If you're female, I need to know what you want out of a man. I mean really. Don't sugar-coat it. Post anonymously if you have to. Or email your answer to me.
What did a man do to or for you that made you feel more special than any other man has ever been able to make you feel? If it's never happened, what have you been waiting for a man to do?
What makes you love a man?
What makes you passionate about a man?
(They are not necessarily one in the same.)
If you're a man please share with me what you think women want. What has worked for you and what has not?
Thanks. This will all make sense eventually.

ReplyDeleteWhat makes me love a man? Honesty, dependability, loyalty, sense of humor, friendship
What makes me passionate about a man? Passion for me (yes that includes sex!), passion for life and his hobbies, passion for his family. Having someone that IS passionate makes you more passionate I think. Honesty, I love a guy who is a straight shooter and honest even when I would rather here "sure honey you look like you weigh 120lbs in that dress" When I know it makes me look horrible but I need someone to tell me not to wear it in public.
I am intrigued about where this is going.
Hmmmm, I'm interested to see what you're doing with this info...if I know you, it's gonna be GOOD!!
ReplyDeleteHere's what makes me love a man: definitely sense of humor. I appreciate someone who can laugh at the little things in life and most importantly laugh at themselves. Someone who knows when to take life seriously and when not to. Also, honesty and loyalty are huge to me. Oh and (this is HUGE) someone who understands what it means to be monogamous. Someone who I don't have to walk on eggshells around...you know, someone who truly is my best friend and wants to know everything about me...the good, the bad and the ugly.
Honestly, I can't think of one thing that any man has ever done that has made me feel special. I mean, there are little things here and there but nothing really stands out in my mind. Sad, huh?
I think what I would really want is just for him to understand me...to just totally get me. Not necessarily for him to be a mind reader but for him to just understand why I'm sad about something or why I feel so passionately about something without being judgmental or opinionated.

I want a man who doesn't have to FIX everything, and I'm not talking about the fridge or the garbage disposal because I'm totally into having him fix any appliance he wishes. I'm talking about when I have a problem or an issue or I'm just in a slump. It would be GREAT if he could just sit there and give me a hug and tell me it sucks and give me some truffles. Why in God's name does he have to FIX it?? I don't want him to fix it, I just want him to listen. Why is that so damn hard?
ReplyDeleteAlso ... I think it would be AWESOME if he could do stuff around the house without expecting a trophy. Yes, I know that he takes care of the outside and I take care of the inside, but my job is 24/7 so once in awhile, it might be nice for him to tackle the 4,764 dishes in the sink without needing twenty minutes of praise.
What makes me love a man: a great sense of humor and compassion.
What makes me passionate: seeing a man with his children. I have no idea why, but there's nothing like seeing a man play with his kids to make me melt.

Thank you so much for your time and experience Mel, Helene & Andrea. This is just what I was looking for, and just the type of people (smart, humorous, loving) that I wanted to hear from. Hugs!

Am I too late to comment?
ReplyDeleteWhat I love... honesty, dependability, humor, loyalty. A man who knows how to make a stiff drink and protect me from danger.
What is passionate... strong hands, piercing eyes, and that boy smell that in another hour could be bad BO but right now is just manly.
Neville has done some nice things for me in the past. Like rescue me from a mountain when my car blew an oil piston or something. Or when he planned a romantic picnic lunch when I was 6 mos pregnant. Or most recently, when he gave me a lovely backrub without putting any expectations that this was foreplay or in hopes of "gettting any" later. Sure, he can be a wicked jerk sometimes too... but than man surely knows how to charm me.

I love a man who knows what he wants and what he likes, even if it's different than what I like. I love a man who understands me, gets me in every way. Most of all, he appreciates every single thing about me. This includes all the goofy things, like when I dance in the kitchen or sing in the shower, or say some silly "gangsta" thing that sounds so rediculous coming out of my mouth.... Whatever. I guess I like it when someone loves me for me and is not out to change me. He still tells me that I am beautiful even though I think I'm large now. He tells me I'm beautiful even when I think I look my worst. Just writing all these things makes me really appreciate the man that I already have because my husband does all these things. Thank you for asking this question, really.
ReplyDeleteThe most touching thing he ever did was this: When my dad had a massive stroke and was in the ICU at the hospital, my mom wanted to stay the night in his room. There was nothing for us to lay on because people don't usually let you do this. I wanted to be there with my mom to give her support, as this was the worst day of her life. She had married her high school sweet heart and 47 years later, he was dying and she couldn't do anything about it. Well, I decided to stay with my mom that night in the ICU and I asked my husband (boyfriend at the time) what he wanted to do and he replied "I'm going to stay here with you". So we gathered up some hard plastic chairs and tried to make the best out of it by sleeping on things that were obviously meant for temporary sitting. It was so uncomfortable, but I felt it was necessary to be there for my mom. He felt it was necessary to be there for me and so he did. I didn't have to ask him to do that, he just did it. That's when I realized I had a knight in shining armour.
So touching, Brenda. Thank you so much for this.
ReplyDelete1) I'll be waiting for your "gangsta" speak lol
2) Most men would definitely NOT stay at the hospital with you. In fact, I can think of only one who would.
