| Expectations
of men From Women
Women are often perplexed in their efforts to figure
out what men really need to be happy and contented. At the end of
the day, Eve's daughters simply shake their heads, shrug their shoulders,
and tell themselves that men will always be a complex mystery.
This shouldn't always be the case, however. Since the root of all
misunderstandings between the opposite sexes is probably the fact
that each party has their own misconceptions about each other, then
it's time to set the facts straight. Once and for all, let us examine
what men really expect from women.
Men expect women to communicate their thoughts and feelings directly
and honestly. Men don't like it when women make them second-guess
their actions. They expect their partner to express herself truthfully,
and to verbalize her thoughts and feelings to help him understand
her better. They don't like playing emotional charades. If his lady
has certain needs and wants that he must fulfill, a man wants to
know it straight from her. However, men prefer a gentle, kind and
loving way of communication. It will never do to be demanding, whining,
and critical of him.
Men expect women to be strong, independent, and self-sufficient.
Men are attracted to confident women. Although a loving relationship
is defined by sharing your life with your partner, it is still healthy
to maintain a separate identity and not lose your own self. A woman
should maintain her own interests, activities, and set of friends.
The last thing that she should be is a clingy partner, who cannot
function on her own if separated from her man. However, there should
still be a balance to this, because men also want to feel needed.
Being too independent may make a man fear that his partner is no
longer truly committed to him.
Men expect women to be faithful and devoted. Another common misconception
is that men are more likely to commit infidelity in a relationship,
so it often the women who are heard as saying that they wished their
man would be more faithful and devoted. In reality, no man would
want to be cheated and betrayed by his girl as well. When a man
is in a relationship, he expects his partner to be committed and
willing to make the relationship work out.
Men expect women to know how to treat them right. Treating them
right means knowing how to make them feel good. Men have a need
to be praised, appreciated, and supported in their opinions. Stroking
his ego once in a while would do him good, as long as it’s
done sincerely and not in a patronizing way.
