Does anyone, including women, really know what they want? In an ever-changing world, how does anyone, male or female, know what they want?

Being a woman, I will be the first to say that personally, that there is no concrete example of what I want. I want what I want and when I get it, I want something else. "Bigger and better" is my motto. Not to say that I don't appreciate or treasure what I do have, but when I reach a goal, I set another. I feel many, if not all women share the same opinion, despite how they chose to word it!

There are so many factors to consider when analyzing women. Our emotions are the strongest catalyst to our consistently changing minds. For example, a women constantly nags their boyfriend for that verbal reassurance that we all hold so dear. Her boyfriend, who is with her 24/7 feels that she should already know how he feels about her because of the time he puts in with her. But, out of love, he tries to compliment her more, tell her he loves her a bit more, becomes so focused on the verbal aspect that he starts to slack on the physical. What do you think will happen? That women WILL have something to say about what she is now lacking! Hey, no one said we were fair creatures!

The biggest difference between men and women are our thinking patterns. Men tend to think of the outcome more than they do the journey. Women...well we base our assumptions on the occurrences of the entire trip. Men see it as they made it to the destination...women complain on the hours lost due to him not stopping for directions! Point proven!

Although the alternating minds and wants of a women are annoying and repetitive, this is how we are built. It is our human nature. In a perfect world, a woman's changing mind recognizes new doors for her strong male to open. It is part of the balance we all strive for in life. If we wanted the same thing all the time, life would be pretty mundane wouldn't it? Women would accomplish much less than they do now and men, well men would get bored a lot faster than they do now!

Life would run a lot more smoothly, in my opinion, if both men and women changed their perspective on the topic. I cannot stress the facts enough. We know exactly what we want...we just always want more than what we have. It is a process of elimination which runs concurrent with the saying, "the grass isn't always greener on the other side, but it sure does look that way from your own yard!"
