One of the most pertinent questions a man can ask himself is, “What exactly do I want from women?” Once that has been answered, and it should not take long, the next question becomes: “What do women want from me?” That, alas, is far more complicated to discern.

The unfortunate reality is that while most men are clueless about what women want, many women also are confused concerning their desires. It’s commonly assumed that women, as a group, desire children and marriage but that simply is not the case anymore. In the last few years attention has been given to “the female player” and absurdities like “men who get used for sex,” which is as paradoxical as the phrase “the fork was exploited as a eating utensil.” Yet, silly as this mumbo jumbo is, it doesn’t stop the media from sensationalizing the topic, nor does it prevent many young women from following the lead of the press. The New York Timesrecently covered, in a celebratory tone, the phenomenon of girls eschewing commitment in exchange for short-term pleasures:

“Yes, they take pride in having thrown off the shackles of earlier generations of single women. They are not waiting on Friday night hoping ‘he’ will call. They make the first move. They happily see two or three guys simultaneously. Spontaneity is crucial, but even more is a good clean exit strategy from any guy who turns out to be Mr. Not Exactly…While men are obviously central to the ‘The Hookup Handbook’ ethos (do you want to hook up with a Metroman or a Himbo tonight?), boyfriends are most definitely not. ‘A relationship isn't the easiest thing to maintain, but swearing off boys isn't a viable option either,’ the chapter on ‘Defensive Non-Dating’ states...

Just perfect.

I don't think there's one type of woman for every man, anymore than there's one type of man that would make every woman happy. It's all personal preference.

I daresay some men prefer more of a doormat, and some probably like to be led by the nose, with thousands of variations in between; it's just finding the right type that's the problem.

[HairOfTheDog]

Everyone is made to look like an idiot in TV commercials. Victimhood isn't attractive ;~D

[HairOfTheDog]

Well put... Shouldn't be shocking to find out people are different :~D

[mabelkitty]

shudder

If your man is a Drama Queen, run for the hills!

[rockabyebaby]

I have yet to see a commercial where a guy makes a woman look stupid, if one exists it's the one and only one!

[Kirkwood]

So true. Someone for everyone. Personally, I would be bored stiff if I had a doormat type wife (no pun intended). At least a raging feminazi would be fun to rub the wrong way (again no pun intended).

[superloser]

Funny.

Up here, the women seem to be one of two types:

* Those who "know it all" and everything has to be their way (they will learn)
* Those who are utterly clueless and require massive whacks with the clue-by-four to "get anything" (they won't learn)

This crosses all of them from ultra-liberal to ultra-conservative to Bible-thumper. I'm pretty indiscriminate in who I'll talk to.

Oregon is a clue-free zone it would appear.

I guess the first move then is to put out a sign GTT and hit the road. (GTT, often seen in the 1830s and 1840s means "Gone To Texas). At least move to rural New York or Pennsylvania. But there's lots of work and some good colleges, large and small, in Texas. So come on down. We don't breath fire, but we do shoot guns, so you'd have to remedy that little discrepancy in your CV/Resume. The good news is that there's lots of folks who'd be more than willing to introduce you to guns, and we've got lots of places to shoot, even in Austin (aka "Berkeley on the Colorado"). You can pick from indoor and outdoor ranges. (I recommend outdoor, because the noise is not nearly so distracting, and the fresh Texas air is good for you. Most ranges have covered shooting positions so you don't have to stand out in the Texas sun, which is fierce.

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - everyone looks stupid in Enzite ads... including the little wife...

And I haven't shopped for years at Mervin's because of the stupid woman that stood outside the store in an ad repeating "open open open open".

Don't take it so hard if men have a little fun poked at them. Painful truth's aren't funny... Funny truths are. That's why the potentially very insulting list upthread (that you liked) is funny to me, and I'm a woman.

On a date dont ever proclaim " I have no idea how to cook, dont want to learn and I do NOT want children "

Yet another fun date of mine

[Cecily]

Commercials from the 1950's and 60's made "the little woman" look stupid or helpless. Commercials from the 1970's made everyone look idiotic and horribly dressed.

Husbands and wives are supposed to be dependent upon one and other. They're a team. Not like I would know personally, but my parents have been married for 25 years.

Couldn't agree more... my wife and I have been married .. um... 26 or 27 years... something like that... We are a real team !!! I tell her how to vote, and she tells me how to do everything else !! LOL

We also have a 19 year old daughter, who thinks a lot like you,... and we support her decisions 150%

You go girl !!! ( ummm I think that's what I'm suppose to say !!??!!)

"I may be 18, but how many women thought they had all the time in the world at 18?"

As I see it woman your age have even less time to find a guy than previous generations.

A huge percentage of guys today have been let down by the decayed culture and haven't the slightest clue how to actually be a traditional, responsible man.

Add that fact to the reality that as each year passes the pool of males (and females for that matter)in any cohort shrinks at an accelerating rate.

You don't have very long at all.

Frankly, if I had to do it over, myself, I would be married to someone I knew 20 yrs ago. Keep your eyes open.

Recommended to me by another, " The Predatory Female ". Entertaining and somewhat informative book.

And I am wearing an asbestos suit and earplugs.

Hey, I'm in Boston - imagine the fun I have here! At nights there are crowds of torch yielding liberals yelling " there he is ! Get him! " as I jump from roof top to roof top trying to get away.

[LauraleeBraswell]

HA! That's my plan. My dad always tells me that I need to go to school down South after I get my associates degree. I'm tired of having to set people straight up here!

4. Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair.

5. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.

And the congregation said, "Amen".

11. No, we don't know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on the calendar.

We had been married less than a year. I was a college student, working on my graduate degree. I had missed doing a lab experiment, a Thin Layer Chromotography lab in Biochemistry. I scheduled some lab time to make up my work, and wrote on the calendar at home "Don't forget TLC". Somehow, my dear wife mistook that for something sentimental. The fact that I scheduled it on Feb 14 didn't help one bit. I didn't get home from the lab until 10:30 PM, my Thin Layer Chromotography results in hand, and was introduced to the doghouse.

Don't you know Massachusettes is my very favorite state? It has my two very favorite senators, Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry. Well aren't you lucky!

I shouldn't be making fun, we have Hillary here in NY. My friend attends MIT in Mass, Oh the indoctrination. I'm afraid she's a lost cause.
