POLL: Traits men look for in 'MS PERFECT'!
Two days ago, we brought the ladies a poll asking them to vote for the most desirable characteristics they look for in a man. Now it's the guys' turn to tell us what they like!
In the following pages, we bring you a host of all the popular traits that have guys going gung-ho over women. Take our poll and let us know what rates highest with you!
Non-shopaholics only, please!
This probably makes it to the top of many men's list -- a wife who doesn't eat him out of house and home! 'Retail therapy' is all good, as long as you don't send your partner into a tailspin with your spending, what say lads?
You want a woman who's a sensible spender -- if such a thing exists!

Miss Independent: Makes and spends her own money!
Since a woman who's not a shopaholic may prove impossible to find, the next best thing is to catch one who spends her own money.
It's a misconception ladies have that men don't want a financially independent, career-minded partner -- they usually have no problem with it, as long as the missus is buying her own swagger instead of dipping into Hubby Dear's wallet for it!

Homely housewife: 'I don't mind cooking and bringing up the kids'
Of course, some guys do go for someone who shares old-school family values -- they want a wife who doesn't mind cooking and staying at home to bring up the kids.
Are you one of them?

Easy to please: Pass up the diamonds, flowers will do
'You bought a silver bracelet for my birthday? Hmph! I'll tell my father to buy me a gold one!'
Hoo boy, if she's hard to please, you're in trouble! Of course, some men are more up to the demands of their partners, but there are others who want a lady who is appreciative of their efforts and isn't too difficult to keep happy.

Hotness personified: The perfect 10!
Most men want a hottie on their arm -- and a lot of them are prepared to oversee issues like compatibility and personality in favour of it!
She has to have legs that don't end, the tiniest waist, large, expressive eyes, the perfect nose...
Are you one of those who wants a beautiful wife no matter what?

A compatible sense of humour: You joke, she laughs
One of your lively friends has definitely landed up with a partner who sits stony-faced while he cracks up the rest with laughter. Many blokes with a sense of humour have girlfriends with none!
Is it of paramount importance to you that your woman sees the funny side of life and laughs along with you?

Non-possessive: 'Sure you can go out with your friends'
This one's a winner. Men may be perceived as the dominating gender, but ask any burly married mate out for a drink and he'll tell you he has to check with the wife first!
Nobody wants to be tied with a ball and chain to a commitment made of love (or their partner's pinky).

Sexually compatible: She likes a romp in the sack as much as you
Some fellows are looking for sexual compatibility -- they want a lady who enjoys bedroom action just as much as they do, instead of one who keeps her guard up and acts overly-demure even behind closed doors.
And if she doesn't make a pretence of disliking your porn collection, so much the better!

The non-gossiping type: She doesn't know the neighbour's cat just sneezed
Let's face it -- most women love to gab and gossip about just about everything (and everyone!) under the sun.
So it's a refreshing change if you land up with someone who's not quite so interested in other people's lives or worse, makes her own private life known to others. Some guys want a girlfriend who'll keep some things to herself at least, instead of sharing details of their sex life, romance and other potentially embarrassing topics with her BFFs!

Intelligence: She would know why a cat sneezes, though
While some fellows want a bimbo, others want anything but -- a gal who thinks Apple is the name of a pie franchise or that toy dogs are stuffed animals can give you a migraine!
Are you one of those smart cookies who wants another smart cookie, instead of a cute but empty-headed crumble?

Non-interfering: She doesn't rifle through your e-mail or your pockets
If you've had the misfortune of dating a nosy parker in the past, you know exactly what this is about.
A woman who demands your e-mail passwords, goes through your credit card bills or cross-examines you like you're in a witness box if you're ten minutes late can make life a nightmare!
Is that your Number One priority -- a gal who isn't a mini-me version of the Spanish Inquisition?

Feminity: She looks and acts like a lady and shaves her legs
Nobody wants a girlfriend who sports a moustache thicker than his, but there are finicky blokes out there who can get all out of joint if their partner has so much as a single hair out of place, or mildly-chipped nailpaint.
Do you unabashedly belong to this fusspot club? Don't be embarrassed to admit it!

Confidence: She doesn't bat an eyelid when you look at another woman
A woman who understands that her man loves her, but that his looking at other women is perfectly normal, possesses the key to a happy relationship!
There are those out there who'll scratch out their beaus' eyes if they so much as stray 10 degrees to the left, but a cool, confident lady is a turn-on. Just remember that other guys will notice her too -- and you'll have to stay as cool!

Diplomacy: She can handle your mother well!
Oh, for a girl who can charm your mother! This is a rare breed indeed -- and there are some men (read mamma's boys!) who would do anything to find such a partner. It tops their list of priorities and is more of an attractive trait in a woman than any other.

The perfect hostess: She doesn't give your pals the look of death when they drop by
This will also make her popular among your buddies -- all guys love a mate's wife when she's warm and welcoming.
If, however, she glowers at them like the Sphinx each time they walk through the door, it's going to hammer a nail into all your bromances.

Non-nagging: 'I'm not going to tell you what to do'
'Don't leave your fork askew. Tell your boss you're taking Friday off. How many times should I tell you that I want to go shopping! You never bring me flowers, do you?'
Zounds, it's enough to drive a perfectly sane man stark raving mad! A non-nagging wife is not desirable -- she's a necessity!

A woman who accepts you for who you are without trying to change you or your lifestyle
How many women do you know who claim to love a guy for who he is and then do their best to change him and his lifestyle?
Here's a hint -- men don't appreciate it! And if you're one of them, you'll know just what we mean. Do you want an easygoing girlfriend who lets you be who you are?
