What men really want: secrets from a matchmaker

Here’s your chance to find out what men are really looking for in a woman. Insider and NYC matchmaker Janis Spindel tells it like it is – brace yourselves ladies!

“I see through the eyes of men” Spindel explains, as she describes her search for the ideal women for her millionaire clients. She sizes up women, literally, taking in their best qualities and advising them on how to fix their worst. According to her book, “How To Date Men” Spindel tells women what they need to do to get a man interested and engaged.

Over the course of her 19 years as a matchmaker, Spindel developed the 4 “Bs” – qualities men look for most often - they include:

1. Beauty
Sounds shallow, but the truth is that’s what men initially notice. Female competition is at an all-time high, as are the number of appointments for cosmetic procedures! For that reason, men are used to seeing women who are very aware of their appearance. Not only is their current look on exhibit, so is their future form. How will they look 10, 20, 30 years from now? Maintaining appearance takes a lot of work and money. The good news: rich men are willing to pay the maintenance bill!

2. Brains
Yes, millionaire men want women to be good looking AND smart! Do not discount the importance of this trait. Giggling and playing with your hair will not get you into this elite club. Women need to keep up on what’s happening in the world.  In a word, READ - have something interesting to say. Wealthy men often have high-brow events to attend and they want to have a woman with them that can carry a conversation and herself well. This type of man will not tolerate a woman who could possibly embarrass them in front of a client!

3. Body
Admittedly superficial, having a tone body is a necessary feature of a wealthy man’s potential partner. The good news is that super skinny is not what they really want – sexy, confident, and tone are the descriptors most men use when envisioning the perfect female physique.

4. Balance
Balance is defined as a woman who can seamlessly transition from a formal Saturday night dressed in a sexy black dress and heels to a ponytail, jeans and t-shirt on a casual Sunday morning without missing a beat. Living a balanced life is essential and well-respected by men who, because of their status, struggle to do the same.

Janis Spindel advises women to “shower off the office” before a date and choose a dress over a pantsuit. If you have long hair, wear it down, as this is a common male preference. Be confident and avoid TMI topics like your ex-boyfriend/husband, politics, and family issues. High maintenance women are a definite turn-off, so be aware of your actions and unnecessary demands. Finally, be confident – this is a universally attractive quality and can be the difference-maker between you and another vying for the same single millionaire!
