What women want in men according to their ages
BUSINESS MATTERS (BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE) By Francis J. Kong

I got this material from the Laugh and Lift Website so don’t write me hate mails, don’t curse me, don’t call me a male chauvinist because truth to tell I get on the case of the men more than I do on the women so please don’t bear a grudge against me. Let’s just have fun all right?

What do women want in a man?

One day I had a heart-to-heart conversation with my daughter Hannah. (She’s 22 now.) She’s very pretty and don’t wonder why because she got it from her mom and not from me. I told her, “Hannah, the most important quality you want to find in a man should be one who has a healthy fear of God. If that person is God-centered then you can be sure he will love you with a pure heart. And if that person is not, then bring him to me and I will put the fear of God in him!!!”

I guess all fathers are the same. We want the best for our daughters. But more and more single women are not getting married these days. Is it because their expectations for the kind of men they want as husband are too high? I don’t know but why don’t you be the judge as you read this article entitled: “What women want in a man.”

Now don’t take this list too seriously…and then again maybe you should.

But for all the business people out there, we are never too busy not to have time to talk to our daughters about the right kind of man they should choose.

Here’s a tip. I told Hannah one day (and she says she remembers it always….)

1. Make sure you find a man who respects you as much as I do and…
2. Never fall for a man who is rude to the waiter or the janitor.
3. And above all, choose a man who loves God more than you and then you will be all right!

We all want to see our children successful not only in their work life but more so in their family life. So here is my advice: The best inheritance we can leave our children is a good example.
