Ever wonder why some women effortlessly attract high-quality men — while others feel like dating is one endless dead end? It’s not about “being perfect” or following outdated rules. In this episode of Dating With Katy, I sat down with my longtime friend Terence to uncover what great men are really looking for in a relationship — and his answers may surprise you.
Men Notice More Than You Think
Terence revealed that good men aren’t scanning your Instagram feed for perfect vacation photos or looking to see how much designer fashion you own. What they’re noticing is your energy, authenticity, and how you show up in real life.
As he put it: “If a man feels wanted and respected, he will move mountains for the woman.”
That’s a game-changer, ladies. Respect — not just “love” — is the word men need to hear and feel from you.
Authenticity Beats Perfection Every Time
We dove deep into first-date dynamics and why natural confidence is more attractive than an overly polished exterior.
As I said on the show: “Be the best first date he’s ever had — make it about you being you and really be that girl.”
The Power of Respect
This part of our conversation really struck me. Women often show love in words and actions, but men are wired to respond to respect. Instead of always saying, “I love how hard you work,” try saying, “I respect how hard you work.” That single word hits differently — it speaks to a man’s deepest need to feel valued and trusted.
Great relationships don’t happen by accident — they’re designed with intention, effort, and mutual understanding. Whether you’re dating for fun or hoping to remarry, learning these principles now will serve you for life.
As I always say: fit, fun, feminine. Show your energy. Be authentic. And never underestimate the power of respect.
