Women think they know men so well, it’s hilarious. The truth is, there are a lot of things that you may not know about your man and it could be hurting your relationship. There are many different personalities out there, and sometimes they clash. One of the hardest parts of a relationship is getting to the point where you know your partner enough to see things through their perspective. Up until that point you’re really just doing what you think you should do, and hoping for the best. There are a lot of women out there though that really don’t have a clue about their men. Here’s a good place to start.
1 - Making him jealous is a way to keep him
Women think it’s okay for guys to come up and talk to them, buy them drinks, and it’s no big deal. They’re used to that type of attention and love showing their man (and themselves) that they can still be attractive to other men. While you can’t stop someone from coming up to you, women that constantly look for that extra attention just to make their man jealous are really just pushing their men away. Sure, at first your man might hold you a little tighter since he doesn’t want to lose you, but after a while he’ll just think you’re not mature enough to handle a real relationship. The biggest kicker, once the tables are turned and your man is getting some attention from other females it doesn’t seem like such a non-issue all of a sudden.
2 - He wants you to be bossy
This should be obvious to you already. If you’re really think your man wants you to treat him like your slave you’re insane. There are a lot of women that want to take charge of the relationship, and for some men that is what they’re looking for. However, there’s a difference between taking charge and just treating someone like crap. A relationship is still just a partnership of two people. You should treat each other with the same amount of respect in order to really keep it healthy over the long haul. Even if he’s a submissive guy, he wants to be treated like a person.
3 - He thinks you’re sexiest when you’re all dolled up
Sure, we love when you’re all made up in that nice black dress, but it’s really not our favorite. To a guy a woman that is cute and sexy in just normal every day clothes is one that we want to be with. Most guys are very low maintenance, and we want a woman that can be the same. Looking dynamite in a nice dress is something a lot of women can do. Looking sexy in just an old t-shirt and panties when you wake up in the morning is something we’ll think about all day.
4 - He loves making it all about you
A good man does like to make his woman feel special, but doesn’t want the whole relationship to be about her. Relationships are a two-way street, and both partners should feel like an integral part of it. There are women that believe their man is so lucky to be with them that he should just grovel at their feet, but if that’s the case what is your relationship really worth? If you have a man that makes you feel special and makes you feel good about yourself, you should cherish that. Make it about him sometime so he knows that you notice all the good things he does for you too. Otherwise, you’ll just end up losing him to another woman who actually sees him for the good man that he is.
5 - He looks at other women because he’s a jerk
Men look at other women, it’s a fact just like women look at other men. Even if you’re in a great relationship and you love your partner to death you still might look at a pretty girl that walks by, it’s human nature. It doesn’t mean you’re trying to sleep with them or even wanting to talk to them. It’s a basic animal instinct that just happens. There are some limits however. If you’re man is simply gawking at every woman that comes by and not even trying to play it off then maybe there’s an issue there. But in general, if all he’s doing is glancing every now and then, you don’t have anything to worry about.
When it comes to relationships, it’s best to not believe the hype. Take your partner seriously and treat them with the same amount of respect as you expect them to show you. It can be a little more difficult with men, since they’re less likely to just tell you what they’re thinking or feeling, but you should be able to tell in his demeanor how he feels about the relationship. Forget what you think you know and start seeing things from his perspective. You’ll both be better for it.
