There
are so many great men
out there that have the qualities we really need, if only we can look past
their quirks. From one imperfect and sometimes picky lady to another, these are
qualities in a man you should really be looking for:
1. He is straightforward
He
isn’t afraid to tell you “how it is”, and at first, this is a hard quality to
come to terms with. We are so used to living in a passive-aggressive world
where we shrug things off, or just say “It’s okay” and let the emotions fester.
A straightforward and honest man wants to really know what’s wrong because he
wants to help. Unfortunately with this comes “tough love”, because you are
going to hear things that you really don’t want to here. But, in the long run
its best to here it head on and deal with it.
2. He
can laugh at himself
Life is
tough, and it’s even tougher if you take it too seriously. That’s why it’s
important to have a co-pilot who isn’t afraid to laugh at himself when things
go to hell. Why? Because fit hits the shan more often than not, and would
you rather be with Gordon Ramsay or Seth Rogen when you get in a fender bender
on the way to your boyfriend’s promotion party?
3. He
is generous with his time
It is a
cliché, but we women like things—flowers,
shoes, jewellery, chocolate. So when that Hallmark holiday rolls around we
expect our man to give us these things and If he doesn’t deliver, he obviously
doesn’t care about our relationship.
This
couldn’t be further from the truth!
Men who
give their time rather
than money are
rarities. A man who will give you his attention is more precious than that
Coach bag you’ve been coveting. Contrary to popular culture, being frugal with
your money is important, because if you are going to be with someone for the
long haul, you want to know you will be financially set. A man who values time
and memories over material things is priceless.
4. He
is compassionate
One of
the most powerful emotions is empathy, or the ability to comprehend and embrace
someone else’s trials or jubilation. A man who can understand your sorrow but
also take joy in your joy is beautiful. He always tries to put himself in other
people’s shoes so he can see the world as it is, and do his best to move forth
in a positive manner.
5. He
learns from his mistakes
By
default, we humans are all imperfect creatures and make more mistakes than we
will ever admit. Given that, the best quality a man can possess is the ability
to say “I was wrong” and to move forward to fix it. The greatest minds in the
world and the most successful entrepreneurs have experienced failure and
defeat, but instead of hiding from it, they openly embrace it. A good man will
admit he is wrong, a great man will admit he is wrong and will become a better
person because of it.
I just hope guys don't beat me up for this..lols
