What impresses women and men

Everyone wants someone who has good qualities (e.g., honest, kind).  But I have noticed there are some (non-physical) traits that women and men in general especially like (each person is different so not everything may apply to each individual)... and of course, this is not a comprehensive list...

There is a part of every woman's body that will make her tingle, melt, and crave to be with you if it is touched.  It is her heart.  (But you were probably thinking of another body part, weren't you?)
Things about men that impress women:
-  confident (but not arrogant)
-  powerful
-  financially secure
-  goal oriented/ambitious
-  has his own place without roommates
-  intelligent (book and street smart)
-  a problem solver
-  thoughtful/considerate
-  chivalrous
-  reliable and trustworthy
-  communicates well and expressive of feelings
-  able to take care of us
-  pays attention to her only (makes her feel that she is the only woman you are interested in)
-  remembers things we said, our birthday, our anniversary
-  pays attention to detail, especially noticing our new outfit/shoes/haircut (we do things to look pretty for you so it would be nice that you notice)
-  good to other people (both your and our family and friends, servers at the restaurants, etc)
-  good with babies and children (and even animals/pets)
-  spontaneous
-  gives us a card/note/small gift for no occasion
-  sends an email/text saying that you miss/think of us
-  handy around the home
-  comforting when we are upset

Every woman wants to be romanced.  Guys, if you ever have trouble deciding what to get a woman for a gift, here are some safe bets (but remember, these are generalities and not all women may like these): 
-  flowers
-  chocolates
-  spa treatment (mani/pedi, facial, massage)
-  (brand name) handbag
-  jewelry (diamonds are a girl's best friend)
-  a trip
(Men, let's admit it - buying her lingerie is really a gift for you, not for her.)

What girl wouldn't want a spontaneous trip to Paris on your private jet?

Things about women that impress men (per my male friends and various men's online dating profiles):
-  one guy friend said, "men only care about good companionship and sex, and if she likes sports, that's a bonus"
-  intelligent
-  funny/sense of humor
-  open-minded
-  knows when to be serious and when to have fun
-  can look good without having to dress up
-  shares a common interest in a hobby or activity
-  interested in sports, cars, fitness, fixing things, technology
-  understanding
-  not oversensitive
-  a good cook ("the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"... or his private area)
-  "good girl/bad girl" dichotomy
-  knows what she wants
-  happy with who she is
-  has her act together
-  drama-free
-  not catty
-  sane
-  someone he can be himself around
-  gets along with his friends and family
-  inspires him to be a better man just by being the awesome woman she is
* I do notice that men have fewer criteria for what they want in a partner than women.

Gift ideas for men: 
-  anything to do with sex (boudoir photos, a personal lapdance or belly dancing show, new lingerie/custome/sex toy)
-  something related to their favorite sport or sports team (jersey/gear, tickets, memorabilia, equipment)
-  the newest or coolest electronic device available (smartphone, tablet, computer, game console, music/entertainment-related equipment)
-  a cool gadget or tool
-  something related to a hobby, fitness, or activity/recreation he likes (common ones include photography, jogging, biking, camping, traveling)
-  something car-related (tickets to an Auto Show, racecar lessons)
-  massage (you can get a couples massage)
