...I just read this article at Salon about what at least some men supposedly want, anyway:

Wife shop!
They're the men who ask about your family's disease history, whether you'd live on the Upper West Side and if you'd be willing to convert -- on the first date. Did their biological clocks all go off at once?

March 18, 2005 | Three years ago, a professional acquaintance asked me out for a drink. Cute, in his late 30s, Peter was from a privileged background, confident, with a reputation as a cad. I was not particularly attracted to him, but figured I would take him up on the drink. No sooner had I settled into the booth than his questions started: "Where are you from?" Philadelphia. "Where did you go to high school?" Quaker school. "Are you Quaker? You look Jewish." I'm not religious. "Would you raise your kids religiously?" Uh, I hadn't thought about it. "Wait, how old are you?" 26. "Oh, that's too young." Too young for what? "Too young to be looking for a serious relationship. I really thought you were older when I asked you out."

Peter hadn't walked into the bar to get to know a woman he found intriguing, or even to get laid. His business was finding a suitable bride, and had I been "old enough," his next question might well have been how many goats my father had secured for my dowry. Peter was my first wife-shopper, but not the last. Reports of these kinds of encounters -- with men who investigate your family's disease history over a get-to-know-you beer or decide after two dinners to invite you on vacation with their college roommates and their wives -- have become increasingly common among my female friends, urban women often assumed to be husband hunting themselves. In some cases, the men we're meeting are more interested in settling down than we are -- almost as though they have their own internal biological clocks.

According to a new book, they do. In "The Male Biological Clock," Dr. Harry Fisch, a urologist at Columbia University, asserts that men over 35 are twice as likely to be infertile as those under 25, and that a drop in testosterone after 30 can contribute to a psychological need to drop domestic anchor. And as the increase in fertility technologies and professional commitments for women pushes the average age of marriage back, some men are assuming a take-no-prisoners approach to shopping for a life mate.

to sleep. I just want to sleep. That's all. I want to put my head down on my pillow, forget about the students who pissed me off today, and just doze out of consciousness. Is that too much to ask?

According to Chris Rock, that is.

drugs...and nude juiced up baseball players all around them--well gay men that is!

You askedith, I toldith.

Payback for all those atrocity worshipers and change the planet for the good forever with it!

and then some pizza.

at least according to earl butz

:D

On edit, preferably morning sex.

back to my desk. :bounce:

that no male DUer has posted a "What do WOMEN want?" thread yet?

We figure that other than the really obvious stuff (food, oxygen, toilet paper and such), you just want the opposite of whatever we want :).

I'm in an extremely horrid mood right at the moment. :(

Seriously. Not all the time, necessarily, except for those of us who are really insecure--but it may be fundamental to the male mind that we need to matter at the personal and tribal level. If our SO reminds us every once in a while that we are important and necessary, and pampers us accordingly, I think we're happy and willing to do just about anything in return.

this is the best answer, because its the answer that works... don't ask me how I know :evilgrin:

I'd like to be able to meet a woman, have us hit it off and then I pursue a romantic relationship with her, which she accepts. Ideally that's how it's supposed to work isn't it? Not with me. I've always envisioned this scenario: a man and a woman meet, at a party, church, grocery store, wherever. They flirt, start talking and thus is the beginnings of romance. Not here. Either I've pursued the wrong women or missread the situation but I've never been able to meet a future love this way. Ever. When I've actually summoned up my courage and put away my fear of rejection with a woman, up pops a boyfriend, fiance, whatever. Or the let's just be friends line. I don't want to be introduced to her cousin or neighbor. I wanted her.

barbeque and bathroom humor

My Husband is very happy with all of that. LOL. :)But he is a simple man.

I'm sure that would be my wifes answer.

is just give me that wink
slam bam I'm a feeling alright
troubles disappear in the blink of an eye
no need to psychoanalyze or have a stiff drink
all she's gotta do is just give me that wink" Neil McCoy

can't get any more specific than that except to say.

Twins :bounce: :bounce:

:D

I'm obviously not a man, but I would bet that most want to be loved and accepted.

hula girls...

It's up to him as an individual I think to make that determination. If you want to get really stereotypical, it usually involves having plenty of sex and being well fed. :silly:

To quote Jeff Foxworthy.

I can be pretty particular.

until they find something "better."
