What do men want in a relationship?
Introduction
If you ask men what they want in a relationship, they'll probably tell you the same thing. They want someone emotionally available and willing to put in the time required to build a strong connection with them.
Presence
Presence is the ability to be present in the moment. It's about being fully present with your partner, your family and friends—and yourself. When you're truly happy with who you are, then there's no room for anything else but love in your life!
You can't control what other people think or how they feel about you. But if all goes well, maybe one day they'll come around and see what everyone else already knows: You're awesome!
Trust
Trust is the foundation of a healthy relationship. It's important to be able to trust your partner with their secrets and vulnerabilities, as well as with your own. Trust is an ongoing process, not something you can expect in one sitting (or even one night). You have to work on building it over time—and this doesn't mean that your partner has to be perfect all the time or even always do what you ask them for!
Trust is built through honesty and integrity; if someone says "I'm going out tonight," but then instead stays home because they feel guilty about lying or hiding things from their partner, then this person will never be able to earn any trust from that person again because they've already broken one of its most basic tenets: honesty becomes impossible when there's deception involved at all levels within a relationship between two people who care deeply about each other's wellbeing (the same goes for lying).
To be challenged
Men want to be challenged. They want to be respected, and they also want to know that their partner values them as an individual. They might not say so in words, but this is what they mean when they say "I love you."
Physical chemistry
Physical chemistry is one of the most powerful forces in a relationship. It can be both positive and negative, but both men and women need to recognize that physical attraction can distract from your partner (or you).
You might think that this is just something you have to deal with on your own. But the truth is, no matter how much experience you have in dating, physical attraction will always play a role in how things work out between two people—even if they're not having sex!
Freedom
Freedom is the most important thing a man wants in a relationship. He wants to be able to be himself and make mistakes, because he's not perfect, and he does want to have his own life too.
There's no one-size-fits-all formula for what makes this possible; it has more to do with what you're looking for as a person than how many dates you've had or how long someone has been single. But if your partner makes you feel like they don't care about freedom at all—that they have their ideas about how things should be done—you might want to rethink things before it goes any further than kissing!
Recognition and appreciation
When you get the right guy, he'll appreciate and recognize your efforts. He wants to feel like he is making a difference in your life, which means he needs to know that you value his opinion and advice. If this isn't happening, it's time for some self-reflection—and maybe even some introspection about how much respect for others is an issue for you as well!
But what does recognition mean? It's more than just "thank you" or "nice job." Recognition requires action from both parties: if one partner does something nice (like taking out the trash), then they should return the favor by doing something nice (like cooking dinner). When men feel appreciated by their partners, they're more likely to open up emotionally and share personal details with them over time—which leads us to our next point...
Takeaway:
Men want to feel valued.
Men want to feel like they are being listened to.
Men want their partners' presence in the relationship and not just an idea of it.
Conclusion
The main takeaway from this article is that men want to love, affection, and attention. They also want to feel wanted by their partner. If you can give your man these things without breaking any of his rules then he will be loyal to you forever.
