Women have for a long time wanted to understand the ways and thoughts of a man. It is interesting to know that men and women do not understand relationships in the same way.
Life would be a lot easier if things were as simple as women would hope for, but unfortunately, that isn’t the case. Every now and then, we have to see things from the other side.
There are some very few simple things men have declared they dislike when it comes to dating women. Exploring the minds of men we found out what exactly these things are.
Don’t change once you guys become exclusive
Men actually hate it when women change the moment things get official between both of them. For them, the dating period is a time for evaluation. For men, everything women are fine with during the “knowing me knowing you” stages of the relationship, they should be fine with when things get exclusive.
If you were okay with him hanging out with his boys periodically, visiting the gym and cooking meals, and you never complained about it during the early stages, then don’t change things when you become exclusive.
Continue to do the things that made him want to elevate and advance the relationship in the first place.
Setting parameters around sex – especially if you want it, too!
Never set parameters around your sex life. Sex should not be a reward in a relationship. Something like a simple argument that isn’t a deal-breaker, should not have you roll over to the other side of the bed, unconcerned and unresponsive to the act of sex.
Sex has nothing to do with the argument or misunderstanding and you need to allow it to remain so.
Go have sex if you or your man wants to and then roll over or go to the other room. You can find other ways to handle issues and let peace reign.
Having expectations you don’t meet yourself.
Women tend to set really high standards for their partners. They tend to say what they are looking for, but not truly mean it.
How do you want a financially stable man when your spending habits are terrible? You want a humble man, how humble are you yourself? Women need to understand that they attract what they are.
They need to know that all relationships evolve and men do their best to make these expectations come to life. But if these become unrealistic and unattainable, it simply wears out the men and thins out even the newest of relationships.
Letting social media control your expectations.
This era of social media has corrupted the idea and understanding of a relationship. Men hate the constant need to be seen, and equally, hate trying to live up to celebrity relationships instead of building one.
Unlike women, men do not have the constant need to be seen and noticed. Women, however, feel the need to live up to expectations as predicted on social media. From the outfits they wear to the way they dance, women just desire people to know it all. Men do not like nor respond to this.
Dependency without support
The biggest complaint would be dependency [displayed by women].
Traditionally, men assume the role of the provider. Although this isn’t an issue, it becomes one when he becomes a sole provider in a relationship. This includes lavish vacations, expensive dinners and other things women like to post for the world to enjoy.
Women need to bring more than demands to the relationship table. Pulling your weight in the game does not only earn you respect from your man, but it also makes you a valuable part of the relationship.
So ladies, before things get official between yourself and your man, make sure you evaluate yourself and know you are ready to put up with everything that you have been ok with so far. Do not expect things to change only because he made things official, that will simply put him off.
