Men have been trying to figure out for centuries what women want! Women
may be complicated creatures, but when it comes down to what they want,
it’s pretty basic. For all those men who just don’t have a clue, here
are the top five female turn-ons. Now you’ll know what that special
woman in your life is looking for.

1) Sense of Humor

Women
appreciate a man with an intelligent sense of humor. In fact, a few
witty jokes can really make a woman take a second, longer look at a
man! One thing you should remember (especially if you’ve just met a
woman) is that crude or nasty jokes do not impress her! In fact, she’ll
end up putting you in her mental category of “13-year-olds!” However,
if you possess an intelligent sense of humor and you can make her
laugh, you’re on the right track.
2) Honesty

Honesty
is another big turn-on for women. While some men think they have to
tell little white lies to keep women happy, it’s just not true for the
majority of women. If a woman knows that her man is honest, she can
trust him when it comes to the important topics.

However, if
she knows that he only says things to placate her, she will go to
someone else for the important things! Remember that women are big
girls and they can handle honesty ' in fact, what they can’t handle is
a man who, for one reason or another, will not tell them the truth. By
the way, honesty is always complemented by tactfulness!

3) Appearance

It’s
not true that every woman is looking for her own Brad Pitt or a George
Clooney. Every woman has her own personal preference when it comes to
the looks department ' some women love bald men, while others love long
hair. Whether you’re muscular, thin, tall, short, bearded or not '
there is a woman out there who will find you incredibly sexy. However,
most women agree that a man who takes care of himself is a huge
turn-on.

Don’t worry, men ' this doesn’t mean you have to
start moisturizing, but there are a few things women really love. For
instance, choosing the right cologne can really make a difference!
Women love for their men to smell great. You don’t have to get a
personal stylist, but take your time choosing “date” clothes that look
great on you. When you take just a few minutes extra to get ready for
your woman, she will notice and she will love it.

4) Strength and Sensitivity?

That’s
right ' women appreciate a balance of strength and sensitivity in men.
It’s in a woman’s nature to look for a man who is strong enough to
protect her, but who can also show his emotions. She wants to know that
she can rely on you to be there when the going gets tough and that you
won’t have any problems discussing the way you’re feeling with her.

Don’t
worry ' women don’t usually expect their men to grab a box of tissues
and start “boohooing,” but if something upsets you, talk to her about
it. She will like the fact that you feel secure and safe enough to talk
to her about the way you feel. Just remember that the woman in the
relationship should be the more emotional, by far ' there goes that
strength thing again!

5) Respect

If
you respect women, they will respect you. In fact, they will love you!
Respect can be shown in many different ways. For instance, when she’s
talking to you, listen to her and really pay attention to what she’s
saying. If she wants a night out with the girls, respect her space and
enjoy yourself with the guys. Remember and respect the fact that she’s
an individual.

While respecting a woman does not mean that you
have to fulfill her every wish, it does mean that you should consider
her an equal, consider her feelings and respect her decisions. If you
show this kind of respect for women, most of them will show you equal
respect ' and you can be sure that they will notice what a great guy
you are!

Each woman has her own ideas about what she wants in
a man ' the same way that men have their preferences and personal likes
and dislikes. However, the top five female turn-ons above are common
interests that most women will agree on.

While one man’s heaven may be
another man’s hell, there are a few dating basics that are virtually
guaranteed to be turn-ons for most men. Here are the top five.

1) SEX
A
man finds sex a turn-on ' who’d have thought? Despite their stereotype,
when it comes to sex, men want quality. More specifically, they want
you to want them. They’d like you to share the responsibility for
making the first move, to show them you find them attractive. And
remember, a good sex life is rooted in communication, so get talking.

2) ATTRACTIVENESS
More
tales of the glaringly obvious, right? But while everyone’s ideas of
what is and isn’t attractive may vary, a man always appreciates it when
a woman has made ' and continues to make ' an effort to look good. He
doesn’t always need to see you in your Sunday best ' in fact, in many
cases, just a well-fitting pair of jeans and a nice top will do the
trick ' but the more pride you have in your appearance, the more he’ll
have in it, too. This isn’t an excuse to compromise your personal
style, but make a point to ask him what he thinks of what you’re
wearing, find out what he thinks of your hairstyle and get some
feedback on your new perfume. And make sure you insist on a truthful
reply.

3) LOVE
Men
may appear to have an aversion to the word itself, but at the end of
the day, they want plenty of l-o-v-e, too. He longs to see it in your
eyes, hear it in your words and feel it in your touch: that unspoken '
OK, and spoken, too ' message that he is your one and only. Text it,
email it and say it without saying it. He may not show it, but he’ll be
turned on by the sentiment, and he’ll surely take it all in.

4) CONVERSATION
Again,
while this may be contrary to popular belief, a man wants to know what
you think. Whether it’s politics, dinner, the cinema, TV or whatever, a
man is turned on by a woman with an opinion ' someone to spar with,
someone with whom to exchange ideas. While looks certainly can go a
long way, conversation will keep him hooked and interested and will
feed back into your beauty. If you can add a witty comment or two to
your conversation, it’s the ultimate double whammy ' interesting AND
funny. Not for nothing do personals always list “GSOH” (”good sense of
humor”) high up there among the qualities that men are looking for in a
woman.

5) TRUST
The
freedom that a man feels when you truly trust him works like an
aphrodisiac. Just because he’s discovered the wonder of you doesn’t
mean that he’s abandoned all interest in his former passions; he’ll
need to feel that he’s still able to, say, enjoy those poker nights
with the boys ' without the dark shadow of mistrust clouding his “me
time.” Whether it’s a hobby or a passion, let him indulge himself ' and
look happy about it, too. Similarly, he needs to feel that he can trust
you. He should be confident in the knowledge that wherever your lives
take you and whomever you’re sharing your life with outside your
relationship, that relationship remains sacred. Jealousy is like a
fungus that can eat away at the foundations of a relationship; be sure
to kill it before it takes hold.
