Why do men start out giving a lot of affection to their partner and then after a short time, take it away?

The first few weeks or even months are what is know as the "honeymoon period" They are so happy that they got with you that they wanna do whatever they can to make you happy, but after they think everthing is good they start to settle into it and feel they don't need to work so hard anymore. They think everything is fine now. It happens with all of us, you get something new. Lets use a car for example the first few weeks/months you take good care of it, then you may settle into it. You start letting food get brought into it, messes start getting made, you no longer check your fluids regularly, clean it all the time,etc. You grew into it. You don't feel you need to keep putting so much work into it cause your car is running good and not giving you any problems, but if you let it go too far as with anything you start to have problems.

speaking only for myself as an english man, i wouldnt say we make better physical lovers, we can sometimes be more considerate caring lovers though, having lived in the USA, I found most men tended to treat their wife/partner more as a pal (not necessarily a bad thing) than a person with whom they wished to have a long loving relationship, and lets remember here love making isn't just about how long you can last in bed, it's showing how much you care for a person, holding hands while out in public, those little looks and smiles you share, and knowing you could trust your partner with your very life if need be. So as far as i can see, if your partner fills those criteria, it doesn't matter where he comes from so long as he makes you happy.

Its a man thing, it carries on from childhood. Not every male does it, but most. There's just a manly Ora that you have to have with ur friends,  now is this the smartest thing to do, no, because our friends are not going to sex us up like our woman would, but we dont think that far down the line..hence the kissing of the posterior when the friends leave.

It might be just personal nature. I, for instant, do not call frequently, yet that has nothing to do with how much I love them. . .Another possibilty could be that you gave him the feeling he is not that welcomed, so he fall back a bit. . .Know your man then you will easily find the appropriate answer. . .

It might start off that way, but feelings change and eventually one person will want more out of the relationship than the other.  From my experience, it's usually the women who think "maybe it'll be different with me".  Women tend to be more emotional and invest a lot more in these types of relationships than men do.  Men are much more able to stay "disconnected" until they're ready for a relationship.

it's probably very normal at the beginning of a relationship, but I think after a time you need to do other things.  Every relationship needs stimulation, you have to have things to talk about, outings and events, activites outside of the bedroom to build a foundation for a varied and interesting relationship because sooner or later the sex will become less and less and then what are you left with?

if the person does not back off when you are kissing him or her that means that they like it. However, we man are always too afraid or proud to tell women how we really feel.We dont like to show our emotions.So there is your answer. I think I should relly get those 10 points.

Its a social necessity as much a biological need to woo a woman during dating, there's this need to impress and become her focus of attention. Yup women like to play tough to get. So anyway, men try to do all those romantic things to win his woman. And then u get engaged/married and out of that springs this deep secure feeling for him...he knows the relatonship is for real and there's a lot of 'taking for granted' that happens. A woman hates that but then he is not doing it on purpose. Its just that he's sure that his woman is going to stay with him and that she is going to love him no matter what.  Now this is the case in a good relationship built on trust and love. In the other cases, men tend to get tired and the initial excitement of dating wears off and he goes in search of someone else to start all over again. Even women change, its not all abt guys.

wasting your time....when a relationship starts..people put up fronts....after a few months or even years, the person's real self starts to show itself....that means that he has always been like this and was different in the beginning but will never go back to that way

I think our feelings change as we get to know the other person better. More often than not people are alot more open with who they are after the relationship has progressed. So in the beginning they could be a little more reserved and laid back but as the relationship progresses they begin to be more open and outgoing. And so we get to know them for who they really are, as they become more comfortable within themselves and the relationship. Sometimes, this change isnt always for the better but other times it makes you love them a whole lot more. Change is one of lifes necessities. We all go through it.

For the same reason us men get jealous when our girls talk with other men very openly.\n\nEveryone knows affection doesn't start out with the looks, it's with the small talk and the experiences we share and all that. Getting *very openly* with someone is an invitation for one of the two to grow affectionate - if not in love - with the other. That's how many friends hook up in the long run.

maybe because it takes time for people to adjust to their feelings or their just expressing their selfs to get ready to be in a relationship their probably trying to enjoy their self's first before they experience something.

There is lust there, but zero love. You think in terms of emotions they are thinking in terms of satisfaction. You are Mr Right Now, not Mr Right.

1) it's a pride thing\n2) it's kind of caused by biology, too.  Men are supposed to be the providers, and to take care of their mates.  How can they do that (or find a mate) if they don't even know how to get around?

They treat you nice in the beginning to bait the woman in then once they get comfortable the real jerk comes to life.The reason why some men do this is because if they really were to act like themselves, they would never get any sex!!!!

It's true, guys have feelings too. We are just wired in a different way.  Our basic instinct after puberty is sex sex sex, but then when we find somebody special, then we  fall in love, and we look more towards companionship. Problem isthat some men give us all a bad name, and that it isn't really....accepted....in a traditional masculine way to show emotions. Kinda like how most men struggle to figure out what a woman wants.

I think that its good to have time away from your partner... it gives you time to miss and appreciate him. But its not wrong to want more time with him and to ask for more affection.
