What do women want ?

That's the question that's been around for ages, right?
Frankly, I don't know what's the whole fuss about. People say that women are from Venus and men are from Mars, but I tend to believe that both are from Earth and I have science to back me up... :D
I honestly do believe that men and women ultimately want the same things in life.
I think that any human being regardless of having xx or xy chromosomes, pursues Love and Success (and a number of other things) in life in order to achieve a sense of happiness and fulfillment.

Whether it's a stay at home mom who wants to succeed in raising her children well and taking care of her family or a business man who wants build an empire, I think the accomplishment itself provides a sense of happiness and satisfaction... different fields/means, same final outcome.

Most people expect to find love in relationships, which by turn makes them feel happy and fulfilled.
But in order for that to work, their spouse and family must be their absolute first priority. Which is often missed by men or women who let their careers take over...

Since the post is about what women want... Here's what I think women want to feel and have in a relationship. They want the: understanding, patience, support, respect, appreciation, growth, sharing, listening, care, empathy, proactivity, kindness, affection, trust, honesty, a soft spot to fall to, acceptance, openness, integrity, commitment, affirmation and sacrifice... that is love.
And I mean all of them in a give and take manner because love is a verb (act and be acted upon). It never works when you stay on one side of the verb. " I listen to you" has to be paired with "you listen to me", "I respect you" with "you respect me".

So, what do women want (in relationships that is) ?
I think they want to be present on both sides of the verbs .... not left on the left :)
