This sounds like common sense, but women like a man who has good self esteem
and is confident in his conviction. If you are funny, that helps a lot too as
a good sense of humor can really break the ice on a date and sustain it if it
becomes a relationship.
Also remember that it is not a requirement that your future mate is like you.
It is good to have some common ground that you can agree on and shared
interests, but your relationship will be strong if she can be your polar
opposite.
For example, I have a strong background in acting as well as improv/sketch
comedy and I wouldn't date another theatre chick. It would be too exausting
and I prefer women that are a little bit more grounded and serious.
