Ten Things Healthy Men Look for in a Woman

Reading Time: 8 minutes Women often mistakenly take their cues from advertising and media when they are trying to figure out what a man wants in a woman.

Two years ago, Luke and Ryan Hart’s father shot dead their mother, Claire, and their 19-year-old sister, Charlotte, before turning his gun on himself. This happened days after Charlotte and Claire had left the family home in Lincolnshire in a bid for freedom. Until then, Lance Hart had exercised total control over his family.
