What are three things that women should know about men to help them better understand them in a relationship?
126863
1) Men are NOT mind readers.  Don't give us clues or hints, we just don't get it.\n\n2) Men have a different set of priorities than women.  We believe that it is important to check the oil in a car.\n\n3) Men have three emotions.  We are either hungry, horny, or sleepy.  If he's awake and Not grabbing your butt, then fix your man a sandwich.  :-D

It depends on woman, but most women want a man to take his time and get to know her body entirely, her body's reactions and to act like he loves every single part of her, be gentle, caring and concerned about how she feels those moments and try his best to make her feel special.

women have different preferences, the next best thing is to eye for someone you like and get to know her if you're interested..as for the general traits...well, i find the personality very appealing if he's able to handle a sincere conversation, with a good sense of humor, confident, firm in his ideals, never pressure you into anything and respects me as a woman, in terms of my opinion and what i like...sexiness, when he's able to flirt with you in a subtle but meaningful manner...

Just be you. I dont think that us ladies give guys enough credit as far as being able to see through fake or phonyness. But while being yourself, notice things that are important to him or that interest him. You can only learn what these things are by talking and interacting with them. Good Luck

I think it depends on the man. I strongly believe men to be more physical then emotional before a relationship. They pick their (prey) based on appearance. Men become interested in women due to their immediate attraction,: big breast, long legs, beautiful lips.  However, after getting involved with a woman, men want their woman looking becoming so that they may walk around making other men jealous and (somewhat) feeling proud of their partners. But I think men become emotionally involved with their mates during the relationship, once they've taken the opportunity to experience what their other half has to offer intellectually and spiritually, they then find themselves appreciating her more than when they first me. A little backwards if you ask me.

Appearance: well-groomed, clean-smelling/light cologne, and well dressed.  Whether bearded or shaved, long hair or short, being well-groomed (clean hair and skin, well-trimmed facial hair) is probably the most important.  Well-dressed doesn't necessarily mean expensive clothes, but clean, stain-free, and wrinkle-free is important.\n\nDemeanor: Confident, witty, humble are all good characteristics.\n\nHowever, there's this certain way that some men naturally hold themselves that conveys sexuality like some kind of pheremone.  It's this casual, hip-slung sort of stance, accompanied by a direct gaze and a half-smile.  Matthew Mcconnaughey has this posture.  It sort of says "I could take care of *all* your needs and have you begging for more..."\n\nI think most women get past the physical part of attraction fairly quickly. It's important, but more important is what their guy is like.  Not too sensitive (no tears on the first date, please!), but intuitive to their needs and the needs of those around them.\n\nOther than that, it depends on the woman and what she wants!

All men, all people are different depending on how or where the grew up. Don't lump us all together in one boat. In a good relationship, a mature couple will debate an issue (not argue) and find some common ground on which they can agree or make compromises to agree. Always respect your partners opinion whether you be male or female.

On the otherhand, men should never attempt to understand women.  It is a hopeless task.  The best you can ever hope for is to be able to communicate well with one woman.

let me tell you the first thing about women... never take advice from women about women. Let me prove that one to you. I once asked my sister two questions. The first question was "what do you look for in a guy?" I got the typical "i want a guy that treats me good, does sweet things for me, and blah blah blah". then i asked her to describe the guys that she has had the longest relationships with. well I'll be damned if those two answers weren't the farthest away from each other as they could be. Now some girls you ask may get a good piece of advice in there once and awhile, but let me tell you the three "C's" of what a women looks for in a man. Confidence is probably number one. Not to be confused with arrogance, confidence is not having a self esteem problem. Know in your head that you are good enough for a women, but don't think that you are better than her. The second: Control. Control is about being your own person and in control of your own life. Being a decision maker and being confident in the decision. Taking charge of a date for example. None of this crap about i don't know, what do you want to do. This is where many many men falter. Control in this manner is not about controlling what a woman does. it's about being a take charge guy. One word of caution about this is that there may be feminist or two out there that don't like this kind of crap. Those women need to be kicked to the curb. The third is a challenge. Never let a woman think that you are a loser. Women want what other women want. Let her think other women want you. never wait around for a women and beg her like a puppy dog. you have your own life, live it. and if you don't, pretend. go out with your friends, go on dates with other women. And if and when you start dating a women, remember that you still have friends. never let a women tell you "let me think about it". that's just postponement for her to tell you no with hopes that you will forget about it. I'm not in any way telling you to treat a women like crap. a lot of people assume that from me when i tell them this stuff. you need to treat your woman good, but do not be her little bi***. Bottom line, women want a man to be a man. The big protector. Be a gentleman. Open doors, and treat her like a lady, but be a man about it, not a p**** whooped fool.  You sound like you're ready to hand over your testicles.  you will "worship the ground they walk on"... if it doesn't work try something else.  accept that you need to change

You will know when man loves you when he is totally faithful to you, doesn't hide things or lie (ie. is open and honest), when he treats you like you are the most important person in his life, when he respects your opinion (even if it is different from his), when he puts you first before himself and when he makes you feel like you are the most beautiful woman on earth to him and he sincerely means it. I know because my man of 18 years still does all of these things every day!

