You asked the wrong question my friend. It should be...
"What do women look for in a husband?"
Most women, if not all, never go looking for a boyfriend. They look for...THE ONE. That one guy who they can date and see if he is "the one" to marry and spend the rest of their lives with.
If you are looking to be a boyfriend, then you are looking for one thing only...nothing long term.
So...You should be asking yourself...Do I have the qualities to be a good husband, father, provider, protector, and life long companion.
If all of that if too complicated for you to deal with...then you are not ready.
Teach a man how to get a girlfriend, and he will always be looking for one.
Teach a man how to get a wife, and he will never have to look for a girlfriend...ever again.

 A decent guy with strong morals, a good education and holding a steady job. He should have the ability and courage to stand by her no matter what, love her unconditionally, respect her and those that she holds close to her.

 It depends on the woman, doesn't it?
I seriously doubt we ALL have the same standards and "wishes" when it comes to partners.
And the "wish list" change as we grow, learn and mature.
Sometimes we don't even KNOW what we want till we meet someone special.
But if you don't want generalizations I'd say:
Chemistry.
Humor.
Honor.
Integrity.
Intelligence.
Those would be my top 5.

 It varies. Some wait for feelings. Some want a man who is their best friend. Some want to have fun. Some have an entire check-list.

 Everyone (male or female) has difference "deal breakers". Some superficial people insist on superficial things like flashy cars and lots of money. Sadly, if something happens and you can no longer provide the flashy cars and money, the superficial people also disappear.
People who are good long term bets are those who have the same values as you and want similar things out of life.
Personally, I find someone who lacks passion for anything in their life a complete no-no. I can listen to someone woffling about what they love - even if it is something I an not at all interested in (as long as it is not something I hate) - as long as they are passionate about it. People light up when they are passionate about something. You see that passion in their eyes.

 Women want to be adored, desired and shown attention, and having a great career, money and personality always helps and can offset lack of any good looks.

 What do people want when buying a car?
What food do people like?
What countries do people visit?
You can't answer because, whilst the general idea is the same (cars that are reliable, food that tastes good, countries that have what they want, etc.) everyone is different and more detailed answers aren't possible.
Women like men who know that not all women are the same and who are happy to learn what they like, not treat them as though they are the same as everyone else. Be a decent person and you've got the basics right - everything else is about finding the right person for you who feels you're also the right person for them.
