15 Traits Of A High-Value Woman — Tips On How To Become One

This reminds me of “She’s beauty and she’s grace, she’s Miss United States…” Contrary to popular belief, a high-value woman isn’t a beauty pageant winner or an unattainable goddess. Being one does not entail subscribing to norms of conventional femininity or possessing superhuman qualities. In fact, she is her most authentic self. 

Kudos to you if you’re striving toward this goal – the journey of becoming a high-value person is as enriching as the destination itself. But it’s easy to go astray on this path with so much false information surrounding the subject. We’re here to debunk a few myths with this specially curated list of high-value woman traits. We hope it lends much-needed clarity to your vision and steers your quest in the right direction.

We are going to work as a team to answer two important questions. What makes a woman high-value? And how can I become one? 3, 2, 1, here we go!

What Is A High-Value Woman?

The term ‘high-value woman’ is generally understood with regard to dating life. It refers to a desirable woman that a man would want to be in a romantic relationship with. However, these connotations are archaic in the twenty-first century. It is time to adopt a different perspective on being a high-value woman. 

A healthy relationship comprises healthy individuals. Both partners bring something unique to the table; their contribution and way of being makes the bond fulfilling, unique, and loving. Hence, a well-respected woman is the best version of herself. She is a stable and consistent human who possesses qualities that enrich every social relationship in her life. In a nutshell – no toxic people traits and no red flags! 

Becoming a high-value woman means realizing your potential to the fullest. By extension, you become an ideal partner for somebody else. Our list of these traits will help you embark on the path of personal growth and self-love. (In no way is this a guidebook on becoming somebody a man finds appealing.) Take a look at these 15 stellar characteristics which define a high-value woman.

15 Important Traits Of A High-Value Woman

American author-activist Bell Hooks famously wrote in her book, Communion, “The one person who will never leave us, whom we will never lose, is ourself. Learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin.” As we said before, approach this list with the intention of becoming a better person, not a girlfriend. (The latter follows in the footsteps of the former) 

Let’s paint a broad picture of traits possessed by a high-value woman. There can’t be a one-size-fits-all template for growth; so, imbibe these qualities in your own style. Always remember that there are no definitions you have to adhere to. Be your glorious self unapologetically. Enough with our words of advice, let’s get right to the question of the hour: What makes a woman high-value? 

1. She’s confident 

You will see signs of guys being nervous around her because of this. Confidence is one of the first signs of a high-value woman. She carries herself with self-assuredness and boy, can you see it. There are different ways of exuding confidence and she’s mastered them all. Her body language is on point (no room for slouching) and her speech is spot on. A high-value woman will channel positive energy and state her opinion clearly and concisely without hesitation. To put it simply, she’s got a lot of self-conviction. She second-guesses herself only occasionally.

2. She values growth 

As the saying goes – nobody’s perfect. But instead of letting this invite complacency, a high-value female has high standards. She has a mindset where she focuses on growth. She has a genuine desire for growth. She wants to grow individually and in all the other aspects like:

• Financial growth
• Intellectual growth
• Emotional growth
• Spiritual growth

It could be something as simple as learning a new language, taking care of her mental well-being, being there for other women and their dreams, or trying a new recipe. Trying novel things and learning from those around her is a high-value woman’s hallmark. If somebody corrects her mistake, she isn’t going to take it personally – for her, experience is the best teacher. 

3. She’s independent

Independence is one of the finest qualities of a high-value woman. She is 10/10 self-sufficient in all spheres of life. Naturally, she is only attracted to high-value men. When you see somebody dating an independent woman, the relationship will not exhibit patterns of codependency. Both partners will enjoy leading a life beyond the romantic domain. Independence is always a precursor of equality. She works hard and her energy can’t be wasted. She will treat everyone on an equal footing. A high-value woman walks away when she feels like her independence is stifled.

4. She’s got a high self-esteem 

Self-regard and self-worth are the cornerstones of individuality. We can’t talk about the signs of a high-value woman without addressing these two aspects. She derives meaning and fulfillment from within because of her deep-seated belief in herself. She has self-respect and she knows she is enough, no matter what goes on around her. She is her own person and she knows her strengths and weakness enough to handle them the right way. This quality enables her to retain composure during the rough patches of a relationship. Self-esteem carries her through the lows and leads her to the highs. Naturally, grace and dignity follow.

