the right person for u is the one who doesnt need material goods and will stay with u in a cardboard box in a downpour, that goes for both sexes.
count your losses and move on, too much happiness in life to conquer, dont waste time dwelling on the sad things | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 3/21/2007 11:27:44 AM | Maybe you should stop worring about what the woman/women wants. After all once you know how to treat yourself like gold then you'll attract others like you. Don't be so easily pushed over by those types of girls. I think alot of other people gave you some good advice, maybe you should take it. | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 3/21/2007 12:24:43 PM | Men and women are socialized differently. Women are taught to reveal their feelings and men are brought up to keep it inside. Men and women are not from different planets. That was just a stupid book for money making. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT WOMEN WANT? Or are you just being whiny and looking for something to complain about? If a woman whines and complains men say she's "on the rag". Women want men to realize that we are not mind readers. If you don't tell us what you want and how you feel, we don't know. Men wait until they are ready to rage before they tell us what they want or how they feel.
Cutie, you know the deal. Just use the brains that the Goddess gave you and you will understand what we women want. | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 3/21/2007 12:45:12 PM | | i want a man who wants to know me. if you give them everything they want, you will spoil them and they will never be able to get enough. try being yourself and watch the woman flock in. | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 12/28/2007 4:26:13 PM | | Inkfx has one of the few posts that means anything, and gives credable advice, Seriously the Original poster Gives the vide of being a bit of a pushover and lonely which in turn makes you more unatractive to women, You should never get into a relationship because your lonely, You should never measure your worth by the people you hang out with out date. Tenx No offense but you seem a little bitter, and while women tend to be attracted to ***holes they don't want someone thats angry. The fact is that most women don't know what aattracts them to a specific person it just happens. It's Really no different for men. To many people have problems telling the difference between love and attraction. | |

| funny stuff Posted: 12/29/2007 4:04:27 PM | | I want a man who can become my best friend, companion, and eventually lover. Someone who has the similar interests that i do but has his own as well. someone that understands that even though being intimate is a good part of a relationship..that it is not all about sex and looks but what is on the inside that counts. I am the type who is a nurturer. so if a man decides to spend money or treat me right in any way..then i am very appreciative and will want to return the favor. I look for personality in a guy and I want his heart more than anything else. | |

| funny stuff Posted: 1/3/2008 10:09:15 AM | | First of all, Go out and do things you like to do, then you find someone with similar interests. Second, Do not try to BUY anyone, Money is not the way into someone's heart. Third, BE yourself, if someone does't like you for who YOU are then their loss. Fourth, take your time, everything in life is worth the wait. | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 1/4/2008 3:35:27 PM | I have been myself on countless occasions and what has it brought me - single at age 35 - never married, never engaged, and the only time I had a serious relationship was when I went AGAINST my instincts of being a 'nice guy' and instead became selfish. Any other time I open the door for a woman, pull out her chair, etc (basic chivalry) has backfired. The last girl and I that I dated broke up because she could not 'respect' the fact that i left the firm I was with to go out on my own. She 'couldn't see' the upside to leaving a firm, health insurance, and a steady paycheck to venture out on one's own. On our 2nd date she asked how I felt I could support a wife and kids while trying to make my business successful. I replied "I didn't know I was going to have a wife and kids so soon". She made good money, owned her own co-op, yet worried how I was going to provide for her when things got serious.
I think, perhaps, I should just date, be the typical 'jerk', and have women fawn over me for a change...oh well, I suppose all the niceties my grandmother taught me growing up are about to go out the window. | |

