Title: What the F.. do men want?
Post by Linda_Howell on Dec 10th, 2004, 1:14pm
O.K., Marlin i need to clarify.  "besides that!"


  say for instance the sex is great.


What else am I doing wrong here?

What is it you men need?   I am at a standstill trying to figure out the MALE mind set.  

I cook, I clean, I iron,  yes, all of you teeny-boppers, there's an appliance out there called an iron.
I have a sense of humor...,..just ask Cluster C

\huck, Leesa and Jayne.

when you lust after another woman...is it for real?
Do you come home at night and TELL us your fantasies?
Is your work really that important to you.?
What is really the most important thing to you??


I have an answer to everything...but not this.


       I am hurting here.   :'(

I wish I had an answer for you Hun...and I won't even bother to read anything Marlin writes any how.

Still looking for the answer to that meself Sis.  Someday it'll all make sense.  Till then, maybe we just have to focus on being happy with being "us".  Dispite and in spite of "them"?

Jeez... I have no idea. If he's managed to capture your heart and he's still not happy, he must be brain damaged, Linda. I just don't understand it. In any case, kick him to the curb. You don't need or deserve that shit.  >:(

i think this is the best answer.

the best relationships i've found have been two "whole" people coming together, complimenting and sharing their self-made happiness. i've never seen it work for long when one of the people in a relationship "needed" the other to be happy.

sorry you're hurting...  i know heartache can be rough

:-/  Sorry Linda...sometimes this "love" business sucks. There is a new book out now, called He's just Not Into You. I saw the author on Oprah the other day and he said women don't have high enough standards for themselves. When I think about that it's true in a way. Women often see themselves as the "catchers" and allow men to do most of the "pitching". We let them control the relationships by "waiting " for them to be ready. I had just broken up with my 2nd husband and had pretty much sworn men off completely. I was in no way, shape, or form, looking for a relationship. I befriended this guy at work, and though I thought we might have been good together, I never wanted it to go beyond friendship. You know what happened...He pursued me...I was very resistant, which I think probably made him more intrigued. Long story short...we have been married for 17 years. He's my best friend and we couldn't be happier. I found the love in my life, I think, because I was soooo not looking for it. Set a standrard for yourself...you are sooo worth more than what you've gotten. There is a Mr Right out there. (There are also a lot more Mr Wrongs- but fuck 'em...you don't have time for them)You probably don't see him as a romantic partner, yet. He will pursue you. And he will cherish you in the way you deserve to be cherished.

P.S.  If marlin posts to this in his "usual" way, let's kick his ass  ;;D

Linda...

I hate to say this but MOST men are pretty damn shallow, you can do damn near everything for 'em and you will get used/abused.

 I like to think that MOST of the men here are not that way, I can only speak for myself.
 This is my train of thinking...I am a simple man, I don't require much. Sure I have all the wants and desires of a man in general, we all do, however what I WANT and what I NEED are two different things and I have learned to focus more on the needs than the wants.
 Also being a man, I tend to not communicate all too well how I am feeling at any given time, unless it is really bothering me, and even still it usually manifests as anger from frustration of one sort or another. Know this though if you are not loved I will tell you so, otherwise look more to my actions than my words to let you know that I care.


Now....since I am in the minority (JMO) as a male, I hope that at least brings you some comfort somehow.

Who loves ya baby?! :-* ;)

WHOOAAAAAAAA!  I can't speak for every man.  And I freely admit I don't understand women - you girls are a constant set of moving goalposts.  But I'll answer a few questions -- strictly applies to me though.

"when you lust after another woman...is it for real?" - Nope, not me.  Eye candy, that's it.  I have a lot invested in my marriage.  Not about to fuck it up for a strange screw.  I've had a lot in my time.  That's why I got married and to the one I picked.

"Do you come home at night and TELL us your fantasies?"  Rarely.  Could land up on the other side of a scowl that might last for weeks.  Not worth it.

