 Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2008 10:45 pm Post subject: what do women want from men? |
 |
|
i know the big thing women want from men is attention, but I'm looking for some things that are a little more specific.
everything men do to try and gain womens interest seems so phony and not me, I'm sure many other guys will agree.
I also cant stand the fact that us nice guys always seem to finish last. it seems like women prefer arrogant jerks over us, what gives?!
I'd like to hear from the ladies, what characteristics do you all look for in a man?

Did you mean to post this in the Adolescent forum? I can move it to Love and Dating if you like.

The reason that I'm staying out of the Dating Game, is to avoid arrogant jerks.

In many cases, we want nothing from men. Seriously.

I like for someone to be honest and caring towards me. And I like advice when I ask for it.

Nice guys do finish last. It's the "cool" people who win.
So your best bet is to be a total a-hole, and maybe someday you'll get lucky.

Well I have to say...that I hate arrogant jerks. I would rather spend my time talking to the "nice guys".
If I were to have a "man"...I would want them to be honest, accepting, trustworthy and kind.

| I totally agree with Brittany2907. The Mr right I am waiting for must be nice, kind, optimistic and - that's very important - he must love me. I hope I have helped a little bit... |

| Women want someone to feel safe with; someone who will read their mind, make them laugh and have interesting conversations with them. |

Lots of times, women (and I'm talking about women over eighteen) just want to talk. And that's all. What's wrong with that? You meet the most interesting women online. Why mess it up with a "let's meet and get to know each other."
If that's what you're looking for, try a dating site. This isn't one. It's an Aspi support site. I admit that sometimes we (the though police) let something slip through and two nice people do get together, some of them even live happily ever after.....but we try to discourage that. Happiness is not what we want here. Turmoil, that's what we like. Angst, Horror, complaints....(I'm kidding, of course).
You figure out what women want, sport, and you'll make a million bucks selling it to men. If you're a woman, figure out what men want, and you too will be a millionaire.
Won't ever happen. People are too diverse.

| you're all saying what you want from a man to be your man. but first you have to get to know him better right? and I bet you see enough "nice" guys per day. What type of guy do you give a chance to get to know him better and what type of guy do you drop? |

Case1: "Women want someone to feel safe with" - Possible and understandable
Case2: "someone who will read their mind" - ummm ... good luck with that, thats what makes relations fail, expecting someone to know what your thinking and want.
Case3: "make them laugh" - wow I'm really screwed if this is true, and unfortunately it is.
Case4: "have interesting conversations with them." - again understandable, but sometimes hard for someone with different interest. |

I hope when and if I find my true love he will be my best friend as well as my lover.
I'm little embarrassed posting something like this. Just the concept of love makes me a little uncomfortable and insecure...
But why bother dream about that? Guys just seem intimidated by me. I guess because I'm quiet???? |
