What do women really want?

For the most part, today’s young woman are better educated about man woman relationships than ever in history. They have the internet-know how to check men or women out. While some older woman may become the prey of a con artist, Cupid if you will, those professionals are very good at what they do.
I agree to a certain degree. There are a LOT of older mature women that will ALWAYS be about 3 steps ahead of men. They have lived a life that have taught them AWESOME lessons. So many young women are prey as well... Men that Prey on women does not age discriminate.

True, but woman prey on men as well.
 
Don't you think, when you're hit by cupids arrow, all kinds of rational, or reasonable, respectful even, thought goes out the window a little? :unsure: .

It depends on where cupid's arrow has hit me.

I certainly admit feeling lust towards women where rational, reasonable and respectful thought has gone out the window. However my rational side recognizes these feelings as lust and doesn't share them, express them or act on them. No one needs to know about my lust unless we're already in a relationship where I know sharing such thoughts is welcomed by her.
 
The Cinderella story, and the like, harmed generations of both young men and young women. Women need to save themselves, men need to back off. 🤣
 
I remember a post you made on the subject of romance in another thread. I don't want to try to misquote you here, but I agreed with you then and now. :)

I said, I think, that my husband and I are not romantic. We still are not. In fact, right before we married I wrote and told him if he ever hit me, ever, I would kill him in his sleep. I meant it. He believed me and he never has hit me.

You can misquote me. I have a terrible memory and forget what I write, or change my mind 🤣, but @Aunt Marg said I am 100% correct all the time so now, I sticking with that.

I do understand but I could not kill my husband because if he hit me, he would not be worth me spending jail time. I would enjoy spending his $$$$$ instead. :love: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

You can lust after so many members of the opposite sex can't you, and I doubt the experience is really anything like the one you get when you meet someone a bit special, (whether you choose to act on that feeling or not too?). 🥰 .

I doubt I'm very romantic either, but I remember the late, great actor, Sir John Mills explaining in a tv interview alongside his wife, another actor maybe, how they both decided early on, for their marriage to survive the rigours and strains of a show business lifestyle, they decided to do everything they could to keep the romance going, and succeeded. :) .

That is certainly commendable. My wife and I were friends for several years before getting married and have always been comfortable with each other. Things just seem to work for us, whatever name we might put on it.

It's actually not that different for me. I've had loving relationships that started with physical lust transformed into intellectual and emotional intensity as well. I've also had loving relationships that started with intellectual or emotional lust that transformed to include physical intensity as well. I've fallen in love with a woman who I wasn't that attracted to in any way initially. For me the catalyst doesn't determine the depth or intensity of the eventual relationship.

Interestingly enough the women I tend to remember the most are the ones where we were on different pages and never got onto the same page for one reason or another.
 
Instead of "handle" read "manage", although it may not scan so well in the song, so whoever wrote it used a word to mean the same thing, (he /she didn't mean physically handle did they).

Anyone taking objection to the word probably meant quite innocently has fallen into a bit of a trap though, because if you listened to Bryn Terfel singing you'll know the last line is, " How to handle a woman, is to love her, simply love her",(and who doesn't want that, man or woman?). :love:.
Handle and manage have the same purpose. I can manage just fine without being handled. ;)

Never been tamed and never going to be(?).

I've been tame enough, and could do with a bit of handling and managing perhaps, (and as an old mate of my dads used to say, "A woman can draw a man further than any man can force him to go"). :unsure: .

Could you be described as "the thinking woman's totty"? :) .

Good point. Leasing is renting, so it is similar to renting an apartment or furniture or whatever else people can rent these days. To me, with limited understanding of leasing a vehicle, it seems that for a business, it might make sense since they would write off the cost. From what I have read, it doesn't make a good financial choice for private individuals. But for those who must make payments, if it is less expensive per month, then maybe that is better than not having a car.

I learned long ago to pay myself first, so I pay myself a "car payment" every month so that when it comes time to buy a car, I don't need to borrow. Also, I check to see how much I have then to spend on a car, and stay within that limit. Hence, I have never owned a new car. Fortunately, cars for me are simply a tool to get from point A to point B and back. If we take a long road trip, we rent a car rather than putting miles on our own vehicles. We don't often do that, so it works out fine for us. Everybody has to work out what works for them, and this is what works for us.

I have read a number of time in magazine articles about stress and insomnia, that it is money issues that cause these things for a great number of people. I could see that, especially when something big happens to the economy, or the individual layoff, and suddenly, the music stops. All that debt comes crashing down, rapidly eating up whatever cash and savings a person might have. I would not want to live like that, and we have consciously chosen not to.

Boy Tony, you sure "hit the nail on the head". I could never understand all those people maxed out on their credit cards. I drive a 2018 Ford Focus with all the bells & whistles. I bought it 1 year old & paid cash for it and I got a great deal. I don't owe any money to anyone, the pension comes each month so I "sleep like a baby". Leasing a vehicle was never for me.
