Maybe you\u2019ve been on date after date after date, and after all the cocktails, mini-golf, movies, and comedy clubs you either get ghosted or she breaks things off. Either way, the women you\u2019re seeing aren\u2019t interested and you\u2019re not sure why. Now you\u2019re at home alone again with your TV and a midnight bowl of cheerios, asking yourself what are women looking for these days?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a good question. And the answer isn\u2019t an easy one to answer. But to help you out, the online dating app <\/span>Zoosk<\/span><\/a> took a look into the data to see what words women are using to describe their ideal partners. What they found may surprise you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.
\n<\/b>Turns out the popular phrase from Marilyn Monroe is right. <\/span>Humor<\/span><\/i>,<\/span> sense of humor<\/span><\/i>, and<\/span> laugh<\/span><\/i> were some of the most popular words that women used to describe their partners in profiles and messages. Women absolutely love a funny guy. No questions asked. Whether you\u2019re stand-up comedian extraordinaire or you\u2019re still back and forth about that improv Groupon, being funny and having jokes on the ready are big turn-ons for most women. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chivalry isn\u2019t dead.
\n<\/b>If someone tells you otherwise, don\u2019t listen. Being a good person never goes out of fashion and now we have the dating data to prove it. Other popular attributes women mentioned in their dating profile was a guy who\u2019s <\/span>honest<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>kind<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girls just want to have fun.
\n<\/b>This should go without saying, but I\u2019m going to say it. In dating, <\/span>fun<\/span><\/i> is important. No matter your level of commitment, keep it fun. Whether you\u2019re looking for a casual situation or a serious relationship, people want to smile and feel free. Dating is as much about getting lost as it is about finding. Fun is the chemical X that makes that feeling happen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A family man is always in style.
\n<\/b>Interestingly enough, according to the data women across all different age groups are looking for men who value <\/span>family<\/span><\/i>. Yes, that includes women in their 20s. Now, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean <\/span>kids<\/span><\/i>, (although kids was a fairly popular word, too) but just valuing family in general. Someone\u2019s relationship with his family can say a lot about a person, and the data says women agree.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to be extraordinary.
\n<\/b>It\u2019s true. Single women are just looking for someone who\u2019s a little bit on the mild side. <\/span>Down to earth<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>easy going<\/span><\/i> were both fairly popular words that women used to describe their ideal partners. Women in their 40s and 50s feel even stronger about this. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know your way around.
\n<\/b>Women like men who know their way around the globe. <\/span>Travel<\/span><\/i> has definitely become a hot word over the last couple decades, but it\u2019s also a good way to net a partner. Globe trotting can make you a more interesting and sensitive partner. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be a guy who cares.
\n<\/b>Caring<\/span><\/i> is a word that consistently showed up in the descriptions women wrote about what qualities they were looking for. No matter what the media says about declining romance, people are still looking for caring relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the numbers, these are the ways that single women are describing their ideal partners. Of course, this is not every woman, nor do you have to fit every characteristic, but it\u2019s certainly good to understand just a little bit more about types of qualities that are universally appealing. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
