Really! What DO women want?
Isn’t this one of the most challenging questions of all time? We thought “what men want” was difficult, but this is even harder.
The epic struggle of mankind to figure out the inner workings of women is ages old. Even Sigmund Freud, the master of modern psychology, died trying to figure out women. It isn’t easy.
I had a friend once joke with me that “men mostly want sex, woman want the right to be hypocritical, yet call men on their inconsistencies.” No wonder men and women struggle to get along!
So here is my compilation of criteria and how it has changes as I grew older. Also including some predictions on what I will value in future men.
