What men want in a relationship I call the 3 A’s: Acceptance, Appreciation and Affection.

Acceptance of who they are. They don’t want to live in fear of a woman wanting to change them. It’s happened to them many times already more than likely. A woman falls in love and then starts complaining about things she said nothing about in the beginning. She may think he drinks too much. She may think he goes out with the boys too much. She may start to buy him clothes and change how he dresses. The list goes on and on. Her complaints translate to him that he is not accepted.

Appreciation for what they do. Men don’t always show love in the same way  women do. Women are different so to expect them to show love from a place of emotion is just not going to work. Men show it by the things they do for you. It may be changing a tire, mowing the grass, taking out the trash. Show appreciation for the good things they do in your life. Take the time to tell them and thank him for being a man.

Affection is another big thing when it comes to what men want in a relationship. They like to be desired. It wouldn’t hurt to make a first move sometime. When you remove your affection, men notice. Don’t remove your affection from a man. You can lump sex in with affection. Men don’t have the outlets that  women have for intimacy.

They crave a partner and commitment just as much as women do.
