1. She encourages you to pursue your goals, but she doesn’t micromanage.

She trusts you to

2. She doesn’t try to make you jealous. She’s secure in her worth, and your ability to recognize
how valuable she is. She doesn’t need to play games to “trick” you into seeing her her for what
she is.

3. She doesn’t have a princess complex. She demands that you treat her with respect — but
because she is a person you love, not because she is a woman and therefore magically entitled to
something. Just as she would expect you to treat your friends and family with respect, she knows
you wouldn’t treat her any other way. A high-quality woman wouldn’t be with a man who was
disrespectful to the people he is close to in life.

4. She has a part of her life that doesn’t involve you. Friends, hobbies, career — whatever. She’s
confident and independent enough to not need your involvement in everything she does.

5. You wouldn’t think twice about inviting her into different parts of your life: a barbecue with
your college friends, a dinner with your parents, a fancy work party — she knows how to handle
herself in different settings. She’s mature enough to make a good impression with your
colleagues and wise enough to know letting loose with your friends and having fun doesn’t mean
she’s immature.

6. She takes care of herself. This doesn’t mean she is perfect, it means she is always improving.
You don’t have to tell her she needs to solve a problem in her life. She’s self-aware and sees
what issues she has and is self-motivated enough to constantly be working to improve them. She
needs a partner, not a dad.

7. When she is in a situation where she doesn’t know people, she introduces herself confidently.
She doesn’t cling meekly to your side waiting for you to facilitate every social interaction.

8. A reasonable, non-hyper-conservative employer could look at her social media presence and
hire her.

9. She isn’t shy about sex. If she doesn’t want to do something, she can articulate why instead of
just saying “ew”. Your sex life with her isn’t a shady secret she feels uncomfortable talking
about, it’s adult and healthy and you both work to keep the flame alive.

10. She has opinions more than “idk” and she can talk calmly and non-hyperbolically about
them. If she disagrees with you, you can have a conversation about it without anyone raising
their voice.

11. She would never joke with her friends or family (or worse, your friends or family) about how
men are “stupid” or childish, or whatever “happy wife happy life” mantra you’ve heard women
use to put down the partners they love.
12. She knows what she wants in life. She doesn’t change her values or goals to tailor fit the guy
she is with.

13. You feel lucky to be dating her because you know she would never date anyone just to date
them. She isn’t afraid to be single and she is self-sufficient. You know she is dating you because
she’s attracted to you and she thinks that you will help each other grow to be even higher quality,
together.

If marriage is on your mind, here are 12 signs that the girl you are with is high quality and worth
marrying.

1) You want to be a better person because of her

If you find yourself suddenly sitting up straighter and trying harder to be a better man, there’s a
good chance she’ll always bring out those qualities in you.

Being with someone who makes us better is awesome, and it can help make a marriage
successful in the long run.

2) She doesn’t beat around the bush

She always says what she means, and so you always know exactly where you stand with her.

Other girls like to play games and do silly things to get your attention, but not her. She is honest
about how she feels.

3) She knows she isn’t all that’s good in your life

She respects that there are other things in your life that bring you joy and excitement. She wants
to share those things with you, and not keep you from them.

4) She doesn’t need to be with you all the time

She has got her own life to live and while she wants to share her life with you, and you with her,
you both have your own path to walk.

She loves that you see your friends and family and get to travel for work. She gets to do her own
things too. It works.

5) There was no doubt that you wanted her to meet your parents

You knew from the moment you met that this was a girl you could take home to your mom.

While there are many theories about how men marry women like their moms, what the theory
really means is that they want to be with someone who cares about them and loves them
unconditionally like their mom does.

6) She’s independent

She’s got a job and a path to walk, and you love her for it. She doesn’t need to depend on you to
bring her happiness in her life, but it’s a nice perk.

She’s worked hard to fend for herself and is proud of the fact she doesn’t need a man to take care
of her.

If you think that you have to spend more money when you’re out, you’re sorely mistaken. She
makes sure it’s 50/50.

7) She likes to try new things in and out of the bedroom

Sex is important to every relationship and if you’ve got a woman who is not afraid to try new
things then hang on to her. Adventure in life usually translates well into an adventure in life.

She has energy and passion when she’s in the bedroom. She lets it all go and releases all of the
tension for your benefit.

8) She’s got her own opinions

She’ll tell you what she thinks, but she doesn’t expect you to agree with her all the time. She
respects that you both have your own point of views in the world.

