What women want in men?

Two of the most important things are honesty and sincerity.

I don't think that that is necessarily true. I personally look for a combination of traits. Of course good looks is part of the initial attraction, but a good looking guy who does not have the personality to go with it is unnattractive for me (and I can speak for most of my friends as well). Looks fade and the most important thing is that you end up with someone who you can love and trust. I don't think that financial well being is as much of a focal point today as in the past, because women are more independent professionally and financially than ever.

Well, actually I wasn't initially wowed by my fiance's physical appearance.  We met online as a matter of fact and the pic he had wasn't that great.  I did love his profile and after we talked for awhile on the phone we met in person.  He was completely different from the physical type of guy I had dated before, but the moment we locked eyes I knew he was the one for me.  And kissing him?  Fireworks.  Its not all about looks.  A guy's personality is #1, although there does have to be some physical attraction, its not the most important thing for a lot of women I know.  There are shallow people out there unfortunately who are focused only on looks.   I agree that honesty and sincerity are important, along with romance and passion!

Compassion.  A great sense of humor.  A Genuine personality. Intellect.  And, yeah, I'll admit it, we're shallow. Good looks will get you really far at first, but if you CAN'T support those looks with the intelligence, personality, etc, then you're out.   We can spot a fake a mile away.  If we detect any hint of "skeezeball" from you, we don't trust you as far as we can throw you.
