As I prepare for her arrival, I’ve come to understand the distinct difference between a woman’s wants and needs. The wants are typically sexy in nature — the qualities that make leading men in movies so desirable. The needs, on the other hand, are often more practical, and, in the long run, turn out to be the things that lead to sustained happiness.
So, in the spirit of this concept, I’ve decided to compare some of the typical wants and needs of a woman to see how they stack up against one another.
Her Wants Vs. Her Needs
A woman wants a man that would never be disrespected by others … A woman needs a man that would never stop respecting her.
A woman wants a man with a flawless body … A woman needs a man with an impeccable character.
A woman wants a man 6’3 or taller … A woman needs a man that stands tall in the face of adversity.
A woman wants a man that’s financially secure … A woman needs a man that’s emotionally stable.
A woman wants a man with a beautiful smile … A woman needs a man with a beautiful heart.
A woman wants a man that’s confident in his approach … A woman needs a man that’s dedicated in his delivery.
A woman wants a man with unlimited potential … A woman needs a man with unlimited drive.
A woman wants a man that people think the world of … A woman needs a man that thinks the world of her.
A woman wants a man that’s willing to die for her … A woman needs a man that’s ready to live for her.
A woman wants a man that has seen the world … A woman needs a man that sees the world in her.
A woman wants a man that fulfills her checklist … A woman needs a man willing to love her in spite of his checklist.
