\"\"<\/a>Ladies, it is your turn.<\/p>\n

A singles survey of almost 5500 unattached adults conducted by MarketTools.com for Match.com sheds light on what singles look for in potential relationships. And yes, physical attraction still makes the list. I already blogged on what men look for in women. Now, let’s take a look at what women judge men on when considering a potential date.<\/p>\n

The number 1 physical characteristic was the same as men: TEETH. A whopping 71% listed teeth. Obviously, that smile makes a difference!<\/p>\n

The rest of the characteristics ranked as follows:<\/p>\n

#2 Grammar (61%)<\/p>\n

#3 Clothes (58%)<\/p>\n

#4 Hair (53%)<\/p>\n

#5 Nails\/hands (52%)<\/p>\n

#6 Have\/Not having tattoo (34%)<\/p>\n

#7 Shoes (29%)<\/p>\n

#8 The car he drives (24%)<\/p>\n

#9 Accent (22%)<\/p>\n

#10 Electronic devices carried (9%)<\/p>\n

It is interesting how important grammar is to making a good impression. Also, self-care is an issue. Women are paying attention to grooming.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In terms of the relationship, the most important ranked as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1 Someone who treats me with respect (84%)<\/p>\n

#2 Someone I can trust and confide in (77%)<\/p>\n

#3Someone who has a sense of humor and can make me laugh (58%)<\/p>\n

#4 Someone who shares the same values I do (47%)<\/p>\n

#5 Someone who is comfortable sharing his wants, needs and desires (46%)<\/p>\n

Hmmm…only the women weighed in on values.<\/p>\n

And what women voted as least important:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone who is eager to marry (6%)<\/p>\n

Someone who eats similar foods (9%)<\/p>\n

Someone who wants to have children and shares my political beliefs. (tied at 11%)<\/p>\n

Someone who has a similar education level (12%)<\/p>\n

Someone from the same ethnic background (14%)<\/p>\n