"Is your work really that important to you.?"  Nope.  Work is what I do to make $$$$$ and to try and arrange for a hopeful eventual retirement.  That's it.  Of course having a job that's rewarding financially and emotionally usually requires a certain degree of focus and effort but that shouldn't be confused with "really important".

"What is really the most important thing to you??"  That's the hard one and I'll bet you couldn't answer it without doubt either. Being happy at home is the answer I'll offer.  Coming home to a smiling face,  no bitching or grimmaces.  Common goals recreation, financial, emotional... (sounds corny but makes a difference).  Some degree of admiration, intimacy and SEX.  Believe me, doing shit around the house counts too.

Sorry to hear you hit a snag in your life.  2 need to play the relationship game.  I don't think I'm in the position to give any advice.  Been married 19 years and lived with her a year leading in.  Aside from this relationship the others were like a practice - didn't count for shit.  If he's stumbled off the field more than once you may need to look for another player for your 2 person team.  That's entirely up to you.

Probably nothing.

Quote:

All men are different, there is no standard answer.

Quote:

Depends on the person, situation, and a 100 other variables.

Quote:
Do you come home at night and TELL us your fantasies?

Once again, it depends. It depends on what the fantasy is and if the person being told is on the same level of (for lack of a better term) freakiness. Dreams, on the other hand are told if someone is willing to listen.

Quote:

Work is for money. Hobbies are that important.

Happiness.

Hope I helped in some small way.

Post by john_d on Dec 10th, 2004, 2:29pm
This is kinda pragmatic, but....

First you have to play the attraction game.  To start, you have to be attract a man to chase you, but don't worry, men are attracted to many, many things.  Personal appearance, but also neediness- as in a woman who really needs him.  Second, men get more attracted the more they have to chase.  Hard game to play because you have to be evasive just enough to make them chase but not enough to actually get away.

I am sure you aware of the above, but I want to spell it out and make sure you realize it is seperate from below part of a relationship.

Outside of the attraction game, there is what people really want and need, rather than just what a man wants.  Here is the 'Maslow Heirarchy of needs'

http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/col/regsys/maslow.html  

Interesting stuff.


But besides all that, men are just imperfect human beings.  They are not the answer to lifes problems and if they are expected to be they may feel inadequate and dart.  

Vibes to you Linda.

Men physically lust often...very often, it's part of the make-up.  The key is not acting on it, if he does not have the self-discipline and personal boundaries to not act on those feelings.  He will cheat on you.

Hey, I still like SEX and rarely get enough of it.  The one I want to have sex with happens to be my wife.  Not because she's the only attractive woman on the planet, but because I still find her attractive and she puts up with all my shit which makes her even more attractive.  I'm lucky most of the time.

So... same marlin, only with a mildly softer side. :)

Yeah... If someone plays hard to get, I walk. I have no patience for games.

Personally, all I want is a warm bed, a kind word, and unlimited power.  8) And if I can't have all three, I'll settle for unlimited power.  [smiley=laugh.gif]

I don't think it's about games or hard to get. It's about not being the pursuer.
I think it's more of a game when men feign interest just to get sex. If a man is interested for the right reasons, he will pursue a relationship.

And marlin...who knew you had a soft, marshmallow filling!  ;;D

well Frank, it's a little more complicated than one paragraph can describe.  But I think you would be suprised how at least a little bit of 'hard to get' can get you going.  

But the main point I wanted to get across is this, their is a real physical process behind attraction and sexuality, and that it helps to have that *seperate* in your mind from the more rewarding process of building a human bond with a mate.

2 cents.

Look john, since Frank's been married for 10+ years (I think) I figure his response cariies a little more weight.  I know plenty of guys that married women they had to pursue and pursue and pursue.  That pursuit required a lot of effort, gifts, promises... The problem is these women all seem to think that was going to last forever.  Guys eventually get tired of continuing to pursue.  Produces a princess. An unhappy one that either bitches continually or finds another sucker to pursue her.  They are all on their second or third marriage and fucked up their lives IMO.

Getting along, physical attraction, common goals and regular sex are keys to staying together and being reasonaby "happy".

