There are general things that we all want to know about our date before we decide to take a relationship further than casual conversation. It can be useful to identify some of these, gender-specific ones. Here are the top ten things that men want to know about women.
10. A sense of humor can be very important to men and knowing if a woman has much of one (or a good one at that) can be a make or break attribute.
9. A woman’s relationship with her friends can be very telling too. Men want to know what your friends are like, how much time you spend with them and how their personalities reflect on your own.
8. Your occupation is significant in that it lets a man know what your goals, interests and level of education are all in one shot. A job can tell a whole lot about you (even if you don’t want it to) just by acting as one of the first big “labels” attached to you when it’s shared.
7. Opinions on all sorts of topics are important to most men and the majority of them will be curious to hear where their partner stands on all sorts of issues, from the Iraq War to the never-ending debate between boxers and briefs.
6. A woman’s hobbies and interests can tell a man a lot about what kind of partner they could potentially become as well. How a woman spends her time describes a lot about her personality. Men don’t necessarily want to know if they share all of the same hobbies with a potential partner but they do like to know how a woman likes to spend her time.
5. Their relationships with their parents and the rest of a woman’s family can be important too. An overbearing mother, father, sister or brother can be a real deal breaker for some men but a completely estranged family may set off some warning lights as well.
4. Men usually like to know the living situation of their potential partner before things go too far either. Much like the point listed above, a living situation can demonstrate a lot regarding a woman’s level of independence. Still rooming at the parents past high school or university/college can be a big turn-off for one example.
3. Goals for the future let a man know a lot about a woman’s character and what makes her tick. Having some plans past what you’re currently doing shows what your hopes and dreams are and if that is compatible with the man’s goals.
2. Past relationships can be important for many men, even if they don’t want to admit it. They can tell a lot about what to expect in the future. Just the same, most men don’t want to know every single detail regarding exes.
1. What they wish to achieve from a relationship is ultimately the most common thing that men want to know about women they’re interested in. Some of the worst break-ups can come about out of misunderstandings regarding goals so it’s always a good idea to share these up front and honestly.
Keep in mind that the above tips are mostly general and depend greatly on the person in question. Regardless, this list can be a great set of topics to keep in mind when you’re dating and curious to think of what may be on your potential partner’s mind.
