What do women want in a man?

[Ginger]

We are meant to answer that honestly? The best response you will probs will get from me is " I was thinking that if City sell Hoolahan, will we invest in pacy wingers and ditch the diamond formation" and the worst will be something along the lines of " What I wouldn't do to that bird off hollyoaks".

gg divorce rate.

Sigh, I think you kinda missed the point of Dawn's post...

Just a bit!   

[Ironside]

reason i never answer when someone ask "what are you thinking" is because i am normally mentally undressiing them or thinking god your bum looks big in that

[Longy]

Haha and there we have it, the difference between the men and women in a microcosm. See I decided to avoid the issue in my post and make some flippent remark, I understood where you were going with the post but couldn't resist turning into some kind of joke. Then the women come on and think I am being serious.

Seriously if we men acted like women and vice versa, there wouldn't be the same level of attraction imo. Deep down we actually like the fact we are different and found those qualities attractive. If this wasn't the case we would mostly be homosexual, no?

"What are you thinking?" - 4 little words that strike fear into even the hardiest of men.

Why?!?!  It's not a trick question FFS!   

I'd love to be able to ask that question without facing what resembles a deer about to be crushed by the headlights of a car.  But alas, it's a rare occurrence.   

If we're just chilling and I notice a wee glint in the eye, a frown a smile or whatever, I may ask that question. 

You may only be thinking, "I've got to go to the loo, but want to wait until the next advert break."  OK, not riveting conversation, I'll give you that, but why be afraid?  We don't spend our days looking for a fight.  Yet ye assume that's what we're after.

Ahhhhhhh, but then we bring those four little words into the the mix during a real live argument.  Again, grown men revert to a state of panic.  Almost as bad as a kid who's been told there is no Santa.  Here's where it get tricky for ye Lads, but it needn't be. 

I can't count the number of times I've heard a Lad say, "I just drown her out with my own thoughts and let her get on with her rant."  So by the time you're asked, "What are you thinking?" yer basically in a world of trouble because you're planning the next week's match schedule by then and haven't a clue what she was on about for the past 5 minutes. 

FOCUS!  It's all about focus man.  For centuries, men have sat in boardrooms hours on end listening to pure rubbish, but they stay focused because their jobs depend on it.  Men have fought in battles and had to stay focused because their lives depend on it.  You lot play poker FFS!  Surely you stay focused during your play...at least most of the time? 

During one of our rants, stay focused.  You KNOW those four little words will appear at some point.  Why get yourself into more trouble by blanking out the entire conversation?

Once you've been asked, "What are you thinking?" you can let loose.  We may not be impressed with your thoughts, but we'll be damn well impressed by the fact that you were paying attention.

That's my post brekkie lesson over.  Will come up with the next one in time for your lunch.

gobbledygook. Read it three times and still not a clue what you are on about.

Good luck to anyone who ever asks what I am thinking and manages to escape within three hours when I respond honestly. We'll cover economics, pornography, football, cinema, children, blonde Poker..perhaps take a short break...and then move onto music, TV and Scottish Dave.

gg your life. Best not to ask.

you actually spend time thinking about scottish dave?

I had a feeling you were messing about.  You're too intelligent to have totally missed the point.

Thing is, we like the silliness in ye.  In fact, that's one of the most popular traits in a man if you ask a group of women.  But there's a time and a place for it.  

Silly reply whilst sat just chilling = very good.  Even a long winded Tighty reply is acceptable.  Just do us a favour...if our eyes start to glaze over 2 hours in, it's break time. 

Silly reply during the heat of an argument = good game relationship.

Well, I guess there are exceptions to every rule  , condense man, condense!

However, at least it shows you were listening, even if you go off on wild tangents lol.

Sense of humour is a must.

Some degree of honesty.

Nice arse and mouth.

Good in the sack.

Likes his own space ( just so i get mine).

Really like big men, ( I mean physically big not well endowed although that is an extra tick)

Last but not least Hygeine, must be able to eat my lunch off him.

Mo sums it up in few enough words that ye Lads might actually pay attention!   

[Claw75]

good list Mo

I'm with you on the 'big' thing - bloke got to be bigger than me!

I was thinking about this last night whilst i was dropping off. I'm far too picky for my own good. I don't - can't - fancy someone I've never met from seeing a photo of them. If I'm out and about and looking out, I'll see guys that i think are 'good looking' and guys that I am attracted too. Not necessarily the same ones. The attraction comes more from body language - how they carry themselves, how relaxed they seem, facial expressions, and something that is just hard to put into words - 'charm' I suppose.

[GreekStein]

Why do you want to know what someone is thinking? It's a weird question, start a normal conversation!
