What do women really want?

grahamg said:
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:.

Well, if you go to therapy and take this conversation with you the therapist will explain it to you.
 
We are not a stereotypical group. We are individuals. What I want is not necessarily the same as other women. I don't want to take 40 years off of my age like Devi does. I've earned my stripes. I'm so glad I'm not young now. Life on this planet is getting radically more impossible on all kinds of levels. If I was young I'd have to live through it all.

Do you know I might just not bother, (or at least wait for a second opinion from someone who appreciates my finer qualities, dontcha know ;)?).

I guess I will LET YOU not bother. HINT! HINT! I really don't care either way. I don’t pull peoples legs, I pull their chains. HINT! HINT!.

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:.

Yes absolutely and if you’ve seen the film Camelot you’ll see how King Arthur is desperately trying to understand Queen Guinevere not manipulate her. One of my favourite films doesn’t upset my feminist outlook at all.
 
Well, I don't think that I understand men either, and I am one.

The flip side of this question might have actual answers on a scale that can be dealt with.
"What do women NOT want."

..... and I can't answer that one either, but I tend to believe that it would be a much shorter list.

I want a red Ferrari and about 40 years off my age.
<sigh>

Ferrari of any colour bit of an issue, but I'm sure I could tell you you're looking at least, well let's say a good many years younger than your passports states, (never have been very good guessing ages, and when asked to guess now my rule is say half the age you're thinking anyone might say when they were being "generous" too! :giggle::whistle: )

You had me there for a moment,....yes, Bryn Terfel does sing a song about Camelot, or taken from the film, but its not the one provided in the link, so not all that relevant perhaps, (will have to check out the lyrics to the song about a "fairy story" to try to assess any biases apparent in it to the untrained eye.:rolleyes: ).

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.😋

You've made some remarks here that I've ignored, (so apologies for that).

You've told us you're a therapist, (because its what you do, hard to stop being one perhaps, even in your private life, should you wish to?).

I'm assuming you've not yet written books on human behaviour even though you've obviously studied it a lot during your training or professional life. If I'm right, then the, let's say controversial views of Desmond Morris, the author of a great many books on human behaviour in over fifty years of writing, perhaps deserve more consideration than simply saying he finds solace in them, but they're his professional opinion at least. He's the guru I choose to believe is very good, hence keep mentioning him, where he highlights differences between the sexes , (often emphasising superiority in females perhaps, in some aspects).

I agree self examination, or as I'd describe it "an awareness of your own flaws", is important yes, so we're in agreement there at least. :).

Always on the attack, why is that do you think? :unsure: .

I agreed with you and you think that’s an attack? You must be very isolated to want to continue this conversation. Ask a woman friend or ex-wife and she will tell you what is wrong with what you wrote. If you truly don’t know, but everyone else does.

Edited: I actually think if I spell it out for you, in simple terms, you will claim you are insulted. But, if you would like me to do so, I will. But you have to ask. Can we be done now?
