Do they want the porn star look? Or the girl next door? Painted nails? Heels? What do men want?

To be treated like the individuals they are, perhaps?

Winosaurus · 18/04/2018 16:56

Yes because all men are attracted to exactly the same things Hmm

I think you might need to ask individual ones. We're not one homogenous mass with a hive-mind.

Speaking for myself, I'm gay. So none of the above, really.

Jordan4531 · 18/04/2018 16:57

The same as women, someone they fancy. Not all men are the same and want the same thing, that's a ludicrous idea, just be you and you'll be fine

OP it's a bit early to be drinking

"A whore in the bedroom, a goddess in the kitchen and a maid in the sitting room" according to the old school saying Confused some probably still do, but they can spin and swivel first!! One would hope that most would look for a partner to "share" with mutual attraction!

yasmin0147 · 18/04/2018 17:01

Don’t go on what men want, go for what you want. And they are all different and all like different things. There’s no one fits all.

Snapespeare · 18/04/2018 17:02

Who fucking cares? I will never define myself by what a man wants me to be.

Fruitcorner123 · 18/04/2018 17:05

Who fucking cares?

I couldn't have put it better myself

‘A whore in the kitchen, a cook in bed.’

Eolian · 18/04/2018 17:07

Huh? Do you think all women want exactly the same things? Wht would men?

Eolian · 18/04/2018 17:08

*why

ReanimatedSGB · 18/04/2018 17:08

Human beings mostly want: enough to eat and a safe home; people to care about and people who care about them; a goal of some sort to pursue (specific career/to live by the sea/to write a book/to raise happy kids/to climb a mountain etc) and reasonably good health.

In terms of choosing sexual partners, most people want someone who is appealing to them, compatible and available. And that varies from person to person.

FlyingElbows · 18/04/2018 17:10

Here's a radical suggestion... why not ask one? So much female hand wringing and energy wasting could be avoided by simply talking to a man or some men. They, like us, are not a hive mind.

SleepingStandingUp · 18/04/2018 17:11

Well my Dh likes the plumper lady, isn't keen on makeup and likes goth type clothes. So assuming we can extrapolate from one mans taste what they ask want, there's your answer. For reference he got two of those as standard and gets one as a treat

Mine will want a cold beer and not to mow the lawn. He will get 1 after he completes 2. Simples

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 18/04/2018 17:25

Who gives a shiny shit? What do you want?

caringcarer · 18/04/2018 17:28

I expect it changes from day to day!

BertrandRussell · 18/04/2018 17:28

What do men want? The destruction of the patriarchy, true equality and to stand shoulder to shoulder with women while it’s being achieved.

SasBel · 18/04/2018 17:30

No idea. Mine likes me!

VladmirsPoutine · 18/04/2018 17:31

Are you after a re-hashing of this thread:

TatianaLarina · 18/04/2018 17:31

What do you want OP, that’s the question.

GetOffTheTableMabel · 18/04/2018 17:32

Blowjobs and sandwiches, isn’t it?
In the words of the Rolling Stones - You can’t always get what you want.....
Seriously though, why would you assume that men, collectively, might want the same thing? They don’t. Anymore than women do.
