To know what women want, apparantly.

[Wink]

Seriously, though. Each woman and man has a multitude of individual and unique needs, and a multitude that they share with billions of other men and women. People cannot be put into a little collective word, however lighthearted you intend to be. We are not the Borg.

Jasmine, I know some women that act exactly what you are describing.
 
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
 
If I had to choose between a hot girl who was stupid but a nympho, and a mediocre attractive girl who was smart, caring, and quick witted, but only wanted to have sex once a month, I'd pick the latter in a heart beat and never regret it.
 
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
 
Oh how kind of you, to put up with it only once a month.
 
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
 
I don't understand what you mean by that.
 
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
 
I'm saying that I am not impressed with your virtue or self-control to put up with a nice girl if you're "only" getting some once a month.
 
Posted by Khavanon (Member # 929) on :
 
Just to keep it fair, there are many instances where women are the ones who have to tolerate having less sex than their men want.
 
Posted by Jasmine (Member # 7370) on :
 
sorry, i'm only 15. not quite out in the open world. but i can tell you with what i've been through, it's all you'll think of when a guy/stranger looks at you. "he just wants sex"

It's a cliche and like most cliches, it has a certain basis in reality.

Not all of us are degenerate pondscum and some of us are - just like any other human.

Myr: are you saying that we have to put up with women once a month (pms), and now only get some once a month?!

It was a random number. My point was that that number doesn't matter (well if the number was zero it might matter, but it would matter to women too). My point was that my emotional and social compatability with a woman are far more important than my sexual connection. While both are important in a relationship, it's far easily to find a woman for sex than to find an intelligent, nice woman to fall in love with.

And the falling in love part is far more important to me.

PS - I had pizza for dinner. It was very satisfying [Smile]
 
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
 
No no, "put up with" was bad word choice. Maybe "settle" is better, I was not making pms references [Razz]

Jasmine, he may be an artist? He might just like you, and think you are pretty.
Who knows what goes on in other people's heads. I'm sure NO-ONE knows what goes on in my head, unless I tell them. [Big Grin]
I totally understand where you are coming from though, I didn't want to give off that impression to people so, I wouldn't look at them. It wasn't until I had to look at people to draw that I started to break that.

I've had pizza at least twice a week, usually more, for the past year and a half. I really, really am no longer fond of pizza.

A comfortable life they don't have to think about.

Viz a viz: a girl that thinks he's wonderful without having to treat her wonderfully
A life made comfortable without having to work for it.
Someone to flirt with him without flirting with her.
Someone to laugh at his jokes without the bother of making them funny.
Food, comfort, and sex that comes when all he has to do is show up.

quote:

Sex and Beer
by Pat McCurdy

St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians
Said, "It came to me upon a midnight clear
I finished writing all of my gospel
Now all I seem to want is sex and beer"

Marc Antony looked down on Caesar�s body
He said "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me you ear
I did not come here to praise Caeser
I came here for sex and beer

Chorus
Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the two things we hold dear
Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the things we like �round here

George Washington, he never crossed the Delaware
There was no midnight ride for Paul Revere
Ben Franklin never discovered electricity
They were too busy looking for sex and beer

Chorus

Charles Dickens gave us "Great Expectations"
Shakespeare gave us "Hamlet" and "King Lear"
Dostoyevsky gave us "Crime and Punishment"
Who the hell is gonna give us sex and beer

Chorus

From the city to the suburbs to the country
From the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere
They're holding a tremendous referendum
And everyone's choosing sex and beer

Chorus

They can take away my pride and my dignity
They can use up all my blood and sweat and tears
They can take away my name and give a number
But they can never take away my sex and beer

Chorus

We like sex and beer and sex and beer
And sex and beer
And sex
And beer

Ahh... but I do love that song [Big Grin]

In other news, the girl across the hall is having a huge fight with her boyfriend and I'm in complete sympathy with him even though I don't have the slightest idea what they're fighting about because it's 3 am, which seems to be one of her favorite times to fight with people, which she does frequently.

Although written many years ago, Lady Chatterley's Lover has just been reissued by the Grove Press, and this pictorial account of the day-to-day life of an English gamekeeper is full of considerable interest to outdoor minded readers, as it contains many passages on pheasant-raising, the apprehending of poachers, ways to control vermin, and other chores and duties of the professional gamekeeper. Unfortunately, one is obliged to wade through many pages of extraneous material in order to discover and savour those sidelights on the management of a midland shooting estate, and in this reviewer's opinion the book cannot take the place of J. R. Miller's Practical Gamekeeping.

Unconditional Love.
A deep, spiritual connection due to shared faith.
A commitment to stay the course, whatever might come.
Someone who will simply hold and be held for hours at a time.
Someone to share the best days of my life with.
Someone to share the worst days of my life with.

Well, that's what this man wants. [Smile]

You think it's cold? Is it wrong? It'd be cold if it was wrong. I'm not unwilling to provide the above list, but...I want to get what I want. [Smile]
 
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
 
Yes, it's wrong.
Here is what men want:

1) To compete in an arena in which they have a chance of winning.
2) To feel useful, even needed.
3) To feel independent and self-directed.
4) To enjoy themselves.
