“While I won’t say I am very materialistic, I think that whoever I am married to should be successful to a large extent. He should have a stable source of income and be able to provide the basic necessities for his family. It is important that a man should be a provider, and it is only such a man that a woman would respect,”  says Lola, 26.
3. Kindness:
“It is important that the man I marry be kind and caring. These are the things that women respond to the most and I would want someone that would care for me. He should be sensitive to me as a woman and willing to understand me,” says Becky, 28.
4. Family Values:
31-year-old Dayo said: “I want a man that not only respect and loves his family, but would also love and respect mine. In this part of the world, when you marry someone, you marry their family also and I would want a man who considers my family as important as he considers me.”
