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

they want ANSWERS, and they are prepared to wait to get them.

MoistCantaloupe · 18/04/2018 17:33

This must be a joke.

The 7 year old young man nearest to me currently wants a cup of juice and for me to build a farm with him.

Not a clue what any other man wants, but I'm off to build a farm on the kitchen table.

OP, nobody knows because there's no answer. Some men want one thing, others want something else. That's why the world works, mostly, because half of the earths population aren't all chasing the very same exact thing.

According to a lot of posters on MN they want to be misogynistic shits who can’t keep their dicks in a their trousers, before invading women’s toilets whilst dressed in a frock.

In reality men share two common traits with women. They’re human and all individual.

outabout · 18/04/2018 17:38

Speaking as a man I agree with Bertrand.

DownAtFraggleRock · 18/04/2018 17:39

I doubt v much DH wants the girl next door, she's about 90.... Grin

KT63 · 18/04/2018 17:39

It depends on the man? Just like there is no definitive answer to “what do women want?” Having the same kind of genitals doesn’t mean they have anything in common besides a penis.

TrudeauGirl · 18/04/2018 17:41

It all depends on what they like. It's the same as women, everyone is attracted to different things, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that jazz.

FloControl · 18/04/2018 17:45

Love and fidelity most of all. If those can come from a girl-next-door type of woman then so much the better. Specifically, there is one in particular who I still want. But she doesn't and isn't available anyway. Life is harsh sometimes.

Isn't this thread just so bloody god damn depressing it is 2018.......Confused

ItsASairFecht · 18/04/2018 17:46

I imagine they just want to be loved if you strip all the nonsense away. Much like you and I do.

Skiiltan · 18/04/2018 17:48

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

What is it that makes you think all men find the same features/adornments attractive?

hdh747 · 18/04/2018 17:49

They want to help women park their cars. Well according to the last thread I was reading...
And porn. And 'full assistance in a morning' apparently.
See I've leaned such a lot on MN.
Mine wants his footy team to win this week and chicken dinner to eat atm.
Other than that, not a bloody clue.

FreeMantle · 18/04/2018 17:50

Don't people normally go for people with a similar perceived attractiveness?
So wealth, health, happiness are added up and you find someone with a similar " score"?

BrokeAndBad · 18/04/2018 17:52

Anal BlushSad

FizzyGreenWater · 18/04/2018 18:12

Let's make a list,.

-Sandwiches
-Blow jobs
-To help women park their cars
-To be helped, fully and comprehensively, in the mornings
-Anal (if gay, they may decide they want Alan instead. Or rather, more likely both).

  • for the lawn to be dry enough to mow, really soon (my contribution, the result of up-to-the-minute ethnographic research).
FizzyGreenWater · 18/04/2018 18:13

Ooh missed one.

-to be loved, stripping the nonsense away (presumably 'the nonsense' equates to chinos and stretchy old t-shirt. Strip it away!!)

penguinsandpanda · 18/04/2018 18:22

My 11 year old DS wants steak. Older one also likes steak.

The80sweregreat · 18/04/2018 18:23

I have no idea really.

mimibunz · 18/04/2018 18:23

Who cares? Grin

penguinsandpanda · 18/04/2018 18:25

Just asked DS he wants a fan with same day delivery and thinks DH wants a bargain.

YetAnotherUser · 18/04/2018 18:30

It's important to have a girlfriend who cooks for you, a girlfriend who cleans for you, and girlfriend that meets your needs in the bedroom.

It's also paramount that these three women never meet.

StarCutterCookie · 18/04/2018 18:36

According to mine...

Peace and quiet
Sports team to win/dominate
Peace and quiet
Whore in the bedroom
Peace and quiet
Unlimited takeaway
Peace and quiet
Never to have to go clothes shopping
Peace and quiet

The80sweregreat · 18/04/2018 18:36

A woman to cancel the cheque.

CastielIsMyAngel · 18/04/2018 18:42

Mine probably wants to play on the Xbox in peace instead of listening to me constantly talking and wanting him to look at stuff when he's in a really very important battle or something equally boring
