It's Confirmed: Almost 90% of Women Consider This to Be The Most Attractive Quality in a Guy

A new survey conducted by Sunshine.co.uk asked over 2,000 women between the ages of 18 and 34 what they thought to be the most desirable quality in a man.

89 per cent of all participants said that a caring personality was the number one thing they look for in a guy. That's all well and good, but don't think a fat wallet isn't a turn on – 75 per cent of women ranked financial security in second spot.  

Good looks came in at number three, with three out of four women ranking sexiness a crucial aspect of choosing a partner. Other notable entries in the top 10 include a love of travelling, a cracking sense of humour and a high sex drive.

"I think this list of top 10 traits that female millennials look for in potential partners says a lot about where they are in their lives, with many prioritising travelling over starting a family," said Chris Clarkson, managing director of Sunshine.co.uk.

"That makes a lot of sense, as it's good to get travelling out of your system before settling down with little ones, who could restrict where you travel for a little while."

If you're peeved off at this list, you probably aren't alone. Whatever happened to the age-old advice of "just be yourself"? What if we aren't a caring, financially-stable, attractive guy?

Before you think females have been lying to you your entire life, you can take heart from the qualities that narrowly missed the top 10: cooking skills (32 per cent), TV/film/music (29 per cent), love of animals (21 per cent) and intelligence (18 per cent) rounds off the list.

Here's the complete top 10 list:

1. Caring Personality - 89%
2. Financial Security - 77%
3. Good Looks - 75%
4. Desire to Travel - 69%
5. Good Sense of Humour - 62%
6. Desire to Have a Family One Day - 50%
7. Can Drive/Has a Car - 47%
8. High Sex Drive - 44%
9. Sociable Personality - 41%
10. Ambition - 38%
