What do women think men want?

Jesus, and on top of that, English isn't your first language? Colour me extremely impressed. I know people who write for a living whose spelling and grammar is ten times worse than yours - which is practically perfect, by the way!
I also admire your post about what you want in a woman... it's a very realistic and grounded answer.
Hehe, thank you. I know it's not perfect though, I realise that when I make people proof-read things I write, I still regularly find out about mistakes I make that stem mainly from assuming similarities between French and English, i.e. I recently realised that you couldn't say "a sarcasm", that it's "the" Internet, and on top of that I've never used the word "whom" hehe. But I guess that's good enough for most things hehe. As a matter of fact my written French, which was once even better than my written English is now, has seriously deteriorated due to not ever reading anything in French or writing in French.
And how do I go about finding such a woman now?
Kidding, I know how, I just don't really have the time right now. Actually I should be working as we speak

Decent partners find each other. Or really, they make each other. If youre incompatible, youll irritate the sh!t out of each other and each of your worst characteristics will come to the fore. Like a lazy partner will sometimes drag down a go-getter type. Put an overbearing person with a wallflower, and the quiet one will probably shrink more.I wouldn't worry too much about that, it's on its way out as a word anyway!
As to where you'll find a decent woman... well that's a whole other thread!
With the right person the opposite happens, you become more than what you might have been. If you dont have irritations, hangups and petty resentments with each other, then you are free to discuss stuff more openly, whether its bisexuality or xbox games. Unfortunately because we so often fall for someone without learning how to interact properly with them, you see these out of kilter relationships all the time. We grow in a relationship according to who we are in it with. People are so rarely fully honest with each other you get these situations where relationships get imbalanced and controlling, women nag and men sulk.
And men get confused and have to ask women whats going on in their heads and what they think men want.:)0 -

Words of wisdom, but my problem really is that I don't know anyone, I have strictly no social life in this country, hehe. I think I know what to do to remedy to that situation, unfortunately this isn't my priority, these days I only have time for work, no time to go out and make friends.
This being said, you're right, and I think people need to take the time to really get to know each other before getting into a dysfunctional relationship. Well, not like getting to know each other well will ensure you'll stay away from dysfunctional relationships, but at least you'll go in with a better idea of what awaits you. 0 -

Its about knowing yourself too, knowing where your weaknesses are, and your stronger points. So that you recognise your own behaviour for what it is, when you do it. If you know what your own triggers are, good and bad, you can choose or avoid a partner that will encourage or provoke you. Or if your stuck with the person youve gotThis being said, you're right, and I think people need to take the time to really get to know each other before getting into a dysfunctional relationship. Well, not like getting to know each other well will ensure you'll stay away from dysfunctional relationships, but at least you'll go in with a better idea of what awaits you., at least you can see what it is about you that makes you rankle at them.
And yet, I know all this, and I still fcuk up. Women... :rolleyes:0 -

Tell us more, O Wise One... :pac:
No, seriously, that's spot on! That's what I took out of my last (and only!) long-term relationship - it ended in a shambles, but now I can look back on it and say, there's where that went wrong, that's why, and now I just have to make sure it doesn't happen again.0 -

Shellyboo - you are easily impressed. The mere whiff of a French guy and yer off.
This is the internet. He is probably a two-ton hairy arsed Cavan farmer who won a Blackberry at the ploughing championships.
Dont believe a word

But show me a guy who knows how to use an apostrophe and I am all over that.0 -

Thats pretty Unfair to say the least. Ive had 3 amazeing french Girlfriends well dresssed looked after them selve's and genrally where really cool drank coffee to...
ive lived in france for two years and I found out of the nation's that where in the resort i was in The english where worse... If you've had a bad experence with a french person dont tar them all with the same brush its not far. Only probablem i had with the french was considering they used to make the greatist food in the world there taste has some what lacked in recent time's...
Besides how can you tar a country that has 2 hour lunch brakes and freash crossants everymorning you cant....
its just not possible...0 -

Nah, I know I could but it's just I don't want to start doing stuff like that right now. In a couple of weeks I think I'll have more time to enjoy myself and do stuff like that. But thanks for the advice, I didn't even know about that meet-up.homerun_homer wrote: »I know you're busy with work but why don't you go to the boards singles mingel tomorrow. Go on...

Hahaha, I'm not lying, not that I would know how to prove it though.. crois-moi sur parole?Shellyboo - you are easily impressed. The mere whiff of a French guy and yer off.

Dont believe a word Or look up Michel Rouzic on Google and then add A_SN to the search.
Well that's one thing we have in commonWell, eh, actually I kind of hate French people... just kidding. The only grief I have with the rest of my fellow Frenchmen is that they couldn't make a grammatically correct sentence in English if their life depended on it. Even English teachers there have no clue, they had no clue what I was on when I would omit saying "hundred" in numbers in the hundreds hehe. Like "two eighty? Do you mean 2.80??" lol.Snow-Monkey wrote: »I found out of the nation's that where in the resort i was in The english where worse...
Judging by that sentence that has obviously affected you quite a bit, lol.
On a side note, this forum should have a sticky about the proper use of your/you're, their/they're/there, than/then. And apostrophes. 0 -

To be fair, I'm mostly kidding too. I clearly do not have a vendetta against French people, I've just had the misfortune of meeting some really horrible ones.On a side note, this forum should have a sticky about the proper use of your/you're, their/they're/there, than/then. And apostrophes.
I think we're among a small minority of people who actually give a crap, lol 0 -

When you accuse me of making unfair comments about a group of people, and you have previously made unfair comments about a group of people, that is called hypocrisy. Or, in other words, it's the pot calling the kettle black. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, etc.
We're all guilty of a little prejudiceSnow-Monkey wrote: »ok granted my comment was a little over board but all i ever seem to meet when im out is ignorent stuck there own back side poor excuse's for women... It doesnt promote confidance in irish women.
To quote you, don't tar them all with the same brush.0 -