But one thing is certain when you’re dealing with her:

She’ll express how she feels, even if it makes certain people feel uncomfortable.

9) She doesn’t hide her life from others

She loves to show you off to her friends and family and loves to tell people how happy you are –
you like knowing that you bring her that kind of joy.

10) She doesn’t generalize her statements

Even when she is mad at you, she doesn’t lump you into the “every man is the same” category.
You are an individual, and she knows that. She’ll play fair, even during a fight.

11) She has goals

Women with ambition are worth marrying. Not only do they help raise you up to another level in
your own life, but they are wonderful to be around.
“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness.”
– Oprah

12) You feel lucky to be with her

You catch yourself being in disbelief that this amazing woman wants to be with you. That’s all
you need to know.

Finding someone who leaves you in awe of how lucky you are is worth settling down with – that
feeling never goes away.

So if you are wondering whether you are ready to tie the knot, consider all that your partner
brings to your life and how you can contribute to her life.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and it takes a lot of work, but when you are matched well to
your partner, everything in life becomes a lot easier.

13) She’s powerful yet feminine

Women don’t need to act like men to achieve things in life. They recognize that they can be
women, be powerful in a female way and succeed because of it, not in spite of it.

“I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls
are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.” – Audrey
Hepburn

14) She’s into her looks

While she might not be the most beautiful woman to the rest of the world, a powerful woman
knows what she’s got and she flaunts it in a way that makes her feel even more powerful.

She’s confident in her looks and doesn’t care when other women or men try to bring her down.

15) She’s keen to take care of herself

As part of the attention she pays to her appearance, she works out, eats right, and gets her sleep.
A high-powered woman knows how to take care of herself.

She knows that the best way to take of you is to take care of herself first.

16) She’s going to care about you

Even though she doesn’t need a friend, lover, or business partner, she’ll take the time to care for
others and make sure they are looked after.
She might not always put others before herself, but she will care for them as if they mean the
world to her.

17) She’s got her act together

High-quality women know how to control their emotions and are not ashamed of the way they
feel. They can laugh, cry, yell, celebrate, share, and be happy without the worry of being judged
or ridiculed.

She won’t hide how she’s feeling or play games. She expresses how she feels and won’t be
afraid to let you know about it.

18) She’s well-spoken

Whether she’s fluent in Italian or English, or any other language, she speaks it well. She makes
an impact with her actions and her words.

You won’t mistake her for someone who doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

19) She can carry a room

A high-powered woman can hang with the best of them. She can work a room and carry it if
need be. She doesn’t need someone else to take the lead. She’s comfortable doing that on her
own and for as long as needed.

20) She doesn’t play games

Women with power don’t need to play games. She’s tuned into what is going on around her and
can tell when someone is trying to play her.

If you are wondering which one of you is going to play the fool, rest assured, it’s not her.

21) She sets boundaries

A high-powered woman doesn’t just let anyone into her life and she knows when she needs to
make changes to continue on her own journey.

Boundaries play an important role in her life because they help her determine what stays and
what goes, who stays and who goes, and where she’s going without any fear of how she’ll get
there.
Here are 11 common traits quality women share:

1. She takes care of herself

A woman who takes pride in her herself garners immediate attention and respect. She’s
responsible and accountable for what she does and doesn’t do and refrains from undeservedly
blaming anyone for anything. This kind of woman is reliable, hard-working, and confident.

2. She’s comfortable in her own skin

That sort of woman knows her own self-worth and has the confidence to back it up. Though she
may be insecure at times (she’s only human), she’s able to look into the mirror with pride. This
woman is also intelligent enough to realize that her opinion about her appearance is the one that
matters.

3. She has a strong sense of independence

In other words, she doesn’t NEED you – and this is a positive thing. An independent woman
isn’t reliant on anybody for her personal needs. She hasn’t fallen for you just so that you could
provide for her financial, mental or physical necessities. The woman has entered the relationship
as an equal partner – and is willing to shoulder the burden at any time if need be.

4. She isn’t self-absorbed or self-centered

Of course, a quality woman is not self-absorbed or self-centered. Quite the opposite, actually –
she often gives more than she takes and puts others before herself. In a relationship, this
woman’s selflessness is evident. She wants love, honesty, and respect for you.

5. She’s not interested in drama

Theatrics do not interest a quality woman – something that reinforces her high level of maturity.
This woman will not play childish games, escalate a conflict, or seek to make you jealous. It’s
not an understatement that she probably despises unnecessary drama as much (if not more than)
you do.

