Men, what do you wish women did more in romantic relationships? Girls, What do you wish Men did more of?

[Razberry_pumpkin]

I am just curious because I might get in a relationship soon and wanna make sure both of us are satisfied with each other.

[Summeroflove]

Well plenty of women do these things… and these are things personally for me. Every man is different and so is every woman so remember that. Not every woman has to conform to what I personally want.

But before I get into it what you need to understand is compatibility just like you’re not the same as all women… not all men are the same. So. What do you want out of a relationship? And what do you have to offer? Don’t entertain relationships that won’t last. Don’t waste your time and especially the time of someone else.

I respect a woman who communicates with me especially if it’s early on she expects me to read her mind. Yeah, obviously she isn’t mature enough for a stable relationship if she cannot communicate like a adult. What do you want? What are your needs? And what are your boundaries? If we aren’t compatible we can respectfully end it and not waste one another’s time. Because I don’t think wanting something different makes you bad. It’s the way you act.

Entitlement is a attraction killer. It’s absolutely fine for instance if a woman wants a man who pays for dates, gifts, etc. But she’s not entitled to it she is entitled to not date a specific guy anymore. But at the same time men don’t owe women shit and women don’t owe women shit. People who are entitled typically chase people off. Including people willing to do the thing you want. So don’t be entitled…. You can simply end things.

A woman whose grateful it goes with not being entitled but a step forwards. Someone whose not entitled genuinely appreciates the things someone does. Opening doors, paying for dates, and giving gifts, etc. You appreciate it because you know he isn’t legally obligated to do it.

Not bringing drama especially early on if someone brings drama and toxicity…. Any man with self respect will set boundaries immediately and that will probably kill any potential relationship. People who value their peace and boundaries won’t entertain someone whose going to bring problems into their lives. Especially if it feels intentional.

She has boundaries…. I like a woman whose honest about her own boundaries and genuinely respects others. If someone I barely know texts me at 4 AM and it’s not a emergency. It shows very poor boundaries unless we agreed that’s fine. It’s common sense. If someone feels they can have 24/7 access to you and act like you don’t have a life outside then. That’s a issue.

Be on time or early. I understand if something happens outside your control and you’re a little behind. Don’t stand someone up. Don’t be late just to be late. It tells someone that you don’t really have a interest in them. If you’re early or at least on time. It shows that you really wanted to see this person. Same thing stay off your phone even checking the time. It shows you would rather be somewhere else… or if you’re just scrolling or hammering out messages. Then why? Why even show up. I came to spend time with you and obviously you have better things to do, better people to see, and better things to do with your time. If social media is that important. Why show up? Why even waste my time.

Don’t be rude to wait staff or retail staff… a woman with a attitude that looks down on people is a disgusting one.

I'd want them to not expect me to be a mind reader 24/7. They need to communicate what is on their minds rather than keeping it to themselves and bottling everything up until it all comes out in a toxic way. It would be nice to have women initiate physical touch and sex in a relationship too. It can be draining when it's always me trying to initiate. Men want to feel desired too.

More words of affirmation, saying things like "I believe in you" and "I'm here to stay, through thick and thin." Just affirmations that assure me they're always gonna be there.

Unfortunately, there is no single right opinion, as everyone has different needs. However, one thing I wish men would do is remain consistent throughout the entire relationship. Many people (both men and women) start out behaving a certain way, but over time become less attentive, romantic, understanding, or communicative. I think inconsistency is a major factor that can negatively impact a relationship, because you enter it with certain expectations and standards that may end up being the complete opposite of what you experienced in the beginning.

[aceleon]

a wild goose chase i'm afraid, it is simply biologically impssible for brain to keep the same level of attentiveness and passion for the same thing.

[LatinaXv7]

I agree it’s you and maybe it’s more the absence of something. Yes I think everyone transforms and that can also contribute for things to change, but there are some things (for the most part) that should be consistent. When I mean consistent though I mean that for example you call your partner everyday after work maybe it slowly changes to every other day (that may not be too concerning). However, for me I would be more worried if it’s abruptly done to the point that it just no longer part of a routine within the relationship. So I guess maybe the level of communication or attention can change or evolve, but if I were to say something that negatively impacts a relationship is the complete absence of anything especially if it’s something that got you drawn to the person or relationship.

[aceleon]

i meant as in after some time brain will be fed up with the routine and not even realize the things, brain works like that, if data is not valid it ignores it.

[DishLady]

(Besides actually taking the 1/2-second to think of something sweet/romantic to do? Lol.)

I'd love for a guy to show me I'm safe and protected with him. I get a lot of comments about how "strong" I am, but being strong doesn't mean you don't want to have a guy by your side to make you feel safe and protected... to feel that it's ok to let the soft, feminine girl inside rest her head on his shoulder or laugh freely and enjoy their time together.

[_piotr]

I never understand why women think men are some sort of security officers. Men are only human and can also be harmed/kill by other people. Women say men should not be scarred of walking at night. Wrong! He can be killed/harmed/robbed.

[_piotr]

So I fail to understand why men makes you think you or him are super protected. If you want security and do not want yourself or him to be harmed (I hope you do not want your partner to die) do not go to dangerous places.

[DishLady]

Wtf are you talking about? Way to take things out of context.

[Finchie40]

Learn how to remove selfishness , and be respectful, wear your partners’ shoes the same way you want them wearing yours

[Alex_Bright]

Most men would love if their woman would keep getting dressed even when they are at home. Usually after a while there's only effort to go to work, but not for the boyfriend at home.

That being said and to contradict myself, it's absolutely wonderful to have girlfriends who stay braless at home. Or in a dress without panties.

On other areas, staying curious about the other goes both ways. Good food and long conversations are my favourite, and above all don't leave fights unresolved.

[Purpleronnie]

For me it’s the little things like doing things I never asked for that are kind of/ thoughtful / supportive. Defending me in company with other woman , talking up my good points. Just generally looking out for me and doing the things that let me know she cares and thinks about me.

[DonaldDarko]

I wish we could genetically alter our selves so the whole thing would just stop. You get more pain than pleasure, half the time or more getting involved with someone ruins your life.

[jirwin7979]

That is true most of the women dont want us or they just use us and dump us

[HighValue]

Be trustworthy, honest, FAIR, get off social media, and never take relationship advice from other women.

[PeachyPie93]

Cuddle and touch more, show desire even after a few years, communicate and listen more often.

[jirwin7979]

I wish women would ask us guys out and make the first move

[RavVid]

My list 1. be nice 2. Not start fights 3. Put out as requested

[Alex-Snow]

Just be honest, have an open mind and enjoy life... well a lot of sex is also a bonus I guess.

[Zionne]

How I wish men who are nonchalant would show their girlfriend how they really felt

[Anonymous]

I wish women would take initiative, to be self-confident and assertive, dominant and more determined.

[mrshooiser]

Stay off his phone more

[Nikki1989]

Men in general, listen.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Give b. j.'s !!!

[Razberry_pumpkin]

To be honest, maybe if men didn’t expect their women to swallow their cum even tho they don’t like it, we would give more b. j’s

[beefcakebradybatson]

Oh, well... Guess some lasses don't like lad splad !!!

[dudeinohio]

Keep open and honest communication always is key.
