Why do women complain that men only want one thing?

Question

They complain that men only want to get into their pants. But when you think about it... if todays women offered men something more valuable than sex, maybe they would look for more than sex.

With all the feminization of society these days, what else to women offer that men can count on?

But neither can you "gefyonex"

Answer 1

You raise an excellent point in your question. I believe that it is because although they (women) claim to be superior in their powers of observation and moral values (and so on and so on), the truth is stranger than their fiction:
The reality is, they're so narrow-minded, they are simply incapable of disconnecting the myth that men want only one thing (sex). They are somehow unable to observe that men want companionship, friendship, a shoulder to lean on, to have their own shoulder leaned on, someone to share laughs & giggles with...sometimes, just a simply friendship.
If they would step back and make an effort to understand the male pysche (instead of assuming they already know it all), they would learn a LOT about us. We do feel pains, we do get hurt, we do bleed when attacked and we do want mroe than plain old sloppy sex.
All it needs, is for women to stop believing that they're superior beings and accept they do not know us as well as they think they do.

If they could do that, they'd soon stop focusing on their sexuality as a means of trapping a guy into a relationship. Why do the wear the revealing clothes (tight skirts/pants, low cut tops, exposing their clevage, etc.) only to complain if a guy dares spend more than 0.01second looking in their direction.

Answer 2

Reading both the questions and answers, I just don´t understand why people supposedly concerned with the equality of sexes insist on discussing narrow-minded clichés that only perpetuate a useless and hurtful battle. I don´t think men are only after one thing ( although they may find it difficult to multitask sometimes...;)
although I´ve met quite a few that are very unsubtantial and disrespectful... but that it just the thing... they are shallow PEOPLE, just like the women that advertise themselves without shame and use their sexuality as currency.
it is not a matter of gender, or historical blame, but the inconsistency of human nature. So ladies, don´t be so distrustful, and gentlemen, try to look a little harder for what lies under the surface...
And stop trying to justify our character flaws with everyone else´s.

Answer 3

why else would you care what someone looks like unless you want to fvck them.....the physical is the first thing we see when approaching someone, so why else would looks matter?

Answer 4

There is a difference between men and women. Women almost always associate emotion, love etc.., with sex. On the other hand men don't. Men often have sex just for sex sake with little emotion what so ever. No matter what a woman says, it means more to her. They minimize their feelings or try to play it off to save face when they realize you don't feel the same.
Perhaps women are more open sexually but if you take your own logic an reverse it, perhaps they are more sexually active because that is what they think men want. (In my experience it usually is.)

Answer 5

Not necessary, but if the same thing is being complained over again, it become nagging. Depends on the men, some men can tolerate it but some can't tolerate.

Answer 6

All women don't say that. Men do want more than sex, much more, and I'm aware of it. The difference is that they don't tend to talk as much about what they really want: love, companionship, honesty, etc. as women do.

Answer 7

We all keep forgetting that most women speak or talk in an indirect manner.Try and get a Yes/No answer from them on anything related to them and see for yourself the squirming ,dodging ,delaying and ambiguity and also how many times a 'Yes' reply is changed in to a 'No' and vice verse in only within few seconds. Therefore,what women are apparently complaining is actually a perpetual and perennial reminder to all the men that they should Forever keep wanting it (sex).This is their most successful USP(unique selling proposition).Ask any marketing expert and he shall tell you about it's potency and efficacy.Complaint??Oh,really?

Answer 8

This is true -- I have thought about it a lot. In most contemporary Western relationships, what does a woman offer?

Men these days have to meet women's high standards before she chooses him -- makes a lot of money, intelligent, good-looking, sweet, "cares for her feelings", spiritual connection, emotional connection, psychological connection, love connection, high social-status, talented, funny, witty, charming, good in bed, plays guitar, plays piano, can sing, artist, writer, poet, loves to take long walks on the beach, tall, strong, powerful, athlete, buys a large diamond ring, can pamper her and shower her with gifts, etc. Often times, a man has to meet all of these women's expectations.

Here's what women tend to bring to the table in return -- be pretty. Also, possess a vagina and breasts. A good personality is nice, too. Which, last I checked are prerequisites that women are born with and therefore doesn't have to "work" for.

I know women who have no skill in anything or very much to offer intellectually, and their only ofference is sex -- yet, they want athletic, funny, smart men that make a lot of money and is a talented musician.

So what is a woman offering to men other than sex and looks? Why is it that a lot of women are untalented but want talented men? Why are there women that don't make a lot of money but want men that drive fancy cars and own a big house?

Answer 9

When (some) men value sex above all else, it is hard to offer something more valueable.

That you cannot come up with one thing more valuable than sex that women have to offer tells me a lot.

Answer 10

There is no pleasing some women. If a man comes on to them they call him a sex-maniac; dirty beast; etc.. If he ignores them they think he must be queer.
