Dear Kym Sellers,

I’m a well-educated, financially-stable woman. That being said, I have standards when it comes to dating. But it wasn’t until I stopped being so adamant about what I wanted that I found love. I feel I’ve lost a little of my independence, because the men I’ve dated don’t really like that. Did I make a mistake by functioning as less of a “strong woman” and more like a “sweet, dependent” woman?

According to YourTango, women who are seeking long-term relationships tend to find men with these traits most desirable:

  • Successful, financially secure, smart and capable
  • Trustworthy, honest, of good and solid moral character, loving
  • Fun, funny, communicative, good company
  • Attractive (Women can and do develop attraction over time much more so than men can)
  • Active, enjoying some key shared passions and activities

A man is most likely to find a woman to be desirable and a candidate for potential relationship if she’s:

  • Attractive to him (Both her face and body type)
  • Nice, kind, sweet, warm, thoughtful, respectful and appreciative
  • Fun to be with, positive, upbeat, a happy person
  • Sharing passions, activity interests and compatible lifestyles
  • Intelligent and has workplace accomplishments
