What Do Women Want???

Really! What DO women want? Isn't this one of the most challenging questions of all time? We thought "what men want" was difficult, but this is even harder.

The epic struggle of mankind to figure out the inner workings of women is ages old. Even Sigmund Freud, the master of modern psychology, died trying to figure out women. It isn't easy.

I had a friend once joke with me that "men mostly want sex, woman want the right to be hypocritical, yet call men on their inconsistencies." Yikes. No wonder men and women have struggles getting along!

One reason why understanding women isn't such an easy thing is because the ways women process thoughts and emotions are drastically different than their male counterparts' ways of processing.

Key difference between men and women: I've reviewed many studies that indicate women use emotion to process thought as their basis for decision making 30% more than men do.* As such, women are also known for being more intuitive than men. This is not exactly true, as men use intuition in different ways, and have different ways of communicating. Nevertheless, men tend to bond through shared activities, whereas women bond through sharing thoughts and feelings.

Now, men, before you freak out, this article isn't about "what men want women to want" but more rather what women actually want from men. I've noticed that a woman will want to tell every little nuance of a story, where their male counterpart might be feeling like, "ok, what's the point?" A man typically seeks a solution to the problem, as if the story was a problem. Or, he's looking for a way to suggest something to help his woman improve, which is based upon competitive thinking (how men relate in conversation is much more competitive). In fact, a woman often is just relating this story to SHARE with him; there isn't anything competitive about it.

So what do women really want from their man?

The top 6 things women want FROM MEN, in order, are:
1. Women want men who exhibit confidence (or power)
2. Women want men with a sense of humor (fun)
3. Women want men with money or the things money can buy (sense of security)
4. Women want men with looks (protection and attraction)
5. Women want men with a bit of "Bad boy" qualities (mysterious and independent/strong)
6. Women want all the other stuff they typically list (varies - sensitive, caring, etc.)

Hhhhmmmmm...now i think i know ..what i want...heheheh

In My Mind...

I've been uneasy lately. That's the best way I can explain it. You know that feeling when you have something really really important simmering in the back your mind which keeps you from living in the moment? I feel like that. I keep feeling that I'm supposed to be doing something I'm not. That I'm missing something... but I just can't seem to figure out what is it. It's been like that for so long now. I can't concentrate, I can't think straight....I can't do anything without having that horrible nagging feeling tugging at me, telling me that there's something more important that I need to take of. And no matter how deeply or fiercely I immerse myself in my thoughts, that feeling just doesn't seem to surface. I've been drowning, slowly but surely....I've been sinking deeper and deeper without even knowing it....until now.It came to me in the same way as most of my epiphanies do, while I was in the shower, in the middle of the night. I realized that I couldn't remember the last time I did something for someone without having them know it. I've helped people when they asked me and I've been nice without being asked. But I used to be the kind of person who enjoyed doing things that would make someone's life a little easier...anonymously. It wasn't just a side character trait, but a central part of the person I was. Where did it go? When did I lose it and why wasn't I aware of that? In other words, what the hell happened to me?It's shameful to wake up and realize that you've changed for the worse. It's even more scary to know that you weren't even aware of the change when it happened. But that doesn't really matter. What matters is that now that I know about it, I can do something to rectify that. I'm so thankful that I caught this thing sooner than later. So starting from now, I'm going to ...... and try to save myself before it's too late.

Break The Breakfast !!

I'm sure you’re already aware of all the perks a healthy breakfast can offer. So there's probably no need to for me to go on and on about how a morning meal can get your metabolism going, how it gives you an energy-boost or how breakfast eaters are often slimmer than breakfast skippers.Instead, I'd like to share a few of my favorite breakfast options with you.Pour a bowl. If you’re still eating the low fiber cereals you ate as a kid, it’s time to graduate to whole grain, high fiber types. Many are great-tasting, or, you can use my trick of mixing cereals to give my bowl a variety of tastes and textures. Want to add even more flavor? Try topping your bowl with fruit and/or a tablespoon or two of nuts.Get cooking. Whip up some oatmeal made with skim or one percent milk or calcium-rich soy milk. I love McCann's Irish oatmeal; it has a rougher texture and takes longer to cook than standard oatmeal, but it's worth it.Satisfy your fruit fix. Start your day with half of a grapefruit to knock off one of your daily fruit servings. Add a slice or two of whole grain toast or an English muffin topped with some peanut butter or another nut butter, or even soy butter. Round out your meal with a glass of nonfat or one percent milk.Sip your meal. Smoothies are a great option because there are so many different ingredients you can use. And don't be afraid to experiment. Combine your favorite fruit with ½ cup skim milk or calcium-enriched soymilk, ½ cup low-fat yogurt and some wheat germ or ground flaxseed.
