What do women really want?? What is the key to her heart??
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer; he would be put to death.
The question?...What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.
But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden, but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened.
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day...or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous, intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below BUT....make YOUR choice before you read on.
Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his question, said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now....what is the moral to this story?
The moral is....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly.
i think romance is a good thing i like a guy also that is his own person meaning a guy that got his own opinion on things. i think the ideal partner would be someone who you can talk to openly about anything someone who you can rely on who is caring fun to be with romantic i kind of like a guy whose got a bit of mystery about him i think the main key though is trust cos without that you got no relationship. when it comes to finding the key to someones heart though i think it kind of depends on the person
The key to my heart would be when a man is not afraid to show his sensitive side. That's why I married my husband. He is a sweet, loving, kind and gentle human being. It is important for a man to be sensitive enough to notice when you are in a bad mood. The moment that I opened my heart to my spouse was, the time when I was dealing with a serious problem. I became frustrated and very withdrawn. He was always so concerned about my welfare; sometimes he would either hold me in his arms and not say a word, or try to distract me by making jokes or talking about a topic that would arouse my interest.
Everyone is an individual. women come in all shapes, sizes, intellects, and moods so there is no single key to a woman's heart.
For me, intelligent conversation is what does it for me, and the first thing I look for in a partner. When I go into a relationship I hope it will last forever, and if the conversation is always based on shallow subjects I tend to get bored.
The second thing I look for is depth of character. Is the potential partner ethical, gentle, polite, etc. I ask myself if this person is the type I would feel proud to be in the company with for life.
After that, its basically making sure he has a sense of humour, is romantic (at times anyway), has some similar interests as me, and whether or not we generally get along and make compromises equally.
