A question for the men here: What do you think women are looking for?

[raccoon]

Please do tell. I'm curious. :-)

[SacredCow]

1. I'm invoking my 5th amendment rights here....

:hide:

[flvegan]

2. Hmmm...

:popcorn:

[Swede]

3. Companionship.

All of us are. The heart is a lonely hunter.

[Bucky]

20. See, if you're hunting them, you might be doing something wrong. Illegal, in fact

[Bucky]

21. oops

[IronLionZion]

4. You can't generalize about a group like that.

individuals want radically different things and have various reasons for it.

[EstimatedProphet]

5. All sorts of different things - depends on the woman

They are individuals after all.

[WinkyDink]

6. I'm answering anyway ;) ~~~Autonomy. Love. Purpose.

And a few "You look good in those jeans" don't hurt, either!

[underpants]

7. Their keys

:hide:

[Orsino]

8. My socks and car keys. I can't find either.

Seriously, though, I think women look for partners who can provide, or contribute to, a comfortable home. This may mean material wealth, an amicable disposition, faithfulness, obedience, or who-knows-what else. Biology is driving this to ensure the best survival rate for offspring, but human imagination is bigger than that.

[CreekDog]

9. Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure I was supposed to know it

And because I don't, I won't be able to find out :shrug:

[IronLionZion]

10. An ATM, gardener, handyman, bodyguard, driver, and gigolo.

Bwahaha! :rofl: I really hope I don't have to use this: :sarcasm:

[leftofthedial]

11. $$$$$

"sensitivity"

[SteppingRazor]

15. And don't forget a "good $en$e of humor."

:P


Kidding aside, it's silly to say women are golddiggers. I got a successful, bright, funny, gorgeous woman to marry me, and my profession is not exactly known for its windfall salaries.

[leftofthedial]

19. becoming single in middle age,

I found about 3 out of 4 women were obsessed with money and possessions,

but my sense of humor seemed to be the key to finding love

[Bucky]

23. It's good to have a sense of humor. For instance they can laugh at how poor you are

[leftofthedial]

40. and a few have.

[SteppingRazor]

29. Well, it's probably different by then.

I imagine that, for a lot of people, security becomes a lot more important once you reach that age.

[amitten]

27. Actually, I just broke it off with a really wealthy guy because he

is emotionally unavailable and not affectionate enough. And I'm 37 and don't feel I have a lot of time to waste.

We're not all gold-diggers...:hi:

[Book Lover]

36. I have found in my nearly 40 years of life that the men who complain about golddiggers

are the ones who seem to never be able to find work. Why would that be, I wonder?

[leftofthedial]

37. although I don't make a habit of complaining about golddiggers,

I have noticed the trend in 40- and 50-something women since becoming single for the first time in 30 years.

As for me not being able to find work, that's certainly true for the last couple of years.


I'm just a loser, I guess. LOL

[DS1]

12. Tomato patches

[Phillycat]

35. Heh.

[texas1928]

13. Well..

A 3 ft tall midget with a 5 foot tongue and can breath through his ears.

[Deep13]

14. Depends on the individual.

If you mean in her love life, I have no fucking idea.

[Bake]

16. If I knew that, I'd write a bestseller and become wealthy

beyond my wildest dreams.

Bake

17. I believe BarenakedLady's answer in the mirror image of this thread nailed it

and I would refer posters there to find out what I think here.

I'm not going to give you a link because I'm lazy.

[Inchworm]

18. hehe

I saw that too.

When I went to post what you said, I saw Deep13's post above that was about 10 minutes off BNLs so I didn't. (gawd- did that make a bit of sense?) :P

I agree though.

:hi:

[Bucky]

22. Most of the women I know are looking for an apology.

Most of the men I know are too. After 40 years of this, I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's me.

[Evoman]

24. Depends on the woman...and on what they want at the moment.

according to my experience....

Women want:

1)A guy that doesn't kiss ass or is a doormat.
2)Confident
3)Takes care of himself, mentally and physically.
4)Good sense of humour, and is not afraid to be a little self-depricating (obviously not too much).
5)A guy who DOES shit....who doesn't sit on his ass and scratch his balls.

However, since women are individual, they have many different needs or wants at different times.

Sometimes they just want a foot of fun, if you get my drift.

[some guy]

25. I know! I know!

some *other* guy.


:eyes:

[Westegg]

26. Well, uh, ME, of course!

[Burma Jones]

28. Loyalty, Honesty, Respect and the ability to make a decent living

Now, what Girls are looking for....that's another story altogether.......

[Chan790]

30. Jesus.

Who doesn't want a greater connection with the Lord?

:hide:

[Iggo]

31. Chicks dig the long ball.

In fact, chicks dig it whenever anyone begins a declarative statement with "Chicks dig it when..."

Yep, that's probably true. Yes, indeedy.

[quip]

32. Spend a lot of time on the bunk, do ya Iggo?

:D

[Iggo]

46. Sadly, yes.

[DarkTirade]

33. I can't really speak for women in general,

since I tend to only go for the quirky/weird ones myself. :)

Then again, for them to be interested in me, they pretty much HAVE to be quirky and/or weird.

[Fire Walk With Me]

34. Understanding, preferably non-verbal. Freedom and support. Passion and intimacy. Sillyness+smarts

...that look like Fabio. Or Angelina Jolie, depending. Lesbians have better taste.

;)

[swag]

38. A warm place to shit.

[JVS]

41. The greatest desire of all people!

[youthere]

39. Right now I'm looking for my other green sock.

[billyskank]

44. I have it.

:hi:

[youthere]

45. I wondered where that went!

:hi:

[guitar man]

42. a man....

...with an ass that looks as good as mine does in a tight pair of jeans :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. Obviously

not me. :(
