What Women Want From Men

What women want from a relationship is really quite simple.
Besides the meaning of life and many other confusing facts, more than one man has questioned “what exactly do women want?”

Women are complex creatures, different from men but they are not exactly the great mystery that men often make them out to be. Here are the things women really care about in a relationship:

Respect:A man has to show through his actions that he respects his woman’s opinions, career, interests, friends, body and mind. He doesn’t have to agree with all she does or says but instead he has to try to honor her opinions as valuable contributions.

All a woman wants is to be treated the way her partner would like to be treated. To be honest, fair, kind and considerate.

Romance: treat your woman as your girlfriend even after she’s become your wife. Date nights, adventure, travelling and all of the things that made her fall in love with you don’t have to stop just because now there are bills to pay, a house to be cleaned, kids to be taken care of. Bring flowers for no reason even the flowers from your garden are enough to make her smile.

Time: relationships can’t be all wine and roses. Simply making the time to be with her and treating her like your top priority says “love” more than all the fancy gifts and lovely letters. Giving her your time includes helping around the house. Realities of a 21st century relationship are that both partners probably work.

Dinner: you may not be good at cooking and you may not know how to boil water but greeting her at the door after a long day with a bowl of fruits or whatever you can wrestle up. It makes her happy because it shows that you have been thinking about her and her hectic day.

Communication: women are vocal creatures. She knows that you love her but it is nice to hear you say it too. She can also be insecure, she wishes she wasn’t but the reality is that she often notices her wobbly thighs and forgets about her gorgeous eyes, so let her know when you think she is hot and beautiful, it helps her feel good.

Words of appreciation aren’t half bad either; tell her you love her recipes. It doesn’t have to be over the top, just let her know that you see the effort she puts in and you are grateful.

Consistency: being consistent doesn’t mean being boring and predictable. It means that she knows you will give her the love and support she needs. Knowing that you are coming at this with the same desires and energy as she is goes a long way to making her feel secure.

Engagement: this is not about the “I am getting married in the morning” kind. It is about you showing interest in her passions, career, sport or hobby. Listen when she talks to you, it also means paying attention to the little things.

Humor and humility: These two go hand in hand. This doesn’t mean that you have to crack jokes or entertain her but just being able to laugh at yourself is enough. Guys who take themselves seriously bring everyone down.

Challenge: not the kind that makes a relationship constant work but the good kind that surprises and motivates her to do, to be or to achieve what she desires.

Studies show that partners who prod each other to meet goals in other words don’t support lazy or bad habits, are ultimately happier than those who don’t hold each other accountable.
