Seven Qualities That Attract Successful Men

Today, there are a number of businesses that serve this very need. Chief among them are dating sites, some that have a very broad base and others are more niche. For example, the dating social network Kisstle caters specifically to women who are looking to date successful lawyers, doctors, and entrepreneurs.

What is it the men on these sites are looking for? Each man has his own unique must-have list, but the characteristics below show up on almost all of them.

Charisma
Charisma is an elusive quality that comes naturally to some lucky people. It’s that certain something that draws people in and captivates them. No matter who you are, it’s hard not to like someone who’s charismatic because they have a way of making you feel connected.

Scientists have studied charisma to find out what it is that separates charismatic people from the rest of us. They’ve found a few interesting things like shared characteristics of charismatic people and that charisma can be learned. Whether it’s natural or a well-honed skill, charismatic women win most men over with ease – including rich, successful men.

Intelligence
The people you surround yourself with heavily influence your learning throughout life. Being with someone who’s equally or more intelligent than you aids in personal growth. It can make you smarter, more inquisitive and more innovative.

An intelligent woman is considered a good partner who will provide sound advice. This makes sense given that many men use their wives as a sounding board. If they want children then this is particularly important. Beyond the good genetics, they see smart women as more likely to take an interest in their child’s education and help steer them in the right direction.

Ambition of Her Own
Successful men are extremely ambitious, driven individuals. They respect people who share that same type of focus and ambition to do something with their life.

Having other interests outside of the relationship is also important because successful men are extremely busy. It’s not uncommon for them to be gone for days or weeks at a time. If their girlfriend or wife has nothing to do but wait for their return, it’s going to create stress for both people in the relationship.

Beauty
Let’s be real. Men who have the world in the palm of their hand are looking for an attractive woman. But that doesn’t mean they’re looking for a playmate.

Successful men seek out women who are naturally beautiful, not those that rely on plastic surgery, Botox and a mask of makeup. True beauty is something that radiates from the inside. George Clooney’s wife, Amal Clooney, is a perfect example. She’s a non-traditional beauty who made a name as a human rights lawyer. Her activism and selflessness towards others are truly beautiful qualities.

It’s also a great example of how an intelligent woman with her own goals is sexy to a high-power man.

Fitness
A survey of over 1,000 “sugar daddies” found that a good body was more important than a good-looking face. When you consider that regular exercise is a keystone habit that’s linked to other healthy, positive habits, it’s smart to make fitness a top priority.

People who exercise regularly are more likely to eat healthy. Studies have shown they also are less likely to procrastinate and use credit cards. In other words, people who exercise often tend to make more responsible life choices.

Grooming
Along with staying in shape, men in the highest income brackets also look for women who take care of themselves. Many of these men are perfectly groomed and that’s what they expect with their mate. Hair should be done, nails should be done, legs shaved and makeup tastefully applied.

Grooming shows that you take pride in your appearance and how you present yourself. To a man that’s in the upper echelons of society, presentation is everything.

Understanding and Supportive
Most men didn’t get to the top of their field by taking a lot of time off. Successful men are busy men. They need wives and girlfriends that understand they’re under extreme pressure much of the time and their work is going to be a primary focus that gets a lot of their time. That’s part of the reason why they encourage their wives to go after ambitions of their own.
