It my opinion that what women want most from men is honesty... when a man is honest with a woman that also shows her that respect is given and most of the time the man will get back what is given. This isn't rocket science folks. When you add intelligence and a sense of humor to honesty and respect, what a woman is willing to do for a man is almost limitless... also show her how you want to be loved just as she is showing you what she needs and how she needs it. COMMUNICATION I put this last because most people remember the last thing they have read.. don't be afraid to talk to the woman in your life, she probably knows what's going on anyway, trust her to trust and believe in you.
Haha me too... Maybe why text don't work for me lolol not as fun to babble by text lolol I like to see the blood pouring from my victims ears when I talk them to death๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Well, never thought about it before tbh xD All I know for sure is that the guys that say stuff like "women don't appreciate nice guys" or "you need to be extra rich and threat them like shit if you want them to love u" etc. are very desperate. Women do want a caring and good man, not smn that will treat them like shit. But the problem is, many women are still looking for "an alpha"(or however u wanna call it). As my female friend said to one of those "nice guys", women do like guys being nice and caring etc., but they still want A MAN, not a sissy. And just like men usually care about ass/boobs size, so do women usually care about muscles.
Not gonna lie, of course I'm attracted to muscles... But I wouldn't not date or not be in a relationship with someone if they lived me and we had a good relationship... Trust, honesty, respect, caring, love trumps muscles
If both sexes new what each other wanted we wouldn't have all this awkwardness , the unknown, the drama, etc, it would be complete simplicity, longer lasting relationships without complication just my opinion โ๏ธ
Well that's the journey right to understand each other and be better.
If you knew everything then there would be no fun or meaning the mystery keeps things alive.
Let me make a sexist comment here lol as joke Offcourse.
It's said that only a women can understand other women, and they don't like each other and hate them so In a way its better if men and women don't understand too much about each other lol for sake of thd world
Itโs always the dumb guys who do lol. I canโt stand men that give me a lecture about what a woman wants. I am a woman I know what I want so you cannot correct me. Thank you.
Great advice!! And so true... If a man treats me like he thinks I am based off Misconceptions notions of how "all" women are instead of for me, myself, and who "I" am, instant turn off
What do women want? You mean right this minute? Or an hour or a day, a week, or next year? Women, like men, want companionship. Some want it more deeply than others. Women like stability. Sometimes that leads to bad choices in marrying someone. Women want to feel loved. Not just at the very start of a relationship but also at the very end of one. If you men actually listened to your woman, you would understand it's not just closeness, physically, but emotionally as well. Women need to feel productive in whatever they do. When they excel they like to be recognized for their excellence. So for what women want, it's complicated and simple. To love and feel loved. Nothing else really counts.
They've gone through them like shirts so they think that experience can define the entire feminine human species. What they don't realise however is the fact that they've been with the same kind of woman, the bimbos / high maintenance / gold diggers and now they're just overgeneralizing.
Bad experiences who turned them into sore losers. Since they couldn't have what they wanted, nobody should. So they go around spouting BS so that no one else can get what they didn't. Immature, sad, also a bit of pathetic. But people of both genders can be a massive let down.
NO! NO!! PLEASE DON'T TEST IT!!! Those idiots are DELUSIONAL, and if you test it, and EVERY GUY FAILS, it makes all of us look HORRIBLE!! So many women fail to understand, that there are a lot of REALLY AMAZING guys, that aren't among these 'Test Types' and are just "Normal" and not misogynist D-bags!!
My experience with some relationship were very bad with some toixice men. I am understand no matter what relationship I been in it could be a different experience. My list for ok dating is honset, ask questions, talk about common interest or what happened in world. Video games these are just optional. My deal breaker list unclean, confusing red flag that isn't even clear , ungrateful friends or have more women friends part from if. They know from long term.. if short term then just red flag. Being toxic. and blaming me for having trust issues even know that I told my ex boyfriend that I did have trust issues with women.
I honestly donโt know what women want, I can only give them what I want to receive is how I look at it, If I can make her smile , that makes me smile , we can only give so much to someone without receiving , when it comes down to being a giver without receiving , you are best just to walk away , We canโt force someone to be by our side we can just try to guide them to be by our side , if they choose to walk away , then let them go
Well thank you , and yes it sucks when we are turned down from someone we are really interested in , but letting them go makes you a stronger person , why itโs best to value your self worth and realize you deserve someone that wants you like you want them , never be someoneโs convenience
I've dated enough women and I've been married long enough to know what women want. They want a guy who is faithful, trustworthy, romantic, caring and sympathetic. They want a guy who will respect them and treat them right, be helpful, and have great communication skills. They also like it if the guy is stable with a good career.
Ok here comes the truth fairy. 1: no ugly, fat, scrawny or weird looking guys. Remember you can carry more in a 10p plastic bag than a handbag but who wants a plastic bag on their arm. 2: we want a big dick. It doesn't have to be massive but the words "I can satisfy you in other ways" are always a turn off. 3: you've got to have a proper job. It's the first thing our family and friends ask about you and we hate saying your a shelf stacker. If you haven't got a trade or profession it's too embarrassing to date you. Be at least as good as her friends boyfriend's, ideally be better.
That's kind of shallow and arrogant. Some women may believe they deserve those things, but what of women who don't meet numbers 1 and 3 themselves? In other words, is it realistic to expect your man to be of much higher quality than yourself?
I'd have to disagree with you about showing emotions in front of women. I know this is one reason I always wound up in the friend zone. I don't care if your whole family died in a plane crash, your girl sees you cry, she's going to leave you. From my life's experience, women are repulsed by men who show the slightest sign of weakness. I'd also have to say, that What women say they want , is observably different to what they actually go for.
Toxic masculinity is simply men trying to live up to the standards women created for us. If you don't see understand this, you have no business giving advice to men.
Women and men are very differently wired , polar opposites in many respects , so how can a man know what a woman wants? Plus every individual is different.
I too agree with this. I was told by a clinical psychologist and she said that male & female are equal in many respects but that doesn't mean they are always interchangeable.
For sure women want a man that could protect her and also responsible for her future like able to have a strong finance to lead a family. Love itself is not enough to survive in this world nowadays. So if a man with strong finance usually would be more interested for women to have a relationship.
Besides that I think one of the most annoying attitude about women is they expect men to know what's in their mind without telling man what do they want actually. Most of women are like that though maybe not all of them.
Honestly men could never understand if you do not tell them in words or face to face. And one more women is very sensitive with her age and also weight so need to be careful for that questions.
I don't mean if I understand women better. I'm just telling based on my experience and also from majority of women that I know and how they behave.
Whether man or woman standing on the outside of anyone will have different degrees of I'm right your wrong. They don't want to think they're in the wrong man or woman. But it can be down to aggressiveness, it more that he wants the woman to be, what he wants her to be rather than really knowing. To know what she wants takes a lifetime as it changes as time goes on?
The only test of whether you know what a woman wants or not as a man is whether you struggle to get laid or not. If you struggle to get laid you rely on blind luck, therefore you don't understand women. If you can get laid fairly easily then you must understand women in order to seduce them, otherwise you couldn't do that.
In the same way that the only test of whether you understand how to make good money is to actually make good money. Results speak for themselves.
Main reason men think they know better is because we pick women up and straight women don't. In order to do this we have to understand what she's thinking at each point and how to act to move things forward.
Me? I'm not a mind reader and don't pretend to be. If I want to know what you want I ask you. All I ask in return is be honest and direct. I am not skilled at guessing games. The phrase I hate the most is "well if you can't figure it out I'm not telling you!"

