What Men Want

[ Blogadda contest entry for - What men want . Perhaps where my thoughts come from may not be clear to the reader. Perhaps the song at the end of my post would elaborate in some way. Perhaps... ]


Tiny little boxes; the last place, I would dare trying to fit a man into. As far as my experience goes, men don't like hearing others speak from a boom box, explaining what it is that THEY want. After all, men want what they want, and all men -just like women- are different. We can joke about it from this perspective, or steam about it from another, but no two ideas - or more- can ever do justice to the elusive question of ''what men want'', just as none can carve into stone what women do.
She asked her father, ''Daddy, what will I be?''
Daddy said, ''Princess, whatever you wish, you'll see!''

She said to her father, ''Daddy, please don't, it hurts and I'm scared!''
Daddy said, ''Shut up! Or I'll have you do more!''

The above situations (and let's call the last one -insinuation-); both realities, but with an array of spectrums in between. While one man wanted nothing but happiness in the life of his daughter, the other abused it for his selfish needs and reasons.

What a man wants, could be just as giving or selfish as what a woman wants. At the end of the day, it all boils down to the personalities of both; whether they come from a moralistic high ground, or a morally devoid one. I could list pages of things, but that would still fall short in the case of one man, or the other, and yet another, followed by some more. One tag simply does not fit all, is all I have to say.

I could say, 'what a man wants' is to...

- be a man
- be a son
- be a successful human being
- be an inspiration
- be a good friend
- be a brother, a husband, a father
- be a leader, a provider, a caretaker
- be taken care of yet be strong
- be sensitive yet be solid
- be the rock for those in his life, no matter of what essence, role or gender
- be THE MAN of all men.

I could say one thing, then I could say a hundred more, and I'd still have not gotten it right. For, there really isn't one little box in which all the men out there can be placed into, what with their varied wants and history's that stand witness to where they come from, making their actions their talisman.

What Women Want

A post written for the current BlogAdda contest... http://blog.blogadda.com/2010/06/23/what-women-want-indian-bloggers-share

What women want is to not be invisible in the lives of those who matter to them. They wish to be seen, heard, felt, appreciated, respected, protected...

What's important before knowing about 'what a woman wants', is to find out what part of her life is she at in that moment of time, to gauge her state of need, and there in find clues to her 'want'.

A Woman...

- to her father wants to be seen no less than a son; who can help him when age/life catches up with him, and he needs a younger helping hand.

- to her mother wants to be all that her mother was to her, and then some more, to make up for what she could not be.

- to her brother wants to be a partner in crime, no less than any other tough cookie out there.

- to her sister wants to be everything soft, strong, respectable, dependable and the best secret keeper ever.

- to her husband wants to be the other half that makes up for all that he lacks, while hoping he too completes her missing parts to make their union of souls fit just right.

- to her children wants to be the safest place to fall back on.

- to the world wishes to be seen as just another able body that exists, instead of having to compete beside a male counterpart in order to prove her worth and then some.

A woman is the other end of the spectrum of a man. She wants to be seen as nothing less, nothing more, and yet, as everything.

A woman wants what her life demands of her at the time, irrespective of exceptions that exist to the rule - just like exceptions exist for all rules!

A woman wants the unnecessary, the ridiculous, the oh my god are u kidding me, and everything or anything else whack, when she is PMS-ing [trust me, she confuses her own self even, in this state].

A woman wants, just like any other human being out there, to find peace, happiness and contentment while she walks this road called 'Life', alongside her myriad of relationships abound.
