What Makes A Great Girlfriend? Know Some Traits That Make Them Closer To You!

Today, professional and successful men are in hot pursuit of smart, funny, independent, spontaneous, and very sexy women. Men no longer settle for such raw deals. So what makes a woman a great catch?

10. She’s independent. No one wants a girlfriend they have to baby-sit. In other words, a woman isn’t waiting for some man to show up, so you can get your "real life" started means that you take care of yourself, pay attention to your personal style and find time to hang with your fabulous friends and family. This means you have your own separate life other that having your whole world revolve around him.

9. She’s intelligent. An intelligent woman will constantly surprise men and keep you on your toes. She won’t let you get bored of her. Intelligence can also be an intimidating factor in a relationship, but on the whole, a man wants and prefers a woman with opinion and her own point of view.

8. She’s sexual. While we’re on the topic, a great girlfriend has to be sexually compatible with you. The two of you have to be on the same page. Of course, this doesn’t imply that she has to know all the right moves straight away; it simply means that you and she have an undeniable attraction toward each other, and are able to communicate your desires verbally (or with physical cues).

7. She’s beautiful. This one is kind of obvious, but important nonetheless. A great girlfriend will not only want to look good for you, but also for herself. She should always look her best and be well put together. But this doesn’t mean that only those deemed “beautiful" are the only ones licensed to have a boyfriend. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

6. She respects you. This is also very important is a relationship. A woman must also respect a man. This means that she listens, even if she doesn’t necessarily agree with what men are saying. A great girlfriend won’t ever cause scenes in public or in front of your friends and family, and will always wait to discuss matters with men in private. Being respectful is also a way to show a diplomatic and tactful behaviour in most situations, which is definitely a good thing.

5. She lets you be a man. A good girlfriend lets a guy be a guy in all his glory, poker night and all. Men and women are different and women are liable to allow men to be themselves. Compromising with each other’s situations is essential in a lasting relationship.

4. She’s nagless. There is nothing worse than a nag! A great girlfriend knows this and chooses her battles wisely. She knows when to speak up and when to let it slide. Know when and where to put those motherly instincts in better use, and better situations.

3. She gets along with friends and family. A great girlfriend will not only help mom in the kitchen, listen to dad’s stories and hang out with friends, but she will enjoy it. She’ll make a real effort to get to know and love the most important people in your life. And she won’t try to get you to ditch your best buds. This only means that you accept him in his entirely.  

2. She loves you. If you have found a woman who loves you for who you really are and not who you pretend or try to be sometimes, you should definitely hang on to her. A woman who doesn’t try to change you is hard to find. Of course, all women have their slightly annoying habits that their mate has to contend with, but if she really loves you, she will be able to cope with these.

1. She makes you want to be a better man. She doesn’t have to say or do anything; it just is that way. If you suddenly feel bad about how you treated your sister or find yourself trying to get your finances in order, you might want to think about your motivation for doing so. It could be love.

So, if this list seems to describe your current flame, you, my friend, are styling. In fact, you are probably the envy of all of your friends, even if they tease you for losing your status as "king player." However, if the woman you are dating is more like the polar opposite, then I don't think that getting serious with her would be in your best interest -- but you knew that already, didn't you?
