What Do Guys Look For In a Girl Friend?

The biggest dilemma women face when it comes to relationships is the other person’s expectations. Ever since we began falling in love, we constantly ask ourselves if we’re ever going to be good enough for them. But fret not, ladies! After talking to several men about town, we’ve uncovered just what men want in a potential girlfriend!

1. “She’s confident in her own skin”
There’s nothing sexier than a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. General Insurance Agent, Yumin, 26, says: “A woman with personality that shines through even in the rain is a keeper. A grown man wants someone who’ll grow with him, not someone to father their unresolved insecurities”. So ladies, work on that winning smile and your self-esteem with these tips.


2. “She’s independent”
A man who is ready to meet their match wants someone with her own personality and opinions, and one who can stand on her own two feet, even emotionally. Sure it’s okay to want a shoulder to cry on, but you can’t seem to function without your man, he’s probably going to head out the nearest exit.


3. “She knows what she wants in bed”
Engineering sales, Seah, 26, will tell you that it’s an incredible turn-on for a man when a woman knows what she wants in boudoir. “Men are very physical creatures and we love if a woman can channel that side of herself, especially in bed”. Don’t hide your sexuality and explore what your inner desires, ladies!


4. “She’s easy to get along with”
An important quality a guy looks for in a woman is her ability to get along with his friends and family. A great girlfriend will not only help your mother in the kitchen, but she’ll also make an effort to get to know your friends. “I don’t want my girlfriend telling me who I should or shouldn’t be friends with, or tell me to ditch the Lee Chong Wei Badminton game just to sit down with her. I want someone who knows how to give and take. That balance is priceless,” said 26-year-old Yung Lin.


5. “She’s smart and plays it cool”
“If there’s one thing more annoying than a bimbo attitude, it’s the overbearing intelligent chick who HAS to be correct all the time,” said Casper, 26. We know every woman has their own intelligent charm, but there’s no need for the entire world to know, right?


6. “I want an honest woman”
Trust is one of the most important aspect of a relationship, so even if you’re still in the early stages of dating, keep things open and honest, especially if you’re still in touch with your ex-boyfriends. Some may disagree to Alvin’s idea, but the 27-year-old feels that it’s probably a good idea that bygones remain bygones. “Call me old fashioned, but if you’ve broken up with someone, it’s not a smart idea to keep in touch. That only makes it harder for me to trust you”.


7. “She can be a dork and be happy about it”
Guys like girls who have a playful side to them. Whether it’s laughing at their own jokes or not taking themselves too seriously, men enjoy the company of women who seem to be more positive in life. “My ideal woman would be able to intrigue me with her mind and sense of humor,”says XP, 26.”A woman who knows how to turn something bad into something light-hearted is a piece of art waiting to be discovered”.
