It’s no secret that men and women are different. It is no news that they look for different things in a relationship. They all want different things, different men for their different personalities. What do women want from men? There are as many answers as there are types of women: young, old, fat, skinny, talkative, quiet, beautiful, not so beautiful.

One thing that is clear is that everyone looks for a perfect relationship. Men are remarkable by their caution and carefulness. Women though are much more fussy. When it comes to choosing men, they not only have a greater list of requirements, they’re also keen to make the effort to help the guy change. But despite their striving for talking things through, most men still struggle to understand exactly what women need to be happy with them.

What do women want? They just want to be happy like us. They just have a different way to show it. If you learn their language, listen when you’d rather speak, hug instead of just walking away, tell the truth till it hurts, be a man she can depend on and love her like you love yourself. You’ll no longer ask what women want, they’ll be asking you what you want and give it to you.

Here are some true things that we can say safely women want from men.

Value. Women want to know that their man is someone other women would want. They want a certain “gotta have” quality about their man. This is why, when we go out with a girlfriend, women give us looks and always seem more interested. It’s annoying but true: the easiest way to get a girl, is to have one already!

Structure. A woman wants stability, balance, a sense of order. She wants someone she can rely on. You say you’re going to be home at 9:00, you be home at 9:00. You are late? Call. The hardest thing for us guys is to differenciate between support and total control. Creating a foundation and stability doesn’t mean trying to solve all the problems to the point you disempower the one you love. Your love is not a crutch but a bond. A bond where dependability is synonymous with trust.

Security. Women want to feel safe with a man. They want to know that everyting’s gonna be all right. This doesn’t mean you have to be huge and strong, or have millions in the bank. It just means you have to talk reassuringly to her, look after her safety, and assure her when she needs it that things are going to be OK.

Love . Love them most of all. Let it all out. Let it all out every day, every minute of every second of every day. Be love, crawl up inside of it and approach every problem with the question what would love do now? If you do this, fear will never enter your life.

Appreciation. Women DO want to feel appreciated. They just don’t want to be obsessed over. Guys, show interest in a woman, and make her feel beautiful and wanted – but don’t slave over her and make her feel like you can’t live without her. That’s just pathetic, and drives women away.

Don’t lie. A woman can forgive a lot of things but she won’t put up with a snake in the grass liar. If once she caught you that you lied her she would never have more trust in you. Lie to a woman you are dissing her. Tell the truth, you live to play another day.

Hug her. Hug her in the morning, hug her before you leave to work, e-mail her a hug and hug her ten times when you get home. You must make her feel loved and protected.

Smile. Women don’t like boring men .Be someone who smiles, who doesn’t take life too seriously, who lets loose. That shows a lot more value than a guy who’s stiff and serious – even if he is good looking or wealthy.

A woman want a man with a purpose. It’s not necessary to have a lot of money and a great car but they do want to be headed towards success. They do want to living up to your potential.

So, as a summary women like to be understood, happiness, respect and they also want honesty. But, as the time goes by, the woman wishes change because she is setting new goals. Why men can’t figure women out is because they are a masterpiece in progress.

More and more women are now taking center stage and carving their own niche in the business industry. Unlike before, women are now accepted and expected to perform well outside the confines of the home. More than just raising children and taking care of domestic chores, women are empowered to pursue their own dreams and prove themselves as being capable of succeeding in endeavors that were traditionally reserved for men. Today, many women are able to engage in various activities based on the career or lifestyle they choose. They are no longer “caged” in the house, consigned to wait for the husband’s arrival from work and to taking care of every need and want of their children. In almost every endeavor and discipline — in government, business, the academe, and other important fields of work — one can find women of stature and significance.

Still, even if it is quite unfair, women still do most of the work at home. Apart from their day job, they still face the challenge of balancing and fixing their schedule in order to accommodate the children and the husband, not to mention her relatives and friends. Aside from doing domestic chores, a career woman is also expected to attend her children’s school activities; do the laundry, clean the house, balance the family budget, do the marketing, and all other errands in between.

Given their hectic work schedules and the ever-present demands at home, it is no surprise that many women are tired and stressed out. A typical working woman with a family spends her morning preparing lunch meals for the children, doing fast errands, and preparing for work–all in a span of an hour. The career and home “juggling act”, therefore, makes a woman’s health a very serious issue that cannot be neglected.

In dealing with a woman’s health, it is essential to know what would be good and bad in terms of food consumption, exercise, leisure and relaxation. Not all women have the time to go the spa and have a massage. Not all women have the time or funds to travel to take a nice vacation or spend time in some tropical beach resort. For many busy women, taking time for relaxation is now a luxury they cannot afford to take.

Still, there are simple ways for women to get relaxation without letting down their family or risking their career. Women can feel relaxed by finding comfort in religion or spirituality. By simply praying and asking for God’s help and guidance, this will somehow affect how women see things, and would make them somehow relieved from daily stress. Another approach to relaxation is for women is to try and forget grudges, and forgive those who have made mistakes. Studies have shown that having a forgiving attitude helps lower a woman’s blood pressure which is beneficial for their health. A peaceful bedtime habit will also lessen the feelings of stress. A good hot shower and a soothing bath scent will give relaxation in no time. Vacations can also help in providing relaxation for busy women. A simple special happening in the community can make her forget about all stressful situations on work, relationships, and money-related issues. Women are drawn to the soothing relaxation powers of scented candles. A bubble bath with sage or sandalwood scents will do the trick, especially while listening to relaxing sounds or reading a good book. After work, women can lighten up their mood by relaxing for a few minutes before setting up dinner. Playing a soothing CD while doing chores can be helpful in fighting stress. As a woman, it is also beneficial to experience good sex since this is a stress reliever in itself, making her feel a whole lot better afterwards. All these simple ways to relax at home can do wonders for a woman’s health. By doing simple home stress relievers, women can recharge and achieve more at home and in the office.
