....a copy of Have Him At Hello by Rachel Greenwald!




Just reply to this thread and give us your answer to this question and you'll automatically be entered for a chance to win* one of 10 copies of Rachel's new book!

What would you guess is the most important trait men want in a woman if she has "future wife potential"**, and WHY?

ABOUT RACHEL GREENWALD

You may remember Rachel from the Expert Q & A she did for us last year!

There's a reason the media has dubbed matchmaker Rachel Greenwald as "The Wife Maker." Yes, she's responsible for over 750 marriages, but more importantly, she has solved perhaps the biggest dating mystery of all time: when you finally meet Mr. Right (or even Mr. Potential), what really compels him to call back (or not) after a date?

Armed with her Harvard MBA, Rachel embarked on a fascinating ten-year research project to decipher this puzzle. In Have Him at Hello, she applies her business savvy to the dating world by conducting in-depth "exit interviews" with 1,000 single men, asking why they called back one woman, but not another. By refusing to accept the post-date brush-off like "There wasn't any chemistry…" or the excited, but equally vague evening recap, "We hit it off!" Rachel extracted unabashedly honest and raw details. It turns out there are clear, tangible, consistent reasons why marriage-minded men either fall for you or disappear. The surprising "Top 5 Date Makers" and "Top 10 Date Breakers" revealed in this book (for women of ALL ages!) can actually change your fate when Mr. Right finally comes along.

Learn more about Rachel's new book, Have Him At Hello.

I'll have a nice tall glass of loyalty. I'm not with the multi-dating sorts that think they have to try every guy that comes along on for size before they can decide that I'm acceptable.

How does one answer an unanswerable question. Every guy is different. Well if I must produce a sound bite, someone who respects him as he is.

I am going to guess that the single most common trait the guy wants in a woman is kindness.

Why seems rather obvious. BC he wants her to be nice to him lol.

There are lots of important traits that us guys want to have in a woman who has wife potential, but I'd have to say that kindness and a positive attitude is one of the top reasons.

One of the reasons I picked my girl is that she is the kindest person I know.

Most important? I truly think that depends on the man, but generally, kindness. It's the only word that really defines what I am thinking of. Someone who has the "sweetness" thing going on. She passes no judgment and respects her partner while holding her own feelings and beliefs.

I seem to end up on many 'check box' first dates where career men in their late 30's / early 40's seem to have tired of the slightly less meaningful relationships they may have been in to date, and are now looking to settle down. I joke that they seem to be checking the boxes to see if you have future wife potential. These are the men that are more interested in your potential as the future mother of their children than in you as a person - so I tend not to go back to date two. It may not be the type of thing you are looking for in answering this post - but the check list is pretty much always the same, so I thought you may be interested.....
I think that on the check list for the men I have come acress like this is:
  • Intelligence ( They are looking for someone they can interact with well, and is an equal, also what type of genes will I be handing onto my children )
  • Perspective on career (a person that has independance and a career is attractive, but will this person be willing to give up or put her career on hold to have a family with me)
  • Handbag potential (what will this person be like in social situations with me - can I take her to work functions, can I introduce her to my family, how will she present and will she say the right things to the right people at the right times)
  • Homemaker potential ( can I have a happy home with this person - what kind of a home environment would she create - is she emotionally stable rather than high maintainence, is she kind and generous with her time, does she cook ,what is her personal style like)
Hope this doesn't offend anyone, it's just my perspective of these types of dates....

It depends on what a man is looking for in a wife, on the flip side it depends on what a woman is looking for in a husband, there is no right answer.
