Well, that got off the rails suddenly, looks around, so who's to blame for that one!

Seems like the cadence is being set, question asked, a few thoughtful responses, and then off the rails, only to be brought back with the next day's question. I'm okay with that cadence.

Simply stated question today, although I suspect not a simple answer,(and don't go looking at me for mine ;) ). Why do you want what you want. What need is it would be met by it? Not interested in the what, let's focus on the why. Want food, it satisfies hunger, that sort of thing. My hunch is that the what's/why's of this crowd aren't that simple.

I would just like to point out that this isn't directly my fault. I show up and these girls just can't help themselves. They go ballistic. I have that effect.

The heart, stomach, brain, penis wants what it wants. It doesn't have to make sense. I usually get the things I want, as I persist. But sometimes it doesn't happen, in which case I throw a tantie and cry.

I lost track of the question.. but this made me think of *insert exaggerated glance across the room to you know who*

I seriously own several copies of that book. It helps me with my OMG syndrome. (Oversized Make Genetalia) The struggle is real, people.

My review from April 2012:

Well, I finally found a book for a guy like me. Now, I don't often like self help books. But this one is legit. It changed my life. I've had such a tough time in life, dealing with my OMG disorder. But this is written by those that understand.

Well I was going to post something earlier but got called away. So my answer to the question would be that my mind almost always goes to think of what others may be feeling before my own feelings. I try to envision myself in their position and it always helps me to never judge others. I'm like a silent observer of sorts.....my mind is always thinking but I don't always speak it. I'm not sure if that's good or bad and it may be cliche to say this but I never ever judge a book by its cover.
:)

Quoted just because. This is beautiful and I am the very same. :rose:

Yes, maybe it really is that simple.
 
Why do I want what I want?
I make it a habit to remind myself daily that I do not *need*anything that I don't already have. And honestly, the things that would fill the voids and make life more enjoyable for me are really just desires. Could they make life easier? Yes. Would I perhaps smile more? Absolutely. However, when it's all boiled down, none of my unfufilled wants prevent my functioning in society.

 
I tend to divide my wants into two loose groups, physical wants (food, fight, fuck, companionship - not necessarily in that order). The physical side is the necessity of life.

The other side are the psychological wants (love, meaning, beauty) - I tend toward the nurture side of the old nature/nurture argument and believe the psychological wants are traits I developed over time, due to cultural and environment influences and as such are both more compelling (because they are more difficult to satiate) and more malleable (because they change over time, sometimes incidentally, sometimes accidentally, sometimes purposefully.).
 
What's the question? Why do we want what we want?! *this makes my blonde brain hurt*

What matters is that I get what I need-- which is basically sex and coffee. The rest is gravy.
 
Yes, *why* do we want those particular wants. Desires are endless but ours are specific.......why have you chosen the wants you have?
 
french toast tastes good.
Sex feels good.
And jewelry looks good.


Is that what you're looking for?

I basically went to compose this very same post^ but opted to quote the Stones instead, in honor of Corbal, who I just learned is not a fan! :eek:

But yah, duh, why do we want something? Because we think it's good!

Does not answer the"why" question...

My whole point is the "why" doesn't matter. Wants don't even matter. Fuck wants! They're nice n all, but it's the needs that deserve the attention.
 
I have to go to bed and I DONT WANT TO. Yet, going to bed feels good. EXPLAIN THAT, INTERNET!
