Relationships - What do men actually want?

London

Been told by two different people within two days the reason I'm single isn't because of my size, but that I'm too confident and honest. Apparently I shouldn't be so open about myself, that men want mystery and they're scared by my unconventional lifestyle.

Do men want to fuck women like me but date cute, passive, flowery girls to settle down with?

honesty = good

confidence = good

size = good

unconventional = good

mysterious, passive, flowery = BAD.

Me thinks the men who told you that are fannies

I love confident and independant woman, I am really attracted by those type of women.

Don't mind fucking them or dating them.

But some women give me the fear as they look like they hate men so I wouldn't even fuck them with Tame's dick.

Firstly everyone is different and that goes for both men & women.

Secondly, the right guy just hasn't turned up yet. When he does you'll know

You are single because you chose not to accept mediocrity. Nothing wrong with that.

I think some men do. I don't want a man like that and a man like that doesn't want me.

It's difficult to say what men want from a relationship because like us they're all different and due to the nature of this site nearly all the answers you're going get here will be saying that independent, strong and open women are what they want. I do think many men perpetuate the myth of mysterious femininity simply because they can't be bothered to try and understand the woman in their life or what motivates her.

I’m very open about the way I am and M wouldn’t have me any other way. He prefers it (due to many reasons. Some good some bad) and if I’m stuck in a bad way, he helps me out. Plus, I’ve slept with a lot of men (not bragging because it’s not a good thing in my eyes. Bad time in my life) and I would have rather him know about it than he come on here and find out about it and get very upset.

Unless you absolutely have to, I think you're best off not getting too heavy on a first date. One date I went on laid some heavy shit on me on the first date. Without knowing the person or having any emotional engagement yet it was really easy to walk away. I'm simply not in a good enough place in my life to be able to deal with what that stranger was asking of me. Had she not been a stranger... had I got to know her a little more and began to feel something for her... would that have made my choice more difficult? Definitely. But in her case it was such a big issue that I'm glad she warned me off. But one wonders what kind of Saint she's looking for who would knowingly get involved with a stranger in such a position.

In your case op your "baggage" doesn't seem so vital and necessary to lead with. So maybe leave it until a second or third date. Dunno Good luck

I’ve often thought this, I feel like men are intimidated by my confidence and that I work in a male dominated profession and can talk man stuff (not the offside rule!) there is a lot of truth in the Madonna whore complex it’s embedded in societal beliefs but not all men are the same and for every man turned off there’s another that will be turned on by it, it’s gotta happen sooner or later ! ( I keep telling myself this)

I believe that what men want is broadly the same as what women want. They want what is right for them. Ultimately we are all different any what is right for one isn't the same as for the next bloke.

Also... sometimes you don't even know what you want until they come along and blow your mind.

But then some people quite like to jump straight into the guts of someone. See what you're dealing with straight away. I feel I can get a bit too carried away finding out about someone initially but I know I will really get on with someone who is pretty open from the get go. Perhaps not a first date mind, but within a few messages I may be squirming around in your brain a bit

Much as I like the idea of you squirreling around in my head Autumn (Mmmm ), I can't imagine what you hope to find there. The only thing I need to know on a first date is whether I like her and whether I'd like to fuck her. I trust my instinct with people, and that chemistry is an important indicator of compatibility. Beyond that, though, I've recently learnt that there does need to be wider compatibility or else it's never going to go anywhere. The rest I'm happy to have emerge on its own time.

Anyway... back to you getting in my head

My personal thoughts on what a man (me) wants is a woman who can hold her own but isnt a bitch, a woman with a sense of humour, a woman who has an air of mystery but lets me in, confident with self respect.

Oh an tits, gotta have a decent pair of tits.

I think it's good to wise up to the fact that there are some sides to you that some people may need warming up to. I have the same issue and I suspect most single people who've lived a little have. But if you meet someone different, and you can tell they'll accept this side of you, and they do... well then that's a really good measure that they're probably "the one"

I look for a bit of intrigue and mystery, obviously what I find intriguing and mysterious will be different to others. And I suppose I can judge by their reaction whether they will be horrified or intrigued back . The compatibility aspect I suppose

But if the idea they have of you is what they label as an 'ideal' partner.

Let's say that they hold a socialcultural understanding of what the 'ideal' partner looks like or do for a living and you fit that ideal, would they love you or love what you represent to them ?

I just think, at a certain age, it's just about finding someone who you've got good chemistry with, are compatible on quite a deep level, and is willing to make the effort to try and make a relationship work. If you've got that then any extra baggage is something you work through together and it's either a big deal or not

Bad question for here i reckon. In my opinion men want so many different things it's unreal! We are all individuals and want completely different things. I think on here men generally will sound like they only want sex but that's the nature of the beast. I always think it's good to try and find someone like yourself: maybe you need a guy that appreciates or is confident and honest like yourself

Nah you're starting off by thinking you are inadequate. Not sure that's good for your psyche.

