Everyone is entitled to an opinon.. But I see why you dont appear in anyones favorite list..;)
I would suggest asking someone who knows....and women are NOT going to tell you what they really want...they want a man who already has it figured out.
think about it......When you hire a plumber...do you want to have to teach him how to open up the pipes? NOPE
When you choose someone for a partnership in business, do you want to have to teach them business savy? NOPE
well, it isnt much different. | |

Posted: 8/16/2006 11:49:11 AM | | Well I can't talk for all women. But I can talk for myself. I am looking for a man that knows how to be sweet give a flower just because he wanted too. Or suprise me with a date somewhere nice and quiet. One that cares and wants to make me and my kids happy. I dont want the expensive home just a nice small place to call home. Most women want everything expensive and unessary. NOT ME. | |

Posted: 8/16/2006 6:15:01 PM | pcguy76...a woman wants their best friend...honesty...love...compassion...knowing that no matter what you do dumb (with-in reason..lol)...you are accepted because he loves you...someone you can tell your deepest secrets to...and he makes you feel like the most important person in the world when he holds you thru the nite...because he knows you feel the same way about him...and loving each other is top priority to the both of you...Perfection?... NO...never...just someone who knows the both of you will never be perfect...but you are perfect for each other....someone who knows he needs you because he wants you...and wants you because he needs you..........

Posted: 8/16/2006 7:49:18 PM | | Like I said before. This post was for shy men to get some information about what women want. The women that responded I thank you I did this for shy men. I am not a shy person but I figured that maybe it would help a guy out. I saw posts on men not able to meet women or talk to them as well as women discussed that men are not understanding their needs or wants so I thought that this post would be educational for some.. :) | |

Posted: 8/17/2006 3:58:07 AM | You know what I find really sad about this thread? Not that the OP had good intentions, because he did. But I find it sad that so many men have trivialized things that women want. I won't apologize because I want to be romanced. After my last ABUSIVE relationship, I want someone to sweep me off my feet and show me that men still care and they are still human. It's the least that I deserve. I own my own home (which was purchased AFTER my relationship ended so we'll remove any man's assumptions that I got my house through a divorce settlement. NOT), take care of my kids and earn the things I have in my life. I don't need a man for any of that, but it sure would be nice if my partner DID NOT view me as the following:
Here's what a MAN wants:
A woman who will cook, clean and take care of the kids Round The Clock with no help or expectations from the man (even though he makes most of the mess!)
A woman who will let the man sit his lazy, self-righteous rear on the couch all day long and watch "the game" while she brings him pretzels and beer on demand.
A woman who doesn't care about the remote.
A woman who doesn't care if the man goes out and stays out, EVERY weekend with his buddies. 
A woman who guts the fish that he brings home after a "hard" day of fishing and drinking with his buddies. 
A woman who doesn't need to be told that she's pretty, beautiful or that the house looks nice or any other kind of acknowledgements that he may "HAVE" to give out.
A woman who will give the man sex anytime, anywhere, to his liking, no matter how tired, worn out, stressed, or in pain SHE might be in. (after all, HER feelings don't count) 
A woman who doesn't give a crap about her own life, goals, dreams or what have you, because she's too concerned with the man to think about herself.
Okay... Back to Reality Guys...... | |

