So, what do women really want? In my opnion most women want a man who can balance between two things. He needs to be loving and kind, but strong.... not a pushover. He still needs to be a man...as in hardworking, honest, etc. He needs to be affectionate and romantic. Most men only care about their own sexual needs, and don't want to do this for a woman. However, the more affectionate men are, the more their wives will want to have sex with them. Most men will never understand that women need emotional affection to the same extent that they need sex. If a man ever complains about lack of sex, he should first ask himself....well have I done anything to make my wife feel loved lately?
