10 Traits Men Look For In A Girlfriend

Came across this interesting article (http://www.shoppinglifestyle.com/love/traits-men-look-for-in-a-girlfriend/1400/1/)

What guys look for in a serious relationship.

While it's no secret that sex is important to the male species, sometimes it's a bit tough to identify just what men look for in a girlfriend -- we're talking long-term relationship material here.

Tapping into the knowledge of two relationship experts, we've come up with a list of 10 characteristics that will take a man from "just a date" to "meet my girlfriend".

1. A sense of humor
"Nobody wants to date 'Debbie Downer' and men enjoy joking with their women," says Zachary Davis, author of Roses and Brass Knuckles: A Man's Pocket Guide To Winning The Dating and Marriage Game. Clearly, this is something that men and women can agree on. You don't want to spend your time with someone who is seriously serious so be sure to lighten the mood when you can. Men like it when a women has the confidence to be funny. "Believe me, we want you to make us laugh too," says Davis.


2. Flexibility
No, we're not talking about physical flexibility (though, no doubt, plenty of men have that on their list). We're talking about the ability to be adventurous and explore life as it happens. Julie Spira is a best-selling author, radio host, columnist and dating/relationship expert. She believes that "men love it when a woman doesn't mind if the plans get changed last minute. Spontaneity excites a man." Last minute plans from a movie night to a pizza date? Don't panic. Go with the flow and impress him with your carefree spirit.


3. Honesty
No long-term relationship can survive without honesty and men want to trust their girlfriends. "Women don't like to admit it, but it is a lot easier for you to deceive us than it is for us to deceive you," says Davis. "We don't pick up on a lot of the signs that women do, so we have to be able to trust you fully." If you really want a solid relationship, leave your affinity for little white lies behind you.


4. Positivity
There's no question that life has its ups and downs but an emotional roller coaster is not high on any man's list of desired traits in a girlfriend. Regardless of what life throws your way, a positive outlook on life will get you far. "Too much doom and gloom usually works its way into the bedroom," according to Davis. "How can we have good night if you are always having bad days?"


5. Support
This can apply to both his personal and professional life, but men want a woman who is in his corner no matter what. "A man's self esteem and ego are driven by his success in the business world," says Spira. "When a woman admires a man for his work achievements and becomes his cheerleader, she's on the top of his list." Take an interest in his work, make an effort to understand his struggles and then provide encouragement.


6. Reliability
It's doubtful that an unreliable woman (or man) will change her (or his) stripes once a relationship is in full swing, so men want to see this trait in a woman before things get serious. "Just like women want a man they can count on, we want the same in return," says Davis. "It is easy to love when you can count on someone!" Some ways to show that you're reliable include being on time, following through on commitments and being a good friend.


7. Motivation
Motivation is usually high on the list of characteristics that women look for in a man, but it goes both ways. "How can we move forward in a relationship, when you don't want to move forward in your life?" asks Davis. Openly sharing your professional and personal aspirations will show him that you have big plans in life (that may or may not include him).


8. A social life
Even men who enjoy being in a relationship need their space, and they need to know that their girlfriend can have fun without him if necessary. "Nothing is worse than when you starting dating a woman and she becomes completely attached, and the two of you are together 24/7," says Davis. "Then we start to think, what was she doing before we met? Time apart makes the heart grow fonder, even in the beginning." Don't even think about turning your back on your girlfriends just because Mr. Right comes along. Chances are, in the short term, he won't be pleased and in the long-term, you won't be happy.


9. Sexy + Smart
We all know the first characteristic tops a man's list, but combine sexy with smart and you have "girlfriend material" written all over. "The combination will send a woman to the top of the list," says Spira. "Men are visual. When they see a woman with the intelligence behind the pretty face, it's a winning combination." Don't hesitate to share your intellectual passions. Maybe you are a crossword puzzle buff, an economic genius, a business whiz or aspiring author. Whatever your area of interest, flaunt it; don't hide it.


