1. Respect for His Judgment. A man deeply needs the woman in his life to respect his knowledge, opinions, and decisions—what I would call his judgment. Many men feel like their wives question their knowledge or argue with their decisions all the time.
Unconditional respect means:
not blaming, shaming and being hyper-critical. not being controlling. not trying to force our will onto our partner/convince them of something they don't want to do.
Guys, in particular, crave to be looked at as a leader--someone whose ideas are important. Guys want to know you are interested in what they think. He feels respected when you care about how he thinks and feels. Then when you take the time to listen, it's even more powerful.
Respect isn't about controlling someone or making them do what you want them to do. Respect is actually about the freedom to be yourself and to be loved for who you are. In a healthy relationship, respect looks like: Talking openly and honestly with each other. Listening to each other.
Men love women who are thoughtful, caring, loving, and kind. A woman who does little things for her man for no other reason other than that she loves him. A woman who makes him smile back whenever she smiles at him. A woman who radiates love and warmth from her heart.
Men want love as badly as women do. They just might not always be as obvious about it. But generally, they want the same thing: friendship, companionship, chemistry.
A man trusts a woman when he feels she trusts his leadership/decision making skills, supports his endeavors, has his back through thick and thin, she's sexually satisfied and is basically his number 1 fan! Fidelity plays a role in building trust, but it's not number one on their list like it is ours.
Being disrespected also brings so many negative thoughts to his mind, and one of them is the thought of regret. Men become disappointed in relationships/marriages where they're disrespected, and that disappointment turns to regrets most times. Disrespect to a man means he isn't valued, and every man loves to be valued.
When a guy respects you he listens to your feelings, and even if he doesn't agree with them, he lets you express them to him. When a guy respects you he knows that small things matter to a woman, something as [simple] as giving you his jacket when you're cold or holding open a door."
Beyond saying things like “I love you” and “I appreciate you,” to show a man you appreciate him through words, you can say things like, “I've never met a guy like you,” or “you're special to me, and I appreciate you.
Food, water, clothing, sleep, and shelter are the bare necessities for anyone's survival. For many people, these basic needs can not be met without the aid of charitable organizations.
For men, it's honor and respect, sex, friendship with their wives, and domestic support. You don't meet those needs based on your own needs or desires but on his needs and a commitment that you're going to do that the rest of your life.
“Men like the challenge, so do not be afraid to challenge him. Stand your ground in a calm and serious way by being who you are from your truth. If you try and convince or litigate with him your “rightness” you will lose. Be true to what you believe and he will respect and admire you for it.
Men prefer a woman who can stay calm and relaxed. Beauty is more than make-up and a fancy haircut. Men find women more attractive when they are neat and clean. Men find women who smell nice, who have clean hair and hydrated skin more attractive than a face perfectly covered in makeup.
Nothing attracts more to a man than a woman with a high self-esteem. A confident woman is independent and can tackle any situation in her life. Even in the long run, the guy can depend on his partner and feel secured.
According to love biologist Dawn Maslar, the chemicals dopamine and vasopressin are vital for a man to start falling in love, whereas it's oxytocin and dopamine for women. Oxytocin, often nicknamed the love or cuddle hormone, also plays an important role in men but at a later stage.
According to Steve Harvey, if you provide a man with these three things in a relationship, he won't leave: support, loyalty, and intimacy.
Intimacy in a relationship is a feeling of being close, and emotionally connected and supported. It means being able to share a whole range of thoughts, feelings and experiences that we have as human beings.
To make your man happy emotionally, you have to be attentive to his needs and to know when to give him space. To make your man happy sexually, you have to want to try new things and to be bold and adventurous. But the most important part is that you are feeling happy while you're pleasing your man.