Posted: 8/17/2006 2:09:06 PM | What people say they want and what they really want are two different things. I keep reading comments from women on here that they want honesty, someone to be there, etc YET, when they come across someone like that, they will ignore them.
Don't bother flaming me ladies, it's the truth.
The problem is that all of us have to get past the physical part first. People will say they want someone who's honest but if that person doesn't measure up to what someone considers attractive, it doesn't matter if they meet all the other requirements, they won't be given the time of day.
There are tons of us guys out there who fit your bill but for whatever reason you choose to ignore or blow off. A classic example is when contacting someone on one of these sites. Every person who has ever contacted me, even if only to say they liked my ad, has gotten a response. If I didn't think we'd be a good match, I'd tell them that.
However, of all the messages, winks, teases, whatever, I've sent to people, maybe 1% have ever gotten back to me in any form. Of the four I've sent on here, only one has gotten back to me and that was because she told me to write her with some information.
I know this sounds like a sour-grapes rant, and in some regards it is, but seeing the same responses from women over and over grinds on one after a while. Same thing with the repetitive questions. "Why are all guys unfaithful?" "Why won't guys commit?" "Are there any decent guys left?"
We're not all like that. It's just the ones you hooked up with that are like that. Expand your horizons a bit and you won't have to ask these questions. We're out there. You're just not looking in the right direction. | |

I'll agree with that. But then again, why is it that the people on here who think that way, DON'T show a picture of themselves? For me... yes, I look for physical attraction. It's my HUMAN NATURE to do so. It's also called Survival of the Species. When I joined, I posted a picture. I think that if someone interested in ME can see my picture, then I shouldn't HAVE to ask for his. That's only fair.
There are tons of us guys out there who fit your bill but for whatever reason you choose to ignore or blow off.
That's because for ONE - Their profile is so grammatically incorrect, a woman might wonder what kind of education he has, if he can't take the time to spell correctly or to put proper punctuation in. And another reason is 9 times out of 10, the written description of the person is NOT what their picture resembles. Perfect example: A man doesn't have a picture but in his profile he puts down that he's "a few extra pounds". And he won't tell you what his profession is, or he greatly exaggerates on what it REALLY is. Or that he has brown hair. (well, sorry, but if you have three strands of brown hair that you've combed over to hide the baldness... um... that's deception) So.... He contacts you. He tells you in his email that you have things in common with him. He tells the woman everything he thinks she wants to hear. Then.. he goes on to say... I don't think that looks are the most important thing, it's what's on the inside that counts. (Reality check.. jig is up... we know that's another way of saying that you don't think you are attractive so you'll say something sappy because you think the gal will fall for it. OKAY... 
EVERY SINGLE time I have been approached with this type of email, I finally get a picture and they are NOT what they said they are or they are seriously overweight, balding or missing more than a few teeth Or better yet (and I LOVE this one! NOT)... they look at least 20 years older than the "30-something" they said they were. Give me a break!
Sorry, but I don't like deception and I don't know any woman who does. If a man can't be honest in his profile about his stats and what he really looks like, then why should I believe that he is going to be honest about anything else? Deception is a hard thing to get past. We don't like seeing that someone tells us one thing, but then shows another.
We're not all like that. It's just the ones you hooked up with that are like that. Expand your horizons a bit and you won't have to ask these questions. We're out there. You're just not looking in the right direction.
I have expanded my horizions and I STILL end up asking those kinds of questions. My feelings are not something that another human being has a right to play with. For Example: I look for a certain age bracket. I'm 35. What the heck would I want to do with someone who is 58 years old? My mother is only five years older than that. I have been emailed by men who are this age and I'm like, "what are they thinking?" Oh, and I love the line that I get when they say... " I may be 58, but I'm really 40 inside." I don't buy that. In 12 years you'll be 70 and I'll be 47. In my book, that is just NOT going to cut it for me. If I meet someone, I don't want to be changing their diapers or feeding them in 20 years. I want to grow old WITH someone, not be a stepmother to his children, which could be the same age as me. | |

communicate with him anyway. you might learn something. I have been messaged by women in their 50's and I dont care. It doesnt mean I need to feel an attraction to them to say hello back. | |

