Living

A woman’s mind is vicious and oftentimes, impenetrable. A lot of men would agree that it’s backbreaking to figure out exactly what their women want. Amidst the hormonal changes that cause extreme mood swings and a temperament that can put global warming to shame, it doesn’t take a genius to make a woman happy. If you really want to know what goes on inside your partner or wife’s pretty mind, brace yourself for a taste of the reality. Drum roll, please.

What Women Want

• To eat without getting fat

Men tend to look at burgers, pizza, and fries as “food”; whereas women see these as an addition to their thighs. To spare yourself from getting blamed for those additional pounds, be wise with your suggestions when it comes to food choices.

So if you want to truly make your wife happy, let her purchase that Chanel; or better yet, give her a present that is screaming with the letters LV and let her savor the world’s attention.

In reality for most women, the closest thing that equates to working out is running to the grocery store, cooking meals, and doing the dishes.

I can personally attest to that because I’ve spent so many moments watching swimsuit competitions in beauty pageants lying down on the couch and cursing myself as I stuff PBJ sandwich all over my face. I just wished that I can rely on someone to do some of the chores for me so I can go to the gym. To all husbands out there, catch my drift. 

• A Pinterest-worthy home

Women dream about having a pretty home that can pass Pinterest standards – neat, clutter-free, and well-organized. Sadly, most men don’t have the capacity to maintain such standards; not to mention having kids who can turn everything upside down in a flash.
