I hope that we all can agree on this: we're looking for a partner.

It's that simple... we're all looking for a partner in laughter, in sorrow, in success, against obstacles... a partner that inspires us to do better than what we would otherwise do... a partner that challenges and consoles... at the end of the day, I belive, we're all looking for a partner that allows one to be the best self that one can be.

I'm lucky -- I've already found her.... of course, knowing her, she'd argue that she's the one that's lucky; however, in this one case, I know better, and I know FULL WELL that I am the lucky one.

I know, i know, It makes women sound like better people than men. . . they are. . .sorry. (when it comes to that at least) lol


Yeah but can they hit a moving antelope with a spear from 300 yards and then find their way home?

Why should you care what men want, Lori? You're 24 years old, for God's sake; that's too young for most men, and too old for the rest.

I imagine much of what I wrote in the "What do women want?" thread applies here too, to some men, at least:

I want someone who is incredibly tactile and physical and not shy about showing affection and tenderness. I want someone who is intelligent, aware and curious about the world around them, able to converse intelligently about a very wide range of subjects, can be serious and humourous as appropriate. I want someone who can enjoy travelling the world with me, who has the same travel preferences and style as I do. Infact I want someone who can share much of the activities in life with me, someone whose presence enhances these activities and makes the experiences richer by sharing them and inputting to them. I want someone who makes me laugh, makes me feel secure and beautiful, makes me believe great things can happen, brings out the best in me, appreciates me for who I am, dippiness and all. I want someone who is strong, confident in who he is, able to go for what he wants and yet accept what life brings, who is unafraid to be himself. I want someone who is romantic, intimate and dynamite in bed. I want someone who is supportive of my ideas and feelings and, most of all, of my dreams.

In short, I want Pete. And I have him.

Can't ask for more, really.

On a more flippant note, I think what *many* men want is women who don't ask them to articulate what they want/ feel!

My girlfriend always gets mad at me when I won't 'help her with the dishes' -- don't get me wrong, sometimes I do...but I don't ask her when the oil in our 4 vehicles needs changed or the grass needs cut or the driveway shoveled. Or her supid little light that lights up her PRNDL shifter on her car that is burried by like 85 things needs changed.

I'm just making a point -- actually my girlfriend is the greatest. We went through some rocky times for about a year, but now, 3 years into things, I think it's all smoothed out. I just know when to shut up and (most of the time) I do.

I always try to get her into photography (a little bit -- just enough for her to use the dsc-p52) but not enough for her to want to touch the 300d.

I am so lucky I found my soul mate at secondary School, and 19 years on and I couldn't be happier. I wrote this in what women want:

I just want to be happy,healthy and stay happily married. I want my children to have more than I had as a child. I want them to respect others, and treat them how they want to be treated. I have a very domesticated hubby, and will make sure my boys learn these skills too, by baking on a sunday (LOL). They may want to live on there on for a while and won't have me or a partner to help. I want my family to be happy and healthy, and I want to die before my boys, it would be terrible for them to leave this earth before me.
(Don't think I am asking too much...lol)
debbie

adding......There is someone out there for everyone, it's just a matter of when your paths cross one day...everyone deserves to be loved and to love.
slussy I know....beers and tiddies can be part of that soul mate thing..lol

Well, women really don't like to be called fat, so if you're going to use that word, use Phat, or say that she's got lots to love. :)

I appreciate what you are saying, but I'm not talking about a woman that has a few extra pounds that she would rather ignore, I'm talking about a real fat girl who's proud of it!

Start the bidding at 300lbs :)

1. air
2. water
3. sex
4. food( including a good beer and or glass of wine)
5. rock and roll and sports
6. money, including cars
7. companionship/friendship (someone to share teh air, water food, sex and music with)
8. the meaning of life
9. the thrill of the chase
10. the cocaine rush of new love
11. the heroin comfort of sustained love.

not in any order and not complete, just a good start

Personally, I'm not looking for a man or ways to please him, manipulate him, etc etc. I was more looking for what each man would say he looks for in life as a means to be deeply satisfied (not just instant gratification as stated a hundred times ;-). Not necessarily to talk about his feelings...lol Men are more complicated than beer commercials give them credit for .. or so I've come to realize.

Coming from a fat girl, and no offence to other fat women, but there's nothing to be proud of.

It's a death sentance.

Loose weight.

I did/am

64 lbs. down, 60 lbs. to go.

Here endeth my PSA.

I do indeed admire very large women, but also do realise that there are practical issues to take into account too. My wonderful wife has lost over 160lbs so far (another approx. 160lbs to go).

Even when choosing fact over fantasy does not mean that the fantasy does not exist :)

All the very best on your weight loss journey :)

GoldBerry, men are complicated as are women. That is what makes relationships between a man and a woman so great. If everybody was shallow and not complicated it would not make for a interesting relationship.
One of the greatest things about a relationship is learing about each other and growing together, in a good relationship those two things never end.

Absolutely. My point is that the "typical" man is depicted as just that: typical. Beer swigging, boobie oggling, and shallow. And that's it. I watched a documentary about how advertising not only sells product but tells us how we should act. Like a new car commercial that introduces a new line of trucks "just in time" to stop men from getting bored and talking about their feelings. Gender-based advertising is absurd once you actually pay attention to it. That's probably want instigated this thread.
