12 Things Every Woman Should Hold Out For

Every woman has her own expectations from her partner, and all women have their own character traits that they find attractive in a potential mate. Unfortunately, some women make the mistake of not being able to look deep enough to find the positive attributes that can give a relationship more meaning. Some women can’t see beyond the book’s cover, and end up engaging in a relationship based on superficial factors. These relationships never have the staying power to make it through the long haul.

What should you definitely look for in a potential partner?

Good Looks

Good looks may be subjective to a large extent, but physical attraction is important. That feeling you get when an attractive man walks into the room is nature’s way of signaling to you that you may have a strong physical chemistry with him. Chemistry is important, but it won’t go very far if the guy does not have other important qualities as well. Beauty has to run deep, and no matter how attracted you are to his outer beauty, if he is not a good person on the inside, then it’s time to move on.

Financially Stable

And while there’s nothing wrong with dating a man who has money, it should never be the main criteria on your list of things you want in a man. Money without substance is not enough to make a relationship last. Material goods will only go so far, and all the exotic vacations, diamonds and pearls in the world won’t make up for a man who is never there or one who treats you poorly when he is.
