What Women Want: Conversations on Desire, Power, Love and Growth

Product Information

Find activities that you enjoy where you’re likely to meet the kinds of women you’re interested in. What do they do for fun? What does their social circle look like? Where would your hobbies overlap? The author says that insecure people volunteer explanations for their actions or motives. Telling people why they did what they did or said what they said.

There is nothing wrong with the understanding that women are on average more valuable than average men. I thought I was getting a dating guide, but it turns out this is an anthology of psychotherapy case study journeys. I had read two similar books before (from Cozolino) and I find them fascinating. Definately worth it if you want to learn about life, and though I am a man, I could definately identify with all the people and situations. Especially* valuable in this book are the insights into female thinking and behavior. I actually read this book to get clarification on why I react so strongly to certain things that men do. And it was very comforting, actually, to know that there are legitimate, scientific reasons that I react a certain way. If you as a man understand WHY she is thinking or doing whatever it is she's thinking or doing, you can disarm her or course-correct or generally improve whatever is not working.I realize that I'm female, and thus not the target audience for this book. But wow, if you follow the advice in here, you will get laid. I really want to buy this book for a couple of clueless male friends who complain often about dating, but they'd probably be insulted. There is also a growing collection of “#MeToo novels,” including Susan Choi’s Trust Exercise, Kate Walbert’s His Favorites, Idra Novey’s Those Who Knew, and Kate Elizabeth Russell’s My Dark Vanessa. Each of these works distinguishes itself from the centuries-old tradition of novels about sex, power, and sexual violence ( Clarissa, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Lolita) by refracting these issues through the eyes of women. These new novels take the all-too-familiar misconduct of men as their launching point but focus their attention on the emotional consequences for women. These are novels about reflection and recalibration—in them, women’s past decisions are reweighed, their former relationships are reevaluated, and their once-steadfast beliefs are overturned—but they each reaffirm the importance of female freedom and agency. They are fundamentally feminist novels. Most authors on the topic of seduction unanimously say that a very very small percentage of men actually know how to seduce women thanks to modern unattractive females and males (mostly feminists) that incorporate that’s false ideology about attraction. By doing this, he completely invades the personal space of the group, interrupts the conversation (..) demonstrating his confidence loud and clear. It even states at the beginning of the book that it’s not intended to make you feel better, but to become better. If you want something you have never had before then you need to think and behave in ways you have never done before or the the next days, weeks, months, and years of your life will be like he precious days, weeks, months, and years of your life.

Also, keep in mind that taking care of others is a major leadership quality ( Leaders Eat Last). And women love leaders. Don’t Explain Yourself The point, he says, is that women want men that other women are interested in. But not men who are interested in all women. Social proof is not superficial. For hypersocial animals like us, it’s about as deep a signal of personal value as anything gets. Remember, you are a male stranger. You represent a danger to her, and the collective opinion of your social network gives a woman a huge amount of information about your traits, strengths, virtues, and social skills that she would otherwise find out only by taking the risks of getting to know you—a male stranger...Your social proof is really just the answer to one key question: does this guy add value to people’s lives?"

I agreed on 98% but I’m still not in agreement with anyone on abortion after 19 weeks, or a contraceptive tool… but that’s a free choice and my right as a free citizen and female to think and feel that way. In any domain, you have to go through the valley of genuinely low confidence before you can reach the peak of genuinely high confidence. And that’s why men chase women, buy them gifts, and generally treat them like a hot and rare commodity. Sigmund Freud once said: ‘The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “ What does a woman want? ”' Through the relatable and moving stories of seven very different women, Maxine Mei-Fung Chung refutes this inscrutability and sheds light on our most fundamental needs and desires. From a young bride-to-be struggling to accept her sexuality, to a mother grappling with questions of identity and belonging, and a woman learning to heal after years of trauma , What Women Want is an electrifying and deeply intimate exploration into the inner lives of women.

Popkey’s Topics of Conversation follows an unnamed narrator from her early 20s to her late 30s, through graduate school, marriage, divorce, paralegal work, single motherhood, alcoholism, and rehab. Almost every chapter focuses on a woman telling a story about a man. Often, the narrator mostly listens. These chapters, each marked by place and year, are linked by theme rather than event. Dialogue dominates; plot is sparse. It is, as Popkey has admitted, a rip-off of Rachel Cusk. In "What women want" von Maxine Mei-Fung Chung schreibt die Therapeutin, die selbst jahrelang in Therapie war über 7 Patientinnen, die bei ihr in Therapie waren. Zu ihrem eigenen Schutz wurden die Namen natürlich geändert. They might still be attracted to you, but it will be harder for them to trust you.
