What do men want?
 

Yeah, okay, get the snorts and snickers out of the way ... and then, not ignoring sex, but taking a broader view that includes it, ...

Why do men say they want a woman who is warm and sympathetic, caring, etc., and then bail the moment she shows these qualities? Why do men decry the concept of the icy narcissistic queen, and then spend their lives chasing her? Do men really need to endlessly hunt but never make that perfect shot?

What do the cellar men want? Do they want a woman who is hard to win over, who remains remote, but who occasionally bestows favors? Do they want a best friend who shares passion and amazing pleasure with only them? Do they want something else again? What do men want?

For me ... I'm interested only in terms of making sense of past failures. I've moved beyond the phase of trying to reinvent myself. I'm just honestly wondering.

Not all men are like that. I know a man who wants a warm and sympathetic, caring, etc woman and stays away from those icy narcissistic queens. I'm sorry that all men that you've met are the bad ones. I may occasionally say men are bastards, but I do believe there are good bastards out there. :D Hehehe....I'm kidding around. There are good men out there. I'm sorry that you haven't met one.

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket.

Really, I like a woman smart enough to be funny, but not so smart that you can never tell the same joke twice. Calm but not boring. Pleasant, but not submissive. Confident, but not bossy. Attractive, but not obsessed with her image. I want her to love me as I am. To want to help me improve, but not judge me and try to change who I am. Honest about her feelings, but not whiny or bitchy. Amanda.

Oh, and blow jobs. lots of blow jobs. ; )

Ok, I'm going to say embarrassing things here. Sex is not that important. Affection, cuddling, or simply holding hands can mean so much more. I want someone to be my best friend I can trust with anything. I want someone to accept that "I'm broken" and can't be fixed. I need someone who enjoys a good laugh and loves inside jokes. Looks don't mean that much to me since I'm disfigured and anyone who would love me would be beautiful in my eyes.

For this special woman, I'd do quirky things like surprise gifts. I'd try to pamper her with warm baths, massages, and cooking for her. I'd try to listen and understand her problems. If she has children or grandchildren, I would treat them as my own.

I guess it all comes down to this. I want someone I can be one with

Sarge, that's beautiful.

for now:

• Someone with a sunny disposition but not a Pollyanna.
• A quick wit and good sense of humor, earthy but not slapstick.
• Very smart
• Emotionally intelligent and sound
• Self assured and competent
• GGG

I'm not hip with the kids' lingo these days; what is GGG?

Urban dictionary is your friend, esp. Dan Savage.

GGG stands for Good in bed, Giving equal attention to your partner's pleasure, and Game for "it", whatever "it" may be, within reason.

Yeah, so to elaborate on what I want... in broader terms (though I am pretty sure dames don't like being called broads)

I like someone I can play with on equal ground. (I didn't say footing, for obvious reasons)
By play I mean verbally, physically, intellectually. And by play with I don't mean toy with. More in the sense of being equals or peers, able to give and take.

After living under siege for so long I am really looking for peace.

I don't often laugh out loud, but this did it for me.

Really, I like a woman smart enough to be funny, but not so smart that you can never tell the same joke twice. Calm but not boring. Pleasant, but not submissive. Confident, but not bossy. Attractive, but not obsessed with her image. I want her to love me as I am. To want to help me improve, but not judge me and try to change who I am. Honest about her feelings, but not whiny or bitchy.

(That's Jackie too. I feel so lucky that she is with me.)

Stated perfectly sir! :thumbsup:
