What do women really want?
Take some time to read this....good one and very True!!!
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of
a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved
by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom,
as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have
a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no
answer, he would be put to death.
The question was: What do women really want?
He accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end. He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high as the witch was famous through out the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch.
She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first. The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, The most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, and Arthur's closest friend! He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden, But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered. Arthur's question thus: "What a woman really wants?"
She said, "Is to be in charge of her own life."
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth.
And that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom. And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding. The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened.
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, She would henceforth be her horrible and deformed self only half the time. And the beautiful maiden the other half.
"Which would you prefer? She asked him.
"Beautiful during the day...or at night?"
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, But at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!
Or,
Would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day? But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous, intimate moments with?
(If you are a man reading this...) What would YOUR choice be?
(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?
What Lancelot chose, is given below:
Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his question, He said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time. Because, he had respected her enough, to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now... what is the moral to this story?
1) There is a powerful creature (witch) in every woman no matter how beautiful she is!
2) If you don't let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly.
So, always remember: IT'S EITHER "HER WAY" OR IT'S "NO WAY"!!!
A article I wrote for the Tribune (once again unpublished, once again unsurprisingly) from a feminist perspective on female and male identities within relationships.

Saves me repeating myself. Saves all you guys reading my nonsense unless you really want to. We’re all winners.
Personally, though, all I basically want is someone who'll listen to the cds I make them, laugh at my jokes and be utterly, shamlessly happy with. I don't think boys are so complicated to be honest.
Joe.
I firmly believe that this story is fabricated by a man to slander women in general.
I will do my way most of time if I am 20s;
will find what I want if I am 30s;
go in for what I want in 40s
the best happiness will be to share my kids' growing up if 50s;
the best satisfication is to be have enough money for normal life if 60s;
I can work with others if 70s~80s.LOL...
I want the followings,I were a man:
share youth life with different girls I like when I am 20s;
good job for my family where I am with a wife if am 30s;
enjoy wonderful girls from far away if 40s;
educating my kids if 50s
re-love with my wife if 60s
keep my head clear if 70s~80s
----------------------------------------------
share your life with me as we are different:)
he wouldnt say he didn't like what I was wearing or how my hair is done unless I asked him. :D And I think most women DO ask their 'man' is they look OK, don't they?
It's just that most women ask, then go off and do it their own way regardless. Don't get me wrong, I doubt I'm a wimp - I just don't want to sit at a table in a restaurant knowing the guy eating with me doesn't like how I look!
Believe me, when I was home alone in the UK, and hub was working abroad, I was occasionally a little more daring ;D (well a few years ago anyway lol)
thats the point jauntie. why should you wear something not liked by the one you live with. Otherwise you need to strong willed to withstand criticism
everyone told me how nice it looked, even a woman I'd never met on holiday came over to me and commented on it!
My husband didn't like the hairstyle, so next time I went to my hairdresser (male) I told him this and said I wanted a change.
The hairdresser looked horrified; he turned to the women in his salon and said: 'What woman ever listened to what her husband thinks?'
I felt a bit silly, actually :/ But, you see, I wasn't living with the people who DID like my hair, was I.
Ummmm, well since we live in a country where that happens a lot, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut. :P

Oh I wasn't talking about the way a girl would look or what she wears. I was just talking in general. Why on earth would a guy tell his partner what to wear and what not to wear ?!
Sorry Corne, on many many things I'm a discuss and comprimise kinda gal, but not when it comes to how I look, what I wear, etc. I'm a I'll wear what I want and if you say anything other then "You look nice darling" I will not be responsible for my actions.

hehe. not let her decide what to do for herself but let her decide what to do together.
i dont like girls interfering me much. and wudnt change my way for a girl so i 'mostly' do the same for girls.
and i cant understand people they care people they meet a lot. u can understand if he/she is special for u or not. if he is not and u still continue it means u need more experience:)
thats why i dont really care about girls. maybe sometimes i do much. but still.. i know what i want and i know when i see what i want it usually happens..
Hmmm Salax, I wasn't talking to u, I was talking to nib. Sorry.
But since u mentioned it "ofcourse i will decide", why would U decide where ur going to live, etc ? BOTH of u should decide...TOGETHER.
u would "let" her decide ?? How generous of u to allow her to make her own decisions! geez!
i wudnt be with a girl for long if it is always her way. can be around a week:)
but the point here.. she shud be a good girl making decisions for both . not for her satisfaction.. or for the idea... i shud use this guy..
then i wud let her decide most of the time..
I don't agree with "it's her way or no way", I believe in compromise, it's the solution to everything. Actually it would suck if it was always my way, I mean life is about sharing...and that includes decisions and choices, so u should compromise with ur partner...afterall u get what u give.
Personally, I don't know what I want, and I'm happy like that...life would be too boring if I knew exactly what I wanted...it's better to just live and take opportunities as they come along, who knows what tomorrow might hold...it might hold Josh Hartnett proposing to me *goes back to daydreaming* lol
only a drunk grl would actually pass the opportunity hehe
its not only an honor and a privillege, but also a life altering experience ;)

