The kind of attention he craves

Every man wants to feel appreciated by the woman he loves, but the kind of attention he craves may surprise you, as revealed in the testimonies below.

Don, 35:

For me it’s the simple things — saying ‘I love you’ for no reason at all, sending me silly messages, even when things don’t look so great.

Phillip, 36:

What I find is that the women nowadays are too independent and they find it hard to let a man be a man and allow him to feel needed. I had a female friend once who would rather change the bulb herself with the risk of getting an electric shock rather than ask a man to do it for her. Ridiculous! You must know as a woman when to take the Superwoman cape off.

Julian, 33:

Just treat me like an equal. Whether she’s more educated, makes more money, looks better, whatever, men just wanted to be treated like an equal part of the unit. No showing off from the ladies!

Phillip, 37:

Know when I’m tired and without me asking, rub my shoulders or my feet. Quit the nagging for a while — silence is golden. Just let me enjoy a beer and some football when I get home, instead of bothering me about the car tyre that needs air.

Connor, 25:

Tell me you love me after an argument. I should always know this, even when you’re angry, and even if we’re at our lowest point.
