I can't speak for all women, I can only speak for myself.
Love, Family, Fulfillment, Joy, and to make a difference -- these are some of the things that I'd like from life.

It's an age-old question---and half the time, it seems as though even women themselves are confused about the answer. Why? It's simple, really. All women are not alike, and they do not all want the same things from life.
In decades past, feminists burned their bras and fought for the equality of women. In their wake, it became de rigueur for women to work. Life as a homemaker, it seemed, became a thing of the past (never mind that there were actually countless women who preferred to stay at home and who had never wanted to be dragged into the workplace to begin with).
The generations who followed the Baby Boomers frequently had two married parents who worked---or two divorced parents who worked. These were generations of children often entrusted to nannies, daycare, preschool, and after-school programs. As a result, they supposedly grew up hip and savvy, the women among them providing the impetus for such things as hit television shows and chick lit.
Today's Woman, we heard, was no longer nearly as interested in marriage and happily-ever-after endings, but, rather, in her career and her journey of own personal growth. Yes, eventually, perhaps Mr. Right would come along---and then Today's Woman would have it all...a career, a husband, children, and the perfect home.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that is indeed what many 29-year-old women want. What does surprise me is the constant assumption by some that all women are alike and want the same things from life. The truth is that, regardless of age, we're not, and we don't.
What is (and has always been) important is that, as women, we have the freedom to choose what we want from life---whether it's a career, a family, or both, or neither---and that we respect other women's choices, too, even if they're not our own.

A very honest, trustworthy not to soft, not to tough, someone whos not afraid to stand up and say this is my lady and some one to spend time with them(and not when its convenient for you)
Ultimately women want someone to love them unconditionally!
