So... What is it do men want, anyway?

The discussion on the radio station this morning was pretty interesting. They had the host(s) (?) of the TV show What Women Want as their guest. She mentioned that men wanted nothing more than being loved, getting a little bit of TLC and being fed. The men, on the other hand, mentioned that men wanted nothing more from women than obedience! (Gasp!)

Well, in a way I sort of understand what the men say. However, as a modern woman, I would not blindly follow my man. As a daughter and a wife respectively, yes, a certain level of obedience is expected; but... ladies, come on... would you be 'obedient' to a boyfriend? I suppose the definition of 'obedient' differs from person to person, but personally, I feel that a boyfriend is just that - a boy who is a friend, nothing more, nothing less. You have no 'ties' to him; thus, you're not obligated to follow his 'instructions' to the letter. That would make him a most controlling boyfriend, and you wouldn't want that, would you?

As for females point of view... I sort of agree with what she said up there, the big question is though, is how you do them. For me, a relationship is good and healthy when both parties' needs and wants (not just the man's, or just the woman's, for that matter) are met. (Hey, women love to be fed also!) I also believe that a woman can be strong and subservient at the same time. Sometimes, your husband's air muka is more important that your needs at that time, so give him a little break. But make sure he returns the favor! :)
