Others have answered your question weell enough already.

It's actually a hell of a lot better than I expected it to be. However, I think that the bold points are better than the expansions on those points. Several times I found myself agreeing with the bolded points and then disappointed with the explanations of those points. For those who don't want to click over, here are the salient bits:

How does he treat his mother?

A man will be there to comfort his mother in her rare time of need, just like she did countless times for him. A boy will likely not be as reliable.

What are his friends like?

If his friends are childish, chances are he is, too.

He has life goals.

I’m not saying he needs to have his whole life plotted out, but he should have a good idea about his ideal future is and hopefully, you are a part of that future.

What is his father like?

There’s two extremes to this: A man can be an exact clone of his father or he can learn from his father’s flaws and try to better himself. See if any of his father’s traits (good or bad) are part of his makeup.

He is passionate.

He knows what his talents are and he excels at them. He has a passion for everything in life and he lives his life with a purpose.

He is understanding.

He’s always in control of himself and his actions. Instead of letting his raw emotions get the best of him, he rationalizes and tries putting himself in other people’s shoes.

He's confident.

A man without confidence is a man without trust in himself.

He has a soft side.

Men need to understand that it’s okay to have a soft side. It’s okay to show your true feelings and be vulnerable.

He can conduct himself well in a variety of social situations.

There’s a time and a place for everything, and sometimes, letting out a few f-bombs can be appropriate. Otherwise, he holds the door open for you, tells you you’re beautiful (and means it) and looks you in the eyes when he speaks to you.

He takes care of himself.

Many men are out of shape and look like they dressed themselves in the dark. I’m not saying if a man doesn’t have a six-pack, he’s un-dateable because that would be incredibly unfair and shallow.

Rather, I’m simply saying that a man should have self-respect for himself, should want to take care of his body and should at least try to make himself look presentable.

Those are not too bad as far as directions for women seeking men go. I've certainly seen far worse. The three main problems with this article are:

It's idealistic and it sets women up with unrealistic expectations of some fictional prince charming who doesn't exist, thus feeding into their quest for a man who is somewhere out there who will treat her perfectly. Articles like this actually cause women already in relationships to simply feel less happy with their partner.
Each point is really about how she can benefit from the relationship. There is no sense of give and take, which feeds into an entitled attitude, which in turn is very destructive to relationships.
Most of all, the article encourages women to judge men according to their measure of how men should behave. However, women armed with tabloid-type articles are a poor judge of masculinity. They will always clash with their men over this topic.