Oh, this is my main subject with men! I always wanted a guy to be romantic, listen to me and not just sit there and look around, to actually listen to me, and be there for me no matter what. And if a woman seems to be talking and seems to need a hug or a kiss, lean over and give her one, she will love that.Take her to a park with a blanket and picnic lunch and just sit and listen to music and listen to her and feel what she is saying. She will definately see the romance in you if you do this. Be kind, caring, and listen to her at all times, she will like that a lot and don't ever change, keep it that way, romantic, and sweet and she will love you for that. Good luck!

I think actions speak louder than words.  I have read women want love and men to be admired as the overriding source of happiness in relationships..all men have either brains, brawn, or skills, so sit down one day..write all the things you admire about him (especially manly things ..more so than things like "you are so thoughtful")..better to say stuff like "I really admire the way you steadfastly go to work each day, sacrificing to provide for us" or "I love the way you can figure out those difficult math problems and the logical way you think" or "wow, I am so impressed with the way you lifted up that heavy thing so easily--I couldn't have done this without you."" or "I really admire your skill in building that cabinet..it is so professional looking or beautifully carved" or "you are such a fast runner..I am floored" or "God, you're smart" or "you are one of the best lovers I ever had...you really take the time to please me..many men are so selfish or "Our kids are so lucky to have a dad like you who gives of your time and teaches them things.  I love that about you." etc.\n\n Always be sure it is sincere praise or admiration (things they believe they have or do have or they will sense insincerity and feel manipulated.\n\n Also giving sex often to a man IS expressing love as they need it so bad)...focus on making admiring statements..to express love.  Women sometimes don't get their love across as they express it in way they like to receive (you are so pretty", flowrers, notes, cards, poems, etc..these are OK sometimes for men too but admire much more than love and the love will come across making them feel good and like being with you.\n\nAlso occassionally pout and do cutesy girl things (like pout and stamp your foot when angry and say something like "you big meanie" or you hardhearted guy..you hurt my feelings..poor little me.\n\n This accentuates the difference and make them feel more masculine (and this is what men like to feel) This is a better way to express anger to men even when you are mad and isn't as likely to casue bitterness. \n\nSounds old fashioned but men are said to love this a lot more than the way the average women fights. It makes them chuckle, defuses anger, and it endears them to you. (save the strong feelings of anger for a family member or friends to get it out of you).  \n\nMen often don't know how to handle female anger and want to withdraw or stay away more.  Although it may sound sexist, men and women are and think totally differently.\n\n\nRemember, in addition to making "I love you" type statements---express admiration..especially for manly things...this will also tend to bring out his love for you more.  \n\nI got some of these ideas from a book years ago called "fascinating womanhood"..she claimed her techniques could totally bring back the original love the man had for you but I found much of it too hard..personally although I do believe if one could do all her chapter suggestions, it would work.  Her husband wrote a companion book for men (I think his name wsas Aubrey Andelin or something like that and her name was Helen.)\n\nAlso if he is upset about something--for example, doesn't make enough money, reduce your need for things and focus on other things he can do well..be supportive...and express praise and acceptance for who he is as a person.  I know it's hard not to want to change man but it never really works anyone..if he does the least little thing in the direction you like, praise him for it and he may do it more and better in order to get your admiration which men crave.\n\nBy the way you asked in a post of mine you just answered (about making friends) where I lived and I live in Columbus, Ohio--answering questions and asking them here is so addictive, isn't it?\n\nJane

Care. It means a lot when a guy cares for me like calling me when I'm sick, asking me if want a ride when I go somewhere, help carrying something heavy. Women like an attention. Today I went to a grocery store and was looking at apples, then this guy at the store came up to me and said new apples has arrived to the store this morning so he can get me some if I want more fresh apples. \nI'd be pretty much happy with a guy who cares for me even though he doesn't have much money or good looks. The attitude that he would always be there for me is a very important factor. \nHonesty and loyality are also important. Don't be stubborn. Don't be short-tempered. Be a good listener.

To answer from a guy's perspective: Absolutely! Men and women communicate very differently. This is one of the reasons couples so often have communication problems; they fail to recognize that their partner relies on different types of communication then they do. Men generally understand verbal and visual cues, where women are more apt to pick up on more subtle messages like body language, voice tone, etc. Because of this, men often get frustrated when women do not say what is on their mind and instead expect the man to pick up the subtle "hints". I am not saying that us guys are any better; both sexes need to recognize these differences in communication styles and consider them when interacting with each other.

Of course we don't!  Women are by far the most baffling mystery in the universe for men.  Men have to make assumptions about women because typically speaking we have absolutely no idea what you think or want.  Women are much more subtle in their communications then men, so while you think you're making yourself perfectly clear, most men have no clue what you really want.
