It is very simple: women want a perfect balance of musculinity and feminity. they want a wild, virile man with a quivering sensitivity. they desire their own images in men. Unfortunately, such men are very rare in life. Most of men are endowed with a single trait and they can pretend that they possess both, unfortunately those faked personalities can not last long and can be easily detected by women.
All these reseaches are a gigantic waste of money. Look at Marlon Brando in streetcar named desire: the male beast with female sensuality, playfulness and sensitivity. No wonder women fell for him at his prime. Unfortunately that male beauty did not last long in real life. Also, read Destoveysky’s novel “Idiot”, the female heroine vacillated between two characters: one with grand animalistic passion and another with Christ like purity. In reality, men are made of a singular dimension, women have to accept the fact of biology or they can imagine some of their partern’s traits into these ideal categories ( even these traits do not fit into strict defintion of virility and feminity).
The desire of the combination in men can be attributed to the female biological changes during their monthly fluctuation of hormone. If such men exist in real life and acting accordingly, they will be sent to mental hospitals and jail. Because men are made for action and women can live in paradox.
In conclusion, women are made of two diametrically opposed elements, the constant mixing of these two elements make them enigamtic.
the answer to all these research can be found in art and literature and all the scientific research simple destoryed the beauty of life.

[...] A better rule might be that a little critique goes a long way, particularly if it is incorporated into the work itself rather than added on at the end. Critique is effective if it becomes part of a subject-driven focus and engages something that interests readers, as Greg amply demonstrated in his popular yet critical post on women and sex, What Do Those Enigmatic Women Want?

Great discussion. The original article reviewed a few recent studies and said the answer to the question “What women do women want?” is confusing and complex. Here are question for those of you who are familiar with broad review of literature. What traits, characteristics and or nonverbal behaviors do you think women initially find attractive? What traits, characteristics and nonverbal behaviors are men most attracted to in women? I know the inherent problems in the way I have worded the question so please feel free to restate the questions in way that leads to the most interesting answers.

There is a very simple answer to all of this. We simply don’t know! That is all, nothing more, or less.
