Subject line says it all. Anyone??


When you ask a guy "What were you thinking" and he responds: "I don't know"... he's telling the truth.



bingo.

If you're pissed at us, tell us why. While it may be horrendously obvious to you, it may not be to us. Expecting us to know doesn't get anything accomplished.

I think most men have 3 basic "moods".

1.Hungry
2.Tired
3.Horny

We will nearly always be at least one of the three. Many times, possibly two or three of those.

[replyThere are certainly exceptions but most are basically very similar.

(Most) Men’s needs:

1. Sexual fulfillment (who woulda figured?! :D)
2. Companionship
3. Attractive spouse
4. Domestic support
5. Admiration

(Most) Women’s needs:

1. Affection
2. Conversation
3. Honesty & openness
4. Financial support
5. Family commitment



Just curious but where did you get this list? I'm not sure I agree with it at all.



Seems to be a few missing pieces.

And a few added ones as well.

My list was shorter and more accurate.:ph34r:

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... Wondering why "sexual fulfillment" is not on the list of women's needs... and wondering why "financial support" is on the list (I don't think most women are looking for that in a relationship these days)... and I'm not really sure what "family commitment" means, but it doesn't sound like something that would be in my top 5 list of needs (though maybe most other women feel different about that???)...

4. Domestic support Housekeepers are wonderful...
5. Admiration

(Most) Women’s needs:

1. Affection yup, check. Which leads to my sexual fulfillment, so check that, too.
2. Conversation yup and nope. Companionship is the key, not talking.
3. Honesty & openness That's not a need, it's a fundamental requirement to even be in the relationship to begin with
4. Financial support NO WAY DUDE! Yeah, it would be nice if my honey were trumpin', but I support myself thankyouverymuch, and so do a WHOLE lot of other women around here
5. Family commitment Not a need for me right now...



you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

I’m sure it wasn’t meant to say that women don’t want sex. It’s just not usually in the top priorities.

GAMES SUCK



Not when the game is naked twister!!



you got a point there.. :P

I meant "games" as in mindgames.. trying to put shit in our head that makes us question ourselves and our ways..

Relationships are things between two individuals, if you don't like the individual you're with.. break up instead of trying to change them...
Cause you can't...

Men don't like neurotic women. Like when women worry to the point where they get physically ill thinking about improbable scenarios. Oh and we don't like it when we get yelled at for stuff that's not even our fault.

Was this list something that the therapist gave you, or did you and your wife write the list?

Just curious...



It was given to us.



It seems to me that people are so different from one another... that a generalized list of what men and women need would not work for most people. If I were a therapist, I'd probably have the couple make their own list of what was most important to them... But hey, it sounds like it worked for you, so what do I know? ;)

I'll bet if you replaced financial support with "security", most women would agree with it. In 2005, security=financial support to most women.

Men are the people who get used by women and then tossed to the curb. That about does it.



Can't toss mine to the curb...he's attached by this gold round thing. Reminds me of that phrase 'Gotta bugger on my finger an' I can't get it off!' :D:D:D:D

How's that for a beautiful analogy for marriage?? :P

OK...my .02.

Affection ...well, yeah, if you want to be with me then you need to show me some affection

Conversation...yeah, you need to talk with me openly and honestly. Not make me pry things out of you.

Honesty and Openess...goes with the conversation. Say what is on your mind and be willing to discuss it with me.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT...get a life. Women today are as well equipped to care for ourselves financially as any man. I have never asked a man for anything financially nor do I expect to start now.

Family committment...Um, isn't marriage a family commitment that both men and women should share?

Now as for the male's list. I think I might like a little domestic assistance, a lot of sexual satisfaction, an attractive spouse, and some admiration would be nice too. :P
