What Does a Capricorn Man Like in a Woman?
1. The need to succeed
One thing that lights a Capricorn man’s fire is the quality of ambition.
Capricorn men love it when women are highly motivated to get what they want.
Particularly in terms of their careers.
They like to see a woman mastering her craft and demanding bigger bucks for it.
Anything that gives you status puts you up a notch in the Capricorn man’s books.
Be aware, he wants to see real gains in your life. You have to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
So spare him the details of your dreams. Instead, show him how you’re out there conquering.

2. Sweetness
Just because a woman can take charge doesn’t mean she can’t be a sweetheart, too.
Ideally, the woman a Capricorn man is into has both of these qualities.
Deep down, a Capricorn guy really wants to find his “forever” relationship.
That will be with a woman who is deep, caring and nurturing.
Someone who asks her Capricorn man how his day was with genuine concern.
Polite and socially conscious, the lady for a Capricorn man is kind to everyone she meets and sincere from the bottom of her heart.
3. Feminine energy
Capricorn men tend to be attracted to women who have a distinct feminine energy.
Usually, the types to wear dresses and high heels on a date.
They like sexy, but in an understated way.
Appearance aside, a feminine woman is a perfect companion for the stoic Capricorn man.
Her softness and openness provide safe harbor for the emotions that are difficult for him to express.
He can let down his mask and reveal his own softer, gentler side with her without fear.
4. Traditional values
When it comes to his choice in women, the Capricorn man likes a woman he could “wife.”
For him, that means a woman who wants to be a wife and mother someday.
He prefers (and usually insists) that she drop all other match-making opportunities for him—no casual dating or “playing the field.”
To get with a Capricorn man, a woman must be modest and take it slowly.
This includes sparking a sexual relationship.
Even if he’s feeling lusty, he’d really rather have a woman who is clear-headed enough to make the decision to wait out of a desire to build a solid foundation first.
5. Integrity
Speaking of tradition, Capricorns tend to keep conventional social values such as hard work, respect for one’s elders and no lying, cheating or stealing.
A Capricorn man has a strong moral compass, and he likes a lady who does as well.
If he can find a woman who agrees with him on these things, he’ll feel much more at ease getting close to her.
But she has to be willing to put her money where her mouth is.
The type of woman he goes for will uphold her morals and principles whether people are watching or not.
This also shows him that she won’t lie to him, cheat on him…or steal from him.
Which you may find paranoid, but a Capricorn needs to be sure!
6. Respect
A Capricorn man wants a woman who others hold in high regard.
If she’s straight up admired when she walks into a room, that’ll make her even more appealing to the Capricorn.
Part of it is in the way that she holds herself. She deeply respect herself—and respect is hugely important to Capricorns.
A Cappy should feel like he needs to keep himself in line around you to impress you.

7. A planner
What does your savings account look like?
If the answer is you don’t have one, a Capricorn is going to ask why.
Capricorns guys look for women who take their futures seriously and set themselves up for success.
Financial stability aside, Capricorn men also like general caution and planning.
A well thought-out vacation is his speed, not booking a last-minute flight to Florida having done zero research on accommodations and things to do and see.
Be organized and think things through in advance if you want a Capricorn man to like you.
8. Worldliness
A sophisticated, cultured lady is the Capricorn man’s dream.
She has great taste in food, fashion, music and entertainment, which the Capricorn man loves to share with her.
She knows what’s happening in the news and keeps up with current events.
She’s educated and can talk to the Capricorn man on various topics, including serious and “heavier” subjects like politics and literature.
In short, she’s wise, grown-up and classy as heck.
9. Self-reliance
A woman can be sweet and amazing, but if she can’t support herself, she’s not for the Capricorn man.
Capricorn men like an independent female who doesn’t look to others for security and her self-worth.
Her time is her most valuable asset. She would never throw herself at a man or play high-stakes games trying to get his attention.
No, the woman the Capricorn man prefers is confident and highly capable.
She’s the Capricorn man’s equal, not his groupie.
10. Dependability
Capricorns need stability. The women they choose aren’t wild cards.
The Capricorn man hates surprises, and he certainly doesn’t want to be caught off-guard by a woman who isn’t trustworthy or makes reckless decisions.
He’ll observe closely to see how consistent she is.
If he finds that he can’t rely on her or she can’t make up her mind about a romantic relationship, she’s definitely not the right one for him.
But if she’s steady as a rock and she knows what she wants, he’ll pull her in closer.
