If we were to list the standards for the perfect boyfriend in a woman's mind, almost anyone could rattle off a long list: rich, handsome, with plenty of free time, doesn't talk too much nonsense, punctual, and so on. Women mostly care about practical factors like money, appearance, and freedom. So, what is the ideal girlfriend in a man's mind?
1. Possessing a standard body shape
The most popular body type among men is a height of 160cm and a weight of around 48kg. This differs from the current concepts of "healthy weight" and "average weight." However, for some petite women, while a fuller figure can be achieved through weight loss, a shorter stature cannot be easily increased. This is simply unavoidable. Surprisingly, while men don't particularly favor full-figured women, they also don't prefer extremely thin women. The most popular type is of average height and build, perhaps because it conveys a healthier impression. Therefore, women don't need to desperately diet.
2. Medium-length hair
In terms of hairstyles, men tend to prefer medium-length hair over long or short hair. Both men who prefer long and short hair also welcome medium-length hair. Therefore, women don't need to dye their hair or create unusual hairstyles; perhaps following the norm is the best approach.
3. Wear natural makeup and dress neatly and cleanly.
Most men are not very accepting of overly heavy makeup and exaggerated outfits. If a woman wears light makeup, men can more easily judge whether she looks pretty without makeup. While natural makeup aims to leave men with the impression that "this woman is beautiful even without makeup," it is not actually very light makeup. Therefore, even if it's just to slightly deceive men, women should learn how to apply natural makeup.
4. Diligent in work
In today's high-pressure society, men tend to choose marriage partners who are willing to continue working after marriage, rather than those who want to be stay-at-home mothers without income. Compared to women who dream of being princesses and want to find the perfect man to spend their lives with, women who are willing to work hard are more likely to be preferred by men.
5. Enjoy cooking
Although women who claim to enjoy cooking may be seen as cunning and hypocritical by other women, men still tend to prefer women who enjoy cooking. After all, "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," and if a woman can cook well, men will think, "If I could marry her, I would be very happy after marriage."
6. Quiet and gentle
Men are vain creatures, so when they're alone with their girlfriends, they crave a more comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. If a woman is noisy and disruptive, a man will inevitably feel exhausted and disillusioned. Therefore, no matter what, a quiet and gentle woman is generally more appealing.
7. Lively and positive
It's hard for any man to fall in love with a woman who has a negative mindset and is full of negativity. On the other hand, women with lively personalities and positive attitudes can gently encourage men when they are feeling down, making them a source of warmth and joy for men.
8. Filial piety and family-oriented
A good wife should not only be skilled at housework but also adept at handling various interpersonal relationships within the family. She should be filial to her own parents and respectful and obedient to her in-laws. Such a woman is an invaluable "wise helper," capable of helping her husband build a happy and harmonious family.