2) the remote control (sure I don't give a rats, as long as it's not cricket. Anything but cricket)
3) Lots of sex (try and keep up with me)
4) abundance in food (I have a mean take out voice)
5) not bieng taken for a guilt trip when they dont perform the most simple mundane tasks that women always want done ( like taking out the trash ) (No problem, but it goes both ways! I don't want to be guilt tripped if I forget to do the dishes)
6 ) MOST IMPORTANT of them all... recognistion/appreciation.. (ok. No problem. Same back)

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
He asked me to babysit when the kids were young, but they acted up and so my sister in law was worried - sheesh!
Then he asked me to go round and help his wife getting food organised for a football match, or something. She was a bit offended when I fetched up to assist lol
No win situation. I gave up trying.
so true ... our ancestors were so wise in the ways of the world
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
something about
a daughter is a daughter for all your life
but a son is a son 'till he takes a wife
Can't remember it ...
Right easier said then done ... the main thing is how we men will balance it
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
this is not about choosing its like being forced to do by blackmailed
and to have peace in the hose we have to sacrifice
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
My sister-in-law wanted only her family involved in the upbringing of her children. We got to attend parties and stuff like tht, but were really quite excluded from being any 'influence' at all!
its not only in sub continent this is happening
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
although my sister and I both embraced our husbands' families, my brother's wife did quite a good job of making sure my sister, mother and I had very little to do with their children. She would only allow HER mother to babysit, or if I wanted to take my nephew and nieces out to anywhere, she would say 'oh, but I was taking them to that'
Silly of her really, because the children lost out on a great pair of Aunties!
when it comes to our mother and sisters they want to keep them away from our life... but MIL and SIL will be brought closer is this fair.
I know i am going to be kicked royally for this but what the hack this is a world wide problem
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
I've already sent an order for wood and oil to start a great fire . There will be a great barbecue soon on QL :D
Some are Wise ... Some are ...Otherwise
Most men r ready to let them be incharge of their lives but the problem is that you folks want to be incharge of our lives too.
What men basically want is some breathing space. A best woman in my opinion is the one who knows her mans committment to his work, his friends and his mother and sisters...:P
Life is too short and if u r not living on the edge then u r taking up too much space.
1) to be left a lone when they need 2
>fine but don't harass me when I want time alone and I chat with guys on the net...LOL...it goes both ways babe!!!
2) the remote control
>I want a divorce
3) Lots of sex
>easy
4) abundance in food
>you have 2 hands- cook yourself you lazy pr*&k..lol
5) not bieng taken for a guilt trip when they dont perform the most simple mundane tasks that women always want done ( like taking out the trash )
>Fine, let me hire a full time maid!!!
6 ) MOST IMPORTANT of them all... recognistion/appreciation
>easy peasy- everyone should feel appreciated...
'Our freedom is but a light that breaks through from another world'
Give us what we want and you get what you want back. It's a win-win situation...at least ideally.
unpleasantries make them monsters/vampires/hitlers.
Luv this post, every day is women's day heehehee
Frog, I see ugly witches heading for you on their broom. Was'nt your big mouth which turned you into frog in the first place ? (Kidding, you are funny.)
Very True ... Truely True ..... amazingly true ... now girls stop dreaming u'll never make men do what you want :D at least when u're not naked lol
Some are Wise ... Some are ...Otherwise
Azilana, u couldn't even be more true, it totally agree.
For now, I'll settle for a hot cup of coffee. (How very true Azilana).

I've been a woman for 27 years and I still don't know what I want. :P If someone knows what a man wants could they please fill me in? It can't be as simple as it seems.

Is that not called being selfish
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
I should have omitted that last part when i tried to make it shorter. But it would affect the whole story...
Anyway, the story maybe fromthe imagination but the "moral" of the story is TRUE...

If Mama ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy!!
SO TRUEEEEEEEE
ROLF but the same women would not reciprocate and allow us be in charge of our own life
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
Women always have their own way it is the men who are left with little choices.
Oh..... I would have ruined it all : Before reading the end I've made a choice . That was : I prefer to have it beautiful at night LOL . No kidding , I did. Anyway, This also shows that I don't really care about appearance. Well..... Azilana , now I understand .. I got the moral of ''your pic above '' lol. Half Human half witch. I prefer you let us get the moral of the sory . When u give it plainly ( I think) you're restricting our choices and maybe also our comments :D Thanks .
Some are Wise ... Some are ...Otherwise
ROFL! Too true!
