More than sex ...

apparently is the one thing women can have difficulty giving ...

what is that one thing ???

Their heart!

A really good sandwich???

Nurturing... men want to be nurtured and cared for, to feel safe.

An admission of being wrong

I know most men need a woman to get in touch with his feelings and his heart as they're mostly in their head.
This requires a woman to dare to be vulnerable and open and show her true feelings, which is our natural state but still quite scary.

But to say men want that... I don't think they're consciously aware of it.

Well for me I need her to be my BEST friend. The one I can tell anything & everything too and not be judged. My opinion only.

1. The Truth.
2. Peace and quiet.

a partner to share experiences with :)

Gifts

I gave my first love laughter,
I gave my second tears,
I gave my third love silence
Thru all the years.

My first love gave me singing,
My second eyes to see,
But oh, it was my third love
Who gave my soul to me.

- Sara Teasdale - (1884-1933)

Trust

Trust I guess

Power to rule... money to get many girls... beautiful wife as a trophy...

awesome -good points -the in our head part has good uses -but we definitely could use help with the other stuff. I think it goes both ways though -and we are complimentary to each other in that way.

again -though they may not know or admit it.

also... someplace they do not have to be on the defensive -or even offensive -as with much of the outside world -to feel safe laying down the shield, sword and armor, as it were.
I'd imagine it's true for women, also

Friendship

Yes, like a safe haven. I believe it is true for women as well, at least for me it is. Though I believe it may be tougher for men because of the stigma and conditioning men grew up with... that they are to be manly, strong, and are the ones who care for and protect the woman in their life. I believe a man wants that safe haven in a woman, for the woman to be that safe haven. Someone who they can 'just be' with. To lay down the sword and be all that they are, vulnerability and all.

Women are innately the nurturers, however, when it comes to men, we have difficulty nurturing them because it requires letting go of preconceived ideas and conditioning of what a man is "supposed" to be. That generally doesn't allow for human emotions such as fear, vulnerability, or any other emotion that is believed to be weak.

Another difficulty is the ability to nurture a man without treating him like a child, mothering him. Doing so while letting him hold his dignity can be challenging. It comes easy when it's a child in need of nurturing, and they need the mothering, to be taken care of. Men want and need to be cared for, not taken care of, imo.

Respect, cats and cheesecake. I am easy going

women cant xpect men to be perfect. and women are no saints them selfs
