What do women want?

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.
