Women today have some very particular ideas about what they want from
their relationships. And their boyfriends. A recent study by Axe
Research Lab, on what women today want from their partners, threw up
some pretty interesting facts about their dating habits. Men, you might
want to take note and strategise accordingly!
Here are some points women between the ages of 18-24, from Mumbai, Pune,
Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh and Delhi / North Capital Region had
to say:
Point # 1
Women (in relationships) want the ability to make choices in life on
their own! About 87.7% women in Mumbai say so!
Girltalk: "I agree! Why should my boyfriend have the ultimate say in
what I do, when I do it and why? He's not my mother! After all, everyone
wants the ability to make choices so that they can live life on their
own terms." -Saumya S, 25, banker
Point # 2
Women love to be with a guy who can bring about a change in their life!
About 93.90% women from Delhi/ NCR, 84% from Mumbai, 92% from Bangalore
say so!
Girltalk: "Yes I certainly would love to be with a guy who adds some
jazz, some glitz, and some glam in my otherwise boring life! I mean,
imagine falling in love with a prince - the next thing I know, I'll be
flying to some faraway dessert land to live the life of a princess! And
seriously, on emotional grounds, I'd certainly want a guy who makes me
happy and keeps me smiling all day long, at all odd times! I really wish
for that kind of a change! I hate to see a frown on my face!" -Wyanet
Vaz, 19, media student
Point # 3
Women find guys who don't believe in change or are dull and boring to be
a big turn-off! You guys might not like that, guys, but nearly 50%
women from across India say so!
Girltalk: "Yes, it is a turn off. Think about it - your guy sports the
same hair cut for years and years! He takes you to the same restaurant
for months after your first date. He refuses to talk to you for a while
because that intrudes on his usual 'sleeping time'. We need change!
Obviously it has to be positive, but well, some change is what we need! I
expect him to behave like a 'man' and not the teenage boy he was when
we first started dating! I need the surprise element in a relationship,
and I believe its 'change' that makes the whole relationship
interesting." -Teesha Dhanpal, 23, management student
Point # 4
Women will happily change boyfriends when they (the women, we mean) say
they want a change! About 56.3% women from Chandigarh say so!
Girltalk: "The change is nice. And I'm still young enough to have a
little fun, meet different people, before I settle down. After all, once
you get married, you can't and shouldn't fool around!" -Niharika S,
24, marketing executive
Point # 5
Women love men who smell good and if the guys' fragrance kept changing
through the day. Stinky men are simply ignored! 49.2% women from
Bangalore say so.
Girltalk: "That's very, very true! Obviously I need him to smell good. A
guy with an unbearable stink will not do! I can't see myself going out
with a guy whose looks get people to notice him, but terrible odour
drives them (including me) away!" -Maryanne Rodriguez, 24, web
designer
