From a woman's perspective what are some of the most desirous qualities in a man?

Russell Crowe, enough said. : )

It is really hard to speak for all women!! I can speak for some!!
Danger and excitement/fun/daring/, being bold and not shy, interesting and intellectual/smart, good conversationalist, having talent, standing out form other men, being funny, good looks/good hair/good fashion/good taste, liking animals, having a philosophy of equality with women and not trying to control them, not having a superiority complex--- a dose of humble, not lying--being honest and trustworthy, being a good listener and spending time with his woman, as in paying enough attention to her and caring about her and her life and her feelings, showing her she is most important to him in his life, having stuff in common/being able to relate, and also being independent--you don't need a LOT of money but being able to support yourself and take care of yourself. Probably having your own place, and car, and jobs are good. Also being deep, not shallow--having a philosophy, ethics, and religious/spiritual outlook.
Those are just some of the things I can think of, that I think at least many women and me like, I don't know if ALL of them.

I think it depends on the woman. We are not generic in our tastes. Truly, one size does not fit all. Now then, if you ask me what I like:

-Honesty, passion, intensity, inner strength, intelligence, and a sense of humor... (A nice bum doesn't hurt either)

I clicked on this by accident. However, since I was here, I read the comments. After seeing what SummerWind18 wrote, I'm getting a sex change. There is to much pressure being a man.

connection, sexual attraction and ability to calm her down with houmor

LMAO TONY53....sure it was an accident.

Anyway, I would have to say a sense of humor would be my first choice and of course honesty and a really nice smile.

There has to be that special spark. Things are then helped by gorgeous eyes, a nice smile, the ability to communicate (including about emotions), honesty and a sense of humour.

Dream on girls, dream on; some of us men are just ordinary guys with no hope among you lot!

There isn't any!

A Man who is able to understand the power that he has- and retains the self control, not to abuse it, but use it.

the size of his ****!

i agree with most of what summer wind 18 said then realize im bein too picky, so will settle for the 'wow factor' jus something you cant quite put your finger on. oh and call me shallow but would have to be HOT!!!

Openess about all of his weird ponderings. Not being overweight. Long, but well kept, hair. (Once you got me, it's ok if you lose the hair)

Honesty and... a man that express himself is downright sexy!

Honesty, sexual compatibility, great sense of humor, intelligent, caring, sweet, attractive, faithfulness, compassionate, have shared interests

Surely sense of humour!!!

I'm impressed by what the women wrote here not a one talking about "chivalry" and wanting her daddy to protect her, actually I thought the things you ladys wanted were prety reasonable , there are men like that arround why settle?