Post by Biker on Dec 10th, 2004, 3:06pm
I think Jeff Foxworthy summed the question up right well.    "Men are thinking,  "I want a beer, and I wanna see somebody naked.""   That is pretty true of most males.  I have been told I dont appreciate all the cooking and cleaning, laundry, house hold chores,ect.  not to mention keeping track of the appointments,ect.ect.ect. and the list goes on forever.  And she is right---I have never really thought about it.  Theres so many things to think about--fixing this, fixing that, the "honey do list", and trying to listen--well, I have failed miserably in relationships.  As far as sharing fantisyies,  hell no.  I like sleeping indoors too ya know.  I miss having  a signigicant other around, but I have learned that  (another quote) its better to be alone, than wish I was alone.  Nagging just makes me wanna jump on the scoot.  Relationships are tough.  At first, everything is swell.  After awhile, things are not so swell anymore.  Its hard work to keep a relationship going without getting on your partners nerves from time to time.  I once saw a T.shirt that stated  "It use to be Wine Women and Song,   now, its  beer, the ole lady, and T.V.     The newness wears off.   Things become hum-drum.  Its hard to keep the excitement going.  Ya gotta think of new things all the time to entertain the both of you and keep the relationship vibrant.  Being a victim of CH doesnt help much either.  Getting edgy, depressed, anticipating the next hit, the drugs we take, and  the grouchyness, is not good for a relationship.   I myself become right anti social during a cycle.  That in itself makes for hard feelings when Im out of cycle, and things (relationships especially) go down the drain.  I doubt I have helped your delemia, and I sure hope I have not made it worse.   I wish you the best of luck.  Its probally a good thing I live WAY out in the sticks----otherwise, I would probally jump on the scooter, ride to the bar, but a beer,  and hope to see somebody neked.

Then again, there are the guys in which the pursuit is the real challenge; getting what you want, then losing interest

Not going there bud, I happen to respect Frank's opinion because of his past posts so you are needlessly defending him.  But I respect my opinion as well, but I do take it with a grain of salt.  Why don't you go umpire a mud-wrestling contest somewhere if you want to break up a non-existent fight?

Frankly, what you said and what I said are apples and oranges.  I was talking about initial attraction.

LOL.... I have no patience for princesses, either.

It might be "Battle Of The Sexes," and the "attraction game," but after the relationship has begun, then all of that crap goes out the window in favor of, "Us, We, Together, Team, Family." Being in love is like having a baby: Both the mother and father compromise a little, sacrifice a little, and learn how to bend a little so that the baby will survive and thrive and grow. When one or both parties decide that the compromise, effort, and sacrifice isn't worth it, then that baby begins to die.

Linda, I don't know your exact situation, but like I said, you don't have to put up with that crap. Very best wishes to you. Never sell yourself short. There's nothing wrong with you, Dear.  [smiley=hug.gif]

All I want is for my wife to love me and trust me.

I don't expect her to understand me. I don't even understand me.

I don't want her to think that I understand her. She's even more complicated than I am.


Quote:
when you lust after another woman...is it for real?

Hell no!! It's just the typical thing that happens to most men 99% of the time they are awake. Physical attraction is all it is.  I think some of the girls in the picture of the day for the guys thread are awesome. I wouldn't touch them though if they walked up and sat in my lap. Someone else said it good. 'Eye Candy'.


Quote:
Do you come home at night and TELL us your fantasies?

Absolutely not!!! This would cause a never ending argument that I don't want to get into. My wife would assume that I have already, or am planning to act on those fantasies.


Quote:
Is your work really that important to you.?

I took a 15K pay cut from my last job because my wife didn't like the amount of time I spent there and commuting there and back. nuff said on that.


Quote:
What is really the most important thing to you??

I think an Adam Sadler song song says it best. I wish I remembered all of the lyrics. I actually learned it before and serenaded my wife with it. It's at the end of 'The Wedding Singer'. It's called 'I Wanna Grow Old With You.'.

