why is it that...
 

...when a woman describes her ideal man, she describes another woman?

Re: why is it that...
 

Because she is gay?

good grief dude...

Re: why is it that...
 

Oh come on Hoovie, get in touch with your feminine side. :D

Re: why is it that...
 

My description of my ideal man is definitely not describing another woman. Your generalization is over-general.

Re: why is it that...
 

Ok, I'll try again.


She may express a desire for soft touch and an emotional connection most often attributed to femininity... true. However, when a man is in love his tenderness comes out and he can and does show these attributes for those close to his heart.

Beyond the romantic, a man provides other, perhaps even more crucial elements to the sociological equation...

Security, stability, structure and nest for the females's future offspring.

A woman generally wants and needs these in a big way, regardless of whether she is able to vocalize the same in a ten second sound bite.

Always been puzzling to me that a woman turns gay, often detests men, and subsequently finds a partner that in most every way simulates the male species. Strange.

O.o

Is this why guys like watching women mud wrestle?

Looks like someone needs to drag them to the car wash.

Re: why is it that...
 

This one gets me too. In all, yes I said all, homosexual couples I have been around, there has always been an obvious "male" dominant role in one of them and female in the other.

To answer the original thread question. Because only another woman can know what a woman is thinking. Which is what we men get told we should know in the first place. Hence the common comeback; "If you were a woman you would understand". :heeheehee

Re: why is it that...
 

Because shes unstable and thinks if her man will listen then she can save on shrink bills?

Re: why is it that...
 

Having heard a more than a few women describe what they want from their husbands, they often expect that a man will be able to react like her lady friends (listen, talk, sympathize). Most of the modern women do not seem to realize the guys are not girls. We as a rule tune out after 5 minutes of hearing the same thing for the 75th time. We expect that if asked whether something looks good, the word "fine" will be sufficient to convey our approval, we do not gush. There are many other examples, but they are too many to name.

Re: why is it that...
 

True, men have to work at being attentive to a woman's need to converse beyond a five min summation.

On it's face that may appear problematic, but it's because we are wired different and are more focused on bringing other (as I pointed to in the previous post) equally important elements into the relationship.

The difference provides God's intended balance for a healthy environment.

Re: why is it that...
 

Indeed.

With men we desire to seek and find a solution.

With women finding a solution often isn't as important as talking about it.

In life men seek to accomplish an end. Women enjoy the journey. That is why men go in a store... get what they want... and leave. Women shop for hours (as a general statement) and hate to see the end come.

Why is it that.....

When I was a kid, sodas cost about a quarter and were dispensed at about eye level in a soda machine. In my 30's, sodas were dispensed in about the mid part of the machine, and costs about 75 cents. Now in my 50's, I find that sodas cost over a dollar and are dispensed at the very bottom of the machine! By the time I am 65, I predict sodas will cost 3.00 or more, and will be dispensed from under the machine!

Cars are getting lower, making it almost impossible to get out of them and trucks are getting higher, making it nearly impossible to get into them.

The description of my ideal man wouldn't describe another woman at all.

Re: why is it that...
 

There ya have it. Rg You must be a man!!! Lol!

Re: why is it that...
 

I have heard guys do the same thing though when talking about women.

What? They describe another man? Who do you hang around?

Re: why is it that...
 

:spit


I can not believe that you said that. Where in the world did that come from? I am shocked! I almost can not stop laughing.

I meant that I have heard men wish that women were more logical, less emotional, would except their solutions, not talk so much, not need to shop so often, not get lost in the store while shopping, enjoy more guy activities. Essentially, they would like to have a permanent buddy, but that is not the purpose of a wife.

Re: why is it that...
 

My neighbor right across from me is in his 80's, and up untill a few weeks back, his wife turkey hunted with him every single year for the last 16 years straight. He recently had to put her in a nursing home due to alzeimers. So sad. Fantastic couple with a fantastic relationship, he goes to see her daily.

Hell would freeze over b4 my wife hunted with me tho, but I like it that way. lol.
Each to their own...

Re: why is it that...
 

I wonder what caused her to take up hunting so late in life. I am always thrilled to my very deepest heart whenever I see an older couple, who have many years of marriage behind them, still very deeply in love. Your story came close to breaking my heart.

Re: why is it that...
 

Just 16 were straight years in a row, more preceded...
I actually could tell u more, like their summer every Saturday fishing trips to the pay pond together and such....but if I layed it all out, ending it with the alzeimers, we might all break down...

:tissue

Re: why is it that...
 

Bingo

Re: why is it that...
 

There is a bit of truth to that. Guys who like hunting, fast cars, camping, all sorts of adventure activities usually want a woman who enjoys the same things.
