Bayo, a businessman, had achieved success in his budding age – he was barely thirty years old and already running his own multi-national companies.
Besides, he was good-looking and well-groomed; he practically had everything a man could possible wish for (national and international business connection, and the wherewithal to wine and dine with the elites).
But one thing was lacking – a GOOD HOME; aside that, he was the perfect story of a fulfilled life.
He had a beautiful wife and two kids but his home was like a ‘cemetery,’ to him – there was no bond between him and his wife. He comes in and she serves him his food and retires into her bedroom – no room for conversation or any familiarities.
Albeit it wasn’t the fault of his wife because Bayo lived like an emperor while she then chose to be his abiding servant, pending when he understood that marriage is all about ‘similitude’ and not ‘servitude’ or ‘seclusion (Bayo’s fault though)’.
He had spent months after close of work, hanging from one club to the other, but then, he realized that wasn’t the best way to bring the spark in his home. He began to wonder.

Like Bayo, many men have asked this question once or twice in their lives, particularly in periods of frustration with their dating or marital lives – What does a woman really want in her man?
As men seek for long-term relationships that culminate to blissful marriages, here are some peculiarities women want in their men:

1. A Man Who Has His Priorities Straight: Some men are totally into themselves. These are the men who get up, go running, go to work for ten or more hours, come home, eat dinner, watch television, and go to bed. There is only room in their lives for them and their schedule, and you seldom hear of them doing something for others – WOMEN don't want this! We want a man who can limit his work and "self" time to do good deeds for others. We want a man whose priorities are God, family, work, and then self.

2. A Man Who Will Listen To Them And Respond In Love: Men, it is so rude to pretend to be listening to the females in your life while you are really reading the newspaper or watching the ‘Super Eagles’ or other foreign clubs they are fanatical about. When your woman talks, she wants to know she is the most important thing to you at that time. Trust us, women know when you are really listening to them and when you are pretending. Also, if we are having a rough day, react in sympathy, even if you aren't as emotional as we are. We often just want to know that someone cares. Give your lady a hug, and tell her how special she is to you – be an encourager and a good listener.

3. A Man Who Does Not "Commands" Them Around, Saying They Are To Be "Submissive": Please, do not take the Bible out of context. Remember, when you are married someday, the first command for you is to "Love Your Wife" as Christ loved the Church. If you love her this much (and that's an awful lot), she will want to submit to you. But submission is not being a doormat or being bossed around. If that's what you think, then you will probably be looking for a long time for the "right" woman.

There are other things but if you get these three things right, you are in the right course to making your home an el-Dorado. However, men need to pep up those three peculiarities with: treating women right, like ladies. Open the door for us. Visit us once in a while at our workplaces (with meals cooked by you). Get them flowers. Be clean and well-groomed.
Men, if you follow these principles, your dates will be more frequent and you may even find yourself walking down the wedding aisle sooner than you ever thought possible, and even bringing the spark into your home, unlike Bayo!

And a BiG Johnson , that seem to solve lots of problems too

Nice piece

I don't read such.
Because, LADIES are the most confused bipedal creatures.
So why should I read this...?

U can't meet their demands.
Even when u are close to it, a NEW one emanates.

Ladies are meant to live without NEIGHBOURS, so they wouldn't have someone to compare themselves to.
But impossible
