Men are sharing what they think makes a "good girlfriend"

From Cosmopolitan

We all have different things we look for in a romantic partner/partners, but are there common elements that constitute a good partner or a healthy relationship? These men on Reddit have been sharing what they consider to be the traits of a "good girlfriend" and if anything, it goes to show that we're all looking for similar things, regardless of gender.

1. "Someone who has my back and loves me but loves me enough that they will call me out if I'm being a total fuck wit." [via]

2. "Someone who puts effort into the relationship, communicates well so we are both on the same page, at least puts up with the things I like even if she doesn't have an interest in them, does small things like hold my hand, gives hugs, etc., is nice and respectful to me and other people, has goals in her life to move forward and doesn't expect me to do everything for her. Of course I would do all the same things for her." [via]

3. "Someone who actually respects you, listens to you, takes time to learn about the things you're interested in and always be supportive of you." [via]

4. "Someone who is kind: kind to me, kind to herself, kind to others. Not a pushover or anything, but just not vindictive, mean, or petty." [via]

5. "Someone who likes me for me and respects me enough to agree to disagree on some things but won’t hesitate to call me out if I’m being a fuck wit. Also a good sense of humour is top tier, be able to roast me and be roasted." [via]

6. "One who respects me and my freedom as much as I do hers. Not more, not less..." [via]

7. "Someone who is both your girlfriend, and your best friend. Someone with whom you have deep understanding of each other, and who always has your back." [via]

8. "Someone who is always willing to put in the effort to fix relationship issues." [via]

9. "Someone who likes you equally as much you like them. So it's not an out of balance relationship, with one person being obsessed with the other person and the other person inching away." [via]

10. "A person you can show your vulnerable side to without getting judged and without regretting it afterwards." [via]

11. "Someone who fights with you for the relationship instead of fighting you over the relationship, when shit hits the fan in life." [via]

12. "Someone who supports your ambitions, but calls you out on your bullshit." [via]

13. "Someone who lets me truly be myself with no judgement and forgives my silly mistakes." [via]