I have so much respect for my girlfriend because she is so smart, funny and sexy but I never think she's a better person than me. Mainly because she regularly reminds me that she thinks the same things about me. Took me a long time to find someone I like as much as myself

In short men marry nice but shag nasty. Not talking about the couples who are on here swinging together.

I'm talking about the 100's of guys who claim to be single but have significant others who are unaware of what they get up to. I've spoken to lots of men who say their partners just don't fuck them anymore or fuck them the way they want so they look for it elsewhere. When asked why don't they just leave, it's usually things along the lines of the partner being perfect in every way except the sex part.

Guys will fuck from here but many wouldn't consider women on here as someone they would date, oh no too dirty, they want someone wholesome and pure but then moan when the sex is polite or non existent.

I think that starts things off on an unequal footing. For me the healthiest of relationships are those in which both partners bring something the other can aspire to.

Yeah I get that. It would probably be more in my head than anything. And it’d be nice for me to do the same for my partner

Nah you're starting off by thinking you are inadequate. Not sure that's good for your psyche.

I have so much respect for my girlfriend because she is so smart, funny and sexy but I never think she's a better person than me. Mainly because she regularly reminds me that she thinks the same things about me. Took me a long time to find someone I like as much as myself "

I was married for 16 years to a woman who I admired and aspired to be as good as. She felt the same about me so I think we did ok

"In short men marry nice but shag nasty. Not talking about the couples who are on here swinging together.

I'm talking about the 100's of guys who claim to be single but have significant others who are unaware of what they get up to. I've spoken to lots of men who say their partners just don't fuck them anymore or fuck them the way they want so they look for it elsewhere. When asked why don't they just leave, it's usually things along the lines of the partner being perfect in every way except the sex part.

Guys will fuck from here but many wouldn't consider women on here as someone they would date, oh no too dirty, they want someone wholesome and pure but then moan when the sex is polite or non existent. "

There are lots of complex reasons why different relationships descend into sexless situations. I'm dubious about the Madonna whore thing simply because I don't have it. It just doesn't sit right for me. I just haven't heard an explanation of all this complexity that resonates with me. I think it's possibly something else that's going on here

I disagree. When I was single and on here I would have been open to a relationship. Lots of couples have started on here. They are the lucky ones though. I found it hard to meet women on here because they have that attitude of 'all men are dogs' or because women get bombarded with messages their profiles end up being like a list of demands

I think you could make the argument that being sexually available to all and sundry isn't attractive to men, as it isn't to women, but that it's tempting to men due to their biology where it isn't to women. Most women aren't sexually available to any old guy apart from those who've been driven to desperation. These "nasty" women (just using your opening sentence there) who are available to shag anything with a pulse are then often taken up by guys who'd never think twice about actually dating such an unattractive and desperate woman. The exact same would be said about women who succumbed to fucking "nasty" guys who were so desperate they made it clear they were freely available to shag anything... except women's biology just doesn't make them as confused and desperate enough to ever do this.

Something like that makes much more sense to me

"Unless you absolutely have to, I think you're best off not getting too heavy on a first date. One date I went on laid some heavy shit on me on the first date. Without knowing the person or having any emotional engagement yet it was really easy to walk away. I'm simply not in a good enough place in my life to be able to deal with what that stranger was asking of me. Had she not been a stranger... had I got to know her a little more and began to feel something for her... would that have made my choice more difficult? Definitely. But in her case it was such a big issue that I'm glad she warned me off. But one wonders what kind of Saint she's looking for who would knowingly get involved with a stranger in such a position.

In your case op your "baggage" doesn't seem so vital and necessary to lead with. So maybe leave it until a second or third date. Dunno Good luck

But then some people quite like to jump straight into the guts of someone. See what you're dealing with straight away. I feel I can get a bit too carried away finding out about someone initially but I know I will really get on with someone who is pretty open from the get go. Perhaps not a first date mind, but within a few messages I may be squirming around in your brain a bit "

I enjoy a bit of squirming too!!

That’s just two people’s opinion. Never let others judge you, but if it worries you it is best to judge yourself in the eyes of others.

I know exactly the messages you mean. I get them from supposedly straight men all the time. I've read your profile, I read the profiles of anyone I enter into conversation with or just even if their posts interest me. My own profile is short but succinct.

It's not about changing myself. It's about accepting help sometimes. I can still be independent and have someone help with the burden sometimes. I want to work on it, because a relationship should be give and take. Not me constantly saying "don't worry, I'll do it!" . It's about a partnership. Yes. I always seem to go for alpha males.

