The Way to a Man's Heart

It has often been said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. This may be true for some, however, I have found that for most of the men in my life, the way to a man's heart lies a short distance below his stomach.

For most of my women friends, having a relationship with a guy, a emotional and intellectual connection, is far more critical than performance in bed. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Sometimes all any of us are looking for is a short, temporary physical relationship. We are physical beings, animals with physical needs. We need physical comfort and touch. We need validation that we are physically attractive and desirable to others. We need a way to release the stress in our lives. We need to feel good physically. A good old romp in the hay now and then provides us with that.

But, most of the women I know want more than an occasional physical fling. We want the emotional and intellectual connection. We want to be romanced, to be treated like the most special woman in the world, to be brought flowers, to dress up and go out, to be treated to a nice dinner or evening of dancing. We want to be romanced, we want conversation, we want to share laughter. We want to feel a special connection with a man who genuinely likes us for our personalitiy. Only then do we want to head to the bedroom.

Do guys understand this? I think they "know" that this is what most women want, but I am not sure they understand us. If it was up to the guys, I think most would like to eat dessert first.
