What A Man Wants

1) Men want to feel needed - If a man feels unneeded, then he will feel unnecessary. I applaud the many women who have demonstrated amazing strength in being single mothers, self sufficient and able to provide for themselves. But if you try to have a relationship with a man and show him that he is only an added luxury (like leather seats in a car) then he probably won't hang around you for long. Men still like to feel like they are the man in the relationship.

2) Men want to feel special - How do you make a man feel special/ By finding things that only he is good at with you. It will not hurt him to have him hear from you how every special you think he is to you. Comments like "honey, you are the best man I have ever met or you make me feel special whenever I am with you" can go a long way in putting a smile on his face. That should be every woman's objective.

3) Men want to belong - He needs to know he holds a special place in your heart unoccupied by any other man. Men hate being second fiddle or an afterthought. Instead they need to know that when you think of the opposite sex, you think of them.

4) Men need their egos stroked - This concept is hard for some women to grasp. But it's true nevertheless. Men function out of a healthy ego. He needs to know that he is the man. Not every man has a ripped physique, is famous, highly intelligent or makes a ton of money. But he still needs to know he is your knight in shining armor. He is the man of your dreams, the coffee you love to sweeten and the one who makes your toes curl when he walks into the room.

It may be hard to believe but if you love a man, you will work hard to give him what he needs.
