Honestly, I don't think women know what they're looking for half the time. They think they do, sure. A lot will say they're looking for a nice, honest guy. When they get one though they usually treat them like dirt. (Sorry for the generalization ladies, but this is true at least 99% of the time.)


This seems to be the standard response from men who aren't getting what they want. Yes, there are definitely women out there (and men, too) who know what they're looking for and what they want. Generalizations don't work well, no matter how much you think they do.

Sure one out of a hundred maybe. The rest are generally clueless.

This is probably true, but when a man does find a woman who KNOWS what she is looking for, she is really criticized. She is called names like:

Gold digger, stuck up, and other choice names.

Imagine if a woman told you: "I know what I am looking for, and it isn't you."

So you ask why and she says:

You don't have a good job, not enough money, not good looking enough, not good in bed, not a big enough penis, wrong religion, wrong values, etc etc.

This is true. Which is why I think it's better to just be honest about that kind of stuff up front. Saves both parties a lot of time.

Is it really that none of them know what they want? Or that you're not fitting into their preferences, so you're just assuming they don't know what they want?

That would be my guess. After asking them directly and giving it to them then having them do a complete 180 after the fact. But what do I know? I'm sure I'm the problem. whoa

Perhaps it's the type of women you're going for, rather than being 99% of women as you claim.

Just someone to love me as I am.

hmmm Clumsy, unorganised, a little ditzy, always happy, I dont want to see bad or deal with it. tongue2

Thank you Anacondaarms, for accepting me as i am. flowers and trying to fix the things I dont want to deal with..


Hey Josie,

I think you hit it very succinctly.

I have heard this quite a few times.

The best thing any man can hear is for his woman to say, "I don't know why you say I'm so wonderful. I'm just little old me."

That is of course only true if he is honestly saying she is wonderful.

I'm looking for a guy who doesn't have to ask what women are looking for.


Since every women is different this seems to indicate he should be able to read minds. Yes, some things are intuitive but the variations from woman to woman are not. Women are more complex then men. If communicating wants and needs seems beneath a woman it's a sure guess she'll be alone for a long time. All of the mind reading men are dating or married to the mind reading women.


I didn't say anything about reading minds. That's certainly not what I'm expecting. If you pay attention to someone you're interested in and listen to what they have to say, there's a good chance you'll know what they're looking for. Or at least have a good idea.

Besides, what I said was joking around somewhat, as communications important. Lighten up a little bit. You sound kind of bitter.


I know what you mean. I had a woman tell me I knew what she wanted before she knew what she wanted. Always said the right thing.

Then again there are a whole lot of other women that told me I didn't have a clue.

You just need to click. If you do the relationship is easy and fun. happy

Maybe so. But I'm just speaking from my perspective and maybe my perspective is a little skewed. But then again, maybe it isn't. I don't know. What difference does it really make? I'm not going to change who I am to make someone else happy. I can't. If they were the one for me, they wouldn't want me to. That much I do know. I'm just tired of all the games I've run in to so far...

If you're constantly getting the same results, change what you're doing. Look at the type of women you're going for and see if that's part of the problem, rather than blaming the problem on women in general.

iam wondering what women are looking for this day and age and if there are any in my area want to hook up for any reason


Well many of us don't want to "hook up" for any reason, we'd like to make an informed decision about letting someone hopefully worthwhile into our heart and lives.

I don't understand the people that can see a few pics and a couple paragraphs in a profile & know that they wanna "be with" or marry that person. Yes, it is a tool to make a decision on whether you'd like to meet someone or not...but geezus people, get to know someone before planning your future with them!

I can't speak for all women, but I'd like to meet a man that can handle establishing a friendship before things move onto something romantic, because if you aren't the type of person I'd want in my life as a friend, then you are definitely not gonna be what I want as partner!

I dated a number of women in my long life (time sure seems to fly when you are having fun.) At least 7 out of 8 kept their eyes down on the ground, when we walked from one place to another. I asked all of them, and they told me they keep an eye out for money on the ground others have lost.

That's a lifestyle and philosophy that makes sense to me, though I haven't adopted it. More sensible, simpler and easier to understand than any other religion, incl. the Bible.

Well it's good to "feel" where you are going with each step; but it's also a good idea to look up and "see" the beauty around us. Money is great to have but when it becomes the central focus of every step, it becomes a worship. And I would be leary of anyone that looks down for money all the time :wink: bigsmile

I think women know what know what they want..we want someone who isn't perfect but is perfect for us.We don't need a mind reader,we need someone who is in tune with us...face it,the day that women and men understand eachother is the day that hell freezes over and pigs start to fly. Both sexes have traits that balance the other..all we are trying to do is find the other side that balances us as individuals.
