If Men Are Different, Do You Know What Men Really Want? by abasifo(m): 9:10pm On Apr 20, 2009

If Men Are Different, Do You Know
What Men Really Want?

Are men really so different than women?

The answer is going to surprise you.

I’ll explain it like this…

When it comes to love, sex and relationships, you know from your own experience that men and women are different.

Men don’t think and feel exactly the same way most women do about a LOT of things.

Take how men are with SEX as an easy example.

Men are more visual, and in some circumstances have some challenges with fidelity. Mature men have a specific way of handling their sexual nature and sexual desire that’s much different than most women.

But here’s the strange part…

Men actually have more in common with women than you think because men are first and foremost human beings. Which means…

Men want to feel cherished.

Men want and need to feel your desire for them, or they don’t feel attractive, significant, or important.

Men want to feel a sense of safety within a relationship.

Men feel unappreciated and unheard if a woman doesn’t notice or compliment them.

Men also want to have the kind of FUN that can’t be planned in a relationship, just like you.

But here’s what men want most of all…

Like you, a man just wants to feel UNDERSTOOD and accepted unconditionally for who HE is.

I can’t overstate the importance of this for men.

Men have an intense burning need and desire to feel understood by the woman he’s with just for being the man that he is.

If a woman makes a man feel great in this way, there’s nothing that will take him away from her.

Not day-to-day relationship issues.

Not arguments.

Not hurt feelings.

Not other women.

Nothing.

Why? Because if a woman can make a man feel all those things, and understand and accept him for being a man, he will be utterly devoted to her.

This is one of THE BIG SECRETS to a man’s heart, and I’ve just given it to you.

Now comes the hard part - knowing what to start doing differently with a man when he’s right there in front of you and some of the same feelings or frustrating situations come up…

How will you handle this with him?


What If You Could Forget What You
Thought Was Wrong With Men… And
Give Your Man A Fighting Chance?

Let me repeat something I’ve been getting at here, because it’s very important: What you misunderstand about men are the things most certain to tear even your good relationships apart.

You may be wondering how this is true, and why it’s so important.

Let me tell you a quick story…

Once upon a time a woman was wandering the land in search of a wise woman who was rumored to know the secret of True Love.

She heard from the townspeople in her village that if she sought out the guru, she would tell her the secret and she would be happy forever. So she walked for days to get to the top of the mountain where she heard the guru lived.

When she arrived, the guru greeted her silently and then set about to pour them both a cup of hot tea. When the guru poured the woman’s cup, she kept pouring and pouring until the tea overflowed onto the table and the floor.

“Stop!” the woman said, “The cup is overflowing.”

The guru looked at her calmly and said, “The cup is like you.”

“You are already full of your own ideas. How can I show you anything when your cup is already full? It will just spill out.”

The guru went on… “You must empty your cup before I can fill you up with the Truth.”

Hmm… makes you think.

If you think you already know what men are about… you’re in for more unhappy surprises in your relationships.

This might be hard to hear, but the things that you worry most about in men are often the things you are bringing into your relationship and frustrating him and yourself with.

Before you can have a clear and loving relationship with a man… you’ve got to empty your cup first.





The 3 “Man Myths” That Will
Push A Good Man Away

Let’s take a look at some of the myths and beliefs about men that can lead good relationships down the wrong road.

Tell me if any of these things about men sound true to you:

* Men like a challenge. They like the chase. If you’re too “easy” or approachable, they’ll get bored or lose interest.


* Men are dominant in relationships and women therefore are unable to express themselves.


* Men cheat and are incapable of being monogamous.


* Men would secretly love to date and sleep with different women the rest of their life rather than just have to stay with one serious committed relationship.


* Men just want to have fun and “freedom” and no responsibility.


I want to suggest something to you right now.

Whether or not you know it at this moment, many of the beliefs you hold about men are quite simply NOT TRUE.

And not only are a lot of these beliefs about men inaccurate, many of them are downright the OPPOSITE of the truth.

Not only that, but I want to suggest something even more profound.

The beliefs or “myths” that you hold onto, consciously or not, are actually PREVENTING you from having the kind of intimate, connected and committed relationship you could be having with a man.

And to a man… what you believe is true about him from the moment you get into a relationship, your own limited beliefs are preventing a man from feeling great with you, as they cast a shadow over him in your entire relationship. And he knows it and is frustrated by it to no end.

Most men don’t like to feel “wrong” ever in the first place in relationships.

But more to the point, they certainly don’t want to feel like a woman is pinning all the ugly warts that every other “creep” from her past might have had on him.

The point is… these misconceptions and beliefs about men you’re clinging to are actually causing you to HURT your relationships, and hurt the man you’re with.

Now that you get this, my first questions to you are:

1) How can you tell if you’re holding onto false beliefs or myths about men?

And next…

2) How can you tell if those misconceptions are ruining your chances for true and lasting love and a fulfilling relationship with a man?

And finally…

3) How can you “UNDO” those misconceptions and actually understand a man better so you can help a man have an easier time pleasing you and loving you?

Thanks, nice read!
The same rules apply to opposite sex too.
Everyone wants to be appreciated, comfortable, understood and be themselves with their loved ones.
