What do women really want?

I'm sure our antipodean friend will answer for themselves, but my guess would be "someone prepared to meet you halfway", (that kind of equality might be good.:) ).

“A fair go at it” as I understand the term does not mean that. But like any saying, especially older sayings, it can mean different things to different people. To me, it is not a good saying, not a good saying at all.

I've never understood why some find this so mysterious.
Women want what men want and what children want. What all humans crave.

We want to give and receive love, affection, kindness, support, encouragement, loyalty and respect.

Perhaps some people find solace in the concept of unassailable differences between the sexes. One way of possibly avoiding uncomfortable self examination, and, perish the thought, the sort of connection which requires vulnerability, communication, and a willingness to grow.😋

It’s baiting.

If you think the cartoon I posted above is meant to bait anyone, I'm afraid I have to tell you I found it yesterday on a good friends social media contribution, and I think she thought it funny, simplz.

If on the other hand anyone has any difficulty "having their legs pulled" then I'd sggest there are organisations they might wish to avoid, like "Round table" (read "Buffaloes" in the US), where the one thing all members need is an ability to laugh at themselves, or be laughed at, whilst giving the same back to their mates. :giggle: .

Well, we are all allowed to think what we want and express our thoughts since we both live in free speech countries. Then, there is a difference in the way UK women think and American woman think. I don’t have a problem with humor and I’ll join any organization I want.

Having said that, It was baiting, which is fine, cause you got baited back. Maybe, you should not join the “Round Table”. 🤣.
 
Hmmm, Canucks are known for our self deprecating humour, but we calls it likes we sees it. For something as silly as this was, I don’t see the need for passive aggressive remarks. Funny how they seem to pop up in this thread whenever women express an alternative viewpoint. Double standard in my book 😅

Sorry
Gotta argue with that
Min ar much much different than wimin
'Self examination' is BS
But, hey, it's a woman's opinion

I'll be in the shop
examining myself (HAH!)

Said the woman

Well then, they should examine themselves

I'll be on the road today, but hope to pick this back up again tonight

My husband and I will be going shopping later when he gets up. Going to buy a round table, got to have a round table for everyone to join. Already got the gloves and masks. Lancelot is coming over. He likes, well, to lance a lot.

We can discuss, around the round table, how your self exam came out.

Well, I certainly didn’t expect this reaction. No problem with the difference in perspective, but the anger and insistence on diminishing my capabilities by invoking gender, well, no thanks. Obviously, you feel targeted by my earlier remarks. They were behavioural observations, not personal attacks.

I am a therapist, it is what I do. We were friends, somehow, we ended up in this hurtful place? That grieves me, but I shall protect myself by utilising the ignore function. I am so relieved Philly never lived to see this. He would have been very distressed

Just differences of opinion

No anger

Never would diminish a woman's capability....ever
There IS a difference in a woman's thinking...that's my opinion....my experience

Hey, I'm old
I tend to go with logic and experience

You'll have a problem joining the "Round table of Britain and Ireland" even were you to live here, (as would I now), or one of the sister groups around the globe with the exception of the USA, as I said before. I'll let you figure out why, if you wish of course(?).
No need to worry, plenty of other groups, maybe some with similar aims, friendship, charitable, improving international relations, etc., oh and having fun. ;)! .

Sister groups? 😂. You will let me? Oh, gee, how generous of you. 🙄. I am not worried. I begin to see the problem. Have you thought of therapy? You really should. 🤯

Therapy is great, what is it you think I need therapy for again, not agreeing with those who think differently, (something like that or just general craziness?)?

You'll never know just how unfrequently I get described as "generous", so thanks for that, and yes we can have "sister groups", why not, I'm sure the name has no negative connotations this side of the pond anyway! :whistle:.
