What do men really want in a partner? What do women look for? And do those priorities change as we get older?

In this solo episode, Elliott explores one of the biggest debates in dating and relationships: are men and women actually looking for different things, or are we all searching for the same qualities in different ways?

From physical attraction and personality to financial security, confidence, ambition, trust, morals and lifestyle compatibility, Elliott breaks down the key traits people commonly look for in a partner and asks whether our priorities evolve through different stages of life.

Do men continue to prioritise physical attraction as they age? Do women place less importance on financial security once they've built successful lives of their own? And what happens when the children leave home and couples are left looking across the table at each other for the first time in years?

This episode also explores:
• Why physical attraction remains important for many people
• The role of confidence versus arrogance
• Why trust and reliability become increasingly valuable
• Whether independence strengthens relationships
• How ambition influences attraction
• The impact of shared morals and values
• Why lifestyle compatibility matters more than many realise
• The traits we think we want versus the traits we actually need

Most importantly, Elliott asks listeners to reflect on their own choices:

And are they the same as they were ten or twenty years ago?
