Do men REALLY know what women want?

Question

Be honest, guys. Do you really think you know what women want?

RavVid · Accepted Answer

Wasn't it Freud that said "God knows what women want. They don't even know what they want. So how can men be expected to know?".

For a long time men thought electrical appliances would do the trick and make girls happy. See this Edison Electrics video on making girls happy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUYzkTU7PQ0&t=25s

But that wasn't enough. They weren't happy after all.

From my point of view I do think girls should have been impressed by how much we improved their lives and the female orgasm by inventing the inner spring mattress. But no. That was just as much a flop as electric appliances.

Even the hairdryer didn't wow them. Instead of hours by the fire, getting their hair dry in under 15 minutes (I'm just guessing) didn't earn eternal feminine gratitude.

Overall my conclusion is that what women really want is to be perfect princesses and no matter how many electrical appliances we throw at them, despite the inner spring mattress and all, they are never going to be happy because to be the perfect princess will always require a bit more.

I’m a man and i know that the only important thing about women’s liberation was giving them the opportunities to go after what they want for themselves.
What women want is a constantly moving target. Women’s lib should have ended that. Despite having literally every opportunity men have ever had and then some, the majority of women still feel oppressed. That’s a sign of mental disease or defect, as far as i’m concerned. Nevertheless, as a nation, we are legislating women’s happiness in ways that we’ve NEVER legislated for men. What happened to “equality”? Ell oh ell!

Regardless of how men answer this, the key here is that females will protest being lumped into one group, even their own gender. They will say something like, "We are all unique. There is no one rule to apply to us all. You have to get to know us individually. It's the only way to know what we want."

So a guy can never say 'yes' to this. It's really about the specific women in his life, past or present. And then when he knows each of them, the girls will feel somewhat ok with him saying 'yes.' And then she'll change, and he'll have to know those new things too. It's never-ending.

You can't know what women want.

We don't work that way.

We don't have one standard processed brain that makes us all act and like the same thing.

It's this thought that makes men go women have no clue what they want.

They hear one woman say they like something. The guy goes. Oh all women like this. So when the next woman doesn't like it he is confused af.

Shocking we all have our own wants and needs😱

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I'm pretty sure that I do, at this point in my life.

Lliam · Answer

Not really. I know what some women want, but not all women want the same things.
Not all men want the same things, either. Each person is unique.

Also, people evolve over time and their desires and needs may change.

The best thing to do is ask. Get to know her. Keep the lines of communication open. Be interested in her thoughts and feelings.

No because even women don’t know what they want. They get what they think they want then change their mind. I watch this video where women were asked if it was ok for a man to cry. A majority of them said yes. So they asked the women up to what point is it ok to cry. She said I don’t know he has to figure that out himself. Because at a certain point they look at men different who cry for certain things but can’t tell the interviewer what things would those be that would make you look at him different. But too not all women are the same. Some cry easier than others. Some are girly, some pare tomboys.

Every time I think I know what a woman wants, I slide back down the learning curve... sometimes its all gentle-like, dust-off and try again, and other times its a thud when I hit the bottom.😵‍💫

NathanDavis · Answer

I do know what the women I know... want

for all other four billion, I only have good guesses... can't say I know or sure though

the one thing I know for sure is that I WILL find out, what they want...

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

I used to actually believe that “the right man would just know” but the longer I spend on GaG, and the older I get, the more I realize that men, for the most part, haven’t got a clue what most western women want.

Lionman95 · Answer

I'm a guy and I often try to guess what a woman might want. Sometimes im right but more likely I'm wrong. I also just don't a few basic things what women might like or look for when it comes to relationships.

AydenHazor · Answer

I would have to say I know what some women want, and that's because I have asked them. Communication isn't hard and it works wonders in knowing what someone desires

DavidRaul · Answer

Well if you think i can know you beforehand because you have come into my attention by posting this question, i mean that would be totally ridiculous. Women think that men have to know them completely after going on a first date. And yes, i can assure i know what they want if i have invested my time to know them completely and properly only if i am serious about them. Do you really think women kmow what we "men" want?

spartan55 · Answer

Beebella I'd have to say I know what some women want, but certainly not most.

😆😆😆 women don't even know what women want. But seriously, men know generally what women want. But even if you give her what she wants or show what she wants she'll deliberately claim it isn't or change just to mess with the guy. Most women typically want to complain about something.

LiamSawyer · Answer

The real question is do women really know what they want?

blissinanarchy1 · Answer

Women don’t know what women want so how the fuck can a man?

Fireguy17 · Answer

It would be really helpful if women would just let men know what they want.
There is no other way to know.
Otherwise we are just guessing, and then we keep hearing the complaints that we don't know what they want.
Well duh!

The best we can really do is study the psychology of dating but putting it into practice is an entirely different beast.

No. No one truly knows what the other really wants. That’s why communication is so important

Yes. There are only 2 things that make a woman unhappy. 1) Getting everything that she wants. 2) Not getting everything that she wants.

Somewhat, but I often ignore those thoughts because it feels like manipulation.