10. Confidence
Again, this is something men and women have in common when looking for a long-term partner. "A man is attracted to a woman who is confident on their own," says Spira. "Although they look forward to sharing together as a couple, if she can make it on her own and isn't needy, she'll capture his heart." Davis agrees saying, "If you don't love yourself then I can't love you. Simple as that." Take pride in your abilities, your body and your life and men will find you hard to resist.

U lurve her so muchie o.O

*** Capitaland Investor Day 2010 ***

Check out all those funny-looking flowers on the ceilings inside the RWS convention centre ;p btw, could u identify my leechie idol, mr. liew, in this pic? =)


Leechie lurves this beautiful castle at Universal Studio ♥ ♥ ♥




My self portraits...not easy to include both the objects n me in the pics...cos i have short leechie arms @.@"

Learnt tt there r about 67,000 Capitaland retail investors n about 13,000 of us indicated interest to attend this year's investor day at RWS but there r only 1,500 vacancies available...so they did an electronic balloting to decide who the lucky ones are before sending out the confirmation letters...so u could imagine my excitement when i received my confirmation letter...YES, i'm the chosen one!!! keke ;p well, i knew deep in my heart even before receving the letter tt i was chosen...cos i was v.much looking forward to hear my leechie idol, mr. Liew Mun Leong, speak live as i miz his speech during CapitaMalls Asia's launch last yr! o.O when u want something so badly...the universe gotta conspire to make it happen for u ya ;p lol...pls excuse leechie n her leechie logic...u dont have to agree with me...but u gotta admit tt leechie is entitled to her own opinions ya ;p

An excited leechie walked into RWS...searching for the convention centre n ballroom...this was the second time tt i've been to rws...but the place is big manz...n i was still rather unsure abt my directions...this was the first time tt i've been to RWS Convention Centre...well, i was pretty amused with the flowers on the ceilings...lol (check out the pics ;p) such contrast to the classy convention centre at MBS ;p pretty cool tt i've been to these 2 new convention centres within the space of less than a month! B-) gotta say tt the capitaland staff were really fast n efficient with the registration n stuff...which was so unlike some staff from some other organizations hosting such big scale events o.O oops...gotta apologize for my caustic tongue again ;p

My leechie idol, mr. Liew Mun Leong, was the first speaker...n he gave an overview of Capitaland's progress over the past 10 yrs...Capitaland has 5 steady engines of growth ---> residential, malls, offices, serviced apartments n funds =) well, Capitaland is celebrating our 10th year anniversary this year! =) n mr. Liew kept stressing to us tt it's "your company"! it's true...but the way tt he said it makes my leechie heart feel so warm manz =) Capitaland also launched its 10th year anniversary book today n each of us was given a copy in our goodie bag =)

Hmmmm, most of the investors who attended this investor day were the usual uncles n aunties type...with v.few youngsters...so again, ppl seemed rather surprised to see a leechie there =.=" btw, i actually saw my uni classmate there...cos he asked a question during the Q&A abt how Capitaland differentiated ourselves from other property developers...think he was there with his wife but i didnt see him after tt ler o.O well, cos there was a mad rush for food after the presentations...as usual, all those uncles n aunties were fighting for food -.-" they prepared bento sets for us as well as buffet spread of sushi n pastries =) i pop over to listen to mr. Oliver Lim (the CFO of Capitaland) field questions before he was whisked away cos mr. Liew was looking for him....mr. Lim was being his usual charismatic self B-) n again, mr. Liew was nowhere to be seen after the presentations...i would really like to go shake his hands if i had the opportunity to o.O

During the Q&A, a lady asked y Capitaland's share price has yet to return to its previous highs before the financial crisis n yet SGX's share price has already surpassed its previous highs...(well, tt was before the ASX thingy was announced ya) mr. Liew explained tt we gotta divide the current share price by a ratio of 0.66 cos there was a rights issue...hmmm, i did my calculations...think, it worked out to be around 6.30 as compared to previous highs of 8++ o.O"

