Well if that is not a loaded question, I don't know what is. Today, I was talking with a friend of mine and he asked me that question. He also qualified it by stating "not only what 'you' want, but women." So, I took that he wanted a "generally speaking" answer. I threw him back a "Women want the fricken fairy tale." He laughed and asked me if I could be more specific.
Ok. How about this? Women want to be swept off their feet (even though half the population won't admit it.) They really do want a man who is like Prince Charming in most senses of the definition. And, I am not talking about the Shrek definition of Prince Charming either. I am talking about the real deal. Women really do want a man who is polite, respectful, romantic and manly all at the same time. He also has to be dashing, confident and bold. (Are you getting the picture of a man that does not exist?) Sometimes I think women to want this entire package. The truth is most women would be happy with even half that if the right combination was there. And then again, maybe not. There are really picky women and then there are women who only play by some stupid set of rules and then there are women who are trying to figure out what they want out of life and relationships are a sidebar. Men, if you are trying to figure out what a woman is looking for in you, there isn't a straight-forward simple answer.
If there was, don't you think we would all be in happy, functional relationships by now?
