What Women Want

To all the women out there - I understand.

All we really want is to feel desired, loved and good enough. We want to know that there is someone out there who loves us despite our flaws, who understands that we will have days when we feel awful and will have no idea why, that we always need a hug, that we appreciate the little things in life much more than grandiosity, that a note saying 'I love you' left under our pillow will make us smile all day.

Women love to feel loved and we love to be heard. Instead of talking about what happened at work, we would rather talk about how we FELT during the day - what made us FEEL good and what made us FEEL bad. And when we talk about this kind of thing, all we ask is that someone listens and cares enough to ask about us and that someone will remember what we say.

We want to feel good enough - for our men, for our parents, for our children. We want to know we are doing a good job and we would like someone to say so. We would never expect thanks, but getting it makes everything we do feel that much more worth while. We are soft, gentle and emotional people who strive to make those around us feel good, even to the detriment of ourselves. We are selfless and open hearted.

As women, we want very little and are willing to give so much, so to all the women out there - well done, you are too perfect and wonderful.

And to all the men out there - thank you for being there for us, thank you for the hugs and the flowers, thank you for taking time out to listen - you make us want to be better people.
