What do women want? This movie actually answers that question with its premise. Women want men who can read their minds, who know what they want without being told. An impossible demand.
She was a bit too much in that later scene when waiting for Mel outside his apartment building, "How long you been waiting here?" "Oh, just for a few..hours" And she pressures Mel to give in to admitting he's gay just so she won't feel hurt and rejected, and he gives in and admits it. But what was Marissa gonna say when she then saw Mel and Helen Hunt's character forming the very obvious couple that they started forming towards the end of the movie?? Then Marissa was going to be even more hurt because she clearly saw Nick's not gay, and that he lied to her about it!
Some thoughts are better off not known. My mother-in-law does not speak English and the language barrier was a blessing from heaven when she stayed with us.
Women can be really harsh with their words. They definitely know how to stab you. Not to mention, how unlike men, they would go the roundabout manner to make your life miserable.
@@GameLover45408yep just like my narc ex-gf who found her a new guy last sept. Now she verbally abuses him but he doesnt engage in her rage. At least thats what she told me. She has a gorgeous bod but shes a evil person.
Steve, you have no idea what a great ally your mother-in-law could be if she thinks you are good to her daughter. That mother-in-law problem is for women and for bad or foolish boys if you are a decent guy and strategically smart she becomes the one that defends you from her own daughter.
I came up with the same solution. Trying to figure out what my partner wants didn't work out for me at all, so i had to stop caring about it. Suddenly she was oddly receptive when it came to listening to me.

The point of the whole movie was to fight sexism by criticising the way some macho men reduce the feelings of women. People nowadays love to complain about any and everything really.
loved this movie as a kid. it's been ragged on a lot but it has clear character progression with nick slowly coming to understand women, in the end not even needing his power. and the moral was also pretty good. some interpret the moral as being "so what women want is for men to know everything" but in reality what they want is a man who listens and understands, because that's what we all want, even men. groundbreaking conclusion for the time, men and women strive for the same in the end, to be understood, our efforts acknowledged
Yup, I realized eventually that most of the things that are mentioned as issues with women or men, are actually just human quirks. Things like indecision, or not knowing what we want.
I dont think this movie would be able to be made nowadays. All these feminists would be outraged that he mind graped them without their consent even though women demand men to know what they are thinking 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@Darthjardius damn right lol. also, part of high school is learning how to know if a girl likes you or not. trial and error is the casanova's way, getting rejected a batch of honor, not something to mope about. I once went out on a so called bar-mile and asked every single woman in every single bar if she wanted to sleep with me. Not one said yes. But I ended up with a) a lot of fun (I wasnt creepy, more like a cheerful fool), lots of laughs shared and a bunch of numbers in my phone the next day. You dont need to look great to score with women. You just need to be not afraid. And then you've just mastered the most basic step of a long quest to find true love, instead of meaningless corpulation.
There used to be a theatre in the town i grew up in that only checked tickets at the door. So you could buy one ticket and then see as many movies as you wanted if you never walked outside. This is one of the free movies i saw back then and loved it, probably the best one i ever saw for free.
It only avoids rejection, and if a girl doesn't like you, you could turn it around til she does. It is that simple and stupid really, then when you are what she wants it is what she thinks she wanted and doesn't want it anymore
The last scene reminds me of a hot pharmacist I asked out several times. After a while I just gave up and just kept our interaction cordial. Years later, when she was already engaged to an arranged marriage (she was south Asian), she looked at my details and went "what the hell?" Turns out she looked at my date of birth wrong all those years ago, and had been under the impression I was 10 years older than I really was. All that time she'd thought I was some well preserved creep looking for younger women, which is why she rejected me. Sad thing is she seemed genuinely upset when the truth came out.

the initial idea was that a woman can hear what men were thinking but they quickly found out that most men were sitting blankly most of the time so dropped that idea
Exactly my point as the therapist here. If I meet such a human , I would be so thrilled with them and also if I had such power why would I let it go to waste ?
Freud died at age 83 and still asking that question. A lot of other men died asking that very same question. Women knows about that. And still are not willing to tell. You monsters!!!!
I love this movie because it actually does answer what women want. It's a splendid moral as well. Women want a man who is understanding and caring, without being fake. And that's what matters. Not being hot or making rude comments that seem "cool". Just a nice and caring human being who makes the effort to understand them.
It's easy. They wish for: - powerful man that make her girlfriends jealous - man with lots of money to spend on clothes and jewelry - endless cycle of love and hate so they are not bored - has big pole
What a great movie! It's so good that China released their own version of it 3 months later (also called "What Women Want"), starring Andy Lau and Gong Li.
So if a guy who can hear women's thoughts is the luckiest man on earth, what about the reverse? A situation where women whom he knows can hear his thoughts?
@@DiabIe37 I think you misunderstood. What Men Want is just a gender flipped version of What Women Want. What I said was a man whom lives his life but women he's sexually attracted to can hear his inner thoughts but he can't hear theirs.
Wo-man. Man meaning human or mankind. Wo meaning female. A female person or s person simply appearing female. What you need to ask is what makes an actual female. We can look at features that make people feminine but women can have uterus’ and breasts removed or males can grow female organs in the womb. We are complex creatures so maybe we can just be allowed an open definition for gender because it will only be more difficult as time goes on
Fact check true!!! I'm a huge movie buff and the last good movies I saw in Theatre were Wind River and Blade Runner 2044. Everything since doesn't even look remotely interesting. More reboots and hot garbage Marvel "movies." So damn lame. I think that's why everyone is getting super hero fatigue and Star Wars fatigue. They've gone woke, now they must go broke.
Women want: A man who has purpose A man who is confident A man who is present A man who can protect here A man who has emotional controll A man who can express hes feelings A man who can hold tention A man who doesn't have a big Ego A man who makes here lsigh A man who can say No A man who wants to learn All of this are Skills you can learn and they all bring you further in life in every area!

As to whether he's right, I couldn't say. I do think though that women would enjoy this power even less than men, because the last thing a woman wants is to know what men are really thinking about.
When someone says "Most 80s movies could never be made today", and you realize: There are movies from the past 2 decades that couldn't be made today.
I'm sure this ability would be great if you looked like early 2000s Mel Gibson.
the initial idea was that a woman can hear what men were thinking but they quickly found out that most men were sitting blankly most of the time so dropped that idea
I love her...I think she is absolutelyperfect
Nope, she´s just another one among millions who doesn´t know what she wants and everyone around her suffers for it
@Martin Marcos….wow…the accuracy!
Exactly my point as the therapist here. If I meet such a human , I would be so thrilled with them and also if I had such power why would I let it go to waste ?
Freud died at age 83 and still asking that question. A lot of other men died asking that very same question. Women knows about that. And still are not willing to tell. You monsters!!!!
I love this movie because it actually does answer what women want. It's a splendid moral as well. Women want a man who is understanding and caring, without being fake. And that's what matters. Not being hot or making rude comments that seem "cool". Just a nice and caring human being who makes the effort to understand them.
It's easy. They wish for:
- powerful man that make her girlfriends jealous
- man with lots of money to spend on clothes and jewelry
- endless cycle of love and hate so they are not bored
- has big pole
perfect cut at the end
Marisa Tomei is always a babe in every movie she's in
What a great movie!
It's so good that China released their own version of it 3 months later (also called "What Women Want"), starring Andy Lau and Gong Li.
So if a guy who can hear women's thoughts is the luckiest man on earth, what about the reverse? A situation where women whom he knows can hear his thoughts?
They did this movie a couple years ago. What Men Want.
@@DiabIe37 I think you misunderstood. What Men Want is just a gender flipped version of What Women Want. What I said was a man whom lives his life but women he's sexually attracted to can hear his inner thoughts but he can't hear theirs.
@@imzjustplayinHes svrewed
I've never watched this movie but I feel like I wouldn't be able to fully appreciate it because I don't have a running monologue
I can't imagine what life must be like without an internal monologue. I'm basically talking to myself all day in my head and all sorts of other stuff.
How can we know what women want if we don't even know what a woman is.
?
Exactly
Lmao
Wo-man. Man meaning human or mankind. Wo meaning female. A female person or s person simply appearing female. What you need to ask is what makes an actual female. We can look at features that make people feminine but women can have uterus’ and breasts removed or males can grow female organs in the womb. We are complex creatures so maybe we can just be allowed an open definition for gender because it will only be more difficult as time goes on
@@ailestriker9888 XX or XY, it's that simple.
Saw this movie when I was kid I believe now as a grown ass man it will make more sense to me
I frickin' loved this movie growing up.
3:02 I have that smile every morning.
Mitnick!
Marisa Tomei is so gorgeous
You don’t hear what people think, but you do hear their conversations.
There’s also common sense, logic, reason, and most important of all- empathy
The answer to "What do women want?" is "Who cares"
Hahaha
Exactly, you're not supposed to be catering to their wants anyway. You're a man not a butler trying to figure out how to please their boss.
Ok RUclips, I finally clicked, are you happy now?
God Marisa Tomei…what an attractive female.
When I was in my late teens, I can't remember how many times I prayed to God to give me the power to read women's minds.
Oh 90s. So iconic.
This came out after the 90's
@@redavis6581 2000. Essentially the same time if we're being fair. It was filmed in the 90's haha, just released in 2000.
“Slow is good.” “Slow is really good.”
“You free tonight?!”
Well that was fast. lol
back then movies had at least something creative going for them
Literally go away
Fact check true!!! I'm a huge movie buff and the last good movies I saw in Theatre were Wind River and Blade Runner 2044. Everything since doesn't even look remotely interesting.
More reboots and hot garbage Marvel "movies." So damn lame.
I think that's why everyone is getting super hero fatigue and Star Wars fatigue.
They've gone woke, now they must go broke.
Mel Gibson did play this role pretty well, he’s way more flamboyant than usual.
imagine hearing karens voices in your head all the time ......
I’d go insane.

Women want:
A man who has purpose
A man who is confident
A man who is present
A man who can protect here
A man who has emotional controll
A man who can express hes feelings
A man who can hold tention
A man who doesn't have a big Ego
A man who makes here lsigh
A man who can say No
A man who wants to learn
All of this are Skills you can learn and they all bring you further in life in every area! Women aren't that complex
And what do women bring to the table? Beyond a list of 6 dozen demands 🤔
Looks and Money.There ya have it.
Money. A chiseled jaw line. Muscular. Deep voice. Violent thug.
@@maverickism00 99% of the time they bring NOTHING.
You are SPOT ON.
Hey this was a really cool well done short 👍 keep going!
In 2023 we can't even define a woman.
😂😂😂 funny but true. may you live in interesting times
But of course we can: an adult female human. Period. That simple. If she has female genitalia and 2 X chromosomes. We don't care for any other explanations.
2:56 😂😂😂😂
40 years ago I wished I was older so I could date Marisa Tomie. Now I wish I looked younger so I could date her. She has not aged at all.
40 years ago? Wtf
@@Blueline1221 she was on a show called A different World which was a Cosby spinoff in 1987. She was 24ish at the time but played a college student. I was 17 at the time. She is like 61

So when are they doing the reboot of this movie with Pete Davidson? Lol
Please can somebody help me ? 😮 I love that film and there is that song when Nick arrives at the prom. Can anybody tell me the name of it or who sings it? 😔
I hear them, too:
"The day I get married is the day I stop giving head, find a good divorce lawyer, take half of everything, and shop, shop, shop."
See? There's not much else in there, gents.
Shop, shop, shop 😂
It really doesn't matter if you can hear what women think. If you like one, just ask them out. It doesn't matter what they think about you.
This was some kind of hocus pocus lol
Winifred Sanderson would approve

Lol she was in hocus pocus

The thing is women don't even know what women want.
If you had this nowadays, all you would hear is "Instagram ... TikTok ..." 😂
After over twenty years of marriage, I have learned one thing women don't know what they want. Especially where to go for dinner.
I have to disagree, vvomen absolutely know what they want, and it's so simple it only have 4 letters : MORE.
Seeing Bette Midler was a pleasant surprise she fit that role perfectly
