What Do Men Want in a Relationship?

What a man wants in a relationship is determined by what type of man he is. Basically, there are two types of men. The first type are modern, self-assured and independent. They appreciate a strong, independent woman who makes her own money and lives her own life. The second type of men love their mother and want a woman who has a lot of her qualities. These men are sometimes labeled as "mama's boys," whether it's accurate or not....

I had time to discus with few of my males friends-what a man wants in a relationship, Straight from the mouths of the guys themselves — it turns out what they crave is simpler, sweeter, and more surprising than you'd ever imagine. Here are the answers i got 

honest
stability 
love and respect
self-sufficient, secure, confident women.
understanding 
faithful
trust
a good cook
obedience
one who believes in herself.

Someone said don't sweat the small stuff. But in a new relationship you definitely need to! Doing little things to show to him that you care will make his heart grow fonder.

Make him feel good in front of his friends and important people. Don't laugh at him but with him.

If you are the kind who will call, text and mail your man umpteen times a day, rest assured he will run out the door in a jiffy. Don't badger him, especially about the future. Take it as it comes and things will just fall in place!

 If he is well-mannered and gentlemanly, then you have scored a 100! "Good manners are a sign of what kind of man he is." Ensure that you have similar values and he's dependable and truthful.

What men REALLY want in a relationship, is a safe place to recharge and renew themselves in order to go back out and face the world and “fight the good fight.”  What men want is a safe, secure, STRESS-FREE environment where they can recover from dealing with the “rat-race” and just relax.

Men want no manipulation of any kind. They do not want to read their partner’s mind or try to interpret signals. They do not want to be forced to move faster in a relationship than they are ready. They do not want to be manipulated into taking all the blame for things gone wrong. They do not want to be on the receiving end of game playing.

Fidelity is an absolute must. In fact, men want a woman who does not have a “roaming eye” and who can wholeheartedly commit to the relationship. Many may define commitment as fidelity plus the willingness to work on the relationship — even when the going gets tough.

Many women treat men in ways that diminish their egos, making them feel inadequate. Men would rather have more praise, more acknowledgment of what they do right, more acknowledgment that they are great guys who are loved and appreciated.

Women think men do not need them, do not value their opinion, their support, their praise. Women also think men do not care about many things important to women, which is why they criticize. Criticism is a way to verbalize resentment.