All I want to do is grow old with the ONE woman that I fell in love with and watch my little one grow up. Later on, we retire and live in an RV in camp grounds around America untill we finally go to our permanent rest.

;;D

Added after the fact: I would also like for my wife to understand that if I don't feel like it (you know what) or I'm to tired to do it, It doesn't mean that I don't love her or that I had someone else earlier today. It simply means that I don't really feel like it or I'm to tired. This does actually happen some times girls.

So, when did you start to swear?  Was it recent?  I doubt it so it sounds unreasonable for him to expect a different woman than the one he committed to out the gate.  Probably something else.

Caution - If he says he doesn't like you I'm afraid there's little hope of putting humpty dumpty together.

One reason I rarely take sides in a relationship dispute is there are always 2 sides.  He may have a legit gripe??  Can you think of one?  Are you real tough on him with unrealistic expectations?  Anything you can think of?  Of course as I said earlier, more than 2X off the field and, well... you need to look for scouting reports to revamp your 2 person team.

Hang in there Linda.

Let's hope the agony is only a temporary thing.

We go through the 'You don't love me... Yes I do, whether you like it or not!!!'  phase at least once a year.

I hate fighting but it happens some times and it always hurts and makes me feel like I'm the problem.

There are so many other things I'd like to tell you but when I try to type it out the words just don't look right.

Juist be tough and hang in there if you can.

Here's how Adam Sandler said it.

This is what I want.  ;;D
--------------------------------------------
I wanna make you smile,
whenever you're sad.
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad.
Oh, all i wanna do, is grow old with you.
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches,
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks.
Oh, it could be so nice, growin' old with you.

I'll miss you, kiss you,
Give you my coat when you are cold,
need you, feed you.
I'll even let you hold the remote control.

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink,
put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man who grows old with you.
I wanna grow old with you...

Damn. I wish I knew the answer to those questions.

I know that when we start having problems, I try to step back and take a look at myself and usually see that I'm acting like a big self centered baby.

Post by Mac_Muz on Dec 10th, 2004, 6:16pm
Yeah I think women are complicated.. If it was just guy's, we'ld still be livin in caves wearin grass skirts, or maybe a hide of some sort with no stitching. When it rained we would smear on grease, and thats about it.
But oh noooo.. Woman comes twitching along, and thats sorta interestin'
Guys watch that walk, but we pray to never get caught out right, and thats even if we are single!

Now me I got lucky some how the 2nd time around and it seems I can't do anything wrong.. She don't go shoppin much and when she does it is practical stuff we really can use..

I maintain every thing we own, and much comes from the dump.. I prefer Queen Anne furnishings to what i find at walley world and in the NH dump you can get Queen Anne clones of the 1920's or so, and Hitchcock chairs and the like. Oh sure they need a new coat of milk paint and or varnish, but I can do that stuff.

My 81 Yammi motor bike came from the bone yard, right off the pile of cars.. I asked her about getting it and she said "Do it!" with a smile knowing full well I would restore it to better than new... What she didn't know was i would do lots of that right in the kitchen sink, and after a few years of riding on it with her, restore the paint to what it is today in our shower...

I do have 2 minor problems with her however. I like hunting and target shooting, and as of late had a few extra bucks to get a few guns, and if I let her try them out she tends to claim them. Women are known for not sharing so well, and I am not about to push the issue with a armed woman! So I have to get another gun if I want to shoot what ever type I wanted.. I find this gets expensive ...

The 2nd problem is I also do Buck Skinning as a hobby life style and added to that French and Indian War battle re-enactments..

Both of these hobbies require a tomahawk, and that is a axe like camp tool.. We throw them at blocks for points in competition. So this tool needs a tight handle to use it. Well water swells wood and so I discovered that being forced to leave the "lid up" that this makes a dandy swelling tank..

Now I bet you can see where we come into conflict if I forget that hawk is soaking.. I sure hope so as i don't think this Yankee lad can explain it here...  Mac

This is kinda pragmatic, but....

