At what point does a woman grow up and start to appreciate a good man?

Never, women now a days live by what's on TV or what they heard on the radio and not by there hearts. If a women see the realness in someone it scares them away. I'm yet to see women appreciate a good man. Women tell you that there looking for a good man but totally want the opposite. \nGood luck appreciating a thug.

As long as you are a good person.. what does it matter what guys like.  You are what you are... they can take it or leave it!

it really depends on the girl, some start appreciating a nice guy when they're in their teens and others never really do.\n \n I think its funny when some women say they want a "bad boy" because in their minds their thinking a handsome hot rodder who plays by his own rules but yet is still a hopeless romantic, GET REAL LADIES!\n \n  They also say they want somebody who is more interesting, well how about they date a pyromaniac? He'll defiantly keep em on their toes. Or how about a guy with multiple personality disorder? then shes not just dating one guy...shes dating a whole LOAD of guys and they all have something interesting in mind.\n\n  I'm sorry i seem to have rambled, fact is, like i said, it varies girl to girl, and not to be one sided, guys need to start appreciating a good girl when they see one too.\n\n So close your eyes, toss a coin into a fountain and make a wish that you'll find that special someone who you appreciate and who appreciates you.

I think it depends on the age group we're talking about\nmen seem to go through phases \nin their early teens they tend to be romantic\nthen they get cocky in their 20's comparing themselves to all the other guys beating their chests.\nwhen they start to mellow in their 30's they start getting more romantic and mushy.\nin their 40's they start liking Oprah and lifetime movies with a box of kleenex

You said in your question, if you take a second and read it again that, u are lucky to have found this guy,u feel self-conscious, and you wonder if u will be able to satisfy him, what can u do? I think what you need to realize is that a man IS satisfied by a woman that treats him good. period. physical attributes mean very little if you give him your love and respect. You have to know that you are a woman with everything on that body and in that heart that a man would ever want. please keep in mind that relationships at your age are probably not forever. it was what i went through as a man then that gave me the wisdom and maturity to see a good woman as more than a physical lust. i took women for granted,blindly, and because of my own insecurities and shortcomings. dont be scared to live and love deeply. dont feel like your body lacks anything. if you do love him, make sure its love you get back. i hope that he treats you right, and respects you like he should. baby, it's not the breasts, it's the heart behind it that makes a man fall in love.

when a woman can give him his own space without acting uninterested.youve gotta trust until given a proven reason not to.men are easy to please as long as you understand the one your dealing with.dont try to change him into who YOU want.let him be himself as long as he can do the same for you.

Who cares what a Man wants as long as he wants to date you cause you have a good heart. You should know that when a woman has a good heart that is good enough..if a guy only wants to look at what you are in the outside, he is not worth it...be beautiful inside....

Everyone is different, however there are certain qualities that men seem to agree on. I can give you the long answer, where most of the information would come from social scientiests like Helen Fisher ( Anatomy of Love), or philosophers like Robert Solomon ( About Love) and Steven Pinker (How the mind works and Blank Slate). This info will speak of some of the innate behaviour and conditioning of men that seems to be written in the genes. There are different qualities perfered by different personality type. Thing of course to be realized is that as men progress through life their personalites change and so does their priorities. So the best fit for the long run would be a woman that changes independently as well as cumulatively with her male partner. However, there needs to be a basic foundation supported by both the partners, upon which the heights of relationship are built. Qualities such as understanding each others priorties (and remember they keep shifting), support;emotional as well as social, passion, a feeling of connectedness in terms of intimacy, and view on family and religion/spirituality should have some common grounds as well. \nThe short answer to the question is most men (knowingly or unknowingly) want someone like their Mother. So if you really want to know what your man wants, get to know his mother and be aware of his relationship dynamics with his mother.

Females tend to grow up, emotionally, faster than men. But eventually men catch up. Some say from 16 years old till 20 women grow faster than men, but when men go into their mid 20s, the catch up with the ladies.\n\nI would dare to say, without really knowing, that you are dating "inmature" males...

i am almost 31...and i can honestly tell you that i feel more confident,  more beautiful and more lovable as i get older.  i have dealt with my shit,  i have been there and done it,  and i dont want to play games.  i am at the point where if the right guy comes along,  i am ready to have a lifelong love with him.  the other sweet thing that benefits the man when they have an older woman is....sexual prime for a woman begins at 30....and trust me....if you want a woman who feels the way you did as a teenage boy in the sex department, that is the way to go....

The two are not mutually exclusive.  There are other attributes in women men appreciate such as kindness, intelect, talent, humor, poise, the list continues....

You nailed it right on the head. The women you are referring to want their handsome boy toy to play around with, and they get used and abused for years and years, then towards mid life, they decided that they want someone decent and loving. I reiterate what you just said, why should the good guy not have to settle for damaged goods, which they are,and with certainty, they will have psychological at the very least.It is quite refreshing to see someone like you call it like it is.

As a 30 year old woman, she should be relieved to find such a handsome, successful, intelligent man around her age.  Any person who ends a relationship because of what others might think or say is shallow and inadequate as a partner.  If she's talking about you, you're a cutie and she should be glad you're not bald and impotent.

First of all it's not in the human nature to see the good in people. Secondly, u cant blame anyone man or woman for questioning gestures especially when it comes to a man woman relationship (especially if ur dealing with attractive members of the opposite sex). Like if a guy approaches an attractive lady  and if the guy is attractive himself (or vice versa) the first thing on ur mind is usually not 'oh he's such a nice guy' it's usually where's the attached string or what does he/she want. Some people try to deny this NATURAL reaction and be like oh I didn't think anything of it. Granted, sometimes there aren't any hidden agenda's but unfortunately an evolution has occurred in the boy girl relationship world (partly thanks to the media) so u just gotta go through the whole process. Prove to whoever it is ur interested in that ur sincere and see if it works out.

love him as he is and shower him with your loving attention. If he knows that you have accepted him as he is - flaws and all- he'll start to look great. The feeling of being loved and cherished will transform a man.

when he feels like 1/2 and not whole when he is away from the one he loves...When he can see in his minds eye what his children will look like with the person he loves. When the phone rings and his heart skips or speeds up thinking it might be her. When he is financially set to take on the responsability of providing a secure future for himself and the one he loves...When he can be in a crowded room with a bunch of women and only see her...When he can look into her eyes and know that they will grow old together. Oh and when her father says you can marry her then it is the right time, Hope this helps. :) P.S. I met my husband when I we were 19 now we are 33 and I always knew we would be together and married it just took him 8yrs to figure it out Hahah Happily married.
