“The most important thing for me is companionship, because I believe this is really what can remain solid and last through the years of a relationship. I want someone with whom I have first and foremost a solid friendship, because then you are more equals, you enjoy doing things together. Once the initial excitement is gone, you’ll still have a solid foundation -like the relationships you have with your best friends- and they will most likely be someone you can depend on.” Nada El Ayat, 29
He said, “… “First, I need a woman not a child; a woman who achieved something in her career. I don’t like women who just work for the sake of money. Also, to love what she does and do it with passion. Maybe since I love my work, I’m looking for the same in the woman with me. Second, I want an outgoing woman who socializes with the crowd easily.” Karim Aboul Fotouh, 29
“The thing I really want in a woman is emotional stability.” Ahmed Osama, 28
“I need a woman who is wise, in order to be able to handle my bad temper. Plus, smart women are always beautiful. I don’t like talkative or shallow women; I like a woman with interests. I want her to be my comfort zone. Moreover, she needs to accept having her freedom restrained.” Mohamed Nabil, 24
“I want her to be understanding and generous. I would like her to think about others before herself. I would love if she plays sports, someone I can chill with every now and then, and not to expect an adventure every time we go out. Finally, I really want someone who actually cares about me and helps me achieve my goals. To me, looks aren’t everything, because if you love someone, you’ll automatically see their beauty. Personality is what really counts.” Ramy Raafat, 21
“I like a woman who takes care of her appearance. She has to be physically fit, funny, cheerful, and generous. She also has to love hanging around my friends and I. She must love dogs and horses, especially dogs, because I’m kind of addicted to them. Above all, it is crucial that she likes soccer as it’s my life. She has to be appreciative, loyal, and supportive in any decision I make. If I don’t find these qualities in a woman, I might not love or marry her.” Ahmed El Gohary, 27
“I want a girl who is hot, sweet, straightforward, caring, athletic, loving, wild, passionate, smart, and simple. I neither want a Barbie nor a tomboy, in between is good. She must have nice hair; it is very important to me.” Sherif Massoud, 22
“If a woman is smart enough, she will give a man what he wants and needs; so what I want is a smart woman.” Ibrahim Hatem, 30
