To Feel Like Your Hero. Guys like to be the protector and defender, as they feel it is their job to take care of you. Let them know that you see them as your very own Superman.
Acceptance. No one likes to be judged, and it’s important to let your man know that you accept him for all he is physically, emotionally, intellectually, and that you support him in whatever he needs your support with.
Communication. This is one of the most vital components of a relationship. Knowing when things are good as well as bad, is important to keep your relationship happy and healthy. Without communication (and trust), all else is lost.
Their Own Lives. Men don’t want to feel policed. Instead, they want to know that you have the capability of trusting them, along with knowing that they don’t have to be kept on a leash.
Praise and Approval. Men have tender egos, and it’s no secret. They need to constantly be reassured of their goals, life choices, sexual prower’s, and attractiveness (to name a few).
Intimacy. Remember that this is both physical and emotional. Physical intimacy, whether a simple touch or full on physical love is what men need to feel loved, but emotional intimacy is just as important, because it erases all of the fears of being perceived as weak for revealing emotions.
Security. Of course, men and women alike are attracted to the certainty of being in a committed relationship. A man especially, however, will not open up to his woman in a serious, intimate way, nor will he demonstrate any sort of vulnerability or commitment to a relationship if he doesn’t think you’re committed. Make sure he knows that you’re in it for the long term too!
