Are you worried about your relationship prospects because you're balding? What if you're a little on the short side? Or what if you have a few bad habits in your closet? Well, relax. If you have other redeeming qualities, like a great personality and a kind heart, she will probably be willing to overlook some of your less fortunate traits. Indeed, when a woman is finished sowing her wild oats and is looking to settle down with a boyfriend, she takes many things into account. She will look at you as a package and see which things she can try to change and which she can live with.

But just as importantly, she also takes her own personal situation into account. Her age, how long she's been single and her past relationships will all play a role in her decision to be with you.

Below are a number of traits and characteristics that men tend to stress over, but that, surprisingly, women can and will often overlook. And if my word isn't enough, I have also included the results from a poll of discerning women who bluntly dished about which characteristics they'd put up with in a man for the sake of a relationship.

So read on and prepare to finally let go of some of your insecurities -- their answers might leave you pleasantly surprised.

As we get older, I will be honest. The shit that bothered us in our 20s, doesn't matter anymore. Remember when we cared to know about Prince Harry, who he was dating, or how good he looked in his military uniform? In our late 30s and beyond, we don't give a shit. Only the media does, just to sell papers to make money. Same with politics, most of us used to care in our 20s, now-a-days, regardless of age, we don't give a shit about Trump vs anyone - all of the politicians are liars, regardless of the political Party. They only care about the vote and nothing more. Here is an idea, why don't we stop voting? Perhaps the rich political people will wake up and listen to the rest of the world.... Okay now to the point of the article:

Physical Characteristics

60% of women said they could overlook a man's weight
60% of women said they don't care if a man is baldWhy this is the case: According to the women polled, there is a big distinction between what they are looking for in a fling or a short-term relationship and what they want in a serious boyfriend. In the long term, women tend to put less emphasis on aesthetic concerns like weight, baldness or overall looks.This is not because they don't value a toned physique or a full head of hair, but women tend to be realistic creatures and if they can't have it all, this is often where they'll compromise (sometimes with the idea that they can change you down the line). So if you click in other ways and your personalities mesh well together, relax. Your little physical imperfections probably won't get in the way of a meaningful relationship together.

Personality

40% of women said they could deal with a lazy man (someone who doesn't help with the chores or who watches too much TikTok)
40% of women said they could ignore bad habits (like public belching, farting and nose picking)
10% of women said they could live with a man who doesn't have a sense of humor

Why this is the case: It's easy for women to ignore your laziness and bad habits for two reasons. First, neither one is intrinsically important to the relationship (annoying and gross, yes, but not detrimental to the relationship itself). And second, she might figure that with a certain amount of nagging and training, she can get you to change your ways. Either way, neither of these issues is a deal breaker.

A sense of humor, on the other hand, seems to be fundamentally more important to a woman. She wants someone who is light-hearted and can have a good laugh. But don't sweat it if you aren't the funniest guy in the room; you don't need to be a comedian to win her heart. After all, if she is looking for a long-term relationship, her priority is a nice person with a good heart -- if you can also laugh together, all the better.

Out of Your Control

80% of women don't care if you are shorter than them
90% of women can overlook your ageWhy this is the case: While every woman wants to be able to wear heels alongside her partner, in the grander scheme of things, this is not a high priority. Though short men seem to be at a distinct disadvantage in casual dating situations, when a woman is looking for a long-term partner, height is not at the top of her list. Therefore, if you are confident and carry yourself well, she will feel happy by your side whatever your height.As for other qualities that are out of your control, like age, women seem to be equally ready to accept them. They seem particularly unconcerned about settling down with a younger or older man if the relationship is right. This is especially true for a woman who is more mature and seeking a serious relationship; the important thing is for the two of you to be at the same stage of life, and to both be ready to settle down and give the relationship a good shot.

Financial Security

70% of women said they aren't after you for your moneyWhy this is the case: The women polled almost unanimously agreed on the following: They care less about the sheer amount of money in your bank account and more about your general career drive and ambition. In other words, if you have a good work ethic and concrete goals and aspirations, this is more than enough. This seemed to be the case for two reasons. First, most women said they want to feel that you are pulling your own weight in the relationship, and second, they want a degree of financial security. But this kind of security doesn't have to come in the form of millions of dollars in the bank. If you are a hard worker with ambition, this is usually all the insurance that a woman needs.Don't freak out if you have any of the above characteristics; by now you should know that none of them are total deal breakers. When a woman is looking to settle down in a long-term relationship, she'll look at you as a package deal and make an overall assessment of what she can change and what's essential to her.However, remember this: It is unlikely that a woman will accept a man with all of the above, but no one characteristic will make or break you. So your best bet is to accept yourself as you are, and within no time, I'm sure she'll follow suit and do the same.
