What Women Want

After much Joking with Female and Male Friends on Face book,I have Decided to write this Blog.While Researching this Topic,I found that Women Want Hundreds of Things.So I Narrowed Down our Wants to the very Basics.Let’s Take a Look.Shall We?

1.Cute Shoes and Yummy Chocolates.  Ideas for Romantic Gifts.

2.Pampering.  Princess on a Pedestal Theory.

3.Self-Confidence.  Sexy and Favored by Both Sexes.

4.Chemistry (Attraction).  Makes you do things you wouldn’t tell your Mother. Stimulated by Smells(Scents)and Sounds. “Love Potion #9”,Candles,Music,Accents,etc…

5.Passion and Pleasure.  Enough Fireworks and Sweat that the Neighbors are Sick with Jealousy. Tingles and Toe-Curling.

6.Love (To be Loved or Feel Loved).  Roller Coaster Ride. To be “Swept off your Feet”,To be “Weak in the Knees”.”Falling in Love” is one of Life’s Greatest Pleasures. A person “In Love” may truly see their “Object of Desire”(My Fav.Song) more Beautiful than Everyone else in the World. “Love is Blind”.

7.Romance.  Love Letters,Flowers,Gifts,Moonlight Strolls,Pet Names,Piggyback Rides to Bed,Hand Holding,Hugs and Kisses,Teasing,Cuddling,Pillow Talk,Bubble Baths for 2,Sitting in His Lap,Saying “I Love You”,etc…

8.Adoration (To be Adored).  To Adore Someone means you Overwhelming Positively Respond to that Person. It means you Beam when they Enter the Room.You Smile Involuntarily when you are with them or when you Think of them.

9.Honesty.  Never Lie,Mislead,or Sugar Coat the Truth.Just Tell It Like It Is,Even if it Hurts.

10.Humor.  Enlivens a Relationship better than any other Single Characteristic.Making a Fool of yourself shows you’re Human and makes you Highly Favored.”Sometimes you Feel like a Nut,Sometimes you Don’t”.

11.Communication.  Key to a Healthy and Long Lasting Relationship.Overcomes Obstacles.No Need for Games or Manipulation.Sharing Personal Problems,Concerns,and Feelings is “Relationship Building”.It may sound like Complaining or a Cry for Rescue,but it is Neither.Body Language and Tone of Voice “Speak Volumes”.Tip:Small Pupils alert the other Person you aren’t Really Listening.

12.Safety and Security.  A Hero who is Loyal,Faithful,and a Protector of the Heart.No User and Abuser.

13.Companionship(Sharing Time Together).  Who wants to be Lonely when they are in a Relationship?You can be Lonely when you’re Single.Be “Sought After”  for your Company.If your Company is not Often Desired,find someone else who will give you the Attention you Deserve and Crave.”Plenty of Fish in the Sea”.

14.Partnership.  Someone who will Shoulder Half the Responsibility of whatever Chore or Challenge you are up against.Someone who will “Chip In” and do their Share.

15.Commitment.  Promise of a Future through the “Good Times” and the “Bad Times”.  When the going gets Tough and Rough- For the “Long Haul”.

Although,Women know what they want(The Fairytale)they Feel Men with these Qualities don’t Exist or are All Taken.Women want a Man who is “Crazy about Them”. If you Think you won’t Find 1,Think Again!! Your Prince is out there!!
