what men and women seek in a mate


Typically when we seek out for someone that we want, we look for someone who is healthy, intelligent, honest, physically attractive and someone that is like themselves. However, women have other interest that we pay attention to. For example, we want someone that will be a good provider, we want someone that has a commitment and wont leave as soon as a problem arises or something unplanned comes into the picture. Men want a woman who has a life of her own and is self sufficient and who can contribute towards their growth and make the relationship stronger. We don't want to leave all the responsibility for the men, but we want to know that we can count on them to know how committed he really is, after all a relationship consists of two people not just one.
Another interesting fact is that a women is also much more likely to reject a man because of his smell.  A reason is that the odor relates to the gene that controls the immune system and if his odor is similar to hers then this may not work. Not only do we relate the smell to the immune system, but we want someone whose hygiene is well taken care of. Its a way to be presentable all the time. 
one thing that both men and women have in common while seeking out for a mate, is that we both want someone that can be there for us, we want a friend who we can be ourselves with and share him or her what we want or may be going through. A woman can be her man's best friend with whom he can share his problems and hope to get positive solutions, and we hope we get this from a man as well.
Men and women are looking for a woman who is fun to be with, who can enjoy various leisure activities and share his interests. A relationship need not be serious; it should be an enjoyable experience so that you look forward to build it long term.

 So overall men typically look for this in a woman:
  • A trusting partner
  • Someone on same mental wavelength
  • Fun and enjoyment
  • Independent and confident woman
  • a friend
  • a woman with feminine sensuality
  • physical attraction  Women in the other hand look for this in a man:
  • ambitious
  • reliable
  • intelligent
  • physical attraction

  1. I find it interesting that women in the 21st century are very motivated to successful and able to provide for themselves. I also find it interesting how there is less and less people getting married and by choice. Is there any correlation of the two? But, even with that said, women do seek men who are ambitious and driven. It seems to be something innate in us (human beings) to be attracted to exactly the things on your list. Nice job
