Again, your post is over-generalising men in general.. Would you believe it if i tell you that there are normal heterosexual men who:Originally posted by ChristinaTeh:...MC2, you're indeed a wise one....
OKies... apart from sex,
1. no nagging
2. i can go out with my friends for a drink any time
3. i can watch football/TV all day/anytime.
4. i can tinker with my new car/Harley all day
5. no housework
5. when i get home.... well, i'll leave that out..else MC2 will tell me off again..
2) Dont like to drink
3) Dont like to watch soccer or TV for that matter
4) Not interested in the car, treat it like a tool
... Actually Point (1) and (5) is quite valid for a lot of men, but again its not the majority -
So the point is...everyone has their own idea of what they want. But, what's the majority?Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Again, your post is over-generalising men in general.. Would you believe it if i tell you that there are normal heterosexual men who:

its not to satisfy the majority...
I tot the article... is quite interesting cause some guys are interested in such things when they are ready for log term relationships. But perhaps not lah... don't apply to all -
It's definitely interesting for us women to know more abt men species. Different people got their needs and wants. What's impt is to cherish the one beside you. Be happy!!!Originally posted by mistyblue:its not to satisfy the majority...

I don't think so too....Originally posted by theTelepath:you call that normal? -
Point 5. When i get home...i want you to be ready for some ahem! Well i get your point.Originally posted by ChristinaTeh:...MC2, you're indeed a wise one....

I suggest watching 'Something's Gotta Give' to explain what i have typed below.
I'm not wise. Just like everyone here.
However i do not disagree with those point you've mention. It's valid!
Yet couldn't quite agree that those are solely things men wants.
WE could catergorise them into many kinds of men. Traits may intermix and none could be formed as what men wants in general.
Theory
No men will stay the same all their life. They change, for better or worse.
eg. 1 A shy and dense man suffered after a broken relationship because of certain dis-satisfation from his gf. He then realise that he shouldn't stay that way anymore. He slowly realised that there's more he could experience, started going outings and became out spoken and fun. He slowly develop confidence. He intially wanted a marriage lifestyle then changed to a comfortable companionship kind of life.
eg. 2 Fling and seducer who could have sex with almost whoever he wants. His father whom he loved most had an accident and died.
He was grieve striken by the sudden departure of his father. Went into depression until a female nurse showed him light and they got together, he changed from a seducer to a commited and stable man. They got married because he realised the meaning of living and Love.
He wanted sex and pleasure, he became a man who finally found true happiness through dealing with death.
The shy
The wild
The quiet
The out-spoken
The unimpressive
The impressive
The brag
The humble
The sincere
The frickle
The seeker
The wait(er)
The hunter
The prey
The seducer
The victim
The sly
The righteous
The crazy
The proper
The adventurous
The homely
The witty
The dense
The reserved
The sharer
The kind
The selfish
The fun
The dull
The timid
The dare
The charismatic
The loner
The problematic
The problemsolver
The smart
The untidy
The carefree
The calculated
The careless
The cautious
Men could change in any if their personalities due to several reasons.
Time, relationships(friends or home or partners), surroundings, encounters, experience, enlightenment, growth, countries.
Hence the known myth of 'Leopard never changes it's spot' doesn't stand on it's own.
Back to replying your post.
Gadgets and football and soccer are topics that could drive men to stay up all night talking and watching it.
It is something about having the same lingo and easy communication.
Men does not like to try hard to explain themselves, let alone telling long stories.
Sometimes men sees communicating with their partners as stressful thing to do. Hence, they need a drink and fellowship to 'escape' from those tediousness.
Do you know it is possible for friends to sit at the same table and not talk for a full hour yet can feel good!
I'm going to give a ambiguous answer.
Men does know what he wants, but it changes... For good or worse?
Think about it.

When i get home...i want to see FOOD laid out the table, house clean and my slippers are next to my fav. armchair along with the remote.
Nevertheless, I agree with your posting. It says it all.
Well done. -

There's truth only when there's a situation to support it.Originally posted by SnowFlag:It is not a myth. There is truth in that saying.
- My version of 'The leopard never change it's spot' to 'The leopard will not want to change it's spot'
Shall think about it again.

it's scary when a man changes..the change can be so much that it's so hard to accept it. For better or for worse, I would say it's situational.

What do u define by normal? If you refer to abnormal as wierdos and freakos who are outcasts of society then you are so naive in your thinking.Originally posted by theTelepath:you call that normal?
If you refer to abnormal as people who do not wish to conform to society's whims and fads and think and act on their own, then i guess you can call them "abnormal"...
The question I want to ask you is: Why must all guys conform to the stereotypical I watch Football, I drink with my buddies type?
If a guy finds other past times worth pursuing which not many people pursue, is he abnormal and outcasted in society??
If you wish to stereotype guys in general and group all others as normal then be my guest, no one can force you to change your thinking..
But bear in mind that due to the recent influx of *ahems*, our singapore society is gonna be more varied and multi-cultural than ever... when that happens are you still going to stick with the "herd mentality" and ask if thats normal or are you going to adapt?

Your earlier post is well written... *claps claps*Originally posted by M©+square:i am too.
The point is each guy is different la but we all have very simple, basic needs... No need to think so complicated about us... as for the differences in the other things thats up to you ladies to discover, isn't that part of the fun in a relationship ? -
Ahem!!! *Cough*...the cheque for the *cough*...publicity has been sent.Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Your earlier post is well written... *claps claps*

Guy are simpler. Because they are easier to read. -
Applies to Women too.Originally posted by browniebaobao:it's scary when a man changes..the change can be so much that it's so hard to accept it. For better or for worse, I would say it's situational.
Situational...as explained in my earlier post.

When I club, I love to dance and I drink water. I'd rather watch grass grow and paint dry than suffer a soccer match on TV. I dont smoke or gamble..but boy do i ever ..ahem...screw around. Hahaha.
What influx of "ahem?" You mean Gay people? that's cool. Now we can all have our own personal fabulous five. -
ok. i am married and the reason i married my wife is because: (gals. take a good look why a guy may wanna marry u. guys u too may wanna see why a gal may wanna marry u)
1) we have 2 way communication. we always sit down and discuss things. we debate things out open-mindedly and learn to comprimise.
2) we understand each other's strong and week point. so we always help out each other in that area.
3) we trust each other. she can go out with her frens (gal or guy) and i can go out with my frens (gal or guy)
4) we respect each other (i won froce her to do things she don like and she does the same to me.)
5) both of us are not stuck up. we mix very well with each other's friends
6) great sex. we like doing it with each other. -
what do all men want? power.

His colleagues drove him up the wall talking about football and cars ... endlessly. They think he's weird not to like the typical things they like..
I just find it all so funny.
