Does this chrystalize the difference between what men and women want?
I copied this from a previous answer to a question:
"Men just want a close companion to share adventures with and have sex with. Women want some prince charming perfect God-man that doesn’t exist."
in the marital context…… generalization.
guys know they are loved, but need to know they are respected
women know they they are respected but need reinforcement on the love. (does not infer sex // talking about connection, romance, friendship)

Every individual wants something different. You can’t say that all women want this and all men want that, because it’s simply not true. I’m a woman and I would sooner live in a tree than have some Prince Charming.
EDIT TO JACKAL: (sigh) What you don’t know . . .

Women want compassion love, someone to listen to them and share with. Women want men to love them for them not for SEX! Men in general well seem like they want a mom, a maid a cook and a hooker!

Not sure that any answer will ever sum up the difference of the sexes. Polar opposites in most areas, especially thinking and feeling. Logic vs. Emotion. It seems that the quote you’re referencing for this question is focusing more on the Physical vs. Ideal.
I’d have to disagree that women want some prince charming perfect God-man that doesn’t exist. I say that most of time women don’t even know what they want, and when they think they know what they want they later find that it’s not what they wanted after all. Talk about a mouthful of ideals and indecision. Imagine that thought process, it must be exhausting, confusing, unstable and unpredictable. I find Hillary Clinton to be a perfect example of this.
Bottom line is that there are too many differences to narrow it down to one mere sentence.

This is a case of a person assuming what the opposite sex wants based on media messages.
Real women have varied desires, and while some of them do desire whatever the media feeds them, others have independent minds and set their own criteria for what makes an ideal mate.

Very true, no matter how you explain it. There are always variations to the same answer, still it rounds back to the same thing. Men are driven by adventure and sex, women are driven by companionship and the need to communicate. A man’s way of communicating his feelings is through sex, a women’s is through talking.

What a person wants is not dependent upon gender. A person’s wants vary by individual.
Sweeping generalizations are often inaccurate and show ignorance.

I don’t know if it’s that simple but I agree that women’s requirements are waaaay higher

You really seem to be a concrete thinker. Maybe you should ask why you need to define men and women in such black and white terms, and place each gender under such broad generalizations. It’s kind of ridiculous. You seem very confused about women. Maybe we’re not as different from you as you think.

I think most women also want what you said the men want. I was thrilled to find my sweet husband, and we were both keen on getting married and settling down together. Some men and women want casual realtionships, too – but I don’t think women really want someone perfect any more than men do. There are plenty of overly picky people out there, but I don’t really know that I’d agree that they’re all women.
