What women want?

By Adam Mordo

This is going to sound like a rant because for the most part, it is. For all the advances that womankind has made, it boggles the mind why a lot of women still fail terribly when it comes to getting what they really want from romantic relationships.

Here’s why, women seem to have difficulty expressing what they truly desire. Let me give you an example. Women much too often say that what they really want is a smart guy with a good sense of humor. I call shenanigans! If that is true, how come I see way too many intelligent and funny guys regularly getting express tickets to the friend zone? If that is true, then why didn’t I get laid more when I was single?

The thing is, women want a smart and funny guy with Clooney’s charm and Brad Pitt’s abs, not just an intelligent fat guy who can make them laugh. I don’t really mind that women judge us men based on our looks. Heck, we do that to them all the time. What really gets my goat is “why aren’t more women upfront about it?” If someone told me before that I can’t get by on just being nice and smart and funny, then maybe I would have spent more time at the gym. It would have made my college years a bit more interesting at least. 

Then of course, once we do find ourselves in a relationship, women will actually go out of their way NOT to tell us what they want. It’s as if they are convinced that if we truly share a deep emotional connection, then we should be able to peer magically into their minds! They make us guess! They drop hints and clues along the way hoping we will piece it together. Guess what ladies, most of the time, we won’t! When we ask you your preference about anything, we expect an actual answer. If you say, “it’s up to you” then you can be certain that we will go out with the boys, we will choose that action film over some mushy chick flick, and yes we will try to bring in another girl for a threesome. Women please stop testing your men! The fact that we asked should be assurance enough. It’s not all your fault really. Us guys are simple-minded creatures. Yes. We are dense. We make no pretenses to be otherwise. So tell us what you want. You might be pleasantly surprised just how willing we’ll be to oblige.
