Things you should know about men

For most men, fulfillment comes through success and accomplishment rather than sharing and relating. It is the ability to be self sufficient and competent
that is most fulfilling to a man. A man, often takes pride in doing things all by himself and doesn't always see we were meant to work together!

what motivates a man?
A man is motivated when he feels trusted and respected. Trust your man to energize him! He'll give his best performance when he feels loved!

what Men Really Want
In a relationship, a man has two main needs: companionship and yes you've guessed it, sex! With regards to sex, it's more than looks that drives men wild,
it's attitude. He wants a woman to captivate his imagination. Someone confident who wants him as much as he wants her. Someone that will tease him, force
him to chase her and yet will also allow him to capture her! He also wants more than anything a soulmate and friend. Someone loving, caring, affectionate
and tender who he can talk to have fun with. He wants someone to love him unconditionally who's there for him yet also someone who he can be there for!

He wants a best friend that will laugh at his jokes, no matter how bad they are! Someone that will take an interest in the things he likes. Someone that
will not try to change him, yet who will help him to improve and grow where needed. He wants someone that will trust, respect and admire him. His ideal
partner will focus on his good qualities more than than his faults.

make him feel special . . .
1. Tell him you wouldn't change a thing about him. (even though it's not true!!)
2. Don't interrupt him when he speaks.
3. Be his biggest fan even when he doubts himself.
4. Listen to his kind of music
5. Laugh at his dumb jokes
6. Respect him.
9. Trust him completely.
10. Drive when he's tired.
11. Look in his eyes and listen when he talks.
12. Always take his side.

4 things to beware of!
1) It's a mans' natural instinct is to want to 'fix' things - including you!
2) He is not always a good listener.
3) Men don't like unsolicited advice - he's more likely to respond if you refrain from always giving advice!
4) It's good for a man to have male friends. Breaking up your his friendships will emasculate him and he won't be worth having!!!

how a man deals with stress
Do not expect your man to be responsive when he has a problem. When stressed he is more inclined to withdraw to find a solution to his problem than to want
to talk it over with someone else. He will come back but its a natural process and it may take some time before he emerges so be patient! Too much pressure
and he'll withdraw further.

what women do wrong - written by a man!
The biggest complaint men have about women is that they are trying to change them. Men are like children, by constantly telling him what to do he'll feel
controlled and put up defenses. The best way to change a man (if he's actually letting you down) is to love (encourage) him as if he's got no faults(ha),
but gently show him where he's letting you down - i.e. don't give him or give in to everything! He'll soon realise he hasn't been playing ball and he'll
want to improve himself! If anything remember the following rule: men love to improve themselves but hate being improved. The psychology is simple - male
ego and pride are our biggest problem and easily dented, so be firm but gentle!

4 things guaranteed to upset a male!

1) Frequently offer unsolicited advice

3) Change tack every 10 seconds during a conversation!

4) Expect him to react like a woman!

5) Try to change him!


1. It is important to find a man who works around the
house, occasionally cooks and cleans and who has a
job.

2. It is important to find a man who makes you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man who is dependable and
doesn't lie.

4. It is important to find a man who's good in bed and
who loves to have sex with you.

5. It is important that these four men never meet

This article is basically telling women that men like to be lied to (tell him his jokes are funny even when they're not, tell him you wouldn't change him etc). I really dislike that kind of mentality, especially when the posts are written with that "am I right girls?" kind of tone. Call me crazy, but I would like someone to not laugh at my unfunny jokes and tell me what they dislike about me. Anyone can tell me that joke was funny or that I'm a great person, but it takes a true friend (or partner) to tell me the truth. In my opinion, it clears the air and allows me to trust that person as much as they trust me. There's nothing I hate more than lies (and the lying liers who tell them).

That's why I said only some of it is true. Much of it isn't.
The counting thing wasn't an attack, just an observation. *smiles*

This article was okay, but i don't agree with everything it says. I think it depends on the person. As far as what men want, it really depends cause every guy has different values, backgrounds, and beliefs. Yeah, it's right to respect them and no, it's wrong to be dishonest. I also hate lies. It's better to be straightforward and fix things than to lie just to satisfy the other person.

Thanks for posting the article. It was interesting.

I agree with all of the posters so far, I don't believe most people would want their partner to continuously laugh at jokes that he or she really didn't think were funny, or lie in other ways. No one wants a phony.

Do you think that men and women communicate differently?

Nightbird, Not necessarily, me and a few males have to agree on most things.

This is a very big sociological and collective generalization. This might be very true to a certain number of males and be very wrong for some, and somewhere in the middle for some.

Now, I don't like the fact that this article gives no rights and liberty to women. This is the traditional patriarchal look. Men is all and women have no say. I think Women have there say, and there parts. I think this reflects heavily on today's flawed society.
