What Men Really Want
An insight into the mind and make-up of the opposite sex can be an
invaluable tool, especially in relationships. As with most things, the
subject of what men really want from women has been the topic of many
debates... and quite a few arguments!
I am sure that many of you have heard a guy say something along the
lines of, "I would sleep with her, but would marry her (another woman)."
Well, what does that actually mean? It means that, when it comes to
relationships, a guy has two main focuses: sex and companionship. The
ideal woman, therefore, would satisfy both!
With regards to sex, contrary to popular belief, it is not looks that
drives a man wild, it's attitude. He wants a woman to captivate his
imagination. Someone that oozes confidence in every way: the way she
walks, talks, dresses and looks. He wants a woman that, while she holds
herself with class, also protrays that she wants him as much as he
wants her. He wants someone that will play with his emotions sexually,
someone that will tease him, force him to chase her and yet will also
allow him to capture her... a little bit at a time :-)
On the other hand, he also, more than anything, wants a soulmate and a
friend. Someone who is loving, caring, affectionate and tender.
Someone he can talk to and also have fun with. He wants someone that
will love him unconditionally. someone who is there for him when he
needs her, yet also someone who he can be there for too.
He is looking for a best friend that will laugh at his jokes, no
matter how dumb they are. Someone that will take an interest in the
things he likes, even sports. Someone that will not try to change him,
yet at the same time will help him to improve and grow where it is
needed. He wants someone that will trust, respect and admire him,
despite all his faults. His ideal partner will focus on his good
qualities more than they criticize his faults.
If there were a set of guidelines for how to make a man feel special, I think UsedtobeBlonde expressed it best in our
Male's Perspective forum:
- Told him I wouldn't change anything about him.
- Didn't interupt him when he spoke.
- I was his biggest fan and had faith in him even when he doubted himself.
- Listened to head banger music (even though I'm mostly country).
- Laughed at his dumb jokes (even the blonde ones).
- Watched NASCAR racing with him (and liked it).
- Helped him launch the boat (even though it scares me and he knows it).
- Baked him M&M cookies.
- Respected him.
- Trusted him completly.
- Threw my cats out of my bed when he was here.
- Drove when he was tired.
- Looked in his eyes and listened when he talked.
- Admired his muscles.
- Always took his side.