Anyway, i gotta include a disclaimer here ---> this is not an inducement for anyone to trade...n no liability shall be claimed against a leechie for my leechie comments...n pls direct all your trading n investment related queries to ur broker or banker... leechie aint qualified to answer your questions...n pls dont ask me abt my personal leechie portfolio, i'm not obliged to divulge anything...n pls dont ask my frenz which stocks i hold...they r v.bz ppl too...btw, pls dont waste ur time trying to figure out my leechie net worth by asking which stocks i hold, etc...my net worth is my net worth...it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone...apologies, no offence, but there r really some guys who r so damn curious with these questions -.-"

After the dinner, we went into RWS Universal studios...there was this special Shrek 4D show at the beautiful castle inside the amusement park meant for Capitaland investors only...the effects were so good tt i went in again to watch the last show of the nite for the 2nd time =) leechie lurves the beautiful castle n the crown in front of it! took plenty of pics =) the theme park staff was really helpful n personally brought me to Steven Spielberg's Lights, Camera & Action studio when i asked for directions there..."Lights, Camera & Action" was the other show prepared for Capitaland investors only...think the set was based on a waterboat house with tornado of scale 5...the effects of this 7 minute show was really cool manz...so i went in there again to watch a second time ;p took some pics as well...keke ;p n there was fireworks display at the lake at 9.30pm...the fireworks were so beautiful manz n i took so muchie pics! walked around the Hollywood Walk of Fame n took more pics...but the Universal Studios souvenir shops were closed before i could shop for anything =.=" nvm, there is always the next time ya =) i actually asked bro to go universal studio with me but he wanna laze at home...so this was what he miz out on...lol ;p sorry bro ;p for those of u who have miz out on this exciting Capitaland Investor Day 2010, do refer to the video here: http://www.capitaland.com/videos/index.php?vid=0

Thx Capitaland for making all the necessary arrangements to make it such a special investor day for us =) i havent heard of any other listed company hosting such nice investor day including shows at RWS though ;p

Greed Is Good? ;p

Watched "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" with a group of frenz juz now...i was practically crying throughout the movie...quite glad tt i was sitting right at the back n not many ppl saw me ;p

Although i haven't seen the original Wall Street 1980s movie...but this one was based on the recent financial crisis...some of the scenes reminded me of the pain tt silly leechie went thru...ouchie :'( i can still rem the nite when DJ dropped >500pts!!! i was online when i received this msn from a fren who informed me abt the huge drop n asked me to go check on the mkts...gosh, tt actually tiggered my urticaria rashes to recur...crapz...soon, hives started appearing all over my back! -.-" but this was nothing compared to the emotional turmoil tt i went thru! Mkts were free-falling in what appeared to b a bottomless pit then...how low is low when almost everything was dropping day after day???!!! n many big names started to announce really, really bad news...those names tt we all thought were "too big to fail" went under -.-" "merrily leech" was considered to be a powderful broke-age house ya @.@" my former trader fren told me tt "bear s" was one of the most powderful houses around...along with a few other illustrious names...reminded me of those toxic products tt were so cleverly engineered...i bet many ppl were studying those acronyms during the crisis...n lou's suicide reminded me of how many ppl muz had harbored suicidal thoughts then...haiz =.=" but Gordon Gekko's so damn stylo in this movie!

Check out Gordon Gekko's famous saying ;p


Some interesting lines from the movie:

"Insanity...which is doing the same things over n over again in the same manner n expecting different results!"

"Bulls n bears make money, only pigs get slaughtered!"

"Idealist vs capitalist vs realist"???

N my v.own leechie line --->
"Dont call me materialistic...i'm purely capitalistic!!!" ;p

Updates:

I called up DontBullShit bank n the silly phone operator couldnt answer my questions n put me on hold for so damn long...n she still couldnt answer my questions after tt -.-" but when i posted my same questions on the forum, i got a reply almost immediately!!! =.=" internet rocks!

High IQ kid chose a normal life...the media denounced him as a “failed genius” but he has no idea why his life, which he considers a success, had to be called a failure. “People expected me to become a high-ranking official in the government or a big company, but I don’t think just because I chose not to become the expected it gives anyone a right to call anyone’s life a failure,” he said.

