“Behind every successful man, there is a woman.” Who actually said that? And, is there a Man behind every Successful woman? We might not know the answer yet to this question but if you want to know what Girlbosses are expecting to find in a man today… read this !

Here are 10 attractive traits that any self driven woman would love to see in her man for a happy, strong, passionate, loving and long-lasting relationship… And yes, we do believe in Unicorns too !

SHOW PRAGMATISM 

« be in the real world when you actually plan to SHOW THE WORLD what you’ve got ». It can be really overwhelming when you start a new business or driving your existing business forward. You need to remain focused and sometimes it’s a relief to have a partner who is down-to-earth and make sure you don’t forget to feed the cat and yourself… or even go pick up your baby at the nursery coz it totally slipped your mind that it was your turn.

ANTICIPATE

"Actually plan & do shopping for her" How on earth do people know they’ll want to eat spaghetti on Thursday and roast Chicken on Friday? Just sitting at the kitchen table and guessing what everyone would like to eat every night of the week requires supernatural powers to achieve.

BE A THERAPIST

« be a good listener, at 8pm, 1am, and again 8 am ». Empathy involves both the head and the heart. The perfect Man shall master the 3 As :

Awareness - Be aware of how she feels and what’s behind that feeling.

Agenda - Ability to set aside your own agenda and focus on her needs.

Action - Take action on meeting those needs.

BE A CHEF & A NETFLIX EXPERT 

Oh yeah!!! There’s nothing sexier than a man in the kitchen… waiting for you with a glass of wine and some delicious Italian food that he made himself of course! And if you become the perfect Netflix expert, finding the episode or film, when she’s tired to match her state of mind, she might as well marry you spontaneously !

QUALITY TIME

She’ll never be ready to take the time to eat, stop typing on her iphone or go take a shower to finally watch your favorite film together and neither feel ready to book your next trip in Asia. You need to be the one who’ll take those decisions and be strong enough to ask her to STOP. And relax. Show her what the world of « quality time » really means. But be patient, she’ll challenge your stress level on that subject !

A SUPPORT SYSTEM

« Plan finances so that you just have to be the creative mind in the family ». Did you know that Obama even had someone to choose his suits every day when he was president of the United States ? The less you need to figure out around every detail of your life, the more you’ll get time to dream, let go and then be creative. To understand the process you should read Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert. 

CREATE A SAFE PLACE

« Create a safe place where she can be vulnerable and let it go…». It’s challenging to be that strong, self-confident woman 24h round the clock… And it’s so comforting to know that you have someone special, a man, who is there during those moments of doubts when you feel helpless…

BE A GREAT LOVER

« Yeah sex is really really important, don’t wing it». Let’s talk about sex… Is sex important in a relationship? It is just as important as trust and communication… No matter what you do in life (girlboss or not!), you are the luckiest gal on earth if  you find a partner out there who is on the same page on that topic.

BELIEVE IN HER DREAMS AND NEVER MAKE HER CHOOSE

 « Don’t try to change a girlboss but rather think about how to make it work….». Supporting her dreams and aspirations and never make her choose. Because if you ask her so… you might as well get a very bad surprise. She might choose her dreams instead of you. Don’t try to change her… And let her shoot for the moon, even if it's too big. Believe that she can do it, and she might as well, land among the stars.

****

Actually, it’s not that we really want to have it all but to find a healthy balance with this “Perfect Guy” . Because, whatever happens, if the Girlboss gives up what makes her shine inside, she’ll no longer be the woman that “you” fell in love with in the first place…

And ladies, what about you? Did you find your “perfect man” in your Girlboss adventure? We want to hear from you !!!
