"Don't ever try to understan a woman son." I think those were my dad's first words to me. Not "work hard" or "your word is your bond" or any of the other things that he did get around to telling me. So why was this so high up on his list? Because as most men will tell you it is IMPOSSIBLE to understand women. But as most of you guys know I am just arrogant enough to believe that I can be the first man to accomplish this once unreachable goal.
This whole thing can be tricky. "What do women want" is actually a trick question because 99.9% of the time they are just as confused about what they want as you are. The thing about women is they can mask their confusion better than most men. Tricking us into believing that they are in complete control when in reality they are just as lost as Mary Ann and Ginger.
Women WANT to be led. They crave a leader simply because that's how they were created. The most intelligent and accomplished woman still wants a man in her life to tell her what to do and help guide her in life. We've all heard 'Why do good girls like bad guys' question. There have been songs and shows focuse solely on this question. Well the answer is most "bad boys" are perceived to leaders. They do what they want and say what they want and women can't get enough of them.
So what about gay women, you say? Good question. In most cases that I have observed there is a clear case of one of the women acting more masculine than the other. In a lot of the cases I see in and around D.C. the masculine female dresses and acts just like a dude. So in those cases the other female still gets what she wants in terms of a domineering partner. This is off subject but if you want a female that wears big clothes, a doo rag and watches sports then why not just date a guy? Is a woman's licky licky that much better than a man? Beats me but let's press on shall we?
I have a friend and for the sake of the story we will call him T. T is the nicest guy in the world, a complete gentleman. Women love to be around him because they feel they can talk to him about anything. If they need something he's there in an instant. The problem for my man T is that while he's doing all these things he's hoping that one day these girls are going to...ahem..."want him". It pains me to see him do these thing because it just ain't gonna happen. Women don't want a guy who never argues with them and can always be found. They want to worry about where he's at and if he might be with another chick. They want to be ignored on occasion. I know it sounds crazy and a lot of women might disagree but deep down they know it's true. Nice guys are boring.
So for part 1 of your lesson fellas just be a total and complete jerk sometime. If you are just naturally a nice guy this might be hard but you've got to do it for the sake of your relationship. Because she's going to end up with some dude who hasn't had a job in 2 years, lives with his mama, and who still believes he's going to the NBA, NFL, or be the next great rapper. You'll be totally confused by this and sure she'll complain about him to anybody who'll listen. She might even call you because "you're such a good listener" but she's not going anywhere because that's what women want.

Spex how did I know that you would be commenting on that part?! Thanks for your input.
But don't you think that there are a lot more gay and lesbian people than there were in the past? I think that some of them may be choosing a lifestyle based on bad relationships with the opposite sex. Anyway I guess that's another blog. I'll be in class at some poit today so look out for me!
Go on wit the breakdown!!!! i feel ya on that!!! however I am strictly dickly (lol) so I can't touco n the gay part :)
Hmmm...very good comment Jackie. I think you are confirming what I said though. Nice guys need to be a litte "bad" smetimes and you have your happy medium. Am I wrong?
LOL @ Danielle. How did I know you were going to say that?!
"You are what you attract". Agreed but women are full of drama so they need a certain amount of drama in their lives to feel alive.
Stac I think that's a good way to put it.
Wow Jackie I think that's a great point. There is a difference between Mature people and immature people.
LOL..Jackie if I had a dime for every time I've heard someone say that I could pay someone to blog for me...
No of course I wasn't being sarcastic! :)
"What do women want?" can never be answered, because all women are different, and some women have manly traits due to the levels of testosterone in their body, therefore they are not 100% female in their feelings, attitudes, personality or whatever. Nobody can ever fully 'understand' anybody else, as, the only way to do that would be to be the person themselves. There is no ethical and legally right way to actually get right inside the mind of a person, and even if we could, our view of what they wanted would be skewed by our own attitudes and interpretations. Therefore, what women, or men, for that matter, want, can never, and I save Never, be answered. We may be able to get a glimpse of what they want, or an idea, but what a person wants only that person knows. And yes, as you said correctly, half the time we don't know what we want ourselves.
Good post :) Not been in a while, got lots to catch up on, will be back later.
Hey wazup Asi! We missed you around here. Great comment. It sounds like you've put some serious thought into this.
ddot, your responses sound somewhat removed today. Are you working or something?
You know there is some truth to what you say. It's different for EVERY person, though.
I think that a lot of our desires and expectations for the men in our lives come from what we know...who we grew up around. Example: "My big brothers" (my older male cousins and my mom's youngest brother) have always looked out for me, even though they have their "thuggish" and trifling ways.
I'm often attracted to guys just like them. I feel safe and cared for, but I have to deal with drama. I know that it's just no good to be in a situation like that, and I have avoided getting too involved with this type of guy as much as possible, but I still can't help but do a double take at the brother that has a certain swagger...still can't help but to entertain the idea of a relationship with him.
LOL @ George...yeah I'm a little busy today but I guess I'm losing my blogging fire right now. but I'm sure it'll be back soon...
Thank you BrownSoul that is exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks for being straight up!
lol.... okay, where is your Queen can she testify to that? So you've read a couple of "Essence" magazines and think you have us all figured out. hmmph. What is the definition of a bad guy? Please clarify
GP I thought you wanted to be the Queen!! LOL J/K
What is a bad guy? Aaron.
Too funny. But for real. What is your definition of a bad guy? Generally, I like nice guys........ I don't feel up to writing, but I really have so much to say about your post.lol
A bad boy is someone who doesn't treat you with respect unless he wants something. There are more characteristics but i don't feel like writing either.
I just read your post. What's going on with you GP???...
Don't ask me. I am going through a phase or transition. I don't know. I need to get it together before it is too late. That is for certain.
Before it's too late for what GP? I hope you get it together too. Did you see my comment on your blog?
yeah, skinny pimp I saw it.
Skinny Pimp?! Earlier today I was called "Dirty" and now this. You people and your regional dialects! I guess i can start calling yall "Young" and "Slim"!
Still: it is so deep girl. I could only go into half of it. But yeah I have been doing things that I can't tell no one; but complete strangers.
Hmmm very interesting GP. After reading your blog again I think the religion piece might drop tomorrow.
im out. have a good night!
Looks like I'm the only female commenting this time that would just as soon slap your ass. Don't get me wrong, I love ya, but you surely wanna keep your distance from me on this one. I'm hoping your kidding about a woman wanting someone who will lie and disrespect her AND tell her what to do. Kick that man's butt to the curb! I've been married 20 years (yeah, 20!) and we depend on each other, trust each other and always laugh together. I put 'bad boys' behind me when I decided to 'grow up'. And, you know, you could turn that around to how some men tend to throw away a great thing for a 'bad girl'. Goes both ways, darlin.
HUG'S :)
