I hear it all the time from my male friends, “what do women want?” I must say as a woman I need a strong man in my life (I do my hubby is wonderful but as in all relationships there are times that are trying LOL) someone who takes a stand, makes decisions and takes part of the burden off of me! I don’t like having to make all the decisions even the small ones like “what’s for dinner, or were do you want to eat” or even the hard part having to pay the bills and be the mastermind behind which bills get paid now and which ones can wait till next payday without a late charge?
Being a mom to 3 boys, two who are autistic, and having my father in law live live with us not to mention running 3 of my own businesses and clients websites when it comes time for me to relax I don’t want to make all the decisions myself on how to run the family and our life. I want to have a man who participates, again my hubby is wonderful most of the time in that department. I hear it from my female friends both online and offline about how they are “strong woman” but don’t want to be the one who “wears the pants” in the family….I think if every woman really looked deep down in themselves they will all say the same thing, we like to feel protected, we like to feel loved and for us loving doesn’t just mean in the bedroom…love is having a man show us they love us by participating in our lives and taking control.
I know there are times I pick a fight with my husband just to get a response or to have him tell me “Hey enough, you are out of control” I need that once in awhile, now ladies if you are reading this I am only talking about myself, not generalizing every woman on earth.
Today’s interview with Elliott Katz was a very enlightening one for myself. I like when I can hear the “other side of the story” I don’t always know what my husband is thinking as I am sure he feels the same way I do about myself.

Rebbekah you sure seem like a strong woman who knows what she wants indeed. It would be nice if women actually did take the time to figure out what they want. Most women say the want a smart, sensitive, loving, caring, mooshy gooshy man, but then end up marrying Johnny Rotten. No wonder most men don’t have a clue what women want, they often don’t. The point being that I think Rebbekah is right. Men need to be in charge, make decisions, and be the leader in the family, not be all girly and sensitive. How can women respect a man that does not prove himself a leader of the family?
Chris, thank you for posting your comments here. I feel that it is a two way street to be sure. A woman needs to know what she wants in a man and really know what she wants and I do know that a man does need to be both strong yet sensitive. After 18 yrs of marriage I know there are times I make my husband crazy with what I want, because sometimes I don’t know what I want other than someone to listen to me and give me their opinion without feeling like they have to tip toe around me. I also like having my husband be loving yet strong. I hate making all the decisions I would rather we both make them. However most of the time it is me who makes the decisions, I am finding out from watching other men in my life and knowing how they were raised many of their reactions to women come from how they were raised by their mothers.
Its hard for me as well as sometimes I want a sensitive man and other times I want a man who will say “enough is enough this is what is going to happen” know what I mean, yet still me a two way street where we talk things out.
I do know what I want is usually just the timing of what I want and I think that is the way it is with most woman, unfortunately that leaves the poor men in our lives always guessing as to what we want. Thanks again for your comment Chris.

I agree this seems to be what women really want. Most men get the wrong idea when a woman says she wants a sensitive man. I’m a living example. They think sensitive means spineless and sissy. But I’ve come to know that women want a man that shows his feelings but knows when to be strong and when feeling down will not serve his family or him. I don’t have a family. I’m young (20) but I’m glad I’m figuring this out soon because my dad didn’t teach me how to be a man as a child.
