Confused

Just had a few guys in my office debate the article "straight talking".

It seems not only African brothers feel this way. One of the guys came up with a very serious question and i hope the ladies in blogville will help me with an answer.

Which kind of Man do women really want? Do you want the man that is a 90's man; doing things the "equal way"? Or do you want the man of the 60's? Opening doors, paying for meals, pulling out your seat and all the rest?

I suspect you guys will like a hybrid then this leads me to the next point made by another colleague.

When a man does not cry, he is told he is not sensitive. When he does, he is to weak.

When a man asks what the lady wants, he can not take control. When he does, he is dominating.

Do you want equality in everything or just the things you chose?

So many questions are being thrown at me by colleagues but i am not strong enough to type all of them (stomach is still dancing the mambo).

We simply ask the ladies, in simple english, tell us what you want.

Well, we don't exactly want anything in particular in a man. One thing is certain, relationships work either way it simply depends on whether the two people involved are willing to make compromises or whether they are prepared to ignore the "unecessary" arguments and spend more time appreciating what they have. You would only agree with me if you've lost someone that really meant something to you...

Hope some men would understand that the moanings and bickerings that come from women are just the usual

thank you very much anonymous. while i believe in the issues of compromises, i feel that certain things should not find their way into a relationship. any form of abuse or disrespect have no place in a relationship.

while you might view arguments as unnecessary, it also helps to build a relationship as long as it is kept respectful.

i have lost someone i care about so i understand the drama of arguments but while moanings and bickerings are usual for women, spare a thought for the men that it gives migraines to.

thank you for your contribution.

When i said unecessary arguments, i actually meant the arguments that needn't be
