What women want?

It’s a title of a movie, about an ad man(Mel Gibson) that receives the miracle gift of hearing women’s thoughts. I thought of it every time I wished I knew what the woman in front of me was thinking. Another show, this one on TV, “Lie to me” is about a guy that can read body language so well that he can tell whether you’re lying or not. He can also read most of the gestures made through body language. So, that show actually says that if you pay enough attention you can tell what a woman is thinking by her body language.

There’s only one problem. The difference between what a woman is thinking and what she really wants is huge. Well, for the sake of argument, let’s say most of them. No man, in full capacity of his mind, can say that he knows what women want. Most of the time, because women themselves don’t know.

They wanna be happy, but not too happy, it bores them. They wanna be loved, but not too loved, it scares them. They wanna be pushed, but not too far, it will enrage them. They want space, but not too much, they will drift. They want money, but not too much, they can’t feel loved that way. And so on, and so on…

Some may say that men are dogs for trying to grant women’s wishes for a while, until they may eventually be themselves bored, for trying to make their “target”-woman special, even though the other “dogs” might think different of him, and he feels stranded as on a deserted island. Somehow, that “dog” thought he might have found someone special… perhaps, or… he might just follow the “target” until he receives “food”.
