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

Dangerousmonkey I have norovirus 😣 can we wallow in self pity together?

To be able to exercise in the park completely undisturbed by wolf whistles / chat up lines / unsolicited advice. I enviously watched a man doing this today and thought how strange it is that that's probably a completely normal experience for him.
Also a clean house without any mice in it Blush

Sides split

I copied and shamelessly posted thaicurrys thread headline - what do men want? Because we are very deserving of our own thread.
Why should the men have all the fun??? Wine

Someone to sort out my house and garden

Make up that doesn't have toddlers finger prints in.
When I sit down with a cup of tea I'd like to be able to drink it too.
To wake up naturally, not shocked awake by my 2 year old tickling my foot with his ice cold finger tips at 5am.
For my kids to not immediately trash a room I've just spent 1 hour cleaning.
To put my feet up, have an early night and actually feel like I've slept Grin

I honestly don't think I'm asking for much.

Effective contraception with no side effects.

GilligansKitchenIsland if you looked like me no one would wolf whistle you.

I want to reach the age of 100 and be able to think 'Well, that was a bloody good life'.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 18/04/2018 20:17

Dresses with pockets
Skirts with pockets
Gin

Same as men really.

A sports car.
A brand new tv.
A washing machine.
A trip to Florida.
A microwave oven.
An outdoor swing set.
£100 cash prize.
And a cuddly toy.

I would like to win the lottery and be rich. This is my plan B. Unfortunately I rarely remember to buy a ticket and if I do never check it so this is unlikely. I am very aware that money apparently does not buy happiness but being a widowed lone parent, working as a senior child protection social worker is not always a massive barrel of laughs. I am prepared to take the risk of this change in circumstances.

I think your observation skills are spot on side! I had hoped someone would notice 😇

Melania could fuck The Trudeau and then we'd really have some click bait.

On a more personal level I'd like to be able to eat 3000 cals per day and be a size 8.

Mightymucks · 18/04/2018 20:55

A full time nanny and a rampant rabbit

Titsywoo · 18/04/2018 20:58

To be able to eat as much as I like and never get fat and drink as much as I like without ever having a hangover (also not having health implications from either). That's about it really Grin

cantstopfuckingeating · 18/04/2018 21:11

I want to eat chocolate and drink wine without getting fat. That is all.

Strugglingtodomybest · 18/04/2018 21:28

World peace and unconditional love.

Nevercallmehun · 18/04/2018 21:40

A good sleep.

CountFosco · 18/04/2018 21:52

Sensibly? Another vote for this dismantlement of the patriarchy so my daughters don't have to grow up with the same sexist bullshit their foremothers have had to deal with.

Wishfufilment? Someone to look after the kids for a weekend so DH and I could go away to a nice hotel and spend 2 days shagging / drinking nice wine / eating good food / dancing to good music / reading good books / listening to Radio 4 / watching a good play. We have no-one to do this and have had 1 night away from the kids since our eldest (now 10) was born.

CrackingEggs · 18/04/2018 21:53

A room of my own and £ 500 (a week?)!

strongerthan · 18/04/2018 21:58

A kebab

@summerinthecountry oh YY a pelvic floor!!!

UpstartCrow · 18/04/2018 22:03

Painted nails are top of my list, an end to patriarchy and poverty would also be nice.

What do women really want?
UnRavellingFast · 18/04/2018 22:17

Equal pay for equal jobs.
Not to get aggro because I'm a woman driving (very well btw)
Men not to blame reasonable
female anger on periods or the menopause.
Men not to blame a woman going off him on her being gay/frigid/fucked up/getting ideas from other Feminists!!!!!
A truly efficient robot hoover and lawnmower.
My dcs to have less angst at school
Enough money not to worry.
A relationship with an emotionally mature, kind person.
My pet to get better Sad
