I am a woman, and I am very content. However, what makes me content today is not necessarily what will make me content tomorrow.
The problem is often that men will think, "Aha! I've figured it out! I did this one time and it made her really happy. That's obviously what she wants." Then they always do that same thing--dinner at a certain restaurant, yellow daisies, a stuffed giraffe for her birthday, etc.
Men should listen closely to what women say they like right now (not six months, six days, or even six hours ago). Also, women need to be more up-front about what they want. Part of the reason I'm so content is that I tell my husband exactly what will make me happy. He doesn't have to guess, and I'm not disappointed that he can't read my mind.

Content starts inside a person. If a woman is not happy with who she is, she'll never be happy with who anyone else is either. To really be content, you need to understand what it is that MAKES you content (or discontent) and figure out the reasons behind that. When you know YOURSELF and you are brutally honest with yourself even when it's something you don't want to admit, you have taken the first step in having a wonderful life. Some women are content, some are not...it all depends on the person.

Media and marketing on the whole make women feel dissatisfied. I believe that yes women do find contentment ... when they mature and become accountable for themselves. You see, since women were little girls we were programmed to believe that we cannot be happy unless we marry and have a family. As a result most women depend on others for their very existance, and their happiness depend on other people and circumstances. Their looks and body (the ability to bear children) become their only power. This becomes a dead end cycle, leaving choices for options limited. We are also programmed to make decisions based on our emotions (otherwise the human race cannot continue to multiply). So most women hurry to marry and have children when they're young (before they discover self-love). Then they continue to sacrifice themselves for others (because that's what they've been programmed to believe, that this is their only purpose in life) ... only for them to eventually be forced to mature and evolve (children leave home, divorce or death of a spouse, etc.), to realize their self-worth and finally they become content!
It's not that men are blind, they just need to undertand ... because girls are raised differently than boys.

Women are content when they are getting what they want and need from a relationship. The hard thing is that every woman is different. just be you, and men are not blind. they just think different. Women need conversation then sex, men need sex then conversation, the trick is meeting in the middle, and everyone will be happy.

Yes, some men are blind or dumb (not all), but also some women are never content (not all). Go find a woman that is right for you and stop generalizing. Everyone is different!

WOmen who are never content is no fault of anyone but their own. I am a very content person mainly because I am perfectly happy being exactly who I am. SO if you ind a woman that is never content try to make her see what a wonderful person she is a happiness will follow

No, I gave everything I had to my wife for 12yrs. There was not a day went by that I didn't tell her or show her how much I loved her. I bought her anything she wanted. Did anything she wanted. Took are places. I was romantic, caring, loving, etc. I still love her now, even after we got separated and would still take her back. None of that was enough to keep our marriage together. Even our son was not enough. She left both of us.

Nope. And the first guy had it about right, too.
But you have to understand, we go through the same thing with you guys. We don't understand your minds, either.

be more content with yourself and women will be more content with you.
