It is something stronger than the force of gravity that drives them, that is their drive/seduction to have a man put a baby into them.
Women are about the most interesting subject in the universe. Once you learn some small facet of them, they recognize your advancing knowledge and change the rules of the game. If you are clueless regarding some aspect of them, they change the rules of the game in order to deepen your confusion.
Women... The most fascinating game a man can play while never understanding the rules!
(But flowers for no reason seems to be an acceptable gambit! ;-P)
What are women about? Well for one thing we tend to think guys are all the same, but we know what they are about.
If on the other hand one thinks all women are not the same, that is the beginning of wisdom, caterpillar.
Time to find one, fall in love, get married. After it goes sour you will meet a woman who will teach you that all women are not alike.
Then you can check off that question.
For my next post, a helpful hint...
Just read a book, “Freddy and Fredericka,” by Mark Helprin, that is mostly on the subject of the differences between men and women. I’m not sure that the author really answered it, since the question begins to be beyond human comprehension, but he wrote a beautiful book while trying.
Also, I am wondering if Helprin is a freeper, since at one point in the book a reference is made to “the loony Left.”
Women regard a never-married man of mature years with deep suspicion. Mature years plus conspicuous devotion to his mother is doubly suspicious. Make that tenfold.
If he says his mother is deceased, especially if the death occurs at a tragically young age, he had better be able to prove it because plenty of women will consider this a bald-faced lie, at the head of an army of same.
Moreover, if he has never been married before age 40 or so, your typical woman reasons that he has been on the shelf for some 20 years and countless women have NOT selected him for a mate, and their collective wisdom is not to be dismissed lightly. Thirty years and he is all but radioactive. A deceased wife would be an advantage there, or a great fortune perhaps.
What do women want from a never-married man age 52?
A good explanation.
Just checking in. There have been 80+ comments. Let me know when y’all figure it out.
I’d say self-fulfillment ranks the highest, for me
bump for later
“Understanding” what makes a woman tick (or a man for that matter) is irrelevant.
There are two types of people: Those that can get over their selfishness and those that can’t. Period. It equally applies to men and women.
If you can be unselfish, you can compromise, sacrifice, support, defend, nurture...all critical to raising a family.
If you can’t, then don’t bother. Be a single rich person , accumulate possessions, have fun..all that crap. Just don’t bring a child into the world.
Women who “want it all” are selfish. Avoid them like the plague.
Also, you MUST find a conservative woman. The first time I walked into my future wife’s house I saw a signed letter from George Bush thanking her for her generous contribution to the Republican party. How many single women have letters like that hanging on their refridgerators? I was hooked.
Now, 5 years later, we’re happily married with 2 sons. She suffered through my 15-month deployment to Iraq, kept up our household and took care of the boys alone. I flew over 50 hours of combat time as a UH-60 pilot, but she had it tougher than me.
I’ll live with her quirks like complaining that I load the dishwasher the wrong way. Why fight about it? We suffer through bad days and have many more good days. Lack of sleep from two toddlers gets to us, but you fight through it.
Accept your partner, give them space when they need it and compromise. Rinse, repeat.
RunningWolf, you think too much. How did you become so tormented by women?
There are plenty of women who don’t feel the need to make babies.
What is a man’s primal instinct? You and I both know what man’s most primal instinct is.
This subject goes both ways.
The more I am around women, the less strange they seem.
The whole making babies thing is just a phase for women and don’t think men are any less driven by biological needs.
Women are wired diferently than men, they have many more connections in their brains. It lets them verbalize their emotions and does increase their distraction from emotional cues. It makes them seem a little strange from our perspective but we appear a little obtuse from thier perspective.
I’ve been married for 14 years and the experience has led me to appreciate and respect all women more over time.
BTW, if I put another baby in my wife, she will probably scalp me.
About 5'6" or so.
Not true. I never had the desire to have a baby. I think woman like taking ‘care’ of things though. We are dependable and get things done.
At first, little girls were germs on the playground and tattletales. Then they became, “Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice”. As the years went by, they became the target of my desires, they were all challenge and conquests.
But then, they became what my grandfather had told me they were, “all precious ladies”. He told me to treat all women as ladies. To this day, I still try to be the one that opens the door and I greet every lady with a smile and a gentle nod. Some would see me as a flirt. Perhaps I am it bit, but I love ladies and I love to make them laugh, smile and just plain feel good. I often will go out of my way to tell a lady that I am not flirting, but that she makes the dress she is wearing very attractive. I figure, I might be the only none threatening moment in her day and a moment that made her feel good about herself.
Then I met this gal and she became everything to me. It was as though, someone had stolen my world but given me heaven on earth. She was my best friend, she was the fun in my life, she was my purpose, my playmate, my queen, my most comforting of souls, and she became “my absolutely everything”. From camping in a tent, SCUBA diving, hunting, fishing, trips all over the country, my passion for riding Harleys, my passion for the sea, raising cattle, riding horses, landscaping, growing vegetable gardens, enjoyment of flowers, my careers, my businesses, there has been nothing in my world were that great and beautiful woman has been by my side in and in many cases, my driving force.
She became my soul-mate, “my every fantasy”. She was like my mom when was in wonderment and a nurse when I was sick. She allowed me to be all of those things for her and even more, much more. She let me be her protector, her best pal...... her man. She allowed me to take her hand in marriage and that was over 35 years ago.
“She is my everything”, she is why my heart bothers to take it’s next beat and why my lunges fill for air. She helped me find reason for life and she gave me 2 wonderful children, a daughter and then a son. She is why we became a family. Although I may have become successful in working life without her, she is why I am HAPPY about any successes I have been blessed with.
To this day, when I look at her, I am filled with pride and humbled at the thought of this beautiful gift. All I see is that 20 year old girl that didn’t seem the least bit interested in me when we first met. I see her youth, and I see all the wonderful memories we have created together.
I remember the tough times when we didn’t have much to eat, but the good times have outshined them all. I see her as a gift from God...... to give my life purpose.
Perhaps you can tell, but I couldn’t be a happier guy with this strange creature we call woman............ and I can’t imagine a life without the one that I found..........
My wife wanted me to fill in my blank pages but I didn’t agree with anything she said.
