The question almost as old as time – what do women want? Books have been written about this topic and movies made, but it seems like we still have a lot to learn.
Even though girls are seen as mysterious beings who often don't know what they want themselves, the truth is a bit different. In fact, here's a life-saving piece of advice: try listening and you'll soon realize what any woman wants – be it your girlfriend, wife, sister, mother, or friend.
Still, there are some tried-and-true ways to make almost every woman smile in an instant. Today, we're sharing 10 things every girl wants.
- Respect
Take note boys, because this is crucial. Every girl wants to be respected. We want to be listened to and appreciated and we want our ideas to be heard, regardless of whether we're at work or at home.
- Loyal Friends
Truly great friends are difficult to come by, but they are essential to every girl's life. That's why it so important to know that we have amazing, loyal people by our side that we can always count on.
- Laugh
Ask any girl what's the most important trait she looks for in a man, and a sense of humor always comes up in the top three. We love to laugh, and we want to surround ourselves with people who make us crack up even when we'd rather cry.
- Fulfilling Career
Unlike some people's opinion, our world doesn't revolve around men and fashion. One of the main things that define us is our career, and we need to love what we do and have a fulfilling job to be truly happy.
- Feeling Loved
Even though it may not be a priority, us girls need love in our life. There's nothing that puts a smile on our face as knowing and feeling we are loved.
- Adventure
All girls want adventure, although the word means something different to all of us. Whether it's skydiving, traveling to exotic places or just trying out new recipes in the kitchen, we love adventuring in our own way.
- Tokens of Love
Gifts are not the most important thing to women, but we do love getting them. And they don't need to be expensive, just thoughtful. Just a beautiful flower to celebrate Valentine's Day or a hand-written poem on an anniversary will melt our hearts.
- Hugs
Nothing says 'I love you' like a gentle embrace. That's why hugging a girl, whether it's your significant other or a friend, is the best way to comfort her, cheer her up and show her how much you care in the simplest, truest way.
- Independence
Every girl wants her independence and freedom to make her own decisions, spend her time the way she wants and live her life as she chooses. But nonetheless, every girl will appreciate your support as she fights her battles.
- Feeling safe
Even the strongest, most independent girl needs to feel safe and she will love a man who proudly stands by her and has her back whatever happens.
There you have it, 10 things every girl wants. Lots of love and appreciation, independence, respect, and support, plus thoughtful tokens of love every now and then, and you've got the formula to make a girl happy.
