1. Respect
I know what you might be thinking: understandably, everyone wants to be respected, so why is this considered one of the things men want but don’t talk about? First of all, men and women have different feelings regarding what respect means.
Think about those times when you complain about how your day went and what problems you currently have. Men typically have a problem-solving attitude, and they might start offering solutions right away.
On the other hand, you probably don’t want him to take care of your problems for you, but you want him to listen. The moment you tell him you don’t need his help (of course, that depends on what tone you use), he might feel disrespected and unappreciated.
Even though that was the last thing you meant, our wonderful male partners often perceive respect, love, and appreciation differently than we do. If you disapprove of their thoughts, ideas, actions, or style, they might take it personally and find it challenging to share their thoughts with you.
Of course, you don’t have to walk on eggshells during every conversation, but you need to be honest with your man. Tell him calmly and beautifully that you appreciate his input, but know that you simply want to vent. See how things go from there because it might save you a communication error.

This is such a great article. I like the points made. I love to initiate sex with my partner.
To many ads I can NEVER finish an article
Just looking for ways to make my relationship better by seeing what my man would like
What I look for is Respect, Honesty, Loyalty unless open relationship is establisted up front, Sense of Humor, Good Comunication. Someone who will attempt to join me and do what I like to do.
I love the articles
“we” definitely do NOT need another “control freak”. The gov’t. issued one (very expensive) is enough for 4 men to have to deal with….. let alone by ourselves
Not enough blatant honesty. How about incredibly great lovemaking, and I mean in every way? It’s two ways there, but most women I’ve been with prefer receiving, and that gets old sometimes.
Women I’ve been with seem to just receive lovemaking than to give equally. Not enough blatant honesty in this article.
What do you want us to do to show you our love?
we are grown ups tell it like it is
Lot’s of men don’t believe in making love anymore no foreplay what so ever I’ve always felt making love should be given by both not just the men some men make all that noise thinking they’re doing something 3 minute action and that’s all you get lol it feels good to invent thing’s to spice love making stronger making each other feel good showing the love behind the feeling’s for both