"So to surmise....when it comes to sex, women hold the cards. Relationships, men?"

Reductionism to absurdity?

This whole thread consists of a combination of either binary generalisations or individuals own personal experiences. Nothing wrong with either but they collectively don't seem to reach any conclusion that makes sense to all here.

Perhaps that's no surprise, men and women can no more be lumped into generic boxes than can relationships or sex.

People are all more complex than that. One person's experience is no more vaild than anothers and to ascribe defined roles or needs on a generic basis, on a summation of individual experience can only apply some sort of average of response or emotion or need.

Yet none of us are average. We are all unique. Perhaps that's why there are as many opinions or answers here as there are people.

My experiences needs emotions etc are mine alone. So are everyone else's. Those drivers determine who and what form of relationship I seek, and each one will be different because every person I interact with is different with there own collective needs.

The need for sex is an important driver for all, not just those on fab. The need for relationships the same. We are all social beings and being on fab or elsewhere never changes those inbuilt drives.

Perhaps the secret is not attempting to put everything in defined boxes or even trying to ascribe roles based on gender or any other determinant.

Accepting difference and seeking intangibles like love friendship relationships or any other emotional driven aspects of out lives may be more about knowing ourselves and simply accepting others, recognising that life experience changes us all, that timing luck and how we interact with others will be different with every single person we meet.

If we meet that one who matters to us then sex or relationships become personal individual decisions jointly taken that we hope enhance our lives and the life of that other.

At that point we discover what really matters is what we and that other want to share. The rest is just words.

"Been told by two different people within two days the reason I'm single isn't because of my size, but that I'm too confident and honest. Apparently I shouldn't be so open about myself, that men want mystery and they're scared by my unconventional lifestyle.

Do men want to fuck women like me but date cute, passive, flowery girls to settle down with? "

Well who ever told you that is talking bollocks. I wouldn't want anyone that isn't completely open. I like life with cards on the table and not having to play stupid guessing games. Lack of openess to me is a serious problem. How can you navigate your life as a couple through all of life's hardships if you don't know what what's going on in each other's head and are able to express your self with each other? If there is anyone to be completely open with it should be your other half. As to size you are who you. It has nothing to do with the measure of a good partner or sexiness. As for confidence it's a weak man that is threaten by confidence. Surely a good man takes prides in your confidence and helps you to be your very best? Surely a good team is were both parties are confident, self assured and want each other to succeed? And uncomventional is great. Both me and my girl are uncomvetional and we revel in our weirdness. A relationship to me is about teamwork, openness and standing together indivisible. It's not you that has the wrong qualites for a relationship, it's lack of supply of the people who look for the right qualities. Don't change and don't settle for people who don't have the maturity and strength to value the prize qualities you have.

Yes. But then you wouldn't want to settle down with someone who had that attitude anyway would you?

Many of “Today’s” women are undateable as their expectations and TV fuelled need to pile on 3” of makeup and injecting themselves with fillers and Botox ruins them and they just can’t see it.

I presume you are talking about younger women? I would think a lot of older women have more experience and inner confidence than that. Perhaps you think only younger women are worthy of long-term relationships?

I think younger women take that many selfies that they forget who they are.

They are guided by the plastic morons from TV land instead of having their own personalities.

Then they moan that they can’t find a long term partner.

Older folk come from a far more grounded era.

"Thanks guys, some interesting feedback.

By the way I'm not desperate for a relationship or on here for one (if it happened naturally, groovy) just disheartening to hear I'm not wanted for being who I am.

"

You've not said who told you "you're not wanted"

Family, good friends, work colleagues, strangers, folk on a swinging site..?

Some on the list I'd listen to as they'd know me very well, others I'd pay no heed to as they know nothing of me.

As for your op..

Just as with most questions posed about the different genders .. there's no definitive answer as we're all unique.

This is in no way me trying to be disrespectful to you or your career choice..... but

Being a sex worker will turn most men off...

No matter how much a man loves you , It’s going to be really hard to explain to friends, family, and work colleagues how you earn a living... I know everyone will say it shouldn’t matter but trust me ... unless a man is a orphan, his family is very important to him.

So you have narrowed your dating pool to about 10% of all single men....

But there is always hope... my mother always said “ every pot has a lid “

"In short men marry nice but shag nasty. Not talking about the couples who are on here swinging together.

I'm talking about the 100's of guys who claim to be single but have significant others who are unaware of what they get up to. I've spoken to lots of men who say their partners just don't fuck them anymore or fuck them the way they want so they look for it elsewhere. When asked why don't they just leave, it's usually things along the lines of the partner being perfect in every way except the sex part.