Btw, saw this interesting quote:
"U just need to distance yourself from people. If they care, they will notice & will be bothered. If they don't, move on."
Sad but how true...som ppl juz aint worth it...not now...n not in the future! =.=" Move on...n make space for som others who r worth it!!!

Leechie attended a great talk by a MIT alumni who covered "acquisition for start-ups"...juz wanna share a related discussion with a fb fren here --->

A: "So, the main question: what good acquisition can bring to startup? Investments from parent company, distribution channels (of parent company), legal cover (again from parent company). Negative: loosing independence, total control from paren...t company, at the end all innovation made by startup can be even killed as a project, and start-up employees can be fired. So, is it worth for startup to be acquired? Depends on situation. If your startup has a successful product or idea, which already have customer demand - then there's no point for startup to be acquired."

A: "Tono, I'd also like to add that the best startups are the startups created by Family (Husband and Wife): Husband is a CTO and Wife is a CEO (Husband reports to his Wife ;) ). It also makes their Love and Family stronger."

Leechie: "hmmm...tt's ideal in the perfect world...but there r lotsa complications once divorce sets in...u once shared common vision...common goals...working for the common good of ur family...but everythg becomes complicated once there is a divorce......lol...happened to know ppl who r in this situation...n i always wonder...r they still able to face each other professionally after divorce?can they work together as well as a team after the divorce?or would they hate each other to the core?hmmm,i'm thinking abt this scenario...2 good frenz start a biz together...they could b really good platonic frenz...then along the way...they fell in love with other ppl...it would b really great if they remain as great partners...but would their respective partners complicate the biz? o.O there is this case here (one of the famous brands here...think it made it into the international scene) whereby the 2 lovers closed down the biz after they broke up...i guess tt won't b the last..."

Leechie: "lol...i guess fidelity aint a criteria for owning a biz together for their case n divorce would b the perfect ending? ;p
but the brand example tt i quoted was a couple tt broke up...think they were not married then...i guess tt happens pretty often...guess most ppl wouldnt wanna work together so closely with their ex-es after the relationship had ended...o.O""

A: "Tono, see what majority of economists can't realize till now is that morale and economy are very connected with each other. Do you know what is the REAL reason of the current economic crysis? Immorality. If the couple wants to break up and destroy their startup instead of growing it together - then whose fault is that? Just couple's fault."

Leechie: "hmmm...there r 2 isolated examples here...for the brand case...i guess they fell in love n built up their brand together...but then along the way, they fell out of love with each other...then found it impossible to work together with each o...ther anymore?which is y they closed down the brand n went separate directions?but cant really blame them for tt...cos many ppl find it hard to work closely with their ex-es after the relationship had ended...cos "working together for their common good" doesnt seem to b tt applicable anymore ya? o.O" the love is no longer there...only the biz...if tt's the case, wouldnt it b better tt everythg is more biz-oriented in the v.first place?n tt breakup scenario might b somthg tt all potential couples wanting to start their biz together b somthg tt they might wanna consider first even before starting? o.O"

A: "Tono, they didn't get together/married in order to build startup. But they build startup afterwards because they want to do something together - as a couple."

Leechie: "yup...but the thg is...they fell outta love subsquently n the brand juz fell apart...the brand is not complete without either of them..."

Leechie: "there could b hundreds of reasons y they fell outta love...the stress from building a successful international brand could b one of them...i'm juz speculating...so what i'm saying is...love is love...biz is biz...wouldnt it b better for these 2 entirely different things not to b mixed together?or tt certain exit strategy b planned right from the start?juz my leechie opinion only...o.O"

Leechie: "well, most ppl dont get married in the v.first place to think of divorce as a possible ending...do they? o.O
but divorce is getting more n more common these days...n i was juz telling my leechie mum tt the kind of love between our MM Lee n his recently deceased wife is really rare n almost extinct in today's society...sad but how true...of course, we hope tt the kind of love tt we experience will b eternal...but the divorce statistics r obviously telling us a different thing...no offence..."

