Men unveiled

(continues...)

What kind of personality do we look for?

Well, beauty is on the eye of the beholder, but most of us look for a well mixed cocktail of sex, tenderness and character. We don't like women who are not sexual, we don't like women who are not affectionate, we don't like women who don't have a personality, we don't like women who behave too childishly, we don't like women who think we won't notice you are with us just for our money or position, we don't like women who want us just to fill their existential emptiness. Well, actually, we can like them if they have big, round, firm, nice and good pair of buttocks and/or breasts, but we are never taking them seriously.

It's a matter of natural selection, I think. I'm curious, by the way... Do you really think we don't notice when you approach us only for our money? Don't reply. Let's move to another topic now.

Is sex everything men want from women?

Huh? OK, this is a hard one, so let me think... you see... mm... mm... mmmmm... mmmmmmmm... mmmmm... To be honest, not really. If you read some of the above paragraphs again and you remember what you always have heard from your friends about men, you will understand. For us, it is hard to express our feelings orally because, if heard, that can be considered a sign of weakness by other men and pull the trigger of the chain of thoughts I described in the first part of this lengthy article. We use physical contact to do it because that way we don't (necessarily) have to speak too much. Touching, kissing, hugging, licking, sucking, biting and etcetera you, girls (a.k.a. making love) is one of the best ways we have found to express ourselves without getting exposed to being deemed weak creatures because of our feelings.

Moreover, when you women do not want to have sex with us, we do not feel as sexually frustrated as you usually think (well, sometimes yes, but not always); we may feel quite sad because, believe it or not, rejecting sex you are rejecting our need of expressing love.

So time has come for a free tip: If you have to reject us in a given moment because you have one of those "marvelous headaches", take the initiative when you are feeling better. We will appreciate it.

Yes, we care about you, not just sex. It would be cruel to just use you to satisfy ourselves. We are not used to expressing it so often, but we love you. Moreover, if I cared just about sex, I would not waste my money and time keeping a relationship with you, don't you think? A prostitute is cheaper than a girlfriend or a spouse, take that for granted. If I am with you, it is because I like or love YOU... not just your body.

What's so wrong with our hygiene?

Nothing. We don't consider it as important as you do and that's it. Our minds work outwards>inwards, remember? This doesn't mean we don't care about being clean or healthy. It means we put it aside until we have some free time to care about it. On the other hand, accept it... You somehow like it too. We appear manly to you when we are sweating.

Why do successful women, or women with a higher economical or cultural level scare us?

We fear that, if she is too successful, a time will come in which she will feel she does not need us any more and leaves with another more-successful guy who will provide her with something we cannot give. Did you notice the verb need over there? We are still used to think about our providers' role, as you see. I know that thought can be sometimes ridiculous, but that's the way we have been raised to think and it's hard to change it.

What hurts more, the fact you have been cheated or the fact you have been compared?

Cruel question... The fact we have been compared. Men are very used to love and trust their women to the point of being ready to sacrifice their lives for them against robbers, thieves, or other kinds of offenders. The effects of cheating with us are usually devastating if you take this into account. Compared only to a best friend's betrayal.

Do we really want to marry a virgin?

Forty years ago, maybe. Not now. We do know women who lose their virginity at the age of 15 average and we can live with that because it is one of us who takes your virginity away, anyway.
