Since men and women are
different in so many ways, there
are definitely a few simple things
guys wish women knew about
them.
Knowing these things will help in
avoiding all the
misunderstandings that may
appear later in their
relationships.
Here are some simple things men
wish women knew about them:
1. MEN WANT TO BE
RESPECTED: Among the
things guys wish women
knew about them, the most
important is, in my opinion,
the fact that they want to
feel respected by their
partner both privately and
publicly. Shaunti Feldhahn,
an author and relationship
expert said that "men
would rather sense the loss
of loving feelings from their
wives than to be
disrespected by them," and
so his research indicated.
Well, that's understandable
'cause everyone wants to
feel respected whether
they're a woman or a man.
2. MEN ARE INSECURE: This
may come as a big surprise
for you but guess what?
Men feel insecure and
vulnerable too. Apparently,
for men, affirmation from
the women they love is
everything! And studies
show that, if they don't
receive that affirmation
from their wives, they will
seek it elsewhere; so make
sure you show him how
proud you are of his both
professional and personal
accomplishments and
compliment him a little bit
from time to time. He will
feel more confident and
secure about the things
that happen in his life.
3. MEN WANT MORE SEX: Even
though you may think men
want more sex because of
their much stronger
physiological needs, Shaunti
Feldhahn's research
showed that "the reason
men want more sex is
because of their strong
need to be desired by their
wives." Apparently, this is
another area where men
feel insecure too. They want
to feel wanted, basically,
and like they still got it. If
that makes your man
happy, just give it to him, it
will help improve your
intimacy too.
4. MEN STRUGGLE WITH
VISUAL TEMPTATION: Most
women get upset when
they catch their man
looking at other women
while walking down the
street, holding hands. And
you should be because it's
very disrespectful, but
apparently research shows
that, in fact, men really
struggle with visual
temptation and that
sometimes even the most
faithful husband or
boyfriend can't avoid
looking at an extremely
attractive woman who
dresses in a very
provocative way, drawing
attention to her perfect
body. So, maybe it's not
entirely their fault…
5. MEN CARE ABOUT THE WAY
YOU LOOK: Most men would
never admit that in fact they
do care about the way their
wife or girlfriend looks, but
research has shown that
this particularly insignificant
aspect has a rather big
importance to them. They
want their special lady to
look good and take care of
herself, so that they can
make other men jealous.
Also, you must know that
they really appreciate all
your efforts and all the hard
work that you put in to look
amazing every single day.
6. THEY FEEL THE BURDEN OF
BEING THE PROVIDER:
Maybe this is not such a big
deal for you, but apparently
every man feels this
incredible emotional
burden of providing for his
family and for his loved
ones. He wants to feel that
he's able to take care of you
and your future kids, so this
thing can often make them
feel trapped. You should
encourage and support
your man and you definitely
shouldn't forget about
letting him know how
much you appreciate all his
efforts and all his hard
work.
7. MEN ENJOY ROMANCE:
There are a lot of
stereotypes that support
the idea that men are
emotionally numb, but as all
the other very famous
stereotypes and prejudices
are, this one couldn't be
more false either.
Apparently, men quite enjoy
romance but they doubt
their skills to be romantic.
So, you should try to
increase your man's
confidence in his romantic
skills and not criticize him if
his romantic surprise didn't
turn out as planned. Hey, at
least he tried, and maybe
next time, he will get it
better. After all, you should
appreciate his efforts and
his intentions, so don't be
too hard on him. He's
inexperienced with this
matter!
