What Do Women Need?

This is from a man named David Shade ( http://www.masterful-lover.com/ ), who teaches men how to satisfy women:
_______________________________________

Women may not know it, and most of them certainly cannot articulate it, but women need four things in order to be fulfilled.

There Are Four Important Things A Woman Needs

First, she needs to feel appreciated for the unique individual that she is. She needs to feel special, unlike any other woman. And she needs to know that her man supports her in her endeavors.

Second, she needs to feel that deep intimate emotional connection. She needs to have that emotional intimacy with her man. It's a connection she shares only with him.

Third, she needs to feel like a woman. She needs to feel beautiful, sexy, and feminine. She needs to enjoy all those things that comes with being a woman.

And finally, she needs hot passionate sex. She needs to be seduced, enticed, teased, and satisfied, over and over again. She needs to experience new things, in new ways, including fantasies and roles. It makes her feel alive.

If Only She Could Have All That She Needs

A woman is most fulfilled when she is with a man that she has everything with. When all four things are there, it makes each thing even more powerful. That is when she is with a man that she is wildly crazy about.

Imagine if she could meet a man who easily met all of her needs. A man who made her feel appreciated. A man who evokes a deep powerful emotional connection with her. A man who makes her feel feminine and womanly and sexy. A man who gives her hot passionate sex. It's the kind of thing women dream about.

So, what do you think? Agree, disagree? The interesting thing is these are almost identical to the major needs of a man in an intimate relationship/partnership. Well, except you have to substitute "man" for "woman" obviously. :-)

Believe it or not, the hardest of these for a lot of men to see is the fourth one: hot, passionate sex. Due to what we were taught growing up and because of our previous experiences, it's hard for many of us to imagine that women actually WANT sex! And even when we know in our logical minds that you do, there's still that voice in the back of our minds that says women are too pure to enjoy wild sex and fantasies. We also have trouble grasping that what women really want is a man who takes the lead and is his own man. After all, we've always heard (starting with our mothers) that we should defer to women and put them on a pedestal.

Your comments are welcome. And I highly recommend David's site and ebook if you've got a partner who is clueless about how to really make you feel like the woman you want to be.

Happy Father's Day - Maybe

Father's Day is a good time to remember that men, just like women, have a need to feel appreciated. In fact, for many people, it's the only day of the year a man DOES feel appreciated and then only if he's a father! And, unfortunately, even then some of us are left wanting. I think the last two years my teenage daughter ignored the occasion completely and that hurts, take my word for it!

If your father is alive, celebrate him. If he's not, as mine is not, remember him with love and recall the good times. If you're married with kids, show your husband what it means to you to have him as the father to your children. Encourage the kids to shower him with love and appreciation.

Now here's an idea I bet very few people think of and consider doing: If you're divorced and have kids, do something to show your ex-husband - the father of your children - that you appreciate his efforts at BEING a father. A funny thing about men (heck, women are the same) is that if we're shown that we're appreciated for our efforts it makes us try that much harder to do a good job! Whether it's at work, in a relationship or marriage or being a dad, encouragement is like a magic potion for our souls. It's much-needed fuel to keep us going.

I like to say that love is something we have inside; it's not something someone brings us, it's something they bring OUT of us. And the reason we like being loved and in love is what it brings out of us is our best and we like the warm, fuzzy, glowing feeling of being the best person we can be. The same is true with feeling valued and appreciated: it brings out our best characteristics and makes us WANT to give back, to try that much harder to be the best we can be. It also makes us feel a whole lot better about the person who made us feel that way. The point here is, if you want an amicable relationship with your ex, the father of the kids you both love, make it happen on this special day. Give him a call and tell him that no matter what, you appreciate him for being a father and for giving you the wonderful opportunity to be a mother to those kids.

To my fellow dads out there, Happy Father's Day!

Introduction

Do you wish you understood men?

Fact: We men wish we could understand women, too! And boy, do
we ever wish you understood us! But if you're like most women, most of your
life you've been hearing from other women what men want, how we think and
what we're like. And if those women are like most women, that's
where they got it, too!

Do you think maybe you could have more healthy and fulfilling relationships with men if you understood us?

Fact: If you learn to understand the truth about men, you can
toss out the common ideas and stereotypes you've always heard and really
relate to real people.

Do you wish you could communicate better with men and we could
understand you better?

Fact: Communication is usually what will make or break a
relationship and communicating is so much easier if we understand each
other's languages.

Have you been frustrated most of your life because you can't figure
out how men think?

Fact: Men can't figure out how women think, either. And since
our brains are different it's pretty unlikely men or women will
figure it out without help from each other.

Are you confused about what men really want?

Fact: Most men want the same thing you do - a healthy, happy
and fulfilling relationship.

I know, that last one probably isn't what you've always heard. But it's
the truth! We have emotional needs, too, and they can only be satisfied by a
mate.
