What do men want?

Stone · 11-16-2005, 08:41 PM

Ok I am REALLY REALLY trying to put 110% into this relationship, for the kids, for my own security and hopefully I will lead by example. I have been dependant on Greg for quite some time now, more so sicne Noah has been sick. I want to do something for him, but Men are not as easy as us gals.

Any ideas? He is not into material things at all. he hates sweets and could really care less what he eats.

Men
What would you want from a gal / no sex please.. you already know that issue.

or what did someone do for you that you really enjoyed?

Or ladies what do you or have you done for your men that made there day?

DA's response reminded me of the old joke where a man says all he wants is a woman who is a mute nymphomaniac who owns a liquor store.

Seriously, I think everyone, both male and female, have a certain 'type' of person they are looking for....even if they can't put it in words. They will not fall in love just because someone treats them good. Treating someone good keeps an already established relationship going....but it won't spark the flame if it's not there.

I just don't know about marriage counselling and all that. All the counselling in the world wouldn't have saved mine because I was done with it....but it seems to work for other people who just have quirks to iron out but really want the thing to work out for the kid's sake or whatever.

You and Greg once had a hot steamy romance going. Lots of stuff has happened since then. You've probably BOTH done things and said things which you wish you could take back....but you can't. You can only BOTH agree that from this day forward....you will begin again.

It won't work with gifts or a great chicken meal....it'll only work if you both agree to go the extra mile because you love each other and your family.

I want someone who knows how to give excellent massages because I so desperatly need one right now.

Star · 11-17-2005, 08:34 AM

gerry always wants me to give him massages problem is that i absolutely hate giving them so he doesn't get those too often.

Well...other than the massage....I'm not sure there IS anything else.

does booze count under food?

aside from booze, sex, food, women and massages, i'm not your normal guy so I can't offer too much advice.

Hmm, what wouldn't I like...

take him to a sports bar to watch the game.
taje him to the game.
make an outing to the...hell i dont know, does he like cars?
but him a lifetime supply of viagara.
movie nights.

im fresh out of ideas that make sense so im going to goto bed. goodnight. oh what the hell its snowing...grr

I don't know what all men like. I wouldn't even want to begin to try and guess.

I will however tell you what I do for MY husband when I want to do something special for him.

I give him a day off. LOL, I know sounds crazy. But I give him a day to himself. he can watch t.v. or play video games or go tinker around the garage just whatever he wants to do. I cook him breakfast, lunch and dinner and his favorite dessert and don't ask him to help with the dishes. I take the dogs out for walks and take the trash out myself. He can go fishing or golfing without having to hurry back. He thinks this is the most amazing thing I can do for him.

You are very cool...that is an amazing thing to give a man and a man should do the same, give you a day off when you need it.

What does a man want from a woman...hmmmm.... aside from the obvious, what I enjoy about a woman is being able to confide in her, to touch her, kiss her...that whole physical contact thing. Men don't really talk to men or have any physical contact (well some men do but that's a whole other subject).

darkangelism · 11-17-2005, 06:05 PM

well giving greg booze is a bad idea. does he have any hobbies that require stuff, like fishing or something,lol.

I'd like a special meal, maybe a date to a movie or something similar.

You must have a special outfit or something that he really likes, why not be wearing it and dressed up/looking good for when he gets home?

Essentially, probe him for a day when he has light duties and no plans after work and set it all up for then. Take away all of his responsibilities as well so you'll be sure to get his full attention.

If he doesn't respond to that, kick him to the curb and come to BC hon.

Stone · 11-18-2005, 11:59 AM

If it we're that easy i'd be in BC in a heartbeat :wink:

Merika · 11-20-2005, 09:38 AM

I like Ayla's idea too. That's a really sweet thing to do for anyone who has to juggle work and home chores.

Luba · 11-20-2005, 10:15 AM

Ater being married so long I think what men want most is not to be nagged and given their own space. After all the talking I used to do, I find that I now want the same thing!

Stone · 11-20-2005, 10:56 AM

We've done REALLY WELL this week. no fighiting for once

We've been sleeping in the same bed, had sex and went out togeather a few times without the kids.

I've kept the house spottless, not nagged, left him love notes, given massages and was VERY VERY nice all week and it paid off.. maby there is hope afterall
