We all know the male mind is
mysterious. But turns out we women have a whole lot of “he just
won’t understand” secrets ourselves. What do you think? Any of
these sound familiar?
1. Everything we buy for ourselves —
shoes, a skirt, even just stuff from the drugstore — really costs
20 percent more than we say.
Just
because it's a classic sitcom plot doesn't mean it
isn't true.
2.
We actually think about sex — with you! — a lot.
Sometimes we think about it all day long. It's just that by the
end of the day we're too damn tired to do anything about
it.
3.
We're just as nervous about commitment as you
are.True, many girls grow up dreaming of Prince
Charming, the white wedding, and happily ever after. But we're
human, just like you, and when it comes down to the reality of
tying our life to another person's, we get scared, too.
4.
We may be modern and independent, but we still want you to be
"the man." We do want you to be sensitive,
caring 21st-century males, but even the most ass-kicking,
take-no-prisoners woman still wants to feel taken care of by her
man somehow.
5.
Our ex-boyfriends were not completely terrible in
bed.You know how we're always telling you things
like, "Oh, yeah, you're definitely the biggest I've
ever had," or "No one does it like you do"? Um,
yeah. Well, we may have been stretching the truth just a teensy
bit.
Here, 7 more shocking secrets that guys
don't know. (but we
do!) . Any others to add to the list?

Some of these are true statements, but I don't keep them a secret. I don't see the point in keeping secrets, especially about things like being sexually attracted to your partner (talking about what fantasy you had seems like a great way to get the sparks flying), feeling nervous at times about the relationship, and wanting to feel taken care of sometimes. How can you get your needs met and work through your fears if you keep them to yourself?

One - No. No need to lie about what something cost. 1. It's none of his business, and 2. does he even care?
Two - No. It's not on my mind all day, or even most days. Sometimes around ovulation, but that's hormonal.
Three - No. I'm not nervous about committment. I just don't want it in a throw back to the 1600's type of way.
Four - Not really. I'd have to think about this one some, but I like being able to take care of myself. I'd really like to be able to kick a** for myself too. Since 99.9% of my friends are guys, I'm tired of the "take care of you" attitude.
Five - N/A
So I guess I'm not in the every woman catagory. Gosh, maybe people should pick title that actually work. Like, "most women" not every woman.

1. I don't really care how you spend YOUR money. Aslong as you can commit to paying half of the bills with me as we pool our money together, then that's fine with me. Also allow me the same luxury of not being scrutinized by what I buy with my own money.
2. Ditto. Just because I'm a guy doesn't mean I'm always ready to go. Massage or cuddling is always a great alternative.
3. Again Ditto.
4. I have no problems with being "the man" because last time I checked I am one. Men like to be taken care of too without being labeled "Mamma's Boys". It's called tenderness and its not gender exclusive.
5. No need to stroke ego's in bed. If you like something done a certain way, communicate. Have the patience and maturity to offer pointers without judgement. It less about the execution and more about the initiative to please one another and not be selfish about it.

What was the point of you comment?
Did you just want the world to know that you are a special, extraordinary, independent, "Guys Girl"?
You just sound Sour!

Will we ever get to know what women want from us? Human mind is mysterious.

Littlebitty what the hell was the point of your comment?
Did you just want the world to know that you are an insignificant judgmental speck of dust who doesn't have the integrity to post something relevant, instead criticizing someone else?
Who sounds sour?
