Now, I'm not saying I subscribe to this (necessarily). But I'd agree that all four would probably be on most guys' "top ten" *smile*


More food for thought that I really am a guy........these 4 capture my simple needs, although I'd probably be compelled to add "beer" in as number 5 too.
dont you mean a pint?

Me too, except I'd be willing to substitute beer for #4. I'm willing to make compromises, heh heh!

I don't know...food is necessary, but if the sex is good enough, sleep can honestly be done without .


I can live without beer and the game too.


Now that I'm down to food and sex am I too close to being a woman? Yikes!


Now I'm glancing suspiciously at the fact that I have seven pairs of shoes, not including military footwear or ski boots. Granted that does include climbing shoes, running shoes, and sandals, but still...


OK, so the five Stephenie Meyer books in this room are not helping my case. Looking at my list of movies on my computer I notice I have Charlie's Angels, Legally Blonde, and Sex and the City in the list. Granted I've yet to actually watch Sex and the City, but it's there, like that pair of panties you have in your closet that you can't bring yourself to throw away but you know is going to get you in trouble someday...er, nevermind.


Let me check...oh, wait. I have a plastic, light-up lightsaber with interactive sounds based on movement with a collector's edition stand.


Still a guy. Whew.

I am back in the dating game after many years of marriage and 4 kids. I have been seeing a man for approx 2 months now. He is wonderful in all aspects of the word but only onMon-Fri. When the weekends come he disappears and I dont hear from him. He has also asked me not to call or text him. He will call me! I am at a point where I feel I need to let him go. I am 42 and I don't feel I need to play these games. I understand space and I dont mind him going fishing etc.. but why would he tell me before he leaves to remember I belong to him but I cant call him. Help.. very confused.

He's married, or is going home to his REAL girlfriend, AND he's using you.


Walk away, he ain't THAT wonderful.

... as for what men really want ...


Men want their 'mothers' with sex. Since this sort of relationship is verboten and taboo and basically 'sick', they settle for the next best thing. They WANT women who'll 'behave' like mummy - cooking, cleaning, caring, wiping their sniffles, propping them up, tending to their wounds, real and imagined, lending a sympathatic and uncritical ear and always putting them first ... THEN they want sex.


ok, I jest.


Sort of.

From what I have heard, and I'm no expert but I keep my ears open, a "regular" man wants:


A woman he can be proud to be seen with
A woman that can keep up with him intellectually
A woman that can listen and be his emotional support when things are tough
A woman that desires him, and lets him know it
A woman that stays faithful to him
A woman that is loyal and can keep his secrets
A woman that lets him be whohe is without criticism
A woman who loves him with all her heart


Am I too far off guys?

Every person is different. To some sex is everything. They can't get enough and their life revolves around it. To them it can be an impersonal thing with not much emotion attached. I would say most people here are after more. Sex is a benefit of a deep relationship and it has much more meaning than a one night stand. In this instance it is a joining of souls, not just bodies. Some men do have and show their emotions. I can shed tears watching a good Lifetime movie along with the girls.
Why aren't you closer to me? I am getting the tissues reading your response, I think I love you!!
