What Men Want in a Woman

It's fun to talk to your girlfriends about boys, especially when he's your boyfriend or someone potential. You pretty much spend every waking second thinking about your day together, the chemistry, his gorgeous eyes, heart-melting smiles, smooth hair, soft lips, and so much more. All these topics have already been exhausted, but they still find a way back into any conversation among your gals. With all this attention towards what you like and want in your man, have you thought about what he wants from you? "What men like in a woman" is virtually in every girl's mind, one time or another in her life, whether she's single, dating, or married. It doesn't matter what stage of life you may be in, the tormenting question always creeps back in your mind.

So, what do men want in a woman? Can any woman really be bold and confident enough to stand up and say, "Yes, I know"? Maybe she can, however, many times, the answer is fairly self-explanatory, and is triggered towards a "no". We believe that men aren't so complicated to understand, but in reality, even they have certain elements about them and their lives, that is mysterious. Well, to help you peek into their minds, or at least, peek into a little spectrum of their minds, let's get to the bottom of the dilemma, that has been passed down from generation to generation, about what guys want from women.

What Men Want in a Relationship

When you talk about relationships, the concept is somewhat vast, because the relationship between a man and a woman is indescribable. It doesn't have its own definition which can be understood just by looking or reading about it. What makes this intangible connection between two people so fascinating is, that there are different layers hidden from many of us. When I say layers, I mean different phases of any romantic relationship.

Phase one is the initial interaction between two people, knowing that they have some kind of connection and want to be close to one another. Phase two is the dating period, when the couple tries to learn about each others' likes and dislikes. Phase three is the commitment period, when you make the decision of being with that person no matter how his/her nature is and how it affects you and your life. Phase four is when your relationship takes a turn for the biggest step in your life, toward marriage. Perhaps there are more stages before, in between, or after the ones that I just talked about. In other words, even I am a little less capable of knowing the whole truth about the design of relationship. So, let's keep these stages in mind and move forward to the more pressing matter at hand, about what men want/like in a woman and their relationship.

1. When among friends, speak what's on your mind. Try not falter from the subject though, and even if you're wrong, you at least made him proud.
2. Don't play hard to get when you're clearly interested. Nothing else would turn him more off than a woman pretending to not notice him.
3. If your man messes up, tell him, but only once. He will get the message and you won't need to nag at him all the time.
4. When a man shows you how he cares for you and wants to be in a relationship, don't make any kind of assumptions that he might like your sister, friend, or co-worker.
5. While your man loves to watch sports and possibly anything that's on television, he will pay attention to you only if you're being nice and somewhat quiet. Interrupt too much, and he will shut down.
6. While asking a man for compliments about your looks, hair, dress, makeup, or cooking, don't always think he's telling the truth. We tend not to hear the actual truth, just something to make us feel better. In essence, he might be lying once in a while.
7. He will love the fact that you gave him a girly nickname. But try to control your feelings in front of his guy friends.
8. One time or another, your man does worry about his hair, weight, clothes, and appearance. Don't think that you are the only one with insecurities.
9. Now and then, us women can have our weird mood swings. Don't blame it on PMS and don't be rude to him because of it.
10. Men love to laugh and have fun with their girlfriends. So, make him comfortable and he'd hang around for quite some time.

What Men Want in a Woman Physically

When the relationship falls into the physical stage, things tend to get interesting and exciting. As your courtship is moving steadily, according to plan, the only sensible thing to do would be to keep the relationship moving forward. Whether you wish to take it as slow as possible, or you are the kind of person who doesn't believe in delaying the inevitable, the physical part of the relationship will stay there till you do something about it.

Being intimate with your guy is always welcomed by him. There's nothing more pleasing and arousing than the thought of him with you. It is common knowledge that men think about sex more than women and they are desperately waiting to reach to that stage. Of course, an honorable man would respect your wishes and give you time to reach that physical level in your relationship, but you need to steer clear of men who tend to overlook this critical requisite. To make this differentiation and make up your mind about what men want from women physically, let's see what their minds have to say about it.

1. First time, even they are as nervous as you. This piece of information can be useful during the emotional unsteadiness that you might go through while thinking about sex.
2. Come summer time, there shouldn't be anything in your closet that starts with "long".
3. Your guy loves to see you in running shoes and shorts. Add a colorful tank top in the mix and he'll be drooling all over you, no pun intended.
4. Leave the makeup off as much as possible. Natural is way prettier and sexier than you might think.
5. Men like getting hugs, kisses, and holding hands too. It doesn't necessarily mean they want to get you into bed. (But that doesn't mean that they don't think about that all the time. You can pretty much say the word and see how they jump on it.)
6. When he's not expecting it, once in a while, grope him in public. Try it and you'll know what I mean.
7. Sometimes, even guys wonder why any woman would want to be with them. Plus when she's as amazing as you are, the doubts are doubled. So in a way, they mean to say "thanks", but can't get the words right.
8. Men tend to get attracted to skinny women. But that doesn't mean you need to hit the gym like a maniac to please him. A man will get attracted to you if you are confident and proud in your own skin.
9. Just say the word and they are ready. There's no need to add subtle hints or unnecessary innuendos. They don't like the guessing game and they never will.
10. Keep the accessories to the minimum. There should be less stuff on you and more of you that he can see. Other than that, it's pretty much smooth sailing from there.

After talking about what men want/like in a woman for so long, all I can say at this point is, trial and error. You're never going to actually know what's going on in your man's head if you don't test it. But keep yourself away from the pitfalls and don't repeat the things he doesn't appreciate. Be sensitive to him as well and see how he reverts it back to you.
