Understanding a man is like holding the key to a successful relationship, and every woman definitely wants to have a successful relationship.
It’s a known fact that men think differently from women; understanding his way of thinking is a sure way to have a better relationship with him.
Below are 20 things women should know about men.
1. HIS FRIENDS ARE A HUGE PART OF HIS LIFE
A lot of women try to cut a man from his pals, or try to make him choose between his friends and her. This is an unhealthy thing to do; he has known his friends almost all his life and trying to cut them off is like cutting off the power and expecting the TV set to stay on.
2. HE WOULD ALWAYS LOVE HIS MUM
It’s hard to see a man who doesn’t love his mum — and that’s a fact. It’s unfair and unwise to try to make him choose between you and his mum; you are the two most important women in his life.
3. HE WOULD NEVER LEARN TO BE PATIENT WHEN YOU KEEP WASTING TIME
You know this usual scenario that always happens between husbands and wives, and guys and their girlfriends?
Women tend to always be late when they have a date or an event to go with their man. Yes, he understands that you have to look good (which he wants you to), but waiting for long periods is never fun — he would never learn to be patient with it.
4. IF YOU’VE FORGIVEN HIM THEN TRY NOT TO BRING IT UP AGAIN
A lot of the times, women bring up old things that have happened in the relationship — things that have even been done and dusted. Every man hates this; if you have forgiven him then try not to bring up his past mistakes at the slightest instance.
5. DON’T USE SEX AS A WEAPON
A woman’s favourite weapon is sex; withholding sex is her way of showing him who is boss. That’s a dangerous game to play, and it wouldn’t help your relationship or marriage in the long run.
6. INITIATE SEX SOMETIMES
More often than not, it’s the man who initiates sex, and this makes it boring to him over time. The truth is, he wants you to initiate sex sometimes. This would definitely thrill him and make him feel wanted.
7. DON’T EXPECT HIM TO KNOW WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND ALWAYS
A lot of women have issues with their man and expect him to know what’s going on in their mind, even without saying a word. He isn’t a magician or mind reader — the earlier you tell him, the better.
8. HE WANTS YOU TO LOOK GOOD WHEN YOU’RE OUT WITH HIM
I know I mentioned how he wants you to be on time, but this doesn’t mean he doesn’t want you looking great — of course, he does. He wants you to look like a queen when you are out with him; this way, he would be proud when with you.
9. HE DOESN’T LIKE COMPETITION
If he’s in your life, give him the benefit of doubt that it’s him and just him alone. He doesn’t want to feel jealous about another man lurking somewhere behind.
10. COMPLIMENT HIM MORE
Yes, he wants to hear sweet things, like he’s looking good or he’s great in bed, or he’s charming and attractive — those words would make him feel loved and appreciated.
11. BE SUPPORTIVE OF HIM
He wants to know that he has a rock of a woman who’s solidly behind him at all times, a woman who believes in him and would be supportive of his dreams and ambitions.
12. DON’T TURN EVERYTHING TO AN ARGUMENT
Don’t get angry easily and turn everything to a quarrel or an argument. Everything shouldn’t be taken that seriously.
13. THE FACT THAT HE NEEDS A LONE TIME DOESN’T MEAN HE’S TIRED OF YOU
Sometimes, a man might feel the need to be alone; it doesn’t for a second mean he’s tired of you or the relationship; it simply means he wants to think and clear his head.
14. DON’T REMIND OF THE PAST
As far as a man is concerned, the past is past and shouldn’t be brought to the present.
Also, your past relationships should be forgotten as well.
15. HE WANTS YOU TO NEED HIM
He doesn’t only want to be the man in your life, but he also wants you to need him. He wants to feel useful in your life.
16. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY
Yes, he loves you and would continue to; he understands you will gain weight after marriage but he would love you to watch it and not gain too much weight. Take care of your body; make him see you as sexy forever.
17. BE HOT FOR HIM EVEN WHEN YOU ARE HOME
I see a lot of women wear shabby and even torn clothes when they are alone with their man. Deep down, he wants you to be sexy even when it’s just the two of you at home.
18. IF YOU ARE ANGRY WITH HIM, LEARN TO TELL HIM
Many women get angry with their man and give him the silent treatment. This isn’t the right way to go about things; tell him what he did wrong and why you are angry with him, in a civil way.
19. YOU CAN’T BE ALWAYS RIGHT
Everyone thinks they are right, and this also happens in many relationships and marriages — and many women are fond of this habit. You can’t be always right; try as much as possible to see things from his view.
20. HE’S ATTRACTED TO SEXY UNDERWEAR
Almost every man loves to see his woman in sexy undies; it’s a turn on to most men. Wear nice lingerie and he would see you as sexy.
Now you know 20 vital things men want; put them to use in your relationship and you wouldn’t believe the impact.
