What do women want?

"Man meat" and "meat market" give me terrible associations.

 

Stop arguing about who wears the pants, relationships work better when no one is wearing pants.

Yes that is on the Internet, thought it was funny and true.

 

What a woman wants is not as important as figuring out who she is. Once (or if) you do this extremely complex and difficult task you can adjust as required to twist into the pretzel she hopes for. Women are totally unique in their beauty and the most work you will ever love doing.

 

Cis-scum, sexist, heteronormative, privileged, able bodied, class joke!

 

I want a snack, but I'm not really sure what I'm in the mood for.

 

Time to be sexist again: Woman like gross, sweetened alcoholic beverages and excruciatingly looong shopping-tours in some overly crowded, robotic mall.

 

I always seen these things as very feminine. Infact I cannot ever remember seeing or hearing about a man who was trying to make the girl he likes jelly by flirting with her friend. Nor have I ever used this "flirting strategy" myself either.

Silly games like "acting hard to get" is very much the flirting tactics of girls. As I see it there are two kinds of men; (1) confident ones and (2) unconfident ones. The previous will make a move on the gurl he likes and the latter will avoid her. Some guys are "players" by nature and will just flirt with everyone.

I guess you are just misinformed and are projecting your own female behaviour onto men. If a guy ever flirted with your friend it most likely was not to make you jel, but simply a sign he was into her and not into you.

 

There's a whole BOOK about this stuff for men! Lol! Men are notorious game players, playing hard to get, pretending they don't care.

 

Saying that men are not good at hiding their emotions is not necessarily true. Some men are very good at it, sometimes to their own disadvantage. And some men also play hard to get, though perhaps less frequently than women, in general.

With regards to ignoring an attractive woman, I suspect it's more complicated than simply ignoring her, but in short the answer is: yes, sometimes a man does ignore a woman in whom he is romantically interested. The reason(s) for this may be one or more of the following.

> The man might think the woman is "out of his league" and that he has no chance with her, so he either doesn't try or perhaps he ignores her with the hope that she will somehow notice him. This last possibility is a rather odd "strategy", as it is often apparent that people don't pay close attention to others that don't particularly stand out to them.

> I can't speak for all of them, but many men are either not very good at reading hints or they misinterpret hints, especially from women, and even more so from a woman he finds attractive. Many women use very subtle hints to express their interest in a man, thus many men do not even register the hints on their radar. This can be particularly difficult for a man who does not easily express himself and is not accustomed to taking risks. Being the first to make a move toward a woman whom he finds attractive can therefore be very intimidating. A man's insecurities may also come into play, which may lend further resistance to the man's making a move.

> The man may not want to seem too forthcoming or creepy, or seem like he is harassing. During an age in which many people are easily offended and in which a person can be widely cast in the wrong light very quickly, men might be overly careful in whom they show interest. This could be especially true if the woman is a coworker, as HR involvement brought on by sexual harassment claims can be a very difficult experience. Men who fear these possibilities may be less likely to express romantic interest in a woman.

> If the man has known the woman for some time and she has gotten into the "friend zone", he may really want to be more than friends, but simultaneously he doesn't want to jeopardize the relationship entirely, so doesn't make his move.

> The man could be at a place in his life where -- while he would like to meet a good woman and pursue her romantically -- he feels he is not ready or able to take on the responsibility.

I am probably missing some possibilities. I suppose I should say that some, if not all, of the above may be equally true for a woman when she is interested in a man.

It depends. If the woman is really beautiful, and gets hit on all the time, it's a technique to ignore her. She isn't used to that so she will want to prove herself to him. ( If he does a bunch of other steps correctly) .

By the way, men are not logical at all. Everybody is acting on their emotions.

And stop trying to talk to ME as if you are some kind of "dating expert." I'm sure I've been dating for much longer than you have. Goodness, 6 years ago you were like 15 years old. Lol!

 

I agree with Bill Engvall ...

 

There are a lot of guys out there who think they are "players." Lol! When they see an attractive woman, they try to "play it cool" and act like they aren't interested because they seem to think it will drive her wild if they don't show interest (because she is used to getting attention.). There are books and websites for men dedicated to "techniques" to pick up women. I've seen men even post these and give other men this advice online plenty of times.

 

Oh I'm sure they do.

When I was first introduced to my wife, she thought I was "stuck up" because I was so quiet. Took me several months to ask her out ... lol.

 

Well, I'm assuming you've been out of the loop, so to speak, for a while now. People aren't what they used to be.

 

Yeah ... A close friend of mine died suddenly last summer. His wife told me they met at a party about 43 years ago. She said all the guys there had either a cigarette or a beer in their hand, except this one strong, handsome guy who was just standing quietly by himself. She told me, "I thought to myself, I want to meet that guy." So she went over and introduced herself. They were married 38 years. She told me she was thankful for every day of those years.

 

Things are very different nowadays though. People are more immature and stupid, I think.

 

Yep. Just like I said then, insecure men will avoid the girl they like. Not as a conscious flirting strategy, but rather not to make a fool out of himself as he percieves she is out of his league and/or that he doesn't want come out as a creep. Women however will use "avoiding" and "flirting with his friends" as a conscious flirting strategy because women are meanies.

Guys are definitely more "straight forward" in terms of dating. A guy would never do anything as silly as faking intetest in a girl. Girls however do use this, sometimes to make the actual guy they like jelly and sometimes "just for the sake of it"; perhaps the guy is bothered by it and they like making him awkward as some girls get some semi-sadistic satisfaction from this.

Women are manipulative and use their superior empathy and social skills combined with their superior knowledge of human behaviour in general as a mean to make parents (when they are children) and men (when they grow up) to get what they want.

Thus hath spoketh Ritter, expert on women and dating.

 

I was just telling you the truth. You literally got out the exact same thing I said from that Quora page you were quoting.

Actually... 6 years ago, I was closer to 20 than I was to 15.

 

A guy who pretends he doesn't care either actually doesn't give a flying horse or he does give a flying horse, but lacks the balls to show it so he hides it as - in Freudian terms - a form of rationalisation; "she doesn't want me anyways."
