Mamma Mia….

Oh men. You drive us crazy sometimes. You think you know what we want, but haven’t you figured out by now that we are creatures of contradictions? Let me lay it on out there for you who may be misinformed…

Oh yes, we love our bad boys. They make our blood flow and make us feel like a woman. But the fact remains, they’re fun to play around with and usually not good long term material. Forgive me for being candid.

The truth is, when we think long term settling down, we don’t want the bad boy. We want the man who shows us he loves us. We want the man who isn’t afraid to show that he has a sensitive side. We want the man we can depend on. We want the man who will wrap his arms around us and make the world disappear. We want the man who doesn’t understand why we cry for no reason, but accepts it and does silly stuff to make us laugh. We want the man who isn’t afraid to let the world know that he loves us. I’m not saying we want the chump who caters to our every whim or the sap who gets all googly-eyed 24/7. But we certainly don’t want the arrogant shallow asshole who thinks only of himself and tells you to get in where you fit in.

A smart man, a real man, know how to achieve this balance between being a bad boy and being a sensitive man. A real man knows how to treat a woman, and for your information it isn’t by criticizing her or putting her down. It isn’t by telling her that you know it makes her hot when you’re an asshole. That, my friend, is why your real woman will leave your ass for a real man. A real man knows that his woman is to be treasured and appreciated.

So really, you think you know what women want? Think again.