6. She inspires you to be the best version of yourself

A quality woman knows what you’re capable of becoming, and will encourage this without
making a fuss about it. She desires you to reach your full potential because she both loves and
respects you and your abilities.

7. She is level-headed about conflict

As a refined, mature, and intelligent woman, she understands the inevitability of occasional
conflict. Something that separates a quality woman from the rest is that she remains logical and
poised about the situation. She encourages and anticipates an amicable solution to whatever
conflict may surface.

8. She’s opinionated and open-minded

She is not afraid to make her opinions known and stick to her guns. She also possesses the
knowledge to articulate her beliefs. Perhaps most important, she is tolerant of others and actively
listens to what they have to say. In the context of a relationship, her opinionated yet open-minded
outlook means she doesn’t require validation; nor does she expect you to appease her.

9. She’s real when it comes to intimacy

Quite simply, a high character woman isn’t bashful about intimacy. You’ll know when she’s
ready for the next step, and she isn’t shy about stating what she is and isn’t comfortable with. A
quality woman approaches intimacy as she does with many other things: with collectedness and
maturity.

10. She always seems to leave a positive impression

As mentioned, a quality woman possesses great character. She’s confident, smart, open, honest,
and loyal. For these reasons and others, she never ceases to leave a good impression on people.
Odds are most – if not all – of your family and friends admires and respects her.

A good woman moves past petty jealousies.

While some jealousy [protectiveness] is natural in a relationship, it’s important that both partners
are secure enough in themselves and each other to know where to focus their energy.

A mature woman will allow the man in her life to have his freedom, providing he doesn’t betray
her trust.

A good woman is intellectually challenging.

There is no denying that someone’s looks are what initially draws us to them. It’s difficult to spot
a great personality from across the room. Many a fling was built on physical attraction alone, but
how long can it last?

When conversations lack depth or intrigue, we often fill our time with physical activity together,
but it is impossible to build a real connection or lasting relationship with someone on that alone.
Being intellectually challenging and having the ability to hold real discussions about meaningful
topics, will always trump shallow beauty in the long run.

A good woman is honest and genuine.

A good woman is empathetic.

Being compassionate, supportive, and encouraging towards your partner is a huge part of
building a successful relationship. Nobody wants a person who is a “Debbie Downer” all the
time and will not support them in their endeavors or their times of need.

A good woman is ambitious.

In addition to supporting and encouraging you pursuing your own goals and dreams, she will
have her own as well. A mature woman has a vision for her future and chases after it with
voracity.

A mature woman will be someone you can take on the world with. A partner in crime, a
teammate in your relationship, and in life.

A good woman is consistent.

Being consistent is a valuable virtue because it lets your partner know that you really are who
you are. You haven’t sent your “representative” to get to know them during the first couple of
months of dating, but then suddenly transform once they’ve committed themselves to you.

To clarify the point, think of consistency as the opposite of volatility. If someone is

A good woman puts in effort for you.

I am all about giving in relationships. I believe seeing your significant other happy should also
make you happy – but it is important to understand that it goes both ways.

Her putting in effort doesn’t have to be much. It can be something as simple as slipping the
waiter her debit card to pay for dinner. It’s no secret that sometimes the romance wears off of
longer term relationships, but you shouldn’t let it – and neither should she.

If a woman continues to do what she knows attracted you in the first place, even after she got
you a long time ago, it shows she cares about keeping you around.

A good woman carries herself with class.

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again. Class has nothing to do with the price tag on your
outfit. Class is about the dignity you carry yourself with and the level of respect you show to
those around you.
It doesn’t matter what kind of car someone is driving, what part of town they live in, or what
brand of clothing they’re wearing – if they have an ugly attitude and embarrass others in public,
none of it matters.

A good woman works to improve herself.

Whether it be committing to reading a new book or watching a documentary on a topic she wants
to learn more about, a mature woman is always looking to improve in order to live a happier life.

In a generation of photoshop and ultra-thin fashion models, there is so much emphasis on

A good woman will make you want to be the best version of yourself, without changing who you
really are.

This is an identical point to the last one in the male version of this article, because it is equally
true for both genders. A woman will empower those around her. She will strive for greatness and
therefore inspire others to strive for it as well. This not only includes friends and co-workers, but
also significant others.

As Mark Twain said – Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people
always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Gentlemen, we all know that women like this are hard to find. If you are fortunate enough to get
her attention, make sure you do what it takes to make her feel special, every day.
