I will reluctantly respond to your simple yet complex question. In an attempt to help you reach a higher plateau and succeed in dating a 'worthy' woman. Personally I look for simialr attributes as your friend mentioned, although a nice butt and toned abs do wonders for me.
Money/J.O.B. is indeed important. Sorry to say, most women myself included do feel the need to have a man make more money that we do. Woman have risen to be great powerhouses in the world, and seem to be the over achievers of the society, no longer finding satisfaction is making minimum wage. Ultimately however, we still like men to fork the bill, and support some of our often times expense taste. I need not metion intelligence in this lil survey since intelligence is a neccessity to have a well paying job.
Personal hygiene. A very important aspect. A man that is well groomed, and well dressed is a major turn on. Nice military cut, clean shaven, a great cologne, and great, fashionable clothes. Note...CKs and a white tee with white tennis shoes, will always attrack women as well, if you have the body for it.
Competitive. Personally, I coach and play basketball, and enjoy all outdoor activities. Due to this, I enjoy a man that can compete with me physically, not only in the bedroom, but outside as well. Of course, they must be a good sport, when I do whip their butts a majority of the time.
Sense of Direction. Someone who knows what they want, and how they are going to get it, is a major turn-on...*Refer back to Money/J.O.B. if you are confused on this one* Somone who sets their sights on realistic dreams and does something to achieve them, is a doer, someone that 'continually' fantasies is simply a dreamer, and is always lost in their own lil world. Thus, they will never enjoy a world with their significant other. Nothing wrong with a lil dreaming, but keep it real. Of course, deciphering the difference between what is real and what is a dream, plays into ones intelligence.
A Daredevil. Natural highs are a great turn on. Bridge jumping, ski diving, skiing from large vertical drops, etc., etc.. adds so much to a romance, when two are participating in feats that they accomplish together. Of course for some out there, due to physical impairments, or pure laziness you may never feel the incredible high of doing 'dangerous activities'. To each his or her own I guess.
*Note....these are My own personal turn-ons, and are not meant to imply that ALL women are turned on by such things. So please do not jump out of an airplane to impress your current girlfriend, if you have no idea what you are doing....just thought I would add that, for those of you out there that are considering such acts...*
I did leave out a big penis...been there, done that...think MOTION guys, and you are set, even when you are lacking in that one department. On the other hand, if you are blessed with a big one, still think it! We can't feel ya if ya don't at least give us a lil motion....which is why vibrators, ..... vibrate!
