So He Knows It’s Real: The Things Men Love In A Relationship
Sexism is real, and the world needs to understand that. But men still love it when their partner does some things that might fit into that whole sexist stereotype, like cooking meals for them.
Who doesn't like a fantastic home-cooked dinner provided by their partner? Outside of that, he might adore other things and wish his woman would be more hip about doing them. Continue reading to see what those things could be.
Passionate Conversations
A man likes hearing about your dreams and what you're really thinking. Knowing that there is more to you than a cute smile and beautiful body is something guys love.
Not Having Your Mind In The Past
Regardless of how much your ex broke your heart or how you still appreciate him, please don't bring that noise around your current flame. He more than likely doesn't want to hear about him.
Having Your Own Life
Sure, he loves spending time with you, but he's a busy man as well. If all you want to do is be around him, he might not like it that much.
Tell Him You Love Him
If your man had a bad day at work or didn't play well in his video game, tell him you love him. Say those three words whenever he isn't in the best of moods.
Never Leave Him In The Dark
The last thing he wants to do is worry about what's going on in your head. That's a one-way trip to Anxietyville, so try and be as open as possible with him.
Watch Some Sports
You don't have to like them, but you should tolerate some sports. If he has a favorite team and you don't, then feel free to adopt them as yours as well.
Cooking Meals For Him
It might sound like patriarchy, but men love a woman that can cook him meals. If he knows how to cook too, then you two can switch who gets to make meals.
Surprise Him Instead
Guys love surprising their loves, but they don't mind being the one on the receiving end, either. If you can think of something that might shock him, don't be afraid to do it.
Let The Boys Be Boys
If he wants to play some video games with his friends online, burp extra loud sometimes, and tell dad jokes, then let him. You'll have to limit his video game usage, though, to be safe.
Attentive Listening
When your man has something he wants to tell you, your undivided attention would be great. If he's talking about something that isn't important, then you don't have to be that attentive.
Let Him Be The Hero
Showering him with positive affirmations every now and then is a sure way to help him feel better. Even if he's in a sensational mood, it can still get better.
Be Explicit
It's not a secret that men and women don't have the same wiring, so you have to tell him things explicitly, even if it seems obvious. Don't roll your eyes when he doesn't get it the first time.
Emotional Strength
If he acts like a little kid still, then this doesn't apply to you. If you have a man that doesn't let emotions get in his way, he expects the same from you.
If He Says He's Fine, Then He Is
One thing you can count on being true coming from a guy is when he says he's fine. He wouldn't lie about that, so don't press the issue unless something tells you otherwise.
Speaking With Actions
Some guys aren't going to shower with "I love yous" or say things that make you feel good all the time. Instead, he'll show his love through actions like randomly cleaning the kitchen. If you can grasp this, you're golden.
He's Listening
Women listen actively with remarks like "yes" or "I see," but men aren't that much into that. If you're talking to him and it doesn't seem like he's listening, he more than likely is. He wants you to understand this.
If He Forgets, Don't Grill Him
In many cases, women have lingering feelings of stress for longer periods of time. Men, on the other hand, don't dwell on things as much. If he doesn't remember the argument you two had last night after you bring it up, don't sweat it too much unless it was important.
Spice It Up
Along the same lines as surprising him, you should try to keep things interesting in other ways, too. Tell him you want to go see elephants, or that you want to finally get that dog he wants.
Hold The Insecurities
Unless he actively loves talking to other women, mentioning them, or anything that he shouldn't be doing while in a relationship with you, he'd love it if you wouldn't be insecure.
Leave Out The Third Person
It's okay to tell your best friend things about the relationship, but not everything. It's okay if your bestie tags along, but not every time. Leave that third person out as much as possible for a better experience.
