What men really look for in a relationship

In the 30’s Dr. George W. Crane, an American expert in marital relations, worked on what we know as ‘marital rating scale’ (marital rating scale), which allowed the couple to rate each other. A neglectful wife could receive a low rating just for painting her nails with red nail polish, or because she slept with curlers in her hair. It’s really impressive to imagine what made couples argue in the past. But nearly 100 years have passed, and the idea of ​​a perfect wife and husband has changed a lot. Today the requirements are quite different.

We decided to do a little more research on this and found out what men look for most in a relationship. Of course, people don’t always look for the same things, but some of the characteristics below seem like they will never go away.

1. Men can’t stand compliments

People tend to think that men love compliments, but American relationship expert Rinatta Paries argues that honesty is valued by men on the same level as loyalty and respect.

Really men want to hear the truth from their mates, but they want truth, not criticism. In general, men say that women should honestly express their opinion, but not a judgment.

2. Men have nothing against talking about life

Interestingly, men have nothing against a conversation without a specific purpose. Regardless of what people might think, in general, men don’t like quiet women because they really want to know how they are doing.

Writer Deji Akingbade, from the University of Kansas, USA, states that one of the main reasons for the end of a relationship is lack of communication. If two people have nothing to talk about, the situation becomes worrying. Communication is an aid for people to understand the feelings of others, as we are not yet able to read our thoughts.

3. Are more romantic than women

Gwendolyn Seidman, an American cyberpsychologist and expert in interpersonal relationships, carried out a comparative analysis of romanticism in men and women and came to a rather controversial conclusion. Amazingly, men are more romantic than women since, for them, it is very important to have strong emotions, and they are the first to recognize feelings. Women, on the other hand, are more pragmatic and selective when looking for a life partner.

4. Some people love women with makeup

Most men claim that there is nothing better than natural female beauty. But, according to data from an American dating site, women who put on makeup and comb their hair receive more invitations to dates. Therefore, although men look for natural beauty, they value the physical appearance and the way women take care of themselves.

5. The way to a man’s heart is in his stomach

Men worry about home cooking. American psychologist Patrick Wanis is sure that food preparation is of fundamental importance in a relationship.

Good smells create a feeling of warmth, and besides, men are really happy when a woman decides to learn how to cook something for them. Men like women who enjoy cooking.

6. Men don’t want to attract the attention of strangers

7. Men love self-sufficient women

A self-sufficient and secure woman is part of an egalitarian relationship. Whenever a problem arises, the couple faces it together and the woman is a source of support. But that is not all. Self-sufficient women usually show that they are satisfied with life, and don’t live complaining about everything that happens.

8. Men don’t need as much space for them

American psychologist and author Deborah Tannen says that women want to spend time with their men, and men prefer to retain a certain degree of independence. Of course, every couple knows how to reach a level of balance in this regard. The important thing, according to experts, is that the couple agrees with the fact that love can suffocate and unhealthy jealousy can destroy even a very solid relationship.

9. Men don’t just think about ‘that’

The stereotype that men only know how to think about sex is a thing of the past. American psychologist Jed Diamond argues that some women are largely to blame for this delusion, as they expect a certain behavior from their partners: usually a brash and a bit brutish man.

In reality, men do not only care about intimate relationships, but they want to feel safe, welcomed and understood. Do not think that every man wants to show all the time that he is ‘macho’.

10. Men are not afraid of a serious relationship

Men are not afraid of marriage. Some studies carried out at the University of Binghamton, in the United States, say that men suffer more than women with the end of a long relationship. Also, according to statistics, women are ready for marriage when they are younger than men. Neurobiologists explain this difference by claiming that women’s brains reach maturity earlier than men.

Either way, it’s important to understand the other person’s needs and take care of them so that fear doesn’t affect the future.

11. Men also dream of children

If you think men dream of having a male child, you are wrong. According to a survey conducted by the Gallup Institute in 2011, most people dreamed of a daughter. Psychologists explain this tendency by the fact that male children tend to cause more problems, with possible fights at school, for example.

In general, people on social media say almost the same thing: in the modern world, the sex of the baby is almost unimportant. That is, comparing what is better, a boy or a girl, does not make any sense.
