You know ladies, there's always talk about what women want but you know it takes two to tango. Did you ever consider what men want? Nowadays, it's always about the demand of the women and how to please her. Muslim sisters nowadays can reject or accept proposals because at the end of the day it's the decision of the sister because she has to give up the most.  For marriage, sisters have to give up their family who raised her, her house she grew up in, and most of the time her last name which identifies her family background.  With all the sacrifices the women make, you still should look into what men want. Sisters who cannot get married or still haven't found anyone should really look into what men want and should compromise WITHOUT compromising your own values.

Men Are Simple
Whether you like it or not, men are simple creature. There is such thing as "guys are complicated".  Guys are rational, and they are straightforward, and they will not play games.  Sisters, remember all guys are not the same but they all want the same thing.  After marriage, you give them these things, and he will treat you like a queen inshaAllah.  Guys want the following:

• Guys love food; to reach a man's heart, go through his stomach, which is a universal fact for all men.
• Nurturing; as in taking care of him, such as giving him a massage after a hard days work as a small example.
• Love and love making.
• Guys want loyalty; that means, don't go check out or flirting with other men, even if it seems harmless to you, it's very harmful to your marriage and your relationship with your husband.  (And this goes the same for the guys in relation to their wives.)

Men Want a Wife Not Another Income
Men want a wife who can take care of them. Men don't want to deal with career oriented women. It's okay to have a career as a woman but keep in mind, men want a wife and not another income. If you think your husband will compromise himself for your career then I can assure you that you will have a difficult time finding your special someone. If you want a career, then try to make your career around your family and not the other way around.  It's in a man's nature to find someone who will burn the fire of love at home.

Men Want a Partner Not a Boss
The wives in the families keep the family together so they have authority in the family. However, with that authority don't think that you can put your husband on a leash. Look at the Western society and how family life is breaking down, and it starts with the mutual respect between the spouses. The wife is the glue to the entire family.  Allah (SWT) created women perfectly to attract her male partner.  A women's voice, her body's shape, her beautiful face, her facial glow, her soft skin, and her love is what makes her feminine.  A woman's love is unmatched; no money in the world can match up to a woman's love and for that reason ladies, you should choose well and give your love to a deserving man.  With that said, the man will give you back that love and more.

If anything I said is wrong, it came from my faults, and I ask you to forgive me, and if I said anything good then it came from Allah (SWT). Ameen.

Muslim women are plenty and unfortunately they outnumber the Muslim men so, less options. And each one of those women are looking or that special man that they can connect to so they can decide if that man is who they will spend the rest of their life with. Now the problem with all this is that the good Muslim men are not that vocal. They are the ones who are quiet and do not say much in gatherings and programs. Unfortunately they are usually the ones who are the pious ones and who will treat women right and not any sisters notices them. Usually the non-practicing or the semi-practicing Muslim brothers are the ones who are the "ladies men" type. They are vocal and they have the confidence to put themselves out there for the Muslim sisters to notice.

Good Girls Like Bad Boys

The phrase "good girls like bad boys," is true and there's a reason for that. The bad boys are the ones who have confidence which is a very attractive to the girls. These confident Muslim men are always the first ones to be taken. Confidence is what makes a man, a man. Confidence defines the masculinity in men. The number of practicing Muslim brothers with confidence are not that many. Usually confident Muslim brothers are in a professional field that requires a lot of interaction with others, such as lawyers, doctors, business executives, marketing professionals, etc.

Muslim Men Get Over It

If you are a brother and you always think if this is haram or that is haram, then please get over it. Read and follow the hadith and approach the girl with pure intentions. If you think you made a mistake then keep in mind that Allah (SWT) is merciful and ask for forgiveness. If you don't grow some balls and gain the confidence then how are you expected to be known; pardon me for the language, but it's frustrating to see the good ones without any confidence. When you approach a sister, don't be so weird or awkward, just be yourself. Don't make up things just to impress her or make small talk. The best way to approach a sister is to ask about her to her friends or family. An indirect approach brings about a comfortable setting to see if she is interested or not.

Do Your Part and Let Allah Takes Care of the Rest

The Almighty, Allah (Azza Wa Jal), is the master of our affairs, but he gave us the gift of free will. We have the option to choose and do whatever we want; however, we should do things that he permitted and things that will please him. Muslim brothers, don't be afraid of approaching a sister for marriage. Get that thought of being rejected before approaching the girl out of your head. Follow the Islamic way and gain that confidence. Do your part and make dua and let Allah (Azza Wa Jal) take care of the rest. If you approached the Muslim sister with good intentions of marrying her and to have a good Islamic life then you did your part. If it didn't work out at that time then it's ok because nothing is what it seems. Allah has ways to change things around in ways that us humans cannot even imagine. It may not happen right away, it could happen months or years down the line, only Allah knows. If it's not meant not to be then it's not meant to be. My main point is do your part and let Allah take care of the rest; if she is good for you and your religion then it will happen, if she's not good for you and your religion then it won't happen, but at least you tried.