Guys will fuck from here but many wouldn't consider women on here as someone they would date, oh no too dirty, they want someone wholesome and pure but then moan when the sex is polite or non existent. "

I think being open to change is a key aspect of having a successful relationship.

Not necessarily changing who you are as a person because that’s masking and not healthy, but a little change here and there both ways could open you to a lifetime of happiness with someone else.

Sadly that's correct. Obviously, if, for whatever reason your pool of potential partners is reduced, you are going to find it harder to get a relationship.

It's now how it should be, but there is a social stigma around sex work and most blokes would not be willing to have a relationship with someone who does it.

The same would apply to blokes who want to swing within a relationship. Most women won't accept that and there are vastly more men who swing than women.

Hey there is nothing wrong with us flowery passive girls either

I will be honest I think I'm a bit needy and that puts guys off. I'm a people pleaser and like to do all I can to indulge my partner but I suppose they can have all that straight away so it gives them nothing to work for maybe. That's how I've summarised myself up anyway.

I also think if a guy is really into you he will move heaven and earth for you to be his. I've learnt that the hard way that words mean nothing, no matter how much he tells you he cares about you if he meant it he would do something about it.

The key is both people going in the relationship understanding themselves as an individual first, being in a good place to want to be in a relationship because it takes effort. I have always thought similarities build a stronger bond and grow together rather than apart. So the question is are you compatible, compromisable and agreeable to each other?

I don't think men are intimidated by independent women, but scared of not living up to that fantasy standard same goes for women especially on the looks department.


"So to surmise....when it comes to sex, women hold the cards. (correct) Relationships, men? (about right except in the case of unwanted pregnancy - it happens) "

I'd assume the majority of men want women they can dominate not bully and somewhat lead, nonetheless a strong woman. Perhaps, a strong woman to others. We can be complicated too.

Unconventional lifestyle is not what the majority wants to bring home to mummy or around friends, however, unconventional women are usually thought of as wild, fun, bad hence women we shag and date might be different depending on chemistry.

That's horseshit excuse my language and those men are just cowards who are scared of strong and honest women.

I'm currently in a relationship with someone I've met on here and we're both open and honest with each other, neither of our sexual history has been an issue. The fact that we're both very highly sexed is actually a positive not a negative.

I used to think the same as you before I met him but when you meet someone and you click and the relationship works you won't be concerned about all the bullshit comments other men have said to you xx

"I find personally that my independence pushes men away. I'm so used to doing everything myself, I find it hard to allow someone to help. It's been an issue for a long time. I've been told I make them feel like they are not needed. I don't even realise that I do it most of the time. I know it's something I need to work on.

Don't change yourself, just get a bloke that's glad not to be in a relationship that he feels he's having to do all the work. Do you tend to go for alpha males?

It's not about changing myself. It's about accepting help sometimes. I can still be independent and have someone help with the burden sometimes. I want to work on it, because a relationship should be give and take. Not me constantly saying "don't worry, I'll do it!" . It's about a partnership. Yes. I always seem to go for alpha males.

They can take your independence as a threat to their own alpha status. You just have to train them a little more subtly!

I'd rather be single than lose my independence..... In fact I am single! . I do know what you mean though. I'll give it a go. But I may sometimes allow them to make a coffee, or change a fuse

Go round the house before they arrive, screwing lids in jars extra tight and alter the ballcock in your cistern so its dripping. Then give them that helpless look ( all women can when they really want to!). He'll feel 6inches taller and you'll know that you've played him like a fish. It might not be honest, but its what makes the world go round. I'm a double alpha male.. .i do everything for myself...and everyone else. Or am I a mug? "

Sometimes it isn’t about the other person doing stuff you can’t do, it’s just about both of you working together to get it done more quickly. There’s no power exchange in that..

Whilst your friends might not have meant harm they were generalising massively and it’s unhelpful. I continue to believe that there are men out there who want to be with a reasonably strong, moderately confident and overweight woman, and I have many friends who are, but I think he will take a while to find.

You are a woman of depth and substance. You don’t need to be ‘mysterious’, there is enough to find out about you even when you are honest and open I would have thought. And isn’t confidence and independence necessary for us to push boundaries and have adventures with our partners? Surely these are attractive qualities in any potential partner, whatever their gender.

Apologies for tortuous syntax.

I can only speak for myself but dating independent women is very hard.

I work 60-80 hours per week plus travel... I dated a woman in a similar position and it was very hard to form a bond when you only see someone twice a month....

I wasn’t intimidated by her , I was just not interested in investing the time needed to let the relationship develop.... but maybe during a different stage in my life. This could have worked....

They spend far too much time preening themselves.

There’s being clean, hygienic and smelling nice but they then pull on skinny jeans and then put on Brogues with no socks.

It shouldn’t be a battle for who spends the most time in the bathroom getting ready.
