Can men ever know what a woman wants?Don’t take this seriously.....

@Ronni .... good examples of communication!

yes...... it is important to say aloud and not assume they KNOW because time together etc....
i have been saying things outright lately ............but it is like i need to be on repeat or write it all down .... which won't work as situations change.

Guessing and OR assuming is a losing move... in many cases.... so is pretending nothing changes....
sometime Brutal honesty is needed.

Now there is a novel idea ... ASK. Why do some assume they know then get mad when they guessed wrong.

After 52 years of marriage, I can honestly say I know the answer to this ageless question. The answer is no, a man cannot ever know what a woman is thinking, that is because, most of the time the woman does not know what she is thinking!

Yup

I wrote something awhile back
Posted it here too many times
But
The subject keeps coming up

Wimin

The most mysterious beings of our planet

I found out long ago, about sixty years or so, that gaining favor with the finer gender of our specie is not necessarily in my best interest.
Whole different frequency
Wired different
Fiber optic vs 9 gauge single conductor
Fascinating, mystical, attractive, you bet
Sensitivities I’d never remotely considered
But, hanging with a group of ladies?

Can’t

Mentally; exhausting

Socially; this ogre doesn’t stand a chance

Spiritually; beyond any reach I may have thought I had

Physically; like looking into the sun, can go blind if obsessing too long

Gaining favor?
Whimsical touches
Nothing of depth
Any more than that and I find myself precariously dangling off a mental precipice

I can do one, maybe two per sitting
and that is mostly because they sense my discomfort to the point of putting forth effort to discuss what I’m interested in
I’ve learned to pick up on this and placate for a bit, then find a way to excuse myself

I don’t avoid ladies, but have learned not to seek them out
It’s what shops are for

I’ve been fortunate

My lady has put up with me for half a century

When I become too much and I (for some unknown reason) anger her,
I found placing my calloused hand on the small of her back will still cause her to flinch
….and she begrudgingly forgives me

We have had this tryst, this romance that has yet to fade

She’s plenty for me

Forever


So, here I remain
Baffled, yet attracted at the mysteries, complexities
A sentry
A defender
A protector
A willing grunt

Keeping the fire

best I can

No! Because wants change.

Once a man understands he doesn't know what she wants at any given time, it's best to look confused and ask. Then ask again just to make sure she hasn't changed her mind in the few seconds it took to get her 1st. reply.

Let me get this straight,.............."shy, retiring, (NOT), forum best friend could not handle all the attention that would most certainly be lavished upon him if surrounded by large group of forum ladies"(?). Tough sell and I'm not buying it at all!!
Lets read the above again in full:

Mmmmmmmmmmm, the flaw in your plan I'd guess, (trying to read wimmin's minds here), is you'd be given this question first: "You have to ask"?, and having fallen into that trap, second scenario: "You have to ask again"? :whistle::rolleyes:o_O:cautious:
 
The English language is different for women:
Yes = No
No = Yes
Maybe = No
We Need = I Want
I am Sorry = You'll be sorry
We need to talk = You're in trouble
Sure, go ahead = You better not
Do what you want = You'll pay for this later
I am not upset = Of course I'm upset, you moron!
You're very attentive tonight = Is sex all you ever think about?

I doubt either will really know what the other wants - or needs - unless we all acquire the ability to read minds. LOL I don't think I would like that

According to my father, we were supposed to "read his mind", when it came to what he wanted us to do on the farm or whatever, so just maybe we do have this power, though don't realise it.

Having said that I don't remember such abilities, or powers ever coming to the fore during my seven year marriage, so far as I was concerned at least,...., (not sure about her ability to read my mind either, but as there was so much less going on in it, she had the easier task I admit! :) ).

Men admit they like sex.
Women pretend they don't like it, don't want it, don't need it & can't even spell it.

You’re treading in dangerous waters. No means no. Don’t EVER assume that a women is just “pretending” she doesn’t like sex, so you go ahead anyway.

As for the rest of your comment, perhaps they just don’t like it, don’t want it and don’t need it…with YOU.

Regarding that last phrase in particular, and your entire attitude in general, you’ve made it very clear the low regard with which you hold women, which perhaps explains why women don’t want anything to do with you sexually.

If a man is alone in the forest and no one else is around, is he still always wrong?

That depends on what he is actually doing in the forest. Here, we often call it poaching......

You're 100% wrong on all three counts (respectfully, of course)
I'd never assume anything regarding sex. When a woman acts like she wants nothing to do with sex, I want nothing to do with it either. Then she'll get angry at me for "Not Trying." That takes care of #'s 1 & 2 of your flawed comment.
You might consider doing something about your hypersensitivity.
But hey, I'm LOL'ing at all three comments & laughter is the best medicine. 😂

So, basically, what you are saying is that if you found a purely innocent man, alone in the forest, you would accuse him of poaching, so that you could kill him? :):):)

That is the most powerful response I have ever heard to that joke!!

Usually people just say, "Yes! of course he is still wrong!"

But you want to murder him!!!

Remind me to never upset you!!! :):):)

Usually, if I find a man alone in the forest, he is on MY land without permission......and we don't kill poachers, we arrest them.

"women" - as in all women? Condemning ALL women on the basis of knowledge of a few reveals a disturbing bias on your part. As another poster said, it is more likely they do not like the behavior of an individual male.. I always liked sex - but I did dislike the sexual behavior of some individual men

Oh, I agree that this is pretty sexist posting. This is fine with me because I love "politically incorrect" postings. I have to smile due to the fact that my last wife and I were soul mates and we almost knew all the time what the other person was thinking. She was a wonderful gal and we had many happy adventures together and yes, I miss her everyday. You just don't find women like her "growing on trees."
