As a partner, you’re probably aiming to make your man feel loved and appreciated. You might feel you’re already doing everything right, but have you ever wondered if there’s more you could do to make him happier? The truth is men can sometimes want more than what meets the eye.
To help you on the journey of doing more for your man, we’ve compiled some insights from online users who shared the behaviors that drive them wild. These are the things that make men feel valued, wanted, and treasured in a relationship.
Make the First Move
“Initiate instead of waiting for us to do it.” Don’t be afraid to make the first move. Yet, as one online user says…
“Guys are dumber than rocks when it comes to hints. We try, we really do, but still, a lot just flies over our heads. If we don’t get a hint, please, please, please tell us what we did wrong instead of getting upset.” So guys, learn to pick up on the cues.
What’s on Your Mind
“Be straightforward about their thoughts and feelings.”
Men know that when a woman says, “Nothing’s wrong,” there is definitely something upsetting her. Don’t have your man play the guessing game, as it’s frustrating. Be open and honest with communication.
Keep Private Life…Private!
“Not share everything about our sex life with their friends. I get talking to friends about intimacy and things to try or how to spice things up. But it’s a huge turn-off knowing her friends are going to get a detailed play-by-play later. It feels like an invasion of privacy.”
What happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. Men don’t want you dishing out the gossip to your best friends.
You’re Beautiful No Matter What
“Be happy with how they look and not care what anyone else thinks.”
When you compare yourself to the standards of others, you are always going to feel less than worthy. Then your man has to deal with the sullenness. Appreciate that you are unique and your man adores you. That’s all that counts.
So Romantic
“Maybe try romance. In my experience, many women see romance as something done for them and they don’t think about doing it for their partners.”
Romance isn’t a one-sided affair. After all, men and women, boys and girls, give those they love gifts on Valentine’s Day. Increase romantic activities for your man and he’ll treasure it.
Pay Attention to What Your Man Is Saying
“Actually, listen!”
How do you feel when you are talking and the other person is pretending to listen? Makes you wanna slap them and tell them to stop being ignorant. When your man is sharing something with you, stop what you’re doing and give him your undivided attention. You may not care much about what he is saying, but he thinks it’s important. By doing so, you are letting your man know that you value him.
Allow Your Man Some Time To Unwind
“Sometimes we just need that downtime during the week. Maybe for an hour or so after we get home, we just need to relax. I just spent 14 hours working. It’s not that I love you any less, I just don’t want to poison you with the stress I gained from that day. I’ll tell you about the day if you ask, but please don’t get on me as soon as I get home. Give me those few minutes to myself to clean up, get comfortable, and drink something cool.”
You love your man; that’s why you are so keen to talk to him when he gets home. Yet, he may have had a bad day and is needing time to process the emotions. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to spend time with you. He just needs the opportunity to unwind and reset himself.
Hold Me
“When I’m sleeping with you. Hold me like a teddy bear.” Just snuggling together can say so much. It tells your man that you adore him, and he will sleep like a baby.
I Love Your Hair
“Running your hand through my hair, scratching my head, and messing with my hair in almost any way feels fantastic for me too.”
Play with your guy’s hair, and then watch him melt like a puppy.
These Are My Friends
“Please do not judge us by our friends. Nearly all of our male friends were gained, like in The Walking Dead. They answered our own ‘three questions’ satisfactorily enough to become part of the group. There are some in our group of friends that we regret letting in, but men tend to let them die on the vine versus confront them and cast them out.”
We all have friends that we have picked up while journeying through life. Some stay, some go. Some are great people, others are…well, not that good. Yet, don’t assume that your man has the same personality as his friends. We are all unique. In a relationship, men would like for women to be confident in taking the lead. It won’t affect your man’s masculinity. Communicate more clearly and accept that your man is a unique individual, just like you are. Just like we all are.
