This is not about abstract, ambiguous qualities. What specific, measurable and tangible qualities do men generally desire in the woman they would marry.

I think there are some standard and specific qualities that men generally desire in a woman they'll want as their wife. This is not to imply that there aren't men who don't prioritise the qualities on this list. There are, but they are the exceptions not the rule. Also this list makes the assumption that the man in question is a traditional man (who has acquired competence and the resources to provide, protect and lead). Such men typically seek a traditional woman with the following qualities.

Fitness and looks. It's a known fact that men are visual. While looks is not all that matters, with most men, it's the ticket that admits you to the dance.

Youth. The majority of such men prefer women who are in the prime of their womanhood. There are some obvious reasons for this such as youth being strongly tried to the other two points on this list. Looks and fertility for humans (not just women) decline with age. But there is also a crucial but understated one: men's natural inclination and satisfaction derived from being able to impress their woman and provide or share her first experiences; first house, first child, first trips to holiday destinations, first house, first car and so on. A woman in the prime of her womanhood has less life experiences and resources gathered, hence is more available for new experiences.

Fertility. Most men desire to start a family and have their own children and most women desire this with women who don't already have children. This is closely related to the earlier point.

The other qualities are femininity, submission and an ability to cooperate.

This topic can't be overemphasized enough, but also they are different opinions or wants from different men, what could be other man's needs in a woman could be different than the next. However here's some of the qualities i 'think' most men might agree with.

1) Home-maker: Men adore women who can take care of them and their kids on days that aren't able to. A woman who can be relied on and someone who you can build and share your dreams with.

 

2) A Personal Advisor: someone who you can share your views with and they can comprehend topics you bring to the table incase you need clarity and also unbiased opinions.

 

3) Obedience: A man should be able to command authority effortlessly and the woman should be able to obey. But this is very sensitive too, in as much as she can obey instructions, its important that she's able to speak out when she feels like she's been abused or taken for granted. They should be a level ground between both parties always.

 

4) God fearing: We live in a modern society where people don't regard God has anything but its important that a woman should be able to teach her kids how to pray and be kind whenever its necessary. A woman who sees God has her center will always have grace in her house. Not every thing is all about bad and boujee.

 

5) Friend/Companion: Most men appreciate a woman who is their best friend and favorite person in the entire world. A woman who isn't quick to judge & cast her man if she hears anything from other people outside her family. A sincere support system is vital in any marriage.
