Yeah, i want a man to support me while i stay home and have babies....NOT.

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.
AMEN!!! We are not f'in psychic.. tell us how it is, that's what we do too.. (at least I do)
don't expect us to read your mind, and don't play mindtricks..

(Most) Men’s needs:
1. Sexual fulfillment (who woulda figured?!)
2. Companionship
3. Attractive spouse
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.

you got a point there..

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...

Just curious...
It was given to us.

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.

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.

I'll have to add that to my list of things to do....

QuoteMen 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!'




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

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

It's starting to sound like you want Vallerina to support you while you stay home and have babies.

1) Food
2) Sex
3) War
Everything else is a derivative of these three things.
Beer from food.
Sports from War.
Expensive Toys from competition with other males to attract a mate -> both Sex and War.
Etc Etc Etc.

There are certainly exceptions but most are basically very similar.
(Most) Men’s needs:
1. Sexual fulfillment (who woulda figured?!)
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
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.

At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.
