So,this is the kind of woman men really want...

Knowing the rationale behind the choices men make regarding partners has proved to be impossible. However, a new research is giving is an insight into the kind of woman men want..

According to the new study,the majority of men want to settle down with a woman who is cleverer than them after being inspired by George Clooney.It's known as the "Clooney Effect"

Modern men want to follow the example of the actor, 53, who married his wife Amal, 37, a world renowned human rights lawyer, last September.

The research said that 87 per cent of males would be happy with a woman who is more intellectual than them and earns more money.

Nearly half actively seek out an ‘independent, career-driven woman’ as a potential life partner.And some 58 per cent would even be happy with a woman who is ‘considerably taller’ than they are, the study found.

Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher said that the days of men wanting a dependent partner were over.
