What He Looked for in a Woman
First, let’s ask ourselves, what did Frank Sinatra look for in a woman? Well, he once answered that very question with “A sense of humor.” He then added: “I’m supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women, but the truth is, I’ve flunked more often than not. I’m very fond of women; I admire them. But like all men, I don’t understand them.”

Sinatra once said that the first thing he noticed about a woman was her hands. “How they’re kept,” to be exact. “Grooming is important.” He also said that he doesn’t like “excessive makeup.” According to his former valet George Jacobs, the singer “craved class.” He also hated women who smoked excessively.
