<h1 class="post-title" style="text-align: center;">Yes, Women Do Think A Lot About This Stuff Too</h1> <img src="https://media.istockphoto.com/id/2212059834/photo/excited-woman-pointing-at-camera-against-yellow-background.jpg?s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=MOmEffbJsVj3E18iAWuzIJZZtLPdlougcN-5IC6Oc0E=" alt="" width="800" /> We're not the only ones in our heads when it comes to dating and relationships. Hell, women think just as much as we do when it comes to meeting the man of their dreams. They may not have approach anxiety or beat themselves up over a bad approach the way some of us do, but they do think about it a lot. They chat it up with their girlfriends about it, and they're constantly combing Cosmo for tips on how to meet that perfect guy. They're no different in how they meet guys either - some are better at it than others. The savvy ones screen out the insecure guys early and understand the process of meeting and keeping the great guys that do some into their lives. A lot of hot women even get desperate enough to <a href="https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Spain-dating-service.html">try online dating</a>, <a href="https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Spain-dating-service.html?page=13">blind dating</a> and <a href="https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Spain/city-of-Torrevieja.html?page=2">speed dating</a>. And it's not because they're unattractive or undesireable. Hell, they're hot - they just don't know how to go about this whole process effectively. Guys experience this too. They revert to tried and true methods known to fail (like online dating, blind dating and speed dating) and in the best case end up using up more time than the good ol' pickup. Hundreds, thousands of guys have what it takes to <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2021/07/05/physical-looks-and-their-effect-on-your-success-to-attract-women/">succeed with women</a>, to excel at it. And really all it takes is one workshop and being around guys who have figured it out to change their perspective. But back to the women. <h2>They're constantly thinking about it. Dating. Relationships. Sex.</h2> They're immersed in it, and they get into their heads too much at times. And ya know what? There are plenty of stereotypes and misconceptions. We think women want to shoot us down, want to play games and want control us. Actually, it's the opposite. They want us to succeed, they hate drama, and they just want to nuture us while being happy in relationships. Women think that all we want is sex, we incapable of communicating, and that we never listen. What we really want is connection but don't know how to express it and don't know it's what we want. We can't communicate or listen because we've never been taught. The same way women have been conditioned to believe the garbage in Cosmo, we've been conditioned to believe the garbage in Maxim and Esquire. They're all great magazines, but they dish out garbage for relationship advice. That's what editors and staff writers are for - to compose something socially acceptable to their advertisers who are paying for printing and distribution. And just as women are sometimes mislead by their friends, guys are given terrible advice by their friends that destroy their chances of ever <a href="https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Spain/city-of-Valencia.html?gender=female">meet quality women</a>. <h2>All sad, but true.</h2> Women get just as nervous as we do on a first date, and they spend hours thinking about what to wear, what it'll be like, and they'll be running that fantasy in their head all day up to the moment you show up at the front door. They think a hell of a lot more when there's drama, and they're poring over it in their head all day long, even while they're asleep. What we see is the tip of the iceberg (credit: Lance), and there's a lot more going on inside their heads. Yes, <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2020/07/13/meeting-women-in-bars-and-clubs-with-maximum-efficiency/">they do show up at bars</a> to meet guys - and yes, they also realize how bad an idea it really is. What they're really hoping (and most don't realize, even between themselves) for is a guy who can approach her under normal circumstances (i.e., daytime). They're better in tune with their bodies and emotions, but they need our strength, guidance and support. They do need someone who can connect with them, not kiss their ass with flowers, dinners and empty compliments. Telling them what they might want to hear is not connecting, they really want us to show them emotional honesty. They want us to open up our feelings, from the ones we're having day-to-day to ones that have been buried deep inside. So the sooner we realize that women are no different from men, the sooner we can realize how human they really are and that they're really looking for many of the same things that we are.
