Read on to find out if which of your male behaviors she secretly loves, and you may think twice about changing your ways.
1- Being a mans man
Although it may seem like a woman wants a man who dresses up more than he acts up, sometimes a football-playing, nacho-eating, jersey-wearing guy can be more appealing than youd think. Now and again, she enjoys seeing you in your element getting to rescue her or fix stuff or goofing off with the guys.
A woman doesnt date a man in order to have a competitor for prettiest hair or shoes; its likely that the differences between the two of you are what attracted her in the first place. It is true that when you go out to the ballet or to a nice dinner, shed like you to dress well and act better, but what she doesnt admit is that, for the most part, she appreciates your masculinity, no matter how unfinished it may be. You dont always have to be dressing up or holding doors to have her hanging off your every word, just make sure your beer belches are kept well-timed and in the company of your buddies.
2- Saying no
Having a mind of your own is a good thing, even if it means making her angry now and again. Guys tend to think that women want a boyfriend they can lead around by the nose, and who will do whatever hes told. While it would be a relief to know things would happen exactly how she planned them, being in a relationship like that could get really, well, boring. Women want a guy who has something to offer in terms of opinions and conversations. They also want a man with a personality. If a mans entire life is his woman, he wont have much else to talk about, and there will be few surprises left.
Also, women who enjoy being in power tend to enjoy being challenged once in a while (Read: A feisty argument can liven things up from time to time). So as much as shell have you believe that you should be under her control, dont be fooled and dont think that you need to be her pet boy to keep her hanging around. Keep your life and your habits, and just find ways to fit her in nicely.
3- Having a strong sexual appetite
While its true that anybody would feel used by a partner who only wants sex, its equally true that when a man cant control his urges for a woman, she revels in every minute of it. Its not often people get as much undivided attention as a man gives to a woman he wants to sleep with her. After a stressful day with coworkers, a woman can feel on top of the world with an attentive mate. If shes in a high-powered or competitive job, she might even enjoy the switch of roles that comes with not having to make the first move in a sexual encounter. It allows her to sit back and enjoy herself.
4- Being independent
Women are notorious for nagging about their men being too busy or not paying them enough attention or spending too much time at work or with the guys. It is, of course, very important to treat a woman like a queen if you want her to stick around. However, you should recognize that if you have no other interests, hobbies or things to do, she will likely feel stifled in the relationship. Not only does your woman appreciate having space as much as you do, it is also sexy for a man to be independent and self-sufficient. A needy or unambitious mate is not attractive to most women. So, while you need to set aside time for your lady friend, making time for your career and hobbies can be just as important to a relationship.
5- Being jealous
Jealousy is a very powerful emotion. Although unchecked jealousy can easily get out of hand, a touch here or there can really fan the flames of attraction. If she thought you really didnt care about the bartender who hit on her or her coworker who has a crush on her, shed think you didnt care about her at all, and shed likely find somebody else who did. When you ask the intentions of her close-working coworker or probe into her relationship with her personal trainer, she may chide you for your overactive imagination, but its certain that shes smiling on the inside. Remember: When it comes to jealousy, a little will go a long, long way, so use it very sparingly. Be aware of its power and allure: She can get really hot over a man whos protective of her assets.
6- Showing occasional vulnerability
Everybody likes feeling needed sometimes, and since women arent often in the position where they can protect their boyfriends, its nice to see you need help in other ways. For instance, she may gripe that you need more socks or shell complain that you always forget to pick up your dry cleaning or that you always need help picking out your tie/shirt ensemble.
It may sound silly, but sometimes helping you out in these little ways can make a woman feel good and more attracted to you. Its not that she wants to be your mommy, thats likely the last thing on her mind. Its just that if you need help and she can offer it, shell feel powerful, helpful and important. Men seem to think that they need to be an untouchable hero figure to be attractive to women, but thats just not true. A little hint of helplessness makes you somewhat vulnerable, and most women cant wait to sweep in and help.
7- Hiding your feelings
She may always complain that she doesnt know what youre thinking; she may ask to talk about your relationship or your day at work. It seems like she is always asking for you to pour your heart out so that she can know your innermost feelings. You know that women talk to their girlfriends about all their ups and downs, and especially about their worries. Likewise, it would probably be easier for her to know the score if you told her exactly how you were feeling.
Sometimes, however, the fact that youre a little bit mysterious or elusive can be a major turn-on. Half the fun is figuring out how to crack the case. Women enjoy the challenge of figuring out what youre thinking without having to be told. So keep it a mystery; share the important stuff, and dont feel pressured to give it all up when she asks you to. She might not hate it as much as you think.
8- Occasionally objectifying her
Women want to be respected for their brains and abilities, just like men do. They also want a handshake for a job well done, and they want a promotion when its due. But if a womans looking smoking-hot, she wants some attention for it. Of course, this depends heavily on circumstance and the relationship with those attention-givers.
But when it comes to a man she digs, that woman will not mind having her assets checked out. Women enjoy a compliment, just like men do. When it comes to looks, there are few better compliments than a man whose gaze wanders south of a womans face or strays to watch her walk away. Even a crude compliment will go miles from a trusted source. So dont think you have to be squeaky-clean or even upstanding to get her attention. If you notice her, shell be flattered, and flattery will get you everywhere.
