I think men who think that men only want one thing and that's sex are emotionally stunted and need therapy.


Exactly. They make lousy partners.

If men think that's going to make a marriage, or it's the most important aspect it's no wonder many have terrible relationships. No different than the women who only care about his paycheck and being a high wage earner. A lot of dysfunctional people not understanding THEY are the problem.

Don't you know, OP? Men only want sex and they have to pry it from their frigid wives.

So it’s mainly about sex as OP asked?

I have been married for 15 years, and there are some times that I think the whole marriage, kids, house thing is all just about assuring regular access to that one thing.

I want an exclusive, serious relationship with a woman. And I want lots of sex in that relationship.

There are different kinds of men. Some of them have no clue how to have close bonds or allow themselves to be seen as vulnerable by accepting emotional support. Some women are like this too, but it’s more common in men.

I don’t think men only want one thing...but I think there’s one specific thing that almost every man really, really wants.

I believe many men would say I can get that from somebody other than a wife or a significant other.

Yes hotness and sex are a very high priority.

The OP is talking about what men want, not need. So do men want that one thing, or do they ‘need’ it?

I’ve heard this phrase used time and again to describe what men look for in a relationship. It’s used by so many people of different ages, genders, cultural backgrounds, etc. This makes me question the truth of this statement.

Men, how accurate is this statement?
