1. Openness and Honesty: Openness simply implies possessing an accommodating attribute. It also suggests lack of secrecy, while honesty is an attribute of truthfulness. As a man, finding these attributes in a woman makes things a lot easier for you. Ordinarily, people do not become open to random people.

This is a soft skill which can be inherent, acquired and developed. Communication shouldn’t be one-sided.

Conclusion
We intentionally refrained from using the regular clause ‘an ideal woman’ because after all there is no such thing as ideal ‘human’. It is a concept that only existed in the mind. In effect, there is still no perfect woman out there. The above discussed list constitutes basically those qualities which when inhere in a woman, makes the man complete.
They are still those basic qualities expected of an average human being, gender regardless. Better put; they are those humanistic qualities we owe to each other, especially to those whom we are in close obligation and relation to. Absence of those items suggests some degrees of incompatibility and foresees possible difficulties with dealing with the person.
