For Men: 5 Traits Of A Great Girlfriend
Playing the field and keeping your options open may be a
whole lot of fun for some guys. But as maturity sets in, very few things can
surpass the joys of finding a good woman. So how do you know if she really is a
“keeper?” If she has the following 5 traits, you better hold on to her before some other guy comes along and steals her away.
1. Intelligence
Let’s face it–being with a woman that’s beautiful but dumb
gets old pretty fast. On the other hand, a great girlfriend can meet you at an
intellectual level, constantly surprise you, keep you on your toes and deepen
your attraction past the physical realm. An intelligent woman with a good sense
of humor won’t let you get bored of her because you’ll always find yourself
trying to figure out what she’s really thinking.
2. Independence
Dealing with a woman that can’t seem to function without you
will eventually make you feel like you’re suffocating in the relationship and
have you headed for the nearest exit. A real man should enjoy finding a good
woman who displays confidence, has a real life of her own, can stand on her own
both financially and emotionally and is happily going in her own positive
direction. An upside of dating this Alpha Female is knowing that she is
confident, she won’t rely on you for everything and she certainly isn’t looking
for men to solve all her problems.
3. Loyalty
A great girlfriend loves her man…flaws and all, and takes
the time to show him how much she appreciates him every day. This type of woman
is ready to go to war with you and take on whatever obstacle life presents.
She’s not the type that will be checking out other guys, but will keep her
attention focused on you, the man in her life. She’s a genuine person who
considers you in every situation and will be on your side no matter what.
4. Beauty
Whether or not she’s up for first prize in a beauty contest,
a great girlfriend is beautiful on the inside and the outside. She will not
only want to look good for you, but also for herself. This doesn’t mean that
she has to look like Halle Berry, but she should be so well put together that
you’ll be proud to have her on your arm and enjoy the sight of her in any
light.
5. She makes you want to be a better man
A great girlfriend inspires you to improve yourself without
even saying anything. Just being around her makes you want to better yourself.
She’ll make you want to do things like getting your finances in order and
keeping yourself up on the regular. She will lift you up when you need it and
provide constructive criticism to make you a better man.