Posted: 8/17/2006 6:02:08 PM | There are many reasons why some of us don't have a picture up. I can't remember where the thread is exactly but it is about why some people don't have pictures. In one case the woman said that she has a high profile job and doesn't want the possibility of one of her clients seeing her.
In my case, as I stated in my profile, I'm trying something different. People claim that it isn't looks but ones personality that attracts them. So I'm doing a social experiment to see if people will put their money where their mouth is (so to speak). At least you have the honesty to admit you need a picture but really, how hard is it to ask for one especially when someone tells you they'll give you two for the price of one.
To get back on topic (sorry mods), for the most part people want the same thing. They want someone they can be comfortable with, someone they can rely on, someone they can trust. It's not that difficult a concept to understand.
P.S. I hope you weren't referring to me when you mentioned grammar. I know that I'm not always perfect but compared to the posts of most other guys, I'm definitely in the top 1% of correct spelling and usage. Do a search for my postings and you'll see that across the board they're uniformally correct. Now what does that say about me? | |

No, I wasn't referring to your grammar. But you have to admit that some people don't realize that a profile is the very first impression that other people get. It speaks mounds to me when I read "wazzup chick? wanna chat?" | |

Posted: 8/17/2006 8:06:40 PM | | therealone, your experiment can go both ways. if you dont show your pic you could be really hot and not want attention. or on the other end of the scale. for the person that actually responds to your profile will really be pleased when he finds out your hot too, but maybe dissappointed when your not attractive to him. showing a pic will only get results from people who are physically attracted, and doesnt leave anyone disappointed. physical attraction is necessary. i read every profile pics or not. if i find someone im interested in i either already no what they look like or i will ask for a pic. at first i didnt post pics but was willing to send to anyone who ask, now i have posted some and going to post more. | |

Posted: 8/17/2006 11:43:30 PM | That may be true....but you're not far off.
I look for integrity, someone stronger than me ( on all levels ) someone you can depend on in hard times and good times.......too many men only want to be there for the good time, when times get hard.....they get going. A genuine heart...caring ..compassion. Someone you can relate to on an intellectual level ( you need to be able to communicate and connect on the same level, a good conversation is required....good sex only lasts so long). A best friend, a person that will stand next to you and defend you even if they don't agree with you. ( honestly! women will do that for each other...it's a comraderie!) A "partner in crime" so to speak, someone that you can have great fun with.....someone you can have fun with that you don't tell anyone else about! The regular "laugh out loud" kind of fun, the giggles in bed kind of fun, and sometime the low key sarcastic kinda fun, that you know is just in fun. (It's been my experience that men don't necessarily like to see you have too much fun!) Some of us can't help it....it's our nature!
Honesty and respect are mandatory, treat me like I'm less than you, you'll see me keep getting smaller until you can't see me any more. (it's the distance!) the mythical "knight in shing armour" I think represents the moral code, the reliablity, the integrity, the bravery and the fortitude that all women seek....................I'm still guessing mythical. | |

Posted: 8/22/2006 12:24:34 PM | All these answers and I thought women only wanted a tall strong stable man who will rub their feet.
I'd say don't worry about it, go with your strengths and eventually you'll find a woman who accepts that. That probably isn't helpful, but what's your other choice? Strive to be something your not, because it meets someone else's expectations.
Good Luck  | |

Posted: 8/22/2006 7:29:56 PM | What to know what I really want? Read my profile.
As I've grown to know myself, and I mean really know myself, I have changed my profile to fit the current "me". Now that I'm ready to start dating again, I feel that what's in my profile is a reflection of the kind of person that I am and what I'm able to offer someone. | |

| What do women honestly want in a man?
Posted: 8/28/2006 8:22:13 PM | | someone who accepts everything about me... i.e. my past, my mistakes, my present, my future, my goals, my thoughts, my opinions and understands that everything I have done, I am, or I will be makes up the grand total of me! That no matter how freaky some things in my mind may seem, before you knew them, you liked me and should like me after knowing them... I want someone who isn't afraid of anything... Not like irrational fears, but has NO fear of other people in particular... Someone who knows that trust starts with oneself and fear does as well, and when you fear others you fear yourself... I just want someone who understands all of me, and likes it :) | |