First you have to play the attraction game.  To start, you have to be attract a man to chase you, but don't worry, men are attracted to many, many things.  Personal appearance, but also neediness- as in a woman who really needs him.  Second, men get more attracted the more they have to chase.  Hard game to play because you have to be evasive just enough to make them chase but not enough to actually get away.

I am sure you aware of the above, but I want to spell it out and make sure you realize it is seperate from below part of a relationship.

Outside of the attraction game, there is what people really want and need, rather than just what a man wants.  Here is the 'Maslow Heirarchy of needs'

http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/col/regsys/maslow.html  

Interesting stuff.


But besides all that, men are just imperfect human beings.  They are not the answer to lifes problems and if they are expected to be they may feel inadequate and dart.  

Vibes to you Linda.
       

I agree with ya here John D... guys DO like the chase... and why do we wait around and chase them around cuz we like the chase too... Only problem is that WOMEN like to get caught... guys don't like getting chased........make sense?  There is a new book out there it was on Oprah the other day... by Greg Bedrendt  called He's Just Not That Into You.   I think all single women should read this... and the show was great.  He said alot of things I wish I had listened to in my first, marriage........ Buy the book Linda honey you deserve so much this life has to give to ya... Love ya lots and lots reehttp://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200409/tows_past_20040922.jhtml

I wish I knew how with no better than a Yahoo album to show her pic here, but I can't seem to even get a avatar to load from my system.. I am not computer literate... There are some things I don't seem to do very well.

I can't even get the "More Smiles" to work well. As the extra's load and I move the mouse to them they go away...

Linda my sister,
      You and I go back a way and from the e-mail I got from you a few days ago, well I am dumbfounded by the fact that such a worrier like you would submit, just to get help with the meds.
      I would endure all the clusters God can send my way, standing tall and knowing I am with a person that LOVES me enough to sacrafice her own sleep and no matter what, stick things out Holding my hand and asking what she could do to help, Your a wonderful Friend and person and you dont deserve anything but the exact same thing in return. we all have to compromise at some points in life to make our mate comfortable.
      Are you there for the right reason, Love?  or is it out of being scared and in need?  I love you Linda and it tears me apart knowing your situation. and by the way, I am still beaming from the last line in your e-mail!
      If anything ever happened to Terri and I you would be one of the first people I would contact sweety!
      You were alone before and fighting the good fight, is bing with someone that already makes you question the relationship worth giving up what you fought so hard to acheive before you hooked up with him? now your in a position to reap some rewards from this relationship should it end,  Spousal support and maybe medical insurance???
     I am very worried about you my friend!!!!! very worried indeed!   write me sweety!!!  pappy

Linda Sorry to hear you are hurting, and torn. From your posts and the posts of those who know you or know the situation it sounds like you need to re-evaluate your needs, and what you expect from him. Remember just because you want to change or figure out what he wants he probably will not be as willing to comprimise or put you before himself. The feeling I am also getting from this relationship is that it is abusive? Or might be? Sorry if I am over stepping my bounds but NEVER put your own personal safety (mentally, emotionally, physically) before anyone elses. GET OUT!  A person (man or woman) who truly loves another would not intentionally inflict any pain on their partner. (physical or otherwise) I know it is scary to leave if you are questioning it now, get out before it gets much worse! It wont get better and "great sex" unfortunatly is a large part of the relationship but not the most important. There must be a mutual respect for eachothers welfare, needs, dreams, and desires. A couple should compliment eachother. I have to remind myself of these things daily so that I myself will not fall back into that pit of despair. Never settle! Best wishes in your decision, there are resources available  to help with transitions souch as these. Please if you are in any danger take care of yourself! If you need someone to lean on, any of you ladies in bad situations. Feel free to PM or email me.
Love and Light
Cynthia

Then yet again, there are they guys that hate the pursuit, do it anyway, and then find out the individual they were pursuing was not what they believed them to be and lose interest. Works a million different ways.

pappy, That +10 sounds a little overstated sir.  I like the show of martyrdom though.  Makes guys like me live a living hell, that is, if the women really believe it.  My own sense of it, well, I think it's mostly in your head - the one on your shoulders.  Believ whatever you like.  If your parter prefers that you sleep across on the other side of the house and you're happy with that, enjoy.  I'll take the high octane romp, thank you.

