What Women Want in Relation - Part 2


WHAT WOMEN WANT IN RELATIONSHIPS IS REALLY QUITE SIMPLE


Dinner. 

  • Of the homemade variety. You may not be good at cooking and you may not know how to boil water. 
  • But greeting us at the door after a long day with fish sticks (or whatever you can wrastle up) makes us swoon, 
  • because it shows that you've been thinking about us and our hectic day.



Communication. 

  • Women are vocal creatures. We know you love us, but it's nice to hear you say it, too. 
  • We can also be insecure. We wish we weren't, but the reality is that we often notice our wobbly thighs and forget about our gorgeous eyes. So let us know when you think we're hot. Tell us we're beautiful. It helps us feel good. 
  • Plus, when we feel sexy we're more likely to act sexy. Words of appreciation aren't half-bad either. Tell us you love the lasagna we made.
  • Thank us for driving the kids to school. 
  • Notice that we cleaned the bathtub. It doesn't have to be over the top, 
  • Just let us know that you see the effort we put in, and you're grateful.



Consistency. 

  • This doesn't mean be boring and predictable. It means that we know you will (usually, no one is perfect!) give us the love and support we need.
  • Knowing that you're coming at this with the same desires and energy as we are goes a long way to making us feel secure.


  
Engagement. 

  • Of the mental kind, not the "I'm getting married in the morning" kind. You don't have to like everything we like (we might be a little concerned if you do), but showing interest in our passions, be it career-related, a sport or a hobby, goes a long way. 
  • Listen when we talk to you. We're not speaking just so we can hear our own voice; we want to connect with you and this is one valuable way we do this. 
  • This also means paying attention to the little things. Whether it's the name of your best friend's husband or the fact that you hate Nicolas Cage movies, it's the little things you remember about us that's so endearing.


  
Humor and Humility. 

  • These two tend to go hand in hand. This doesn't mean that you have to crack jokes or entertain us, but just being able to laugh at yourself is enough. 
  • Guys who take themselves too seriously bring everyone down.
