About “What do women really want?”

When I was young, I too struggled with this question. By the time I was 20 or so, and thanks to the girls I’d known up until then, I realized that that question had no useful answer; rather, it was the wrong question. The right question is: “What does this woman really want?” And while you are sincerely pursuing the answer to this question, you will discover that the only satisfying answer is: “She wants me!”

And my girl, my woman, wanted me for more than 37 years, until she passed away this June after living gracefully with metastatic breast cancel for 12 years. Gracefully, but not without anguish, as expressed in her poetry at:

dan, i really enjoy reading your posts - i’ve been reading you for just a few weeks now. the comments fascinate me as much as your writing. i have to say it’s interesting, because i haven’t read too many entries, but i get the feeling that your writing really comes from within you, and you’re sharing honest feelings, opinions and observations. i also get the feeling that in many ways, your blog doesn’t reveal who you are at all - just a thought.

I’m not sure if you appreciate the ramblings of a starstruck stranger, but I just had to let you know that your blog is just amazing. No, I wouldn’t even settle for calling it just that - there isn’t a word that can sum up just how powerful your writing is. Your stories seem almost unreal as if they come out of a novel, yet I can’t help but believe every bit of it that you narrate without questioning it for a moment. So far I’ve read only a few, to be honest, yet I found that I could relate to every single one of them on a personal level in some way.

I love it, and it’s inspired me to put up an RSS feed reader on my blog just so I can share your writing with whatever few readers that I have of my own.

Thank you, and don’t stop writing.

Dan,
for me, they’re right - I think you are an original: and as you probably heard, the Original (Homo originalis) has been designated an endangered species by the WWF

hi,
im from india and accidentally fell prey to your post!!It seems to me the most delectable reading experience iv had in a long time.
A striking similarity between you and me is the language of zazz…my group of friends started this …every 1st letter of every spoken word would be pronounced starting with’Z'as in : How are you ?
In our dialect it would be : Zow zar zou?
People had looks that read ..these are a crazy group of girls!Shy away from them..This was like some 9 years back!Id never imagined id think of the lost time now at this juncture with a person who is thousands of miles away.
Great blog of yours ‘M on M ‘.Im a subscriber and soon would email to you.
