What do (Wo)Men want?

A frequently asked question that seem not to have a universally acceptable answer, for example we all know that 2 + 2 is 4 in Uzbekistan as well as in Nigeria but this question is different. The answers vary just like our faces and the more answers we get from it the more likely we're to be more confused, all because it's really the wrong question to ask, especially when making vital personal decisions.

Incase you've forgotten, let me remind you again that people want different things at different points in time and in some cases, from different kinds or classes of people, therefore using a classification mainly supported by external views only puts your emotional health at risk.

Don't ask what wo(men) want, ask yourself what you want, then you can narrow it down to your needs. If you can identify how to love, how you want to be Ioved and take a decision on the next step you're half-way there.

One of the challenges we have as young people is that we're so engrossed with providing solutions and giving opinions about the lives of public figures than we are about ourselves, sometimes I feel we hide behind that faux feeling of importance to run away from our reality.

When our weaknesses hit us and we don't have answers or proper reactions to it we take the next route to any distraction that appears, finding fulfillment and a sense of worth in becoming experts in the lives of others.

Facing our fears, confronting our reality and acknowledging that nature and the society is configured along particular lines is a major step in realizing our true potentials.

You might argue this, but your "spec" is most probably a creation of the media that has enveloped your mind, a huge backside that sits on all your problems and proffers no solution is of no use to you in the long run and so is a broad, well-chiseled chest that you can't rest your head on but beats you up after a little provocation. I'm just trying to say you should take it easy on 2nd party prescriptions. Learn your ways.

From time immemorial, man has been desperately searching for an all-in-one package of what wo(men) want to no avail, the search continues.

What do you really want?
