What Really Does 'respect' Mean To Men? by Nobody: 12:50am On Mar 11, 2023
Men, what do you mean exactly when you say respect is what you need from your spouses. Seems to me like men and women have different understanding of this word.

"Respect me because I have an outtie(a dick) while you have an innie(a vagina)"? Isn't that pretty much what it boils down to? undecided

Honor and obey me, Admire me... that sort of thing. Hold me in high esteem, more than you would any other individuals in your life as a result of my status as outie wielder over you. Caress my ego because it is of greater importance than yours as a result of the position I occupy as the outie wielder over your existence. undecided

Loyalty and recognition that's what they mean by respect, they value it more

Though am not speaking for the men

what men want is loyalty and respect so in exchange the woman gets protection, provision and love

it is really simple...I will break it down for u..When addressing your man..

<<<Be polite, avoid interrupting or causing disturbances/ having a tendency to "display street" especially if he is a gentleman. It is a turnoff..

<<<Listen to him first and respect differences in beliefs and opinions...a lot of ladies have "I know better mentality "..

<<<Think before you speak, your language and tone... There are words that sorry can not erase easily.. just be careful..You can't talk rudely and expects it to slide especially when he said he doesn't want your food for example..

<<<Lend a helping hand or ear and practice compassion.. (Just speaking only in African context).. you are not marrying your man alone.. he has family where he came from...If he asked, please I want to help ABC, be compassionate, if there's a reason to help please do so. And don't take it to your gossip group... it's that simple..

<<Men are the most less complicated been God almighty in his infinite mercies created 🤸🏋️🧔👦

Didn't you read through the list? It only applies to outtie wielders. If you have an innie you are way to complicated to deserve the exact same level of respect. lipsrsealed

Respect to men means...

1. Show appreciation to whatever he gives to you even if it's below what you expected.

2. Disagree with him without yelling or name-calling.

3. Be completely honest with him.

4. Don’t speak badly about him to your friends, cos they won't respect him.

5. Give him space.

6. Apologize to him when you’ve made a mistake, don't try to prove that you're right.

7. Let him be the boss once in a while...it would help to boost his ego.

8. Ask him for his opinion in matters that concern you.

9. Don't nag.

10. Accept him as he is, never compare him with your ex.

Respect would be basic human decency, but elevated in the context of a couple. So no denial of sex, arguing for no reason, or having a need to be right, making him look bad outside, seeing him as someone to conquer, instead of as an ally.

Comparing him with others, not having his interest central in your decision making. When there is a conflict between your perspectives, just let it go as far as the consequence is not fatal and one no gets hurt. Make him feel at peace in the house. The list goes on and on.

I think LOYALTY is simply what they mean as respect.