| funny stuff Posted: 1/5/2008 11:41:30 AM | | The finest achievement of the new woman has been personal liberty. This is the foundation of civilization; and as long as any one class is watched suspiciously, even fondly guarded, and protected, so long will that class not only be weak, and treacherous, individually, but parasitic, and a collective danger to the community. Who has not heard wives commended for wheedling their husbands out of money, or joked because they are hopelessly extravagant? As long as caprice and scheming are considered feminine virtues, as long as man is the only wage-earner, doling out sums of money, or scattering lavishly, so long will women be degraded, even if they are perfectly contented, and men are willing to labor to keep them in idleness! | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 1/7/2008 7:10:14 PM | Why do you think all women want the same thing?????? for one last I remember all you have to really do I listen to a person they tell you what they want in so many words. Maybe if you stop flashing them $$$ and becoming someone's bit*c you will find a girl who likes you for you and not what you do for them........ | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 1/21/2008 12:39:37 PM | | I have to laugh because I can totally relate and understand your post. Most women... myself included... like jerks... men who don't treat us right... who lie, cheat, and are emotionally unavailable... and so much more. But truthfully as you get older you start to realize... that the jerk who gives you butterflies in your stomach is NOT the one who is going to bring you chicken soup when your sick, is not the one who is going to make you smile when your down or be there for you when you need him. I'm starting the new year off on the right track... forgetting about all the jerks and maybe looking for a guy who may not give me butterflies but is a good person and will be there for me through the good times and the bad. Good luck to you... I think we all need it! Oh and by the way... don't give up on what grandma taught you... one lucky lady will appreciate it one day! | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 1/24/2008 12:58:08 PM | | If you love yourself, and are secure in that. You will reach out people that respect that. You don't have to accept less, and be miserable. I can do bad by myself | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 1/27/2008 3:54:54 PM | That is so not true: I love a man being a man..Opening doors, remembering birthdays, and just being able to say Thanks I appreciate that...It really is that simple, and just for the record real women do love a man who is ideally himself, and with that being said someone once said I'd rather have someone hate me for who I am verses who I am not, true and to the point...
Jerks in the long run never really get the girl at least no the ones that truly value who themselves and there relationships...
Just be you and someone will find themselves being as blessed as you will when in fact you find the right girl...Wish you all the best.. | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 2/2/2008 10:23:13 AM | Hey....
Dont start being a jerk...there are still some women out there who want a gentelman and a sweet guy but dont know where to look for one. I know I have been searching all my life. Your to much of a nice, sweet guy to turn the tables...dont do that, be yourself and if it takes longer to find someone then so be it...dont settle or change who you are for anybody...I think your a cool guy and Im glad we started talking. You seem down to earth and women like that also.  | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 2/15/2008 7:58:12 PM | what i want from a guy is someone who spends more than a couple hours a week with me. sometimes i don't even get that. if a guy really wants to impress a woman, then he should make time for her.
as for you, you sound like a great guy, sounds like it's the woman who have the problem. | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 2/22/2008 2:51:30 AM | A deserving woman will want, and appreciate, the niceties chivalry and respect you show her! A deserving woman will show her appreciation by being reciprocal. There are also enough jerks out there who think that they don't need to put any effort into making a woman feel special; that they are doing women a favor just by spending time with them. Hold on to your old-fashioned values taught to you from someone who probably came from an era of "Ladies and Gentlemen".
BTW, I admire you for taking the career risk. That woman was not really looking at the big picture. The big picture is that a happy man is usually a successful man. You took the risk while you don't yet have a family to support. Why would you make personal career decisions based on how they will effect a family you don't yet have? | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 3/7/2008 8:36:53 AM | As a 53 year old man in my life time I've noticed all women are not equal on their needs and wants. One thing I know that women want to be is loved, listened to when they speak, to hold them when they need to be held and for her man to make her secure. Sure we can buy worthless gifts that they lose interest in after a short period of time, but they will never lose the feeling of your love when they need it the most. A flower is a nice gift to offer her when she has a bad day, start a hot bath for her before she gets home from work, cook a nice dinner for her. The simple things seem to be the hardest to give to a women when you don't know how. There are many women out there that will want you for who you are. Just get to know you!, for who you are. And never forget it!!
Peace and happiness will come to you if you're clear on what you want! | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 3/13/2008 9:24:32 AM | I meet a lot of guys who say this and they're always dating some girl who uses them. I figure, a man's choice in women isn't my problem. I remember dating a guy who always complained about this and thinking, yeah, im going to treat him right. So I called him one night like, "i'm five blocks away and I want to come over" I'll spare you the rest of the details haha.
He said he was too busy playing video games.
He didn't want a girl who was attentive, loving, any of that. He just wanted someone who would hapilly spend his money and ignore him so he could work and sit in front of the T.V. 
There's a moral in there somewhere but I don't know what it is...oh yeah, admit it girls..."Good Guys" are nice but jerks skydive! Sometimes, we need a little rebellion to remind us you exist....something to make up about....a personality....interests that are not me....  | |

| Women what do they want from a guy Posted: 3/14/2008 7:50:27 AM | OP: I'll tell you what you're doing wrong..
This isn't necessarily what Women want:
i treat them like gold buy them what ever they want please them but i still wnd up losing them you tell me that
Treating someone like gold doesn't mean flowering them with gifts. Want to give a gift that will be remembered and well received?
For starters: 1) Be strong about your sense of self, be able to compromise and listen. 2) Admit when you're wrong & don't gloat when you're right. 3) A little respect goes a long way. 4) Look for a Woman that doesn't "Need" anyone, but is looking for someone to compliment them. 5) Be yourself, don't stop doing everything just because you met someone. Don't expect her to drop her life for you either. 6) Share your thoughts frequently and be open, easy to talk to. Repeat back what was said when you have a question so it shows that you really ARE listening and not nodding your head. 7) Spend time learning about how to keep a woman happy in bed, each is different so don't think just because you learned about one you learned them all.
None of anything there involves spending money now, does it?

| ok Posted: 3/15/2008 7:24:40 AM | | and my problem is, is that the men i meet are way too opened, lol. they tell me everything, and i mean everything, all their physical ailments, the debt that they are in, the problems with ex, their kids and expenses, and this is the first date. guys please, some of us women want a little mystery, or challenge. by giving too much, esp first date, you destroy the fantasy. i think you guys should just chill and be yourselves and go with go with the flow, it we click we click, if not you call it a night! | |

| ok Posted: 3/28/2008 12:08:21 PM | I personally think, from both the male and female perspective, that people tend to chase the "dream" too much, and need to step back and evaluate what they NEED as an individual to be happy in a relationship.
Only THEN start talking to people and beginning the dating process. I know so many people who will go out on a date with anybody who will talk to them, but they are never happy.
I have found, that for myself, if I take a bit of time and really weed though the people I talk to and go on dates with people who are the most compatible with what I need and am looking for, that things go very smoothly and most of them are quite nice even if I have found the "one" yet...
Just my two cents... | |
