7. A little bit of space
Speaking of things men want from you, this one is important and sometimes overrated. We’re so used to thinking that we need to be with one another 24/7 when that’s simply exhausting. All couples need time to miss one another and to have their activities, and that could make your relationship happier.
You’ve probably heard about the concept of a “man cave” before, and it is as true as it can be. While you might reach out to your girlfriends to socialize, talk about your problems, have fun, and give each other a piece of advice, men might need to spend some time alone or with their male friends.
It’s not that he doesn’t like you anymore; it’s just a natural response. Nobody wants to be suffocated in a relationship, and let’s be honest: you sometimes want to breathe your own air, not yours and your partner’s air.
Focus on your goals and dreams, and allow him time and space to focus on his. You’re on this journey together but don’t forget that you both have your own lives, and space is much needed in every relationship.

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?

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
