What do you think women want in a man?

Do you think what women say they want in a man reflects what they really want?

When it comes down to it do you think finances are more important than character?

What character traits do you think women look for in a potential partner?
Things like: kindness, self-control, awareness, sensitivity, ambition, desire, passion...

I am curious to know what people think.

I want a man who is intelligent, is into being fit and healthy, has a good sense of humor, values family and friends, is responsible and dependable. In bed, I want him to be an attentive lover, and a man who has a high sex drive. I've never been about what a man can give me materially or financially. For years during my marriage, I largely supported my family and made a good living. I never tossed it up in anyone's face. A relationship is teamwork, give and take, healthy and mature on all levels.

What do you consider a good sense of humor?

I like your perspective. Do you think it is broadly shared?

@MarsSword: A good sense of humor is being able to laugh at oneself or situations in life that are taken way too seriously. A life well lived is based on a positive attitude and outlook. What women want from a man is going to differ. I grew up to be independent and count on myself rather than have unrealistic expectations from others. I'm not rich, but I'm happy and blessed in many ways.
