My dudes, what do you want from women besides playing pelvic pinochle? Ladies, you may comment but check your whataboutisms at the door?

MY list is as follows: 1. To be appreciated for what we contribute to your life and our family's lives. When we build or fix something, thank us. Don't just assume it's what we are supposed to do, therefore we don't need a thanks. You literally light a fire of positivity under us when you do this. 2. Respect (I could take this a handful of directions but I'll pick one). We want you to treat us as your equal meaning when we make a decision, assuming it's not actually causing hurt, you give that decision the opportunity to be successful or to fail just the same as we would do for you. Rather than nagging us because you do not like the way we do things. Just be grateful we care enough to even try. 3. Physical touch beyond sex. A lot of men love laying their head on your laps and letting you play with our hair. We love it when you hug us. Lay your head on our shoulders and let us comfort you. Sit on our laps (not sexually). Walk up to us and hug us from behind when we aren't expecting it. Give us backrubs. Just a list of things you could do depending on your man. 4. Hobbies and friends. Recognize that we are not your hobby and we often have brothers we NEED to spend time with. From a mental health perspective YOU should have hobbies and friends of your own that aren't doom scrolling, watching Netflix and spending time getting drunk at the club with Bethany. This is for our mental health as well as yours. Most men will have hobbies and do not want to be shamed for them (assuming of course these hobbies in balance with time spent with you and our responsibilities). This asserts that you must find actual hobbies of your own to occupy your time because not only is it good for us but it's extremely good for yourself.

That's all I have at this point. What do you think?

I can understand why you want what you want, but in my experience with a good number of men they want a reward for doing the bare minimum of human decency. I don’t like how low the standards have become for so many men that just being a good person is considered going above and beyond, it allows shitty men to get away with being shitty because that’s “just how men are.”

[SoccerPlayer99]

No. This is basic human decency. Not becoming numb to the things we do for one another. Not asking for someone to kiss my toes. Just asking to be appreciated once in a while. You should also want this for yourself but this post is for men and for women to see how they think. Like I said in my subject, the whataboutisms should be left at the door. You do not need to agree. That's ok.

I’m aro/ace, so I’m happier to be alone. Like I said, there’s nothing wrong with what you want. You said I could express my opinion and that’s exactly what I did. If it don’t apply, let it fly, my guy

Nope. You're golden. by the way, not hitting on you, I've seen a lot of your opinions on here and they seem to be very well read. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Personality, kindness and compassion, respect, intelligence, a sense of humor, honesty and integrity, good communication skills, and shared interests and values. Anything else is just a bonus.

I like sporty girls, especially if they are dominant.

Finding balance in relationships and personal interests is key! It's important for both partners to feel appreciated, respected, and loved beyond physical interactions. Maintaining individual hobbies and friendships is crucial for mental health and adds richness to the relationship. Having those personal spaces ensures you come together with even more to share and discuss. Pursuing personal passions can greatly benefit both individuals and the relationship, providing depth and understanding. 🤝🎮
