What -- you're disqualifying yourself?

They want above all to be reassured that they are good.

They want to sleep a lot, some of them -- and almost all of them want to be told they are exciting, socially or humorously, or emotionally, or intellectually, or sexually, or just in general.

They want to be assured they are creating good effects and are admirable.

They want to be told it is all right. And that they are right.

Okay, brucie, I'll take a stab (no pun intended) at it... I mean, it ain't like I know much 'bout this kinda stuff and I reckon that I realy shouldn't go lettin' the cat outta the bag 'cause, unlike the womenz who is swored to secrecy, we men, ahhhh, just gotta go and run our mouths.... So, of this in embaressin', sho nuff is... Ahhhh, like a man wnats feel like "da man". Sho nuff do! Ain't that right, guys?

Like we don't want no womenz to say stuff like "Ahhhhh, is that it?" 'er "My last husband didn't drink that much!", 'er "This jus ain't workin' fir me!"... No sir, 'er mame, we menz wanta think that we got the bases covered and it's up to you womenz to lie yer danged heads off and feed our fragile little egos... Purdy simple.

Okay, ya' all don't like that answer then, what the hey, it's back to cold beer and an occasional new set of strings fir the Martin...

to be thought of as something other than a sexual object constantly even though my line of thongs is scintillating. Sometimes I just want to be held. Sometimes to just be appreciated for my mind. (God, it is tough being a folk music Adonis.)

Men? They want to be loved and to give love, and they want a strong sense of purpose, and they like to have some fun now and then too. They want to be valued and appreciated until (and if) they reach enlightenment...at that point they simply love everyone so much already that they're not worried about getting love back anymore. Such men (and women) are rare, but they do exist.

Add to this the fact that souls reincarnate as both male and female (in different successive lives, I mean), and you will see that a "war between the sexes" is a nonsensical notion, mainly driven by temporary cultural influences. A soul is seamlessly inclusive of both genders, but normally incarnates as one or the other in a specific physical lifetime. Either way carries its own unique challenges, that's for sure.

What do men most envy about women? My guess is: multiple orgasms. :-)

Most men also want toys. Lots of toys. Toys can vary from simple things like an airplane model or an electric shaver or a jacknife with multiple attachments to more complex things like a full-sized airplane or a surround sound system with a giant TV screeeeeeeeeen or a 500hp roto-tiller or a yacht. It goes on and on, and is responsible for a huge chunk of the consumer economy.

Women are not so much into toys as they are into accessories. This also helps drive the economy in a big way.

There are some exceptions to the above examples, however! Some women like certain toys too, and some men like accessories.

There's a story that after Adam and Eve were created, God visited them with a bag in His hand, saying "I just remembered a couple of things I forgot to give you. The first is" -- and He reached into the bag -- "the ability to pee standing up."

Leaping to his feet, Adam exclaimed, "Woah, yeah! Right on, God! Wow, peeing standing up! I can write my initials, and I don't have to undo all those clothes, and I'll look so cooooool. Yeah, gimme that, God, pleasepleasepleaseplease!!" Eve smiled, and said, "Oh, let him have it if he wants it that much."

"Fine, Eve," said God, "then you can have the other" -- reaching into the bag -- "multiple orgasms."

(My husband doesn't think that joke is funny. I laugh hysterically.)

Judging from the on-again-off-again-on-again thing I find myself in, some of them want a woman who *doesn't* put out... seems that if you're up front and happy to have a bit of fun, they run off and look for a girl who's more of a challenge. Hmph. Double standards!

A Beautiful Woman who adores him
Co-Workers who respect him
Friends who laugh at his jokes
Parents who boast about him
A Family who gives him TV time
Siblings who are just slightly envious of him


And a 10"...


(The only difference between the genders I can see here is the last...and if it ended in "...chocolate", it would work for the fair sex as well.)

A beer with his fish-and-chips, a job that is interesting and worth doing, a woman who suits him, a cup of tea, bitter and sour rather than sweet things (except that woman), a new author (all my favourite ones have quit or died), peace when he needs it, a reliable vehicle, lots of tools, friends, music, fishing, and somewhere like Mudcat.

The men I know want, among other things, to know that they are fully human, unique, and valued for thier uniqueness-- that they are not considered expendable.

They want to know they do not have to go to war, that they do not have to always be the protector, that they do not have to kill or be killed.

They want to know that a woman is able to look after herself and be a partner.

They want women to interrupt and refrain from any form of male bashing. They want women who mother boys to mother them well and in a healthy fashion.

They want the woman to speak up and be clear about whether she is or is not interested in being a sexual partner-- they like knowing when they can take a break from the constant pursuit-rejection/conquer role sexually nd can relax in safety with a female friend who will enjoy them exactly as they are.

They want women to understand them without controlling them or manipulating them to change, and without mothering them in whatever way their mother mis-mothered them.

They want to be able to be close to other men without being accused of being gay or weak or needy or silly, and without always having to compete with them.

They want it to be safe enough.

Sheesh! Do these men you're speakin' of also still need their teddy bear when they're tucked in at night?

I may be a relic, but these don't sound like men I would want workin' on a case with me. It ain't never "safe". Life is a risk-takin' adventure. As for "male-bashin'", I would tend to look upon that as a form of flirtation. Doesn't bother me.

Date: 17 Aug 04 - 12:26 PM

Very astute and sensitive Susan and goes a long way towards describing what men really want. Probably an impossibility for some women to either grasp this or be able to do anything about it if they do grasp it. But then, my experiences are the basis for the comment.. and not all men have suffered my fate(s). Not blaming women for my relationship problems as such...I'm sure I was not all I should have been either! I was certainly "expendable"
Best wishes.

Just reporting what they said. :~)

It is reemarkable, however, how well relationships with men can go, when one keeps all that in mind and acts like it is so, no matter what one is seeing on the surface.

Chimps, now-- that's different. I have no idea what they want as I do not yet understand/speak chimp or sign language. Horse, cat, dog-- those I understand/speak with some facility. But not chimp. :~)
