As one guy on Reddit says:
“Ask me if I need help with anything and then follow through. House chores, projects, studying all of that is exceptionally more exciting with a loved one joining in to help”

“She constantly asks for my input and opinion on things that have absolutely nothing to do with me, her career, her friends, her family, etc.”
Be Independent

Okay, we mentioned how husband and wife become a team when they are married. That doesn’t mean that you become helpless and needy. Men love a woman who is capable and able to look after herself.
Men want an honest woman

“Don’t hide what you are feeling or thinking. Men appreciate it when you are honest with them. If you hold back, that only leads to your husband playing guessing games. Talk about frustration!”
Be Empathetic

“When you share a problem with a friend, you want them to show that they care. An empathetic ear and compassionate advice soothes. Give your man that same healing balm.”

“Being sensitive automatically leads to other qualities, like being very sweet, being a giver (as opposed to a taker), and being understanding. For someone sensitive, for her to hurt someone else is about as bad as hurting herself. The bottom line is if you’re emotionally sensitive, you’re usually beautiful inside, where it counts.”
Men want a consistent wife

“If your man comes home and always is in doubt about what mood you’re in, that leads to stress in the relationship. Don’t run hot and cold. Also, don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. Be yourself and stay consistent about who you are.”
Be Sociable

“You don’t have to be the life of the party (unless you want to), but at least be friendly. When you hang out with your husband and his friends, he doesn’t want the situation to feel awkward.”
Someone Attractive

When it comes to physical attraction, this is subjective. Yet the attraction has to be mutual. This is how the first flames of a relationship are ignited.

“When you love yourself, you take care of yourself. This means you do your best to keep yourself attractive by looking nice with hair, sometimes makeup, hygiene, clothes, etc. Exercise and healthy weight are important”
Common values

Physical attraction may be what brings you both together at the beginning. However, the relationship can soon derail when you discover that there are no common values. These values reflect the way we see ourselves, treat others, and our personal beliefs. Shared values keep the relationship humming.