5. What’s one of the best qualities of a high-value woman? She’s emotionally stable

One of the best habits of a high-quality woman is that she is emotionally stable. She won’t let her feelings control her. She will make sure she is the one in charge of her feelings and won’t do anything that will damage her relationships in moments of anger, frustration, and pain. She neither entertains drama nor creates it.

She processes her feelings healthily – without denial or excessive dwelling. This healthy habit makes her emotionally available for her loved ones too. Her stability creates a safe space for her partner as well. Emotional maturity is a prized quality in a partner; nobody wants to be in a relationship prone to wild emotional swings. She prefers a life where her emotions are prioritized.

Here are some more signs of an emotionally stable woman:

• She will make peace with her past and live in the present
• She will form deep bonds with herself
• She will control her negative feelings
• She will say no to temptations

6. She takes accountability  

Nothing is sexier than maturity. And a woman who can own up to her mistakes is a high-value woman. When you think about it, the healthiest bonds in our lives are the ones where conflict resolution is easy. She takes responsibility whenever she is in the wrong. Each disagreement does not escalate into a fight and each fight does not birth a do-or-die situation. This is made possible through accountability – a high-value woman doesn’t engage in blame-shifting either. She does the right thing by apologizing for her mistakes.

7. A high-value woman is empathetic

Sensitivity toward others is one of the best qualities of a high-value woman. She is cognizant of the problems of other people and lends help in the simplest of ways possible – listening patiently, withholding judgment, or words of affirmation. She is self-aware and empathy makes her open to perspectives radically different from her own.

Apologies for the cliché but a high-value woman can walk a mile in someone else’s shoes as she knows the repercussions of lack of empathy in relationships. Her strong sense of empathy is what sets her apart from the rest of the crowd. She accepts people and their misery with a warm heart.

8. She’s comfortable with her sexuality 

The real value of a woman is usually based on how comfortable she is in her own skin and sexuality. A high-value woman carries herself effortlessly. She is open-minded. Many women take time to get comfortable with their sexuality; the prescriptive gender norms have flung sex-ed far away from ‘good’ women.

Rising above and beyond these antiquated notions, a high-value woman explores her sexuality and places importance on pleasure. She recognizes the need for sexual compatibility in a relationship and is willing to work on it. Moreover, she is open to having conversations surrounding masturbation, kinks, positions, roleplay, etc. with her partner. 

9. She’s going places   

So, what are the subtlest signs of a high-value woman? Vision and ambition. This strong woman is in charge of the direction of her life; she has a clear vision of where she wants to be. Now, this could be anything – becoming a stay-at-home mom or a high-flying CEO.

No matter the dream, she is a compassionate person headed right toward it. She often indulges in self-care. She is driven, perseverant, and hardworking and knows what’s right for her. A woman of value will reach heights regardless of people trying to pull her down.

10. She doesn’t settle  

The ability to compromise is valuable indeed, but only to a certain extent. Becoming a high-value woman entails never settling for less than what you deserve. This is applicable in different settings and contexts – never settle for a mediocre job when you’re capable of getting a better one, never settle for a disrespectful partner (she’ll spot the red flags in a man or woman right away), never settle and give up on your dreams because they’re taking longer to manifest. You understand these high-value woman’s healthy boundaries, right? Respect them if you’re her family or friend or if you’re dating her.

A feminine woman’s energy is so strong that she will never be with someone who makes her feel small about herself. Furthermore, a high-value person will never make her settle for less either. That’s one of the signs a guy is in awe of you. He will make sure he keeps rising to your expectations.

11. She’s honest

Lying is completely off the table under all circumstances. And there are many levels to this:

• A high-value woman does not lie literally as well as figuratively
• She is honest in her dealings with people and she is honest in presenting herself as she is
• There is no scope of her adopting a faux personality to impress someone

Authenticity reigns supreme. She has a deep sense of integrity. She will never play mind games in a relationship with you. A high-value woman walks away when she smells lies, deceit, and bullshit. And trust us, she can smell them all from miles away.

