		<description>Mike, I&#039;m glad you like the post.  You have plenty of time to find a good girl.  Thanks as always for adding to the conversation!

Lance, cool.  I think the things you listed are awesome additions, and I love your website.  Looking forward to reading more of your posts!

Scot, you are right.  I like &quot;people get what they expect.&quot;  I also agree, Men want women with character... but I think that means  something different for every guy.  I see &quot;character&quot; as the quirkiness that makes people fall in love with each other.  It&#039;s kinda like the scuffs on my boots that make me not ever want to stop wearing them.  It&#039;s really hard to put that type of stuff into words.  Thanks for the comment!</description>

		<description>Hello Monica:

Lance e-mailed me your post and I enjoyed it immensely.

I would add that what makes a bachelor commit to a woman is much more than her &quot;brain&quot; in addition to her physical beauty/sexiness.

There are lots of smart, beautiful women who still cannot get their boyfriends of several years to &quot;commit&quot;.

Yet, other women find that men are bringing diamond rings to second and third dates...repeatedly.  As creepy as that sounds, it goes on and represents the &quot;opposite&quot; problem, if you will.

What sets these women apart?

It&#039;s a combination of pure, natural femininity and character.

She is proud to be a woman, enjoys it and...importantly...ENJOYS men.  She actually LIKES men, and even RESPECTS them.  In turn, she attracts men who LIKE and RESPECT women.

Women who believe &quot;all men are dogs and only want one thing&quot; tend to get what they expect.  After all, why would any man who respects women fall for a woman like that?

Second, as I mentioned, she has character.  In most cases, the women I&#039;ve known whose boyfriends wouldn&#039;t &quot;commit&quot; had valid concerns that she had cheating potential.  &quot;Testing&quot; a boyfriend by openly flirting with other guys in front of him is decidedly not a great way to get him to commit.

BTW, every bit of what I&#039;m saying applies in reverse to men who want to attract a great woman.  I knew within a very short time of meeting my wife Emily that she was who I&#039;d rather be with than the other women I had been dating.  I had to deserve that privilege, however, by being the kind of man who was no less than who she was looking for.

Cheers,

Scot McKay

		<description>Monica, great post. I blog about dating and relationships and this post really hit a chord. I&#039;m a big proponent of men improving themselves in every aspect in order to connect with beautiful women, but I also talk a lot about how women could grow up and be worth getting into a relationship with, or even talking to. I call this getting past the &quot;party girl&quot; stage.

One point I would add for women is that they develop rich inner lives. This encompasses many things, but good starting points are 1) getting hobbies (something to talk about besides relationships), 2) being passionate about something, anything, 3) read and acquire knowledge, and 4) open themselves up to men of high value.

Cheers,

Lance</description>

		<description>Justin, I&#039;m not saying growing up is gender specific.  There are a lot more articles about men growing up though... so this is another perspective.  Thanks for the comment =D</description>
