I'm not trying to say that I know what women want better than women do. I'm just saying that women (and men, too) often think that they want something and insist that they want something, but their actions indicate otherwise. I agree with the person who wrote that my article should really have been called "What People Want". The only reason I picked on women in particular are 1) Being a heterosexual man, what women want is a topic of particular interest to me; and 2) Women seem to be a lot more vocal than men about not being treated the way they want by the opposite sex. This second point becomes a source of frustration to men like me who try to please their women by giving them what they ask for, only to have it backfire. __ "It seldom turns out the way it does in the song" Seth Jackson dec-curium!jackson
