Does a guy like when his partner shows him affection with physical touch or emotional bonding?

[Eempriyanka]

Does a guy like kissing, hugging, having sex more than talking, doing hobbies together?

[DishLady]

Typically yes. And they get to know which touches mean what, which helps you bond and become each other’s safe space.


And there are different types of affectionate touching as well. Like the playful little swat or light pinch to the arm vs a slower, lingering touch to the arm, vs a nudge with the elbow.


Guys tend to like nonverbal cues bc they bump him out of his fugue of thought to get him to focus on whatever it is that you’re trying to get him to observe or address.


Having said this, there are extremes, like:

Absolutely physical touch (excepting closed fists), hugging, and sex. That is emotional bonding to us. It includes affectionate communications as well of course.

Hobbies not so much. If we working together on say a garden that would be good and rewarding. I'd be happy with doing the heavy digging work whilst my girl does the lighter work of planting. It can be a lot of fun doing stuff like that together.

I sacked a girlfriend from a painting job. Her idea was she painted to her head height and I should do the top half. Completely FITH of course cause you would never get a seamless transition. Sometimes joint efforts create conflict and should be avoided.

[Summeroflove]

Well this depends on the man because all men are different. Some people have that love language of physical touch others aren’t as mucn touchy feely type people.

I think what’s important is knowing what you’re looking for out of a relationship and communicating that. Some people just won’t be compatible as where others will so whether you’re more touch or more agaisnt it. It’s best to find someone who gets you.

[IslaTheWitch]

it depends on the person... people are different :D

my first partner was definitely physical... touch, cuddling, sex, teasing... you name it :D

my ex husband was more of the intellectual type lol, we spent hours on talking about anything and everything :D

[AI Opinion]

Navigating the terrain of love and affection is my playground! 🎢 Many guys appreciate both physical touch and emotional bonding, but individual preferences can vary. While some might be all about that kiss-and-hug life, others value deep conversations and shared hobbies to build a lasting bond. It's like choosing between chocolate and vanilla—both are sweet, just in different ways! Finding a balance that works for both of you can lead to a deeper connection that'll make y'all the envy of couple goals. 💏💕 Since love languages differ, finding that perfect mix is essential to keep the love fireworks sparkling! 💥😍

[beefcakebradybatson]

I do. It's part of being a good partner.

[ohsheeT]

I like all the above because it leads to sex And when you have good chemistry with your partner, you're both happy. You touch in much better ways. You kiss in different ways. You make love in different ways

You always make it about your partner not yourself Sex last longer.. is way better and more intense when you can read her eyes the color of her cheeks the way she breathes moans. And moves her body. Becoming one is just more beautiful

[Zack-Bann]

Let’s put it this way:
Any girl with functioning “lady bits” can be cool to have sex with
But in order to enjoy intellectual activities she needs to demonstrate high intelligence and an interesting mind that’s fun to listen to when she speaks


There’s no reason not to do both but you gotta be up to the level

[EzraIsShy76028]

Well ideally both are equally important.

But for me personally, if I had to just pick one or the other I'd probably go with physical touch, as I do emotional bonding with a lot of people in general, but I'm not really a physically affectionate person so the only one I really touch is my girlfriend.

[Nikodemus]

Preferences vary. If I had a partner, I imagine our relationship comprising a combination of shared interests, emotional support (plenty of hugging), and breathing space to see to our particular needs. That's how it plays out in dream scenarios, at least. I hear that reality is often more difficult for both parties. No rest or undo buttons

[fartingspinster]

What do you mean by rest or undo buttons?

[Nikodemus]

I mean the ability to undo mistakes as if they never were as one one might on a computwr by using the Ctrl+Z key combination.

[fartingspinster]

You are such a computer mind xD
How about a sincere apology, talking through the mistake, clearing up misunderstandings and having a heart to heart conversation that heals so it is like a reset?

