What do men really want…?
That’s a pretty huge question to ponder, but women on AskReddit did their best and offered up their opinions.
Check out what they had to say!
1. You might be right.
“In no particular order: s**, companionship, sense of humor.
I’d also say a safe space to be themselves and express himself emotionally without being judged.
Feeling wanted and appreciated.”
2. Just like women.
“Care, compassion, loyalty, trust, communication, ability to pick and choose battles, responsibility, dependability, etc.
The same thing that women want, really.”
3. Partnership.
“As a woman pushing 40 who has been with her husband since we were 20: I think he wants a partner.
He wants someone to enjoy his time with, he wants support in his roles as husband, father, son, and provider.
He wants to feel loved and wanted and desired. He wants clear communication and the right amount of honesty.”
4. It depends…
“Depends on the man.
They all want something different depending on culture, social standing, age, and maturity. I would say most just want to be treated with respect and made to feel good.
For some, this means s**, for others this means getting a sincere compliment, or feeling needed, appreciated, or useful; and yet for some this means having a dominatrix yell obscene things at them while making them lick her toes.”
5. All of the above.
“Conversation, a sense of humor, sharing new experiences, a travel partner, and cuddles.”
6. Useful.
“Men want to feel effective and useful, but this is especially beneficial if their efforts are acknowledged and appreciated.”
7. Wanted.
“Men want to feel wanted as a person, not as a workhorse who provides for the home.
In the same way women want to feel more than s** object, men want to feel more than a workhorse.”
8. Safe spaces.
“Someone who creates safe spaces for them to be vulnerable and open up without being judged.”
9. Consistency.
“A consistent track record that shows their partner won’t weaponize their feelings later.
It’s also important that the partner should create the safe space but not force him to share more than he’s ready to share.”
10. Sounds good.
“Acceptance, love, trust.
Someone to tell their inner thoughts and secrets to who doesn’t tell their friends. To have his hair combed with my fingers, lots of kisses.
To be touched often and not just in a s**ual way. Genuine compliments.”
11. Healthy.
“In a healthy relationship though, I think men probably would want similar things as a woman.
Stability. Trust. Kindness. Love. Compassion. Safety. Laughter. Someone to lean on when things get hard.
An “us versus the world,” mentality.”
12. There you go.
“Clear communication, frequent affirmations, honesty, affection, trustworthiness…and bl**jobs.”