Sad really, no wonder women like me would prefer to remain single than have to put up with the likes of neanderthol man here.

Sad really, no wonder women like me would prefer to remain single than have to put up with the likes of neanderthol man here.  

Marlin just club her over the head and drag her off to the cave.  On second thought, club yourself in the head might knock some sense into ya.


red sweetheart, just curious... is it your expectation to be romantically swept off your feet onto cloud9 each time you engage in a bout of love making - ya know - like in romance novels, music, silly Cosmo articles and movies??  And are you disappointed when you discover that doesn't happen each and every time?  Or do you just immediately make the connection that your prince-charming turned into a neanderthal overnight and then proptly look around for another price charming?  You may find one... or then again, you may end up like my grandmother who had the same expectations.  Good luck to you.  I think you need some.

It goes a little like this frat boy...

Seduce my body I may yours for a night.  Seduce my mind and heart and soul and I'll be yours forever.  Try it sometime...

Guys these days are just intimidated by a woman who doesn't NEED a man, what they fail to understand is that it is THEY who need women....best to get it right....

Dude...you really are thick, aren't you? You know it can be like that. It depends on the two people involved. It can even be like that after many years. It can also be the other side of the spectrum, as well. I suggest that you start a thread called What the f... do women want and then follow the advice. Your wife might give in after all.

nani you are sooo right!!  

Marlin, the moral to this story is that if you treat your spouse no better than a blow up doll, thats what you'll be needing in the long run.

Nani I do believe he's to thick to "get it".  No wonder he doesn't "get" it.  [smiley=crackup.gif]

If you like the answer take it.
If you don't like the answer leave it.

Not to quote Dr. Phil, but I do believe this and have been where you are at...... You need to take back your power!!!! Noone should have that much power for you, and if hes a cheater? Which I don't know, he will ALWAYS be a cheater(been married to one in the past) and he has been married now 3 different times since we were married. You are beautiful and smart so just take back your power and really LOOK at him and what do you see?I know its really hard but you will see him totally different once he can't control how you feel anymore when he does shit. People that fool around have a low self worth so they're always trying to prove something to them selfs! Good Luck, Hon Thats just what I believe anyway!

so red honey, are YOU "happy" right now?  Happy as measured by how you feel about  today and the likely prospects that you will achieve what you want tomorrow next day next day...  

How many times have you been married?  Do you even want to be married?  What is it you want and do you really think you'll ever get it  and make it last?

And what the fuck makes you think I don't treat my wife like she's my favorite person on earth. The fact is I do, she knows it and that makes her happy.  Everyone has different sexual body alarm clocks.  Mine goes off alot more than most  ;;D

Before my next hit and while I still have whatever is l;eft of wits about me...let me apologize for starting this thread.  I never expected it to get to 4 pages and I certainly did not want to start a war.

Many of you here are my friends and know me and my situation and that is why I came here with my personal problems.  But there are lots of newcomers who don't, so I should have just left this alone & if I wasn't here in OUTER MONGOLIA, Washington totally alone ..I would have.

I appreciate with all my heart the support I have recieved from all of you.   Ted?  Thanks for the laugh hon.

Before I married this man last May...I was a strong, independant, fairly happy person with a sense of humor and like someone here said...I have given him my power and if my head will give me a break for a while so I can think straight,  I will find a way to get it back.  Right now I don't even recognize me and who I've become, so it's going to be a long road.

  Thank you all.  

