What women want::::::::::

I asked my *friend*, what is it that women want?

she said:
"...it all depends on the woman. ...One common need/desire [is] to feel secure. Security covers a lot of things..."


I am not satisfied with this answer!!! It's time for the WOMEN to speak up!!!!!

I think a lot of young women in the church become what they think the guy wants. That really irritates me. How can we accept her for who she is, if she's not herself?? Make sense?

Yes, I know what you mean and girls don't get it.

The old saying:
Women marry hoping to change their husband and men marry hoping their wife stays the same.

All that can come from both sides of the fence too.

I remember teaching a SS Class one and were speaking of modest apparel and the girls were mostly in on the conversation but the guys had their little "that's right" comments along the way.

When we were nearing the end I turned to the guys and said "And don't let me catch you guys oogling over women in clothes that you just agreed that these ladies don't need to be wearing. What kind of a mixed signal does it send when we tell our girls that we shouldn't wear this or shouldn't wear that and then our guys go all nuts when someone else comes along wearing the same thing. Whatever you feel should be worn in modesty is the same standard that you should set for what you look for and show approval to. Anything else is confusing and disingenuous."

Well, I'm real after a few meetings. Shy at first. But, I'm really growing out of that, thank the Lord!

I apologize if it was taken as such...

The post was about how our attitudes can cause the very issues you were speaking of.
