The Enigma of Women

Although I adore women, they are an enigma, no guide books or code breaking machines are yet capable of deciphering or understanding what these beautiful creatures really want.

An extensive search of the Internet and time spent correlating the results showed these are what women want in a man:-

Honesty, Understanding, caring, strength, compassion, security and Loyalty.

I think these would mean different things to different women and they still dont help without more information.

So let us men ask questions, and or let the women tell us what they really want.

As a vast majority of people on the blogs are around 50 or older, so have women's priorities changed?

I dont want sexist or stupid questions, might delete any of them!

My first questions:

What makes you feel special?

What are you really looking for?
(not a glossy impossible match like some profiles)

mmmm What makes me feel special----afraid nothing to do with a man map, that is from within for me that is,

What am i looking for------ a peaceful but not boring life in a two-some or one-some, just sharing, equality, warmth two ways, oh and laughs of course.

takes a long time to understand someone when they have already lived a lot of years,

Have a good day mapwave
Thanks Red, Good information to add to the code book, Have a good day yourselfhug
Hi Map, my kids make me feel special. I don't know how to explain it.
What am I looking for. Well I think I'm looking for good times as the bad ones seems to come without looking for them
Hmmmm........it's the little things that he does....

A surprise at times and sometimes, a very well-thought act that makes me feel like I'm the only girl in the world....smitten heart beating love heart wings
Hi Mimi, I think you have romance boiling throughout yourself!hug

Little unexpected surprises Noted
Women are as varied as men. They don't all want the same thing.

Once men know that, then they have to just find out what the individual woman wants.
Morning Molly, Yes I understand that, but there must be some general things that women want, and I will say that women dont always say what they want, they assume we know, we dont!, we do try but like the blog title, women are an enigma.hug
Maybe I am one of the rare ones, Map

When I am considering going into a relationship/in a relationship, I am always totally honest about what I want, what I can offer, what I can't offer, what is acceptable, what is unacceptable, etc.


Apart from what you mentioned above, I also need to have fun with the person. I want to laugh a lot and enjoy their company.

I would prefer if we have shared interests, at least some, so that we can do activities together.


I would prefer if they lived a healthy lifestyle as I don't think I could be with somebody who thought a gourmet meal was a Happy Meal.

I don't want somebody who is excessive in anything, whether it be drink, exercise, drugs, anything. A happy medium is what I want.

They have to be able to challenge me. I don't want somebody who bows down to everything I say or want.I don't want a doormat.
And challenge me intellectually as well.

I would prefer if they were good at the things that I am not good at, so we can compliment each other.

I want an equal partner that I can encourage to be a better person, and they encourage me to be a better person also.
Thank you for that Molly, This is the sort of answer myself and I would imagine most men need to understand.
You are an obviously strong minded and straight talking women.hug
He listens, intently, when I talk about my kids.

When I get angry with them, he'd listen and then take my side snooty grin

He asks about their well-being all the time. That shows he cares.

When I feel like I'm failing badly as a mom. he'd cheer me up....and I love him for that heart beating
Mimi! reunion


hug
I always encourage Art to order 2 banana splits so that we don't have to share! laugh
Molly reunion


Above statement meant for you wink
Mimi, I bet you eat some of his as well, even when he does get his own laugh
Mimi....wave

Art sounds like a wonderful man.

Hold on to him....professor

hug
Mimi, caring about your kids (noted)

Would it not be an idea to order 3 banana splits, one each and then one more for you?
Sorry for the hijack, Map hole hijack
Molly, dont worry about the hijack, I expect it!
It seems I upset Mimi....dunno

I don't understand women either Map tbh.

wow
Berrie, I didnt see anything that would upset Mimi, I saw a compliment, dont fret.
Berrie applause applause applause


No, I was not upset. not at all!!!!

I just went to town to run an errand for my son grin

Yes, Ms Berrie, gonna hang on to my dear Art so tight that he could hardly breathe! giggle


hug bouquet
If you must know, Molly.......snooty


Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!! yay





Why Map, you have MiMi's best interest at heart batting grin
Take it easy, Berrie hug hug hug

I do like you and I think you and Diova have the nicest hair around love
Awwwwwwww..............................Berrie is gone....blues blues blues


Do you think she's upset with MiMi, Map? help
Mimi, I have no idea, I dont understand women or bananas, I understand why dogs ride horses, I understand why parrots bark, but as for why Berrie left, I have no idea.
Serene, I like that glint too grin
Me toooo! I like Clint Eastwood too! love
No gleam, no deal cool
Hearing ya girlfriend, I don't do gleamless either drinking
See that's where you go wrong Map, you're s'posed to me lookin at meee not the sun doh
I knew I was doing something wrong!, Getting 1/2 blinded by the sun to obtain that all important gleam has been a worthless exercise. I shall now look directly at a woman....I learn and the list of what women want is getting longer.
I agree about that special look.

They also want to know that they are loved for themselves as persons not just the physical, they want to feel they are special to a man, they want someone who is honest and not critical or judgemental...yes it can be a long list...is this not true of men as well? After this a blog on what men want...hug cheers
Calm, Nice comment thanks, seems this special look is importanthug
all women here are here as long aas I am ant truth been none know what there looking for..think if you look into their user names it speaks mor about them than the profile ..me I have more of an idea what they want .but is public here so cant say are they women at all is another question ..some perhaps others I doubt..respect and caring and a desire to do things together should sound about right .but is no use here all hers are stars and divas
Ok so you're on your way Map conversing


Step 1: Look at the woman


Step 2: Get a glint going, but don't overdo it like you're Manuel out of Fawlty Towers or something conversing


handshake
Map when I look back at men I have cared about or loved, the most remembered are those who would look at me in a special way..as they say you can see it in the eyes. peace
I'm a star and a diva joy cartwheel joy
a little bit map maybe .and then you have im a diva and a star and stone mad as well
Serene, thanks....

Look at woman..........check

Can we be truly honest in self-description? This is my attempt. And to ensure it has some degree of truth, I’ve asked a female friend to give her opinion also. So here goes :
