I'm sure to be
downvoted for this trivially short piece, but I feel that at some point, after all the warm
intellectualizing above (nicely said,
no offense please, folks!)
the truth must be heard:
What men want in a woman is their penis.
I'm not worried about the votes, but it seems I've offended some people, and that was never my intention. Here's a belated attempt at an explanation:
If you take the phrase "what men want in a woman" in its accepted meaning as a figure of speech, then of course the other WUs are much more germane to the topic than mine. But if you decide to be pig-headedly literal about it as I did when I saw the title, and to throw political correctness aside, then... well, let's say that I believe I'm speaking for a large number of men, though not necessarily for all.
In almost a decade of living together, I have revealed to my girlfriend a lot about what makes us men tick. She read this WU and she laughed! She knows it's the truth, but she's fine with it. I hope most of my other female readers can take this WU in the same spirit.
