There has been a prevalence of topics in regards to relationships between man and woman at one level or the other within the bloggosphere. Now, me being a “nuffy” i just had to get in my two pence too.
My question is, what is it men want in/from a woman? Most women would want to believe they got it down pat. And on this basis an overload of caution is their response to the passionate advances of us men. Thus the “hunt” was created, to which most men find themselves totally enthralled, out of which emerges the never ending cycle.
Of course men have been blamed for creating this circular game of chasing the “woman frock tail”, but is this really so, has my blog peep fiyah examined in his article Rejectionist, is it that women just like being chased, though they’ll claim that it is us men who can’t deal with the “aggression”, thus feeling threatened.
Nature has made it inherent in us as men to go out there and seek our companion, also women are to pick and choose from those suitors that present themselves. The law of nature … don’t fight it. So there is no need to point fingers, we are just responding to the biological mechanism, that helps to define us as men and women.
What, however, we have control over are the choices we make in the type of partners that we choose or the attributes that we find endearing. Though i think i have a fairly competent idea of what it is women in general want in/from a man, i will refrain from commenting on this topic area, because i am quite sure i am not qualified to make those distinctions.
Through out the life span of a man typically we will experience different stages of desires at different phase levels. These phases thus defines what we hope for from a woman.
The phases are as folows and note they are suppose to follow a chronological order:
- The need to get experienced and just wet your dick as often as possible. Thus the game of chase begins, and substance within is of limited meaning. Teenage
- Defining the substance within (both ourselves and the woman) and learning the art of love making, graduating from just dick wetting. Teenage - mid 20s
- Identifying substantive attributes we desire and trying to get them compatible with that physique we long for. mid 20s – 30s
- Being involved in a meaningful realtionship 30s -
- Recognising that a void exist and the need to fill that void
- Settling down with an end of days mate.
Each one of the these phases are are handled differently by each individual, though there can be collectiveness based on how the man socialise. Unfortunately too is that some men tend to be in a loop for one reason or the other in a particular phase or was just not socialised in a way which allowed them or encouraged them to have the confidence necessary to be able to have gone through the phases. Which can be a real “bitch” on the women.
Each phase carries with it, general desires, that i will explore in a future post. Hope i was able to clear up a few misconceptions
Unfortunately some of us men (would like to think it is a very very few) never even made it to phase one as this likkle chuckle will exemplify
Doctor Dave had slept with one of his patients and felt guilty all day long.
No matter how much he tried to forget about it, he couldn’t.
The guilt and sense of betrayal was overwhelming. But every once in a while he’d hear an internal, reassuring voice in his head that said:
”Dave, don’t worry about it. You aren’t the first medical practitioner to sleep with one of their patients and you won’t be the last. And you’re single. Just let it go.
” But invariably another voice in his head would bring him back to reality, whispering: Dave……………>>> Dave…………….>>> Dave…………….>>>>>>>
You’re a vet!!!!
the theme song for the post is :


playing with fire man, playing with fire
Such a pity you didn’t get into what it is that you thought we want in a man. I would be very interested in that.
I think CP may be right and those phases you described looks very plausible too. I just hope I get lucky!
Bobby u really think men dont know what they searching for? Well in all honesty both men and women sometimes just go thru life and “buck up” dem ideal partner, so in a way u have a point.
@ hsiK: men don’t know what the hell they searching for, themselves sometimes.
@ Cp, Dutch, Gish, Mar: as i said, even though i have a clue what you guys want .. i am DEFINITELY NOT QUALIFIED… to say and y’all just proved my point.
@ Fiyah: Fiyah yuh nuh hear mi say mi not qualified… but i never scured so i will take up your challenge… (lawd mi dead now)
@MB think yuh dash mi whey always look forward to your insightful comments… ok you got a point there the restart variable ….yes it does occur but i pin it to confidence …or it might just be an attempt to complete phase 5. The causal factor is the need to respond to the subtotal of what you have become. Sometimes (hopefully most of the time) the spouse will be insync with their partner and the void is filled in the exsiting relationship, how ever when this is not so.The n outside becomes the source of filling the void. “Hey thats what i think
@ Shonari: Boss even you kow that nothing exist in absolute, unless it is a scientific fact, so there will be the odd ones … in other words i guarantee you that few are the men or the teens who meet those conditions you highlighted. And boss i think you are on to something with the curve but it needs some fine tuning want me to fine tune it for ya…..
There are no stages…there is just now and what you want. I know teens who want something stable. Mid 30’s men who still wanna be single. The love/beauty curve explains it all
Bobby : You left out the fact that MANY men (and women too, I guess…) seek to restart the cycle in middleage. They either restart in the high school stage, running down anything in skirt, or they start back in mid 20’s, in an new long term relationship. Notice my point in brackets, the question is, who causes this cycle restart, men or women? Hmmm?
Hey Bobby… you should do a post on what women want from men. I may do one soon. We could compare notes
Yup. I am inclined to agree with CP’s theory on the list. Which is why whenever someone asks me what I am looking for I tell them “I have no raas idea!”
Everybody agreeing with CP on this one……her last comment about lists flying out the window if you meet Mr. Right is so true……
Am with Cranky, considering am mid 20s – 30s
Cranky…I want think you right still.
lol…that was funny….
I am starting to believe in destiny and all that stuff.
I know lots of great men and women, who have gone through the phases you described, some get lucky and meet some they are compatible with and others get to spend time with those that don’t work out. There’s luck involved in finding the right person, and hardwork involved in keeping them there forever.
As for traits and looks that women want in a man? A girl can make a list as long as ever, but when it comes down to it, if she meets the right guy, all those I wants and dont wants fly right out of the window.
i believe there are more stages though, sstage one is definately high school thingy…u know the teenage years, but i agree after a few years of wetting dicks and all reality will sink and u will indeed want someone u can relate to on a mature level, someone that will make u smile at all time even after years together.
I believe men search for more that what women do search for, i think women seach more for financial stability more than anything else.
GC you click on click and then contiue reading mmmm? maybe i need to fix it differently …..
In regards to phase one normally that should be our teenage stage.
I don’t get the joke at the end.
please explain it.
men and women are so different.
sometimes it doesn’t even seem worth the try.
And pity the women these guys in phase 1 are practicing on.
