We've asked dozens of women want they want from a men in every area of a romantic relationship! Their responses may shock and surprise many men! As we find time we'll update this section.

"I think respect is by far the most important ingredient to a successful relationship. At first, most relationships are great, however, after a period of time some partners begin to take the other for granted and so a loss of respect begins. This has happened to most of my relationships. But now as soon as things start to slide I now point it out and either resolve it or end the relationship.

Since doing this I have found a brilliant man and dumped numerous no-hopers! It really works. Demand RESPECT girls or dump your men!" Linda, Halifax, UK

"I like my man to treat me like a lady: doors opened for me, help with putting my coat on and I never go to the bar for drinks! In terms of housework, I expect to share everything except putting the garbage out. I like lots of attention especially compliments. So when I wear something new I expect him to notice and compliment me.

Sexually, I expect my man to be out-going and to take the initiative although I try to sometimes. I expect him to want to try out new and different things - experimentation is always fun.

The worst thing I hate about some men is arrogance. Men who are bigheaded are usually shallow and really have very little to boast about. I would definitely steer clear of any man who brags constantly, because they are almost certainly deceptive and insincere. This my big NO-NO where men are concerned." Carol, New York, USA
