Question

For Women: what is Important to you In a Man and what do you think modern men need more of these days?

Answer 1

I love a sense of humor, and I want someone who will prioritize my needs.  I'm independent but when I need help, I need help, and I want to be able to trust that my mate will provide it to me.

Hmmm.. I guess what I'm talking about is reliability?  I do like men who are reliable and responsible.

If I were to generalize the modern man, and I'm not necessarily talking about just men here, I do think that people have stopped helping each other and want friends/ lovers to come without needs.

Answer 2

What's important to me is intelligence, kindness, and a sense of humor.  I don't think modern men in general need more of anything in particular, although it may vary depending upon the individual.

Answer 3

What is important to me in a man:

Since I am old fashioned, I believe in a good old fashioned man.  No botox or waxed eyebrows. Almost like John Wayne.  A bottom line man.  He needs to know what he believes in and not be afraid to stand up for it.  Not necessarily judgmental, but knows right from wrong. He also needs to be a good listener.  There might be something he can learn from listening.  He needs to be accountable for his actions...honest.  I like the good old fashioned Puritan work ethics.  No sittin' on his booty playing video games for hours.  How about getting his hands dirty working on cars or in a vegetable garden...doing something useful. A beer here and there is fine too. Yet, I like a man who is not afraid to say grace over the evening meal.  A man who knows where all good things come from...the good Lord. Not haughty and proud in his beliefs, but humble in them.  A man who can cherish a woman for being virtuous, not drawn in by sleazy broads..  He knows what waits behind closed doors with a good woman, and is happy to keep it there. It goes with out saying that he will honor his marriage vows, etc. Sensitive to his relationship.  Understanding that the relationship is an entity in itself.  It is the untouchable thing that is born of a man and woman uniting.  When he makes a sacrifice, it is not for her, per say, it is for the relationship. This goes for her as well.

What modern men need more of these days:  

The women libbers have brought about many changes during the last several decades.  Unfortunately, not all of them have been for good.  The biggest wrong done to men, has been to turn the tide against them.  Men need to be respected.  Men also have a built in urge to help and protect those weaker than themselves.  The libbers have told society that we don't need big stupid men to take care of us.  Perhaps we women can go it alone.  However, with a spirit of cooperation and respect (on the females part), we can have much better and fuller lives than if we go it alone.  It is sad what our modern society has done to good men.  A true gentleman is a "gentle man".  Not a feminised guy with a desperate need to be liked by silly women.  Personally, I think things were better when men and women needed each other.  We had to get along in order to survive.  Now, we are all so spoiled and don't need anyone, that sayings like "bro's before h*'s" is not questioned by many of our youth. A womans need to compete with men (and to be seen as nothing more than good in the sack) has backfired.  I hope we can straighten it out before we forget what it's supposed to be like.  I think Brad Paisley knows what's up with "I'm still a guy".  check it out on you tube

Answer 4

A man must respect himself and others,he must stand up for himself, and others if needed.

He has to have ambitions too, and has to be  a nice guy who's genuine.

Those quality's can go for people in general not just men.

Oh, and honesty that's very important too.

Lastly a man, must be himself, make his own decisions and  he must not be prejudice against women, homosexuals, people of different races and etc.

He cant be arrogant either!

Answer 5

What I consider to be important qualities in a man are honesty, commitment, intelligence, a good sense of humor, confidence,  compassion and strong convictions.

If you're asking what men need more of from a woman...I think  men need more respect, sense of self worth, peace, support, commitment, understanding,  acceptance and s*x.

Answer 6

What is important in a man is self-awareness so that going into a relationship, he knows what he wants.  There is a definite lack of self-awareness in contemporary men because they have no real definition in society; life is a blurry confusion in all realms--employment, relationships, family, and so on.  As Tyler Durden would have it, men are "the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. [They] have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war…our Great Depression is our lives."   At a time characterized by moral ambiguity and fuzzy notions of propriety, self-awareness is difficult.

Given the current climate for men in North America, what each man needs to do is know himself, know absolutely what he wants and what he is willing to do to get it.  A man who knows what he wants and, more importantly, who he is, holds a lot of appeal.  He walks with confidence and doesn't feel the need to be deceitful; he has integrity and is comfortable in his own skin.  He can laugh, he can cry, whatever's appropriate; he can stumble and get right back up again--and help the people in his life do the same.  He is solid, but he's not immovable.

Answer 7

Beer and more Doritos for sharing when the footy's on.

Answer 8

A sense of humour, an ability to listen and the ability to give me my space.

What modern man needs more of is the ability to do housework to an acceptable standard. I am lucky I have found one of those gems that can. Oh and we really share the household 40/40/20 (him, me and the cleaning lady)
