LADIES ONLY: What Men Look For on a First Date


Through the years we've talked with thousands of men about what they look for in a first date. A 38-year old CEO gave us this checklist, which pretty much sums it up.

  • Does she complain about men?

  • Is she open to trying new things?

  • Do I like her clothes and sense of style?

  • Can she speak intelligently about more than one thing (such as her job)?

  • Is she emotionally available or is she still talking to her ex a lot? (This is very important)

  • Can she maintain eye contact? Is she nervous? Is there some energy between us or is it flat? (Nervous is better than flat)

  • Is she generous or is she confrontational? Can she hold her own opinion without making me wrong?

  • Does she have a good sense of humor and a "fun" attitude? Does she get my sense of humor? Is she happy?

  • Does she have interesting "interests"?

  • Do we have chemistry? How does she respond when I put my hand on the side of her arm or in the small of her back? Is she open and not afraid to show that she likes me?

  • Is she high maintenance? Does she talk about nicer places than the one I am taking her to in a way that makes me think she would have rather gone there? Does she pick the most expensive thing on the menu on a first date?
