a guy, you aren't likely to try to "get to know her" like we would.  If you did, you might find that there are a lot of women who LOOK like they are normal, responsible people on the surface, but when you start talking to them about REAL issues, you quickly learn that they are batshit insane.  And full of denial.

I don't say any of this to complain, and I certainly don't say it to belittle women.  I don't WANT them to be that way, and I've done what I could to help a few women through some of those issues.  But the question was asked "what do men look for in a woman?", and the answer, for a lot of us, is for those exceptions, who are sane, reasonable, responsible, and trustworthy.

And, for many men, until they can find one of those exceptions, they will just look for women who will put out, because few men will let the fact that they can't find a relationship-worthy woman to stop them from having sex and companionship.  That's the cold, hard truth.