A: "Again - that "common" divorce thing means that the immorality is at full power now which sooner or later bring the end to human society. Innovation, technologies, economy can't grow or be developed in the society where divorce is a "common" thing."

Btw, to keep u amused ->
Yest, the security guard saw me walking around the barriers n shouted at me...i quickly went up the com bus...he then ran up the bus n shouted at me at the top of his voice juz like a madman...everyone on the bus could hear his verbal abuse...the guys at the back were all laughing...pity tt i didnt film it down to share on u-tube...he reminded me of the recent clip of tt woman on MRT! he claimed tt i went under the barriers...excuse me...i'm not so stupid to walk below the barriers so i corrected him tt i went around the barriers...he got angry n ranted on n on abt how if some car were to knock me down n if i kenna killed, he doesnt want to b held responsible for it...i told him tt i already checked tt there was no traffic before crossing...he got even angrier n barked at me like a madman...n said tt he's going to complain to this n tt...then all the guys at the back were laughing o.O"

I really feel threatened tt we have such security ppl who is not the least bit concerned abt our welfare n who is only worried abt being held responsible if we kenna killed n who goes around verbally abusing ppl when he is pissed! who knows if he's mentally stable? so scarry manz! o.O" I bet it would turn out differently if i were not a short gal but a tall n huge n muscular man flashing my biceps at him! -.-" kenna bullied cos i ignored him n walked on...then he ran all the way up the bus to verbally abuse me over a trivial matter! =.="

Guess what? tt yaya security guard was holding a camera while he walked past me twice...i could even see the lens of his camera!!!think he's secretly trying to film me!!!i feel damn threatened by his antics!!! -.-" n he's behaving so damn yaya as if he owns the entire place...strange tt his office is the guard house n not some CEO office eh? -.-"

Some security guard bully only lurves to bully ppl...n bullies r usually some pathetic souls who suffer fr lotsa insecurity issues...really pathetic...letting others win in silly argument aint a sign of weakness...it's sympathy on our part...such ppl r in need of psychiatric help. btw, halloween is coming...mayb these pathetic souls juz wanna make their presence felt...but i'll juz treat it as background noise...lol...btw, do u see the oxymoron here? security having insecurity issues? lol ;p

Gosh...this yaya security guard's attitude was totally 180 degree different when another senior male muscular colleague committed the same offence the following week!!! he went up the com bus n talked to him nicely n even said pls...crapz!!! gender discrimination? but another colleague commented tt the sample size is too small to conclude his actions as gender discrimination! but what i'm damn sure is this yaya security guard is picking on me!!! -.-"

The theme for this year's D&D was Shanghai Nite...n it was held at a Chinese restaurant...gosh...i didnt know what i gonna wear to the D&D manz...cos cheongsam would b the last thing tt i could imagine myself wearing =.=" i even contemplated wearing a kimono there...lol ;p but i already wore a pretty pink kimono to D&D a few years ago when the theme was International Nite o.O

So leechie pop ovr to Chinatown...hoping to find some hip cheongsam-inspired clothes to suit the theme o.O well, i found a red halter top cheongsam top n called my leechie mum...she was like ---> "In red? gosh, dont they have some other colors? u'll end up looking like a waitress if u were to wear this red cheongsam top!" so a leechie put back the red halter cheongsam top...there were plenty of other traditional cheongsam dresses n tops...stuff tt i could nvr imagine myself wearing =.=" hmmm, i was walking around...browsing thru lotsa cheongsam stuff...until i saw this blue cheongsam top with gold trimmings...hmmm, then a light bulb lit up in my leechie head...in a split second...i knew what i gonna wear to D&D...lol ;p

So leechie wore this blue cheongsam top with short denim skirt n lace leggings with knee boots to d&d ;p btw, some american stylist said tt leechie resembles a japanese clown on wed...well, i would rather be clownish than boring =.=" at least, i'm the one n only leechie...i'm unique...it's ur problem if u have a problem with that...not mine =.="



Btw, wanna guess the cost of my cheongsam top? ;p guesses from my fb frenz ranged from $9.90 to $500...o.O but the price tag of this cheongsam top is only $4.90! sounds unbelievable ya? but tt's the actual price ;p hmmm, sometimes it isnt so much abt the price of the clothes...but more of the person wearing it ya? ;p btw, here's a fb fren's response after finding out the actual cost of my cheongsam top ->
"Way to go, leechie
The trick is to know where to buy at ridiculously low prices and look like a million letting others think you pay an astronomical sum!"

