·1 hr 17 min·4 clips

Women want a man to own his interest and make decisions.

1. How To GET THE GIRL - An Ask Women Podcast, Ep. 563 “Misconceptions Of What Women Want,” centers on why dates stall when the conversation turns into an interview. 2. Kristen Carney hosts with Marnie Kinrush, while relationship expert Marnie Batista and comedian Graham Elwood add the male and female dating perspectives. 3. The episode asks what women actually want when men think women are asking for questions, attention, and constant reassurance. 4. Kristen opens with a date example that goes from “great” in the first 10 minutes to waiting for the check by minute 30. 5. Graham says men often default to “question after question after question,” and that structure can push chemistry away. 6. Kristen says women who date her clients are often more guarded, more judgmental, and shaped by bad past experiences. 7. The conversation contrasts the common belief that women have it easy with Marnie Batista’s point that many women feel “completely powerless” in dating. 8. Kristen and Graham argue about whether age changes dating behavior, with Graham pointing to women in their twenties acting more aggressively than before. 9. Graham says his own dating life changed after divorce, in part because younger women now send overt messages through Twitter and Facebook. 10. Marnie Batista distinguishes “assertive” from “aggressive” and says women want a man to own that he is interested and to follow through. 11. She says a man who ignores crossed arms or a leaned-back posture is missing body language that signals discomfort. 12. Graham describes feeling shamed as a boy for being too aggressive, crying, or wanting sex, and says that affected how men learn to date. 13. The episode returns to decision-making, with the speakers saying women do not want to carry every choice about restaurants, plans, and logistics. 14. Graham says he gets better responses when he is upfront about not dating casually and is not trying to please everyone. 15. Kristen and Marnie Batista discuss women who send sexual messages online and then freeze when they meet in person. 16. Marnie Batista says quality men want to know a woman, not just pursue her body, and that mixed signals create confusion. 17. The second half moves into listener mail, including a 28-year-old divorced man who says he has little trouble meeting women but cannot get a second date. 18. The tone stays conversational, fast, and occasionally blunt, with overlapping voices, jokes, and practical back-and-forth examples. 19. People who want direct dating advice for texting, first dates, and mixed signals will get the most from this episode. 20. People looking for a tightly edited show or a single linear argument may skip it.
