What are woman’s preferences when choosing a mate?
Sorry men, unfortunately there is no simple answer. Even if you were to pinpoint exactly what a woman finds attractive at a moment of time, she would change her mind.
This makes it extremely difficult for men when seeking a relationship … or even casual sex.
Men only go through few hormonal changes during their lifetime, but a woman’s hormonal shifts and changes are much more frequent and severe. Men struggle to appreciate the severity of a woman’s monthly hormonal shifts and the resulting changes in behaviour.
A woman’s wants and priorities change constantly during her lifetime and even daily according to her monthly cycle.
Although a woman is wired to verbalise more than men, she will never clearly articulate what she wants. It is expected that a man should just know.
To complicate things further, society influenced by feminism tends to mask many of woman’s fundamental wants and desires that are considered unflattering – it is no wonder men are confused!
There is some good news for men that are trying to attract woman and unlock the mysteries of what she finds attractive. Numerous studies that have cracked the code and found that there are universal preferences most woman desire when it comes to choosing a man above others
So, what do woman find attractive in a man?
- Symmetry This trait is desirable by men as well. Symmetrical facial features are especially pleasing.
- Generously Men that regularly and freely gift her his resources are particularly desirable.
- Trustworthy A man must be committed to her and only her.

Interestingly, this shopping list of universal preferences that most woman desire in men applies to woman that are completely financially secure. This has particular interest to mid-life men that may be negotiating the market of a second-time relationship with woman that enjoy the security of resources from her previous relationships.
