What do Men Really Want? Food, Sex, Laundry . . .

As a people, we've come a long way. We've cracked the human genome, crossed the seven seas, sent man to the moon and put Ryan Seacrest on TV. We've made technological and social advances (although the Seacrest thing is debatable). Well done us. But despite these advances, the relationship between men and women remains very much the same. We will always be slaves to our DNA. Women will always think their butts are too big and men will never ask for directions.

So even though we're now entrenched in the 21st century, men still possess needs that have been with them since the dawn of time. When it comes to relationship bliss, it's food, sex and laundry.

Food:

Food has a deep psychological effect on us. What do people do to celebrate an occasion? They eat together. Even Jesus had a blowout meal with his buddies when he knew his time was up. We eat to live. Food makes us happy. Food means we have the energy to live another day. Food is also where we sink our sorrows. Hands up, who has kicked back a pint of ice cream over a bad breakup? And no one likes to eat alone. There's a reason there are counters in restaurants and diners. It's a place where the single folk can eat and not be lonely.

It doesn't matter if a guy knows his way around the kitchen or not, he likes to have a meal cooked for him by a woman. Women are nurturers by nature. They look out for others. A guy's nurturing tendencies go as far as "Walk it off, son." It's very calming to a guy when a woman does something nice for him. Whatever is going wrong in the world, everything can be reset with an act of kindness from his woman -- and making a meal for him can be just that act. It reminds him that someone out there is looking out for him. This shouldn't be viewed as a submissive role. The meal maker holds a position of power. You can make him happy and for that he'll be forever grateful.
