Ten traits that make a great girlfriend

A great girlfriend won't ever cause scenes in public or in front of his friends and family, and will always wait to discuss matters with him in private. If she respects him, chances are that she will behave in a tactful and diplomatic manner in most situations, which is definitely a good thing.

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 him, but also for herself. She should always look her best and be well put together - matching lingerie is a definite plus.

He has to be proud to have her on his 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 he thinks her full bottom or uncontrollable curls are beautiful, he's allowed.

8. She's sexual
While we're on the topic, a great girlfriend has to be sexually compatible with him. For instance, if he's into S&M and she's more the 'fluffy lingerie' type, that's a problem. The two of them 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 he and she have an undeniable attraction towards each other, and are able to communicate their desires verbally (or with physical cues). It is important that they please each other in the bedroom, or on top of the dryer whatever the case may be.

9. She's intelligent
Everyone knows that the bimbo routine gets really old, really fast. Instead of being the one in total control, he'll find himself 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 him and keep him on his toes. She won't let him get bored of her. Besides, it's nice to have something to talk about between all that chandelier-hanging sex.

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 him and is constantly after him, she will eventually make him feel like he's suffocating, which is a surefire way to get him 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 him - while still missing him, of course - then she must be a great girlfriend.
