What Women Want

     I used to think I could classify all women as being pretty much the same and wanting the same things, but I don't think that's possible. I suppose there are many things women share in common, but each person is so individualized that not all women are the same. We are influenced by our culture and women who are raised in different parts of the world believe different things.
     I recently watched a show about sex appeal and if some of what they say is true it is a sad commentary on women and society. They assigned different men's pictures with different income levels and those who had higher incomes were found to be more attractive. Sad indeed that a person should be loved for the amount of money they make. Obviously we all need to make a living, but what are material things such as a fine home if love is not found within the walls of that home.
     I have come to the conclusion that I don't know what other women want, but I do know what I desire. I want to be with someone I can bare my soul with and not be rejected when I am less than perfect. I want my partner to bare their soul with me, I want to know the one I love intimately, to share things with each other that are just between us.
     I never want to stop looking at my love's face and not be thrilled when I see it. Everyone says love settles down, I say why should love settle down, why shouldn't you be as excited to be with that person as in the very first days of your love. Love should grow deeper, but never settle down. I want the person I love to be on my mind and my heart. I want to think about my love and smile even during the routine of the day. This is what being in love should be. And I have come to the conclusion that if it is not that way, at least for me, it is not being in love. Falling in love is a term that I used to make fun of, but come to find out it is true.
