Loyalty is a vital quality that men look for in women they are looking to settle down with.

Knowing that she is someone he can trust as a partner is reassuring.

The reassurance in knowing she won’t go behind his back to cheat on him with someone else, whether it be emotionally or physically.

Complementing this, is a woman who she is nonjudgmental.

Nonjudgmental in the sense that she won’t put him down or judge him when he opens up to her.

Fundamentally, he can be as vulnerable as he wants and she won’t judge him for it.

This is where he knows he can open up to a woman and she will love and accept him for who he is.

Just like loyalty, a woman who is nonjudgmental and accepting of him, whatever his shortcomings are, is a woman who is a great candidate for a long-term relationship.

To get to a place where he knows that she is loyal and nonjudgmental, he needs time to assess her.

Does he trust her around his friends?

Does she demonstrate empathy whenever he reveals something about himself that doesn’t make him look as macho, rendering him more vulnerable as a result?

Time is required for him to make this determination as he constantly exposes her to elements like this.

Furthermore, his goals for the future have to be aligned with the woman’s, and it is not a given that he knows this at the start.

Yes, she has stated a number of future goals that are similar to his in conversation with him, but her words alone won’t be enough.

It’s one thing for her to say that she has a future goal that is similar to his, it’s another thing to spend time with her to verify that she is for real.

Basically, he requires proof that she is legit about her future goals.

This only comes with time spent with her.

Getting to observe what actions she is taking to achieve these long-term goals.

This is how he knows that she isn’t just telling him what he wants to hear to get him to commit to her.

She is showing through her actions that she has the same future goals, as she is working towards said goals each and every day in some capacity.

Once he verifies this over time, she is that much closer to getting him to a place where he is 100% sure that he has found the one.

To finally get there, he has to know that she is his biggest fan.

This is a little different from having a nonjudgmental temperament, which is just as important.

This is more so about knowing that he has her support in whatever he does.

She is constantly there to cheer him on.

If he decides to pursue a completely new and different career, he has her support.

The same applies to developing a new hobby or interest.

She supports him.

He loves that.

There is a saying that, “Behind every great man is a great woman.”

This adage isn’t far from the truth.

Lots of men love the idea of having a woman by their side who has their back regardless of what he chooses to endeavor on.

Her support is his inspiration.

Once this quality is confirmed, alongside her loyalty, being nonjudgmental, and an alignment of future goals, he is 100% sure that he has found the one.