My leechie mum actually thot i'm going clubbing after d&d n asked me to bring my ID card with me...juz in case tt they dont allow me into the clubs cos i look underaged...but leechie aint feeling well n clubbing's not on my agenda tonite =.=" but think i can pass of as the door bitch of some clubs with my dressing tonite...lol o.O" guess i could only say tt i attracted attention not only at my function...but on my way there too =.=" noticed some guys staring at me -.-" but i'm not wearing anything too revealing...it's juz fusion dressing...perhaps might b more appropriate for clubbing...or what the door bitch might wear...lol ;p but some of the door bitches r v.casually dressed these days...hmmm, but i dont really dress up when i go to clubs these days cos some clubs r abit "not too dressy" ya...esp the crowds there...u get what i mean ya ;p

Didnt book any appointment with any hair salons...so i juz rushed ovr to a nearby salon to get my leechie hair blown before D&D...well, i told tt stylist tt i was running late n told him to hurry up...but he still took more than 50min to blow my hair...could see tt he was trying v.hard to make it look nice...yet my hair was still flat at the back...sometimes, abit of talent is still required for certain stuff ya =.="

Didnt win any lucky draw prizes this yr...juz realized how silly i was...when i turned up late for the D&D, the events mgmt ppl directed me inside...saying tt everything was already inside...so i didnt even register n didnt even put in my lucky draw coupon...how to win anything when my lucky draw coupon wasn't even inside the lucky draw box in the v.first place? =.=" won't b leeched next yr! -.-"

N the best-dressed awards for ladies went to those wearing traditional cheongsam dresses...guess fusion-dressing wasn't appreciated much ya =.=" leechie had 3 glasses of red wine & 2 beers n i could still walk in a straight line...German sup declared tt he's drunk after 7 or 8 beers, otherwise i would have drank with him...lol ;p n he left rather early with a group...but oktoberfest is coming soon...so perhaps he's reserving some drinking space for tt? ;p

It was an entertaining nite with the indian host (he intro himself as a punjabi) o.O i gotta say tt his hokkien really sounded like Phua Chu Kang...lol ;p there were some stage performances from some ladies from Shanghai (for a minute, i actually thot i was at lunar...lol ;p) hmmm, i didn't even see the magician who was supposed to perform some magic tricks at each table making his appearance at our table even though our table was juz next to the vip tables...or was tt supposed to b some disappearing act? -.-" oops, think i drank some acid instead of water again ;p anyway, it might b better if more budget was reserved for f&b n lucky draw prizes than for the hired stage performances (which seemed to signal loo-break for many ppl) n magician =.=" n towards the end of the nite...the funny host got my colleagues to sing in chinese, hokkien, thai, tamil, indonesian n german...but didnt hear any japanese songs ya (maybe he was told not to poke fun of the vips? ;p)

Btw, someone placed her lv bag (which looks so suspiciously fako) on my seat juz before i came in for d&d...n again on sat nite, someone placed her bag on my seat before i came into the cinema...if their bags r soooooooo freaking exp n deserve a seat...y not juz keep them in the bank safe? it would b far safer n more secure tt way ya ;p

Btw, almost everyone knows leechie fav color is pink ya ;p but not sure y i'm into blues these days o.O i'm v.happy with my navy blue kate spade renwick street...as well as my navy blue milkfed bag (gwp from a japanese mag)...n i still have a pretty denim color prada wristlet which i have yet to use...lol ;p

Posted on fb tt "someone asked me yest if leechie is a tai-tai...she said i look like one o.O" well, i wouldnt need to slog so hard if i were one ya =.=" do i really look like a tai-tai? o.O"" n here r some of the responses to my fb posting:
