Regarding men and women, it can seem as if we’re from different galaxies even though we are the same species. Women always come across as mysterious, a riddle that men have to solve. Yet, men can be just as difficult to comprehend.
Here are ten things that men wish women understood about them. Hopefully, this helps females gain a better understanding of the world of men.
Men Want Communication
Relationships are built on the foundation of open and honest communication. When a woman says, “There is nothing wrong,” men know something is upsetting their partner/spouse.
Communicate Ladies
Don’t bottle it up. Share your feelings with your man and be open to listening to his problems.
Compliment Your Man
Men aren’t needy (okay, some are), but they love it when you tell them something that boosts their ego and self-esteem. You don’t have to dish out the compliments all the time (you can if you want) but don’t hold back either.
Say Something Nice
As one online user said, “We all want compliments, and we will hold on that high of something as simple as saying ‘you look nice today’ for literally years.”
Men Aren’t Devoid of Emotion
It has been traditional for men to hide their emotions. After all, “Big Boys Don’t Cry,” according to The Cure. Yet men are human beings, too.
Men Have Feelings Too
They do experience emotions, and, as their partner, you need to acknowledge those and make your man feel comfortable talking about how he feels.
Men Need Their Alone Time
Man caves have become a popular addition in many homes. It’s a place where your man can go for some “man-time.”
Space is Vital
We all need time to be by ourselves to recharge and destress. Appreciate that and give him his space.
Men Want to Feel Like They Are Needed
This might seem like men have dependency issues. They don’t.
Men Want To Do Things For You
One online user commented, “They want to be told that they are making a contribution to your life and you appreciate that.”
Sometimes, Men Don’t Want to Talk About How They Feel
Men know you care because you ask them what’s wrong. The lack of response that you get doesn’t mean he has given you the silent treatment.
Sometimes I Need My Own Space
Understand that, like you, there are times when men need to work through things without sharing their feelings. Stay patient and supportive.
Take Charge Every Now and Then
Women are stereotyped as the damsel-in-distress. The weaker side in a relationship needs the macho man to stick up for them.
Take The Reins, Too
Yet, there are times when men want you to take the reins.
Men Need Some Physical Affection
Give your man a hug, cuddle, or kiss. It lets you know that you love and respect him. Physical affection says more than words can.
We Also Want Your Touch
One male online has this to say:
“Some of us are ticklish, so if you’re trying to be cute and rub our thigh or softly touch near our armpit or whatever… we’ll giggle like giddy kids.”
Men Can Feel Insecure
You may think that because a male is a male, he is tough with no ego issues. Some men come across like that.
Sometimes, We Have No Confidence
Guess what? It could be a front to hide more profound insecurity they are hiding. Don’t condemn him for that. Show your partner empathy and understanding.
Men Don’t Care Where They Eat
One online user said, “Stop worrying as men don’t care where they eat. Sitting with the plate on his lap can be fine.”