LOL why do I get the impression there's not much that would make you blush LOL
You'd be surprised. I'm all talk behind this phone. in reality I'm very shy.
Aww๐
Yeah... it's the truth. Always been shy... but once I'm comfortable with and around someone. Who knows what I will do or say. Lol
Yeah I'm not shut around people in general, but I'm more shut around someone I like at first
*shy
Yeah as am I. I'm crazy shy when around someone I like. I think that is most people though.
Or more awkward or start babbling to cover awkward silence ๐คฃ
I do that anyway.
๐
Haha me too... Maybe why text don't work for me lolol not as fun to babble by text lolol
I like to see the blood pouring from my victims ears when I talk them to death๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Well if you know me you know what ran through my mind that would keep you somewhat quiet for a little while...๐๐
But damn you babble like that?
Lol and not always but sometimes
I would love to listen
Aww thanks... You say that now, but the reality=(searches for duct tape๐ค lolol)
Well, never thought about it before tbh xD

Right๐ Any "good" advice you would give to the guys out there?
Be attentive to the woman and every woman is different! Thinking you know it all will just push her away! :)
Great advice!! And so true... If a man treats me like he thinks I am based off Misconceptions notions of how "all" women are instead of for me, myself, and who "I" am, instant turn off
Thanks!! Glad you relate!
I totally agree Alyssa! lol im guessing the thumbs down are from the people who want to correct you ;)
Thanks! It looks like it lol

Yes well said
Nice answer!!
They've gone through them like shirts so they think that experience can define the entire feminine human species. What they don't realise however is the fact that they've been with the same kind of woman, the bimbos / high maintenance / gold diggers and now they're just overgeneralizing.
Right!!
Which is done quite a bit here by both blue and pink. I completely agree.
I agree with @anon1903 and with @jerfanro.
@Jamie05rhs Me too
Bad experiences who turned them into sore losers.
Since they couldn't have what they wanted, nobody should. So they go around spouting BS so that no one else can get what they didn't.
Immature, sad, also a bit of pathetic. But people of both genders can be a massive let down.
Agree๐ฏ
There is only a few percent of men that knows what women want.
I am not one of them lol nada.
But I can try to understand and also wants always keep changing so not to worry about them
Advices depend on personality types generic thing is to be yourself and don't fake anything.
OFFCOURSE You can try to be better person in general that would eventually make them fall for you again.
๐๐๐
NO! NO!! PLEASE DON'T TEST IT!!! Those idiots are DELUSIONAL, and if you test it, and EVERY GUY FAILS, it makes all of us look HORRIBLE!!
So many women fail to understand, that there are a lot of REALLY AMAZING guys, that aren't among these 'Test Types' and are just "Normal" and not misogynist D-bags!!
You should know I'm not one to judge a whole gender by the actions of "some".
My experience with some relationship were very bad with some toixice men. I am understand no matter what relationship I been in it could be a different experience. My list for ok dating is honset, ask questions, talk about common interest or what happened in world. Video games these are just optional.

Great answer. And agree 100%
Well thank you , and yes it sucks when we are turned down from someone we are really interested in , but letting them go makes you a stronger person , why itโs best to value your self worth and realize you deserve someone that wants you like you want them , never be someoneโs convenience
Exactly!!!

^^ This is actually very practical in my opinion -- brutal but practical.

I agree๐
The differences in the genders are noticeable from when they are babies , so the " we are the same " left wing type propaganda is way off course
I too agree with this. I was told by a clinical psychologist and she said that male & female are equal in many respects but that doesn't mean they are always interchangeable.

Arrogance. I could say that I know all men and that all they know is sex, but it's so deluded, closeminded to put everyone on the same page
Exactly!!!
Thank you!
You know, that deluded thing you just said is actually what some women would say
