Well first of all, generalising about women (or anything else) is not going to yield very fruitful results.
What I want changes in every context, so I can't give you an answer that would apply to me all the time.
I think every woman wants a different thing, basically. As does any man.

What does a woman want?

Hmmm...Tricky.

Thanks Epiphanie,

taken seriously, it is a difficult poser indeed. However, taken a little more 'tongue in cheek', at Freud's expense of course, I think one could have a bit of harmless fun with it..tee hee!!

All this woman wants is a good gin & tonic!

An interesting question Fog,

demands a thoughtful answer?

...and that answer lies in Einstein's realm of quantum physics, where he was on to it ... because what a woman wants is ... well, RELATIVE.

See easy peasy, no mystery at all, right ... to the moment and on the moment of every hour, present and "connected?"

*LOL* yeah right, but I'll tell you that overall, I'd say happiness and love and you know what they say?

Happiness is wanting what you have, something I find most women don;t seem to understand at all... so we're back to square one.

Just like a woman's logic?

Hi fog,

What women want, is it Mel Gibson?

I think Lilla has the answer, it all depends on wind speed and time of day.

Thankfully this is a riddle for the ages that keeps us men coming back for further hands on research.

I haven't been by in awhile but great to see your well and still wielding a sense of humour.

That pretty much answers the question, women are more confused about themseves than we are of them. They go on about this uniqueness and whatnot, but it's all just bleh, it defies human reasoning to sit down and think 'gee I wonder what she means by that'.

Men only ever understood women back during the stone age: club 'em over the head and take them home.
The current 'what women want?' question is just a silly rhetorical question invented by women as a means to avoid getting clubbed over the head.

All the new age feminism shit is a result of our softening up, that and our desire to answer questions that weren't meant to be ^_^

It's just a rhetorical question, a woman asks a man 'what do you think I want?' and the man, instead of clubbing her over the head and taking her home, decides to sit down and think about it. Silly man.

basically. As does any man.

As a wise man once said (stand up comic, I forget his name): "If men could have sex with women in a cardboard box they'd never buy a house".

I'm not confused, far from it - I enjoy the uncertainty. I like to be open to the here and now, embracing my changes. It's empowering, much more so than creating some fixed response to that question.

So you're basically advocating that men not bother trying to understand their female counterparts? Gee, how progressive.

The answer is this we want you know read our minds and be able to answer questions such as the following correctly.
When we ask question like does my bum look big in this?

Ahmed,

Can you refrain from communicating with me at all? Please?!?

I don't even know how you would take that line out of context, nor am I interested in being enlightened about the scary pathways of your mind.

Just pretend I don't exist, why don't you?

Sorry about this, Fog.

Your Question....

Answer....

drum roll....

Why NO!! Of course your bum doesn't look big darling! It looks perfect, as if it was a fresh peach just plucked from the Garden of Eden!

So...did I get the answer correct?

drum roll...

I am fairly impressed but we don't want anything over the top because we think our partner is not taking us seriously

If a guy says yes - well I am not sure if any guy ever has said yes and lived to tell the story.....
If a guy says no we are not sure whether to believe because we are feeling a bit low any way. So there may be further questioning,
The correct answer is a simple: You are beautiful I love you.

Sweetheart, you might want to try and stop replying to me =)

I don't even know how you would take that line out of context, nor am I interested in being enlightened about the scary pathways of your mind.

You're the one asking for it, taking everything I say literally desperately trying to beat me down then crying foul when you fail to do so.

Just pretend I don't exist, why don't you?

I assure you it will be far more effective if you pretend I do not exist

Comment by Mountain Fog

May 25th 2008 03:19

Sara,

you are right of course, hyperbole always comes across as insincere, UNLESS, it is done with true empathy and love, with the correct intonation and stress in the voice to connote believability.

But, yes, a simple, 'no you look great' does the trick!

oh fog what an interesting question
let me first laugh at John Doe saying Mel Gibson *chuckle*
and say that if this was a romantic comedy Ahmed and Epiphanie would end up married by the end of the film both having learnt to love each other "just as they are"
which leads into my answer that women want:

1. the divide between fairytales and reality to narrow
2. the right to choose
3. the space to grow
3. at least one person to choose them above all others unconditionally (whether it be a partner, parent, friend, or child)

oh and a gin and tonic wouldnt hurt either

I hope you are not using Bogan Green, or Bogan Purple, or Bogan lurid red!!!???!!!

Unless of course, you have to travel through BoganVile, on public transport? I suggest taking a gas fuelled fire lighter, long stem, all you have to do is point it at a Bogan and go 'click', and the Bogan explodes into flames, coz they are saturated in metho and petrol and stuff, a lot do not drink it, they use it as cologne!

good luck getting through BoganVile!!!
