Deep affection in my case. Having our faces close to each other seems the most affectionate to me. I usually don't close my eyes very often though. I usually only close my eyes when we kiss.
I actually do it with my cats too (actually more so than my wife). I like to put my forehead next to theirs and pet them while they purr and rub their whiskers on me. Then machine gun kiss them, "mwa-mwa-mwamwawmamwamwmawamwa!"
I have had them lean their foreheads on mine and close their eyes and be totally tranquil. Feels like a wonderful mental and a physical connection. Like souls hugging each other.
Maybe also related somewhat to dancing? Since we're usually a bit taller than a woman when we dance together, it's easy to express affection leaning our foreheads down on hers. And that can lead to a smooth transition to kiss sometimes, or we can just stay like that. I tend to think of it like dancing when I do that even when we aren't.
I like that description of souls hugging each other. In a way, I think it can be more intimate than even kissing to have faces that close together for a good while without even kissing, observing even the way each other breathe. My sense of humor has a tendency to make those moments relatively short-lived though as I start to get the urge to start humming and dancing. It's only when I'm being most serious and not the slightest bit goofy that I tend to hold that for a long period of time.
If you have a good, quality women who is feminine and brings you peace, that's one of the most valuable thing a man can have. Most men feel pressure to perform from their first waking breath in the morning until the last one at night, but that moment when you are holding your girl, and you are leaning against her forehead, and things are still and quiet, is PEACE, and can be the few moments in a day when the pressures of the world melt away. Women who can bring a man peace like this are sadly rare, but also highly valued.
Because they feel comfortable and safe with you , they love and care about you , and they are lost in you , they are happy to have you and pray that you love them like they love you
We're doing it because we love and cherish the moment (and probably you). You've never seen dogs do similar to those they love? If I was sitting on the front porch steps and the dog was let out with me, she would run straight up behind me and shove her nose under my arm, push her head through, plop her ass down on the porch right next to me, lean into me (nearly knocking me over) and I'd be sitting there with my arm around her like she was my girlfriend and she'd be showering me with her great love for me! I wish real girls would do that!
I think guys do for a woman, in my experience it´s like a kiss to the forehead more of a romantic and ensuring gesture to show her that he´s there for her and he´s fully present. It´s nothing guys do to get something from it but it´s a non verbal sign of deep affection and love her.
It's usually affection, though I do wonder if it's something picked up from movie scenes. Some dating coaches and pickup artists also tell men to do this kind of stuff (both male and female "experts" that is) because it supposedly has effects on women. I can't help thinking it's more just them preaching their own opinions and what seemed to be working for them though. Many human behaviours are just copycat stuff and people don't really know why they do things the way they do.
When a man does this woman are confused. In their confusion they are silent. This is a man's happy place. Look at the peace on his face and just shut. The. Fuck. Up.
To me it’s just a deep peaceful feeling, it puts me so at ease it literally feels like I’m on the cusp of falling asleep standing up. And personally what leads me to that particular positioning is when me and my girlfriend are talking about whatever but then we just look at each other for a moment without saying anything and then I think to myself, “Damn she's so fucking cute, and she chose me..” and boom I’m just feeling a blissfuly deep peace.
Fairly natural gesture of affection/love I think. Girls seem to like putting their heads towards our chest in the manner illustrated and the male response as illustrated is perfect. There is an element of submission from the girl and an element of protection from the male
We're in a zone where chaos stops. We like to organise chaos daily, always strategising so when we're in these situations it's like time has paused to give us a break and it's special. Good women make us feel like this
Its totally being in the moment, and savouring the smell, feel, presence, of an SO/Partner, in that space of time nothing else exists, It is one time when a man is relaxed enough to close his eyes without stressing about what else is going on around them.
Those are good pictures. They really capture well the feeling we get from that moment. It's like we can shut out the world and just rest in being with her
Trust Love Peace Deep affection All of them it's make you feel you have the world and give you more energy

For the same reason women love putting their heads on a man's chest and closing their eyes as if the world stopped around them. It feels good and make you feel closer.
I don't know how to answer this. It depends, I guess, on why you think dogs do it. All creatures, including us, are affectionate sometimes. I just thought it was funny. But it wasn't me who's comparing people to dogs or vice versa.
@AmandaYVR I think the reason a dog does that is because #1 he trusts you, #2 he feels close to you, #3 he wants love, #4 he wants you to know that you are loved, and #5 he is expressing loyalty and fealty.
My way of showing extreme affection for her and hope she wouldn't mind it leading to possible a kiss on her head then work my way down to her cheek then down to her lips.
Actually I feel like it’s a universal sign of love to rub foreheads to each other.
I did that to my passed grandpa, I wanted to give him the one last love touch, but I didn’t want to kiss him, because I wanted my lips to have a memory of his warm sweet cheeks, instead I rubbed my forehead onto his forehead and that was my goodbye kiss.
I think I got it from watching soaps in the early 90's while skipping school. Anyway I recognize it as a term of endearment kind of like women kissing a mans forehead.
these photos depict my relationship, not something from a movie, I have made these photos through AI, after I uploaded my and my ex bf’s real photo on there and asked AI to make similar photos
