What women want

"what a woman looks for in a partner changes as she ages" - Helen Fisher Ph.D, professor of anthropology at Rudgers University and relationship expert.

Have you ever asked a woman (or group of women) what she (they) find in a man? I have done that a couple of times. I discovered that what women want in men actually changes with their experience too.

"What a woman wants varies with her experience".
As a woman grows older she accumulates experience. That makes "age" a precursor to experience because you can find an inexperienced thirty-something year old woman.

With my little fact finding, I have discovered that what a woman want is what "eludes her". For example, a short girl wants a tall guy more than a tall girl, a poor lady who finds it difficult to pay her tuition fees would desire a rich guy who can take care of her. I also come to conclusion that most younger women have unrealistic wants while the matured women settle for the realistic ones. Life has a way of "removing the prefixes from the immature, inexperienced and unrealistic women".

Young Woman: I want a guy that is very rich, tall, dark and handsome. I want him to be a christian, intelligent, funny, muscular, romantic, smart, classy, creative, adventurous, confident and someone who will always pay attention to me.
Matured woman: I want a guy in his early thirties, a christian, interesting, well to do. He must have a decent job too.

If you are a guy who tries to find an answer to this question, I'm sorry to disappoint you as the answer is very much open ended. I can only tell that what a woman wants stem from a major lack. She would not want something she already has.
