Most women unconsciously or consciously seek a man who has these characteristics:
- He listens to her and understands her needs and desires. This indicates there is a good relationship established. A good relationship means safety, security and survival, which is the primary need programed in women's ancient DNA.
- He values her and is dedicated to protecting her and her offspring. This implies a good chance for survival of her and her children.
- He has the resources and capacity to provide a safe and good life for her and her offspring. Seems like the best deal she can get for a future good life for her and her children.
Notice that these characteristics are coming mostly from the DNA of women's prehistoric ancestors who lived in very dangerous conditions. Today's women and men may talk about "love", but only in the past few hundred years have the concepts of "love" and "fidelity" become part of the process of mating. As a species we really are not very advanced in these "love" and "fidelity" concepts. They vary widely throughout the various cultures in the world and are not the real basis of mate selection for most women.
Most religions, societies, governments, and cultures have invented rules for insuring the mating process is controlled to suit the needs of those in power. This greatly complicates the mating process for many couples throughout the world!
