Gentlemen, you’re single and you want to meet a woman. Not just any woman. You want a beautiful woman and you want to keep her too. Well, here’s the good news. Women are not such difficult creatures as men give us credit for!

What do we want? Number one - we want to be protected. Yes, I know this doesn’t apply to all women but it’s top of the list for any woman I’ve ever spoken to. Our need to be protected dates back to the days of Adam and Eve. It’s our primary instinct. So sweep us off our feet and carry us to your cave.

Number two - we want to be provided for but we want our independence too. So spoil us as much as you want (we’ll be eternally grateful) but let us do our own thing aswell. When I refer to our own thing, I mean work, interests and friends.

Every woman’s independence threshold is different. Some like to travel alone, others enjoy a cuppa with their neighbour, and some women prefer to live in separate houses. But all women are princesses at heart and princesses like the finer things in life. Any woman who disagrees is either lying or deluding herself. So spoil us to your hearts content.

Yes, when we love someone we want to attach to our loved one and be connected, but like you, we enjoy indulging our interests. If you want a woman who will live in your pocket, there are plenty out there, but true princesses have their own interests, friends and goals alongside those she shares with you.

Having said that, we want to be mates with your mates, and we like shared interests and pals, but for our own sanity we need an ear to bleed that doesn’t involve you.

We like men who smell good. You don’t have to be classically good looking, but you need to smell good and the chemistry has to be right. Some of the most gorgeous men in the world have bald heads, big feet and a pot belly. What separates them from other guys is their sense of humour, charm, attentiveness and charisma. Being confident in your own skin is the biggest turn-on of all.

Oh, and we like to laugh! So tickle us stupid and crack silly jokes and we will love you even more. We’re a long time dead, so we might as well enjoy ourselves. No one likes a misery so if your tonsils have seen better days, brush off the cobwebs, lighten up and the world will be a sunnier place. Magical things happen when we laugh together.