12. A high-value female is persistent 

Things don’t work out in the first go and a high-value woman knows that very well. She never gives up and is consistent in her efforts toward a particular goal. Persistence pays off and her toil bears fruit eventually. This is an important trait because it comprises the right balance of patience, passion, and dedication. When placed in the context of a relationship, these qualities make her a worthy partner. A high-value woman learns from her mistakes and is always willing to work on the relationship and build a future with her other half.

13. She’s witty

This is one of those qualities of a high-value woman that are a bonus. A high-value woman understands the importance of fun and sarcasm. You can imbibe them, if you want, for an added zing to your personality. Humor has always been a sign of intelligence. A sharp tongue and a sharper wit are fabulous to engage with.

Many high-value women are smart talkers who possess an awesome yet sensitive sense of humor. A remark here, a joke there, and they’ve got you charmed (and rolling on the floor). When someone is having a difficult time, she will make sure she makes them feel good by cracking a joke or two.

14. A high-quality woman believes in boundaries

Everyone should not have access to all parts of your life. And a high-value woman knows this. She likes a balanced life and hence, she sets healthy boundaries in all her relationships and decides what is acceptable and what is not. She has learned the art of saying ‘no’ to people when they are overstepping. She takes care of her mental healthy by establishing boundaries.

The importance of being assertive is not lost on her. Her personal power is that she likes to spend time alone. This doesn’t mean she hates her social life. It’s just that her core values are such that she likes to have some valuable time on her own where she can gather her thoughts and maintain her individuality.

15. She’s skilled 

Again, this skill can be literally anything. Be it sewing to accounting, a high-value woman possesses an area of expertise. She’s got her forte mastered and her talent shines bright like the sun. This activity brings her joy and fulfillment too. When aptitude and inclination join hands, you’re presented with a gift. As you work on becoming a high-value woman, be sure to identify your gift.  Furthermore, she loves to learn new things with curiosity as her armor.

Tips To Become A High-Value Woman

Who doesn’t want to become their best possible self? We know you do! And we are so excited to be by your side at this moment. It is not very difficult to cultivate the qualities listed above but most women don’t know where to begin. And of course, there are a few roadblocks along the way (which we can entirely avoid with a little caution). You don’t have to go through all the articles in the internet to become a woman to be reckoned with. The below-listed feminine energy and characteristics are enough for you to become a high-quality woman:

1. Be authentic

A high-value man will love you even more when you are your authentic self.

Own up to your journey for it has led you to this point in your life. A certain set of circumstances determined your progress and you ought to wear your truth with pride. Whether you’re a feminine woman or someone who doesn’t care about gender roles/presentation, be exactly who you are.

2. Learn to say ‘no’

Need we emphasize the importance of all types of boundaries again? Many women struggle with assertiveness in public spaces. This is your reminder to say no, put your foot down, and not tolerate any nonsense whatsoever. Be firm and clear in your opinions and remember the high-value woman boundaries. (But this is not to be confused with unnecessary aggression or hostility)

3. If you’re a high-value woman, you gotta love yourself

This is one of the most important things to remember when you are trying to become a high-value lady. You are your first love, treat yourself well. Don’t let opinions and remarks get you down in the dumps. As long as you are happy with yourself, it’s all well and good. Stay away from negative energy. Your good health is very important in the hustle and bustle of life. Spend some me-time regularly to keep in touch with yourself.

4. Empower others

The true mark of a high-value woman is her tendency to empower so many others. Be helpful and supportive of those around you. Stand up for your close friends and become a role model for women. Moving forward, say no to being petty. Strive to becoming secure in your female friendships. A high-value man likes an empowered woman who has high standards. That’s the right thing to do in life.

And in the middle of all this hoopla, don’t forget to have fun. All will have been for nothing if you won’t come back home with a smile on your face. Seek joy and laughter through diverse activities; they will enable you to be happily single too. All work and no play make Jill a dull girl – don’t be like Jill. Develop your own hobbies and make the most out of life.

6. Don’t hold back from seeking help

The factors could be external (an unsupportive partner) or internal (a mental block or anxiety). Seek support from close friends or a mental health professional when required. The mark of true strength is to be able to ask for help, do remember that. As determined as you are, you don’t have to do everything on your own. Vulnerability will add to your value, health, and intimacy in all relationships.