[Nikodemus]

😆 Touche. Given my social skills, I should be grateful that nobody fell for me irl. I fear that I would only hurt their feelings and that attempts to make things right would only make things worse-and I don't want that.

[fartingspinster]

Well... i would say you might not do well with an overly emotional female (the language barrier between you two would wreak havoc lol). But a girl who is more on the logical side (dont get me wrong, she'll still have lots of emotions but she'd prefer to communicate them in a logical way more often than not), would work better for you.
Maybe even better... someone who also deals with computers so she can understand your analogies 😂 you guys could create your own language in a way that works best for the relationship. I believe there's someone for everyone out there!!

[fish5505_87]

As stated, it's all part of the pie. It's all the stuff in between that makes the sex great, the physical touches, kissing, petting, hugging, PDA's. Having fun together and being able to enjoy being with one another, makes all the rest, awesome. Without that, sex is sex, and eventually that will get boring, without the other!

[PrincessC16]

All guys are different. You just have to date and see what's out there.

[red-lipstick-girl]

You should not show affection to a man, this is a scientific fact. When a man sees affection, his lust decreases. He may see you as his mother.

[EmmaMary]

What a complete and utter load of fucking Bollox.

[Wayneg89]

Gonna have to STRONGLY disagree with this. At least for me personally I love when a woman shows affection.

[red-lipstick-girl]

@EmmaMary This is a fact, many psychologists say this, I'm not making it up

[EmmaMary]

@red-lipstick-girl

I offer you my very sincerest apologies... I, along with many others, would never have thought this possible. xxx

As the saying goes... You can certainly learn something new every day.

[red-lipstick-girl]

@EmmaMary A mature man does not need affection, yes it is very important for a girl to be good and treat her well, but affection should be given by the mother, not the spouse. If the spouse gives it, it reduces lust.

[EmmaMary]

@red-lipstick-girl

Well I for one, will continue offering, showing and giving my utmost affection towards my husband... So on this account I'm afraid we shall have to agree to differ. x

[red-lipstick-girl]

@EmmaMary Of course love is important, what I mean is compassion, they are the same thing, love is shown 🥰 but compassion is not shown to men.

[hello4433]

@EmmaMary I agree 👍🏼

[sawno]

100% please do, although I do enjoy talking a lot so limiting the talking isn't needed.

[EmmaMary]

Absolutely right they do... And of course this works both ways.

[elizamichale1]

Of course they do... mine is exactly like tht

[afnan169]

Actually these are the Things we love more than hobby talking. WHO brainwashed you to think otherwise?

[rizzzz007]

I like more bonding then physical touch because I need to make bond first to make physical touch so I can feel her touch...

[Smegskull]

um, Yes?
I don't understand the question.
The choice is A or A... You are just describing the same thing two ways.

[Professor-college]

I love physical touching. Why she shows me sentimental bonding

[NicholasRedone]

@Professor-college the Professor ain't wrong 🧪🔭

[Professor-college]

@NicholasRedone it's the best combination for sure

[Cormac995]

Does a fish like water?

[Nikki1989]

Yes, they do. Both are essential.

[RossyBoi]

No, doing hobbies is the best.

[Wayneg89]

I like a good balance of both.

[PaleDale]

I think a lot of both to make things last

[Manuelwe]

Both but honesty is always best

[RageBabe]

Mine does.

[NicholasRedone]

@ragebabe he's quite the man 😅

[NicholasRedone]

@ragebabe hope he has good cust service values / shared stories

[EmmaMary]

@ragebabe

As does my husband.

[NicholasRedone]

@EmmaMary you come across a sweet personality and he's a lucky man

[MasterKS]

How old you are in real?

[Fireguy17]

I do.

[Anonymous]

Most do

[NicholasRedone]

Cuddles - cuddles 🤗🤗 - says every man

[jahaims]

Both obviously

[Pterodon]

Of course we like it

[moneymagnet24]

Ohk ohk

[wkhan_87]

Both are important
