I must admit that playing the field is a whole
lot of fun, but so is being in a serious
relationship -- provided that it's with the right woman. But how do you know if she really is
the right woman for you? If she possesses the following 10 traits, you better hold on to her for dear life or, before you know it, a guy who already knows where it's at will get his
hands on your "goods."

10. SHE'S INDEPENDENT: No one wants a girlfriend they have to baby-
sit. Once in a while, like if she's had a rough day at work, it's great to be
her shoulder to cry on, but if she can't seem to function without you and
is constantly after you, she will eventually make you feel like you're
suffocating, which is a surefire way to get you running out the nearest
exit. On the other hand, if she has her very own personality and opinions, can
stand on her own two feet, both financially and emotionally, and is able
to enjoy time away from you -- while still missing you, of course -- then
she must be a great girlfriend.

9 SHE'S INTELLIGENT: I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the bimbo routine gets real old,
real fast. A woman who can meet you at an intellectual level is a total
turn-on. Instead of being the one in total control, you'll find yourself
trying to figure out what she's really thinking behind those glazed eyes
of hers -- or if she's actually thinking at all. An intelligent woman will constantly surprise you and keep you on your
toes. She won't let you get bored of her. Besides, it's nice to have
something to talk about between all that chandelier-hanging sex.

8 SHE'S SEXUAL: While we're on the topic, a great girlfriend has to be sexually compatible
with you. For instance, if you're into S&M and she's more the "fluffy
lingerie" type, that's a problem. The two of you have to be on the same
page -- or, at least, she has to be willing to wear leather and use a whip
from time to time. Of course, this doesn't imply that she has to know all the right moves
straight away; it simply means that you and she have an undeniable
attraction towards each other, and are able to communicate your desires
verbally (or with physical cues). It is important that you please each
other in the bedroom, or on top of the dryer -- whatever the case may
be.

7 SHE'S BEAUTIFUL: I know, this one is kind of obvious, but important nonetheless. A great
girlfriend will not only want to look good for you, but also for herself. She
should always look her best and be well put together -- matching lingerie
is a definite plus. You have to be proud to have her on your arm and enjoy the sight of her
in any light. And this doesn't mean that she has to be a Heidi Klum
clone. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if you
think her full bottom or uncontrollable curls are beautiful, you're allowed.

6. SHE RESPECT YOU: This is a biggie. Your woman must respect you. This means that she
listens to you, even if she doesn't necessarily agree with what you're
saying. And, of course, she never tries to demean or belittle you in any
way, shape, or form. A great girlfriend won't ever cause scenes in public or in front of your
friends and family, and will always wait to discuss matters with you in
private. If she respects you, chances are that she will behave in a
tactful and diplomatic manner in most situations, which is definitely a
good thing. Does your woman bring you and the guys beer on poker night?

5. SHE LETS YOU BE THE MAN
Do not -- I repeat -- do not get involved with a woman who tries to get
you to eat cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast and insists that you
give up poker night with the guys. You will end up resenting her more than you can imagine. A good girlfriend lets you be a guy in all your
glory, poker night and all. If she's a great girlfriend, she'll even bring you
and your buddies a couple of beers and make you some of her famous
sandwiches. She has to understand that men and women are different and should
allow you to be yourself. Just like you wouldn't deprive her of going
shopping with her best girlfriend, she shouldn't expect you to give up the
guys for her.

4. SHE'S NAGLESS
There is nothing worse than a nag! A great girlfriend knows this and chooses her battles wisely. She knows when to speak-up and when to
let it slide. You don't want a girlfriend who will give you the heights of
hell for leaving a couple of dishes in the sink occasionally. However, if you live together and you stay out all night without calling
her, and she lets you have it, then you're setting yourself up for disaster.
This is a situation that nobody would let slide -- not even a great
girlfriend.

3. SHE GETS ALONG WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILIES
A great girlfriend will not only help your mom in the kitchen, listen to
your dad's stories, and hang out with your friends, she will enjoy it. She'll
make a real effort to get to know and love the most important people in
your life. And she won't try to get you to ditch your best buds.

2. SHE LOVES YOU
If you have found a woman who loves you for who you really are and not
who you pretend or try to be sometimes, you should definitely hang on
to her. A woman who doesn't try to change you is hard to find. Of
course, everyone has their slightly annoying habits that their mate has
to contend with, but if she really loves you, she will be able to cope with
these.

1. SHE MAKES YOU WANT TO BE A BETTER MAN
Stop making that face... Any man who has a great girlfriend or wife will
tell you that she makes him want to be a better man. She doesn't have
to say or do anything; it just is that way. If you suddenly feel bad about
how you treated your sister or find yourself trying to get your finances in
order, you might want to think about your motivation for doing so. It
could be love.

I hope this helps the ladies in turning out great and the guys in understanding and knowing what you have.
