What do women want?

Post Reply New Topic

now, I am not being sarcastic nor a smart arse, but trying to make someone else happy seems like a never ending task. I mean, like any thing addictive, tolerence grows to what made someone happy last week, last month, last year and it just becomes more and more difficult to keep up with the demand of what makes someone happy.

It does seem like a good thing on the face of it, but it really just sets up the partner to demand more and more leading to the question 'what do women want?'

perhaps if another criteria for having a good relationship were used, instead, it would be a simpler and ultimately more 'happy' life?

Don't worry about it. Nature produces plenty of men like me who work tirelessly to awaken them from that dream and replace it with reality.

From what I have seen of women, all they want is money. That's it.

Of course, none of them have a "disorder" such as Aspergers, no, they show signs of far worse things such as Narcissism and Histrionic disorders. But that can be applied to a great deal of men as well...

Talk about chauvinism, misogyny and innacuracy.

There is no one answer, each woman wants something different. I know some that never want kids and want to have a career and a husband who respects that, I know others who want to be housewives, I know others who just want a funny guy they can get along with, and it goes on and on. It varies quite a bit, and has alot to do with interpersonal dynamics. Generalizing women is one of the great faults of men. Every woman is different, every one wants something different out of a relationship.

Oh yeah...respect is usually high up on any womans list though.

or you can try and find the ones with more testosterone and more logic minds. try to hunt around engineering schools/companies. good luck .

Says the man whose poster name is "Avarice". Oh the irony.

They want everything

Looks like someone here suffers from an inferiority complex.

You did know that women are people right and that your statement is BS right?

BTW, when I look at a guy, I don't think about his money and yes I have aspergers.

Much of this thread is turning into a textbook example of 'confirmation bias'.

I hate to burst bubbles here but this isn't the first time a thread about what women want gets attacked with statements about how selfish women are.

It doesn't surprise me that this is more of a bait thread than a thread about what women truly want....

"Women are selfish" is just shorthand for "they're not doing what I want."

Humans are self centred beings. At the heart of why anyone would want to do anything there is a stimulus->response relationship. This is demonstrable on fMRI scans and is just is true when you have a couple deeply in love. They are serving each other’s interests. I wouldn't say that makes it unromantic or wrong, but that is entirely subjective anyway

But yes, typically resentment results in them blaming the other person, which is the easiest thing to do. If they can't get what they want it is the other person fault, because somebody has got to be at fault. Then again it is not really surprising that people have a sense of entitlement.

It's not just relationships that I do such in... to me, making other people happy in general will make me happy (hence my current title, "vicarious")... it means that there's someone out there that appreciates my existence, and that kind of appreciation is one of the few things that makes my life worth living...

I have no idea what they want. I wish they would simply want a real nice guy but we all know that's not it.

No two people are alike. I can't give you a single clue about "what women want". I'm a woman and I would love to know what women want, in general, so I could know why other women consider me so strange. I know what I want in a guy, but I also don't walk around with a list in my pocket and compare every guy I see to that list. Of course, maybe that's because I talk to four guys in total. Three are married and one is like my brother. But anyway, I will tell you what I want. I would not suggest generalizing this to women as a whole, however.

I want a man who loves Jesus without being a Bible-thumping, right-wing conservative freak.
I want a man who will go walking and hiking and exploring with me and my dog.
I want a man who will tolerate my cats and love my brain-damaged dog.
I want a man who does what he loves. I don't care about how much money he makes or how "successful" the world views him.
I want a man who understands that I need time to myself, but that I also need time with him.
I want a man who understands that I will freak out if plans change, even if those plans change for the better.
I want a man who will never purposely tickle me.
I want a man who loves baseball and who can teach me about football and hockey.
I want a man who understands that I am very uncomfortable in crowds. I want a man who will not leave me alone in a crowd.
I want a man who tells me the truth if I ask "Does this make my butt look big?", because I'm not going to know, and I need someone to tell me.
I want a man who wants to be a father one day, because I want to be a mother.
I want a man who will treat me as an equal, but who will also protect and cherish me.
I want a man who will tell me if the dinner I cook tastes horrible.
I want a man who will take me fishing with him, and who cuts the line if the fish starts bleeding.
I want a man who will do all the driving on the interstate.
I want a man who cares about other people and treats everyone with respect.
I want a man who values knowledge.
I want a man who opens doors for old ladies and who loves his mother.
I want a man who laughs at things that most people don't laugh at and who isn't afraid to cry every once in a while.
I want a man who will share the covers.
I want a man who will swing and spin on the merry-go-round with me, even when other people are looking.
I want a man who will always be honest with me, and who will let me be honest with him.

There. I don't care about looks, money or prestige. I don't care about fancy clothes or fine dining or what kind of car he drives. I don't care about the color of his skin, how "built" he is or where he grew up. That stuff doesn't matter. Maybe you guys just want to put women down on this thread, I don't know. I can't read your intentions. It's a blessing sometimes. So you'll get the truth from me. And there it is.

this from a user name of Avarice*?