Now Marlin?  climb back into your cave like a good boy and stop fighting with my friend Redd.  ;)

That's a stupid question. Of course she does! Maybe it doesn't happen every time but it sure makes it better when both people try for it.
I won't say how long I've been married but it is long enough that my oldest grandchild is 17 years old. You do the math. My wife and I still go on "dates". Movies, dinner at top-of-the-line resturants. A couple times a year we stay at a Hotel in Vegas for a weekend. We've had romance in our marriage since day one and it is still as rich and powerful as it was on our honeymoon.
The attitude "Hey women, I'm in heat. Service me. Now!"
is going to make you a very lonely man someday.
And since your 'favorite mail article' is a catalog I think maybe your someday has arrived.

I can do the math.  I'm guessing that I'm a whole lot better at math than you are at reading.  What I hacked out on this keyboard was "EACH AND EVERY TIME".  I didn't type that out by accident. Got that gramps?  If EACH AND EVERY TIME is the measuring stick then I doubt red could ever be happy.  I have a sister-in-law like that and my brother doesn't know if he should kill her or himself or which will come first.

I guess I sound like a simple guy and perhaps I am but I also have a daughter.  I hope that she finds happiness one day too when and if she decides to get married  What I hope she brings to her marriage is a lot more common sense than princess attitude.  That would be a start.

About power:

"The power others possess
is the power I give them.
If I have endowed another
with power they do not possess,
Then
I face my own power
Do I not?"

Post by Leesa on Dec 13th, 2004, 9:07pm
Linda, dont be sorry. You have done nuttin wrong gal. Im sorry your heart is hurting and you feel so bad.
Now, you CAN and WILL get strong! If you dont like what you see in the mirror in the mornings then CHANGE it. No one eles can do this for you. Its ALL up to you hun. What YOU want in your life is MOST important.
SOME men have no clue who to treat a woman. I know I was married to 2 of the biggest butts in the world! But when I stopped looking for "Mr Right" I found him.
I found someone that holds my dreams close to his heart and LISTENS to my fears. He loves me for ME. Hes never tryed to change who I am or where I came from. Hes my best friend!! We talk ALOT about everything. We each have our own dreams and hobbies but we each give the other the space to be our own person. Any realationship is work. If both parties are WILLING to work at it fine, if not its time to bail. Marriage is no different.
Men are not as complex as SOME woman make them out to be. Most men want the VERY same things that woman do.  UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, trust, respect, and someone who is willing to give of them selves.
ONLY YOU can decided what you want in your life. Take the time to find out what you want, not what someone eles wants from you or wants you to be. In order to make you happy you have to be happy with YOU first and foremost. You WILL that one person whom is the other half of your heart! It took me 34 years to find him but I did!!!! Have faith girl friend it WILL happen!!!
Call when you can hun!!!
Love, Leesa

I haven't been here for a little while and didn't see this until now.  I hope things are a little better for you at this time. Please make sure you take into consideration compromise builds good relationships, but us women have a slight tendency to be overly concerned with the needs of our male partners. And if our male partners take advantage of that...well, we'll get run right over. I hope that's not your case. You deserve the best and don't you ever forget that.
Feel well.

All the other caveman vs sensitivity bs aside, I think Leesa pretty much summed it up.  Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of men (or women for that matter) actually know what they want.  They are still searching themselves and they hurt themselves and others in their trial and error method of answering those questions.  I think in the end, it does come right back to what Leesa said.

For me, first and foremost, my wife is my best friend in the world.  We can and do talk about everything.  I treat my wife the way I want to be treated.  I take care of her needs and try to fulfill her fantasies and along the way in me taking care of her, she takes care of me, too.  14 years later her mother says we are still like a couple of newly weds.  We must be doing something right.

I hope you get it figured out.  You deserve the best.  Good luck.

I would say beer and boobs but I'm not 20 anymore. [smiley=laugh.gif]
lusting after other women is a sin, but we are human.
What is in ones heart counts. I look at other women, but I lust after my wife.
Do I tell her my fantasies...no, why would I jump in the fire? She is my fantasy, and so much more.
Yes my work is that important to me, until she tells me otherwise.
The most important thing to me is her happiness. If she's not happy then I'm not happy.
I hope the best for you and all I can say is don't fight the inevitable...If he isn't making you happy Dump the loser. Lots of fish in the ocean. ;)
