In a relationship? Most people think that men want intimacy the most, but I have read about many marriages where there was plenty of sex, yet things did not work out. I read that what men want most is respect and admiration? Do you agree with that? If so, how could a woman respect her husband?

    

I think most people seem to want love and companionship, and most people want exclusivity and commitment because those two things are evidence that you are genuinely loved by the other person. if we respect of our partner the we'll also get respect from them.

Being in a very strong relationship og 4 years now, i think the number one thing me and other men want is jsut for there significant other to be happy, enjoy when they are with them, and be genuinely loved by them!

I have seen many of my friends amongst gals who are so abrasive to their hubbies in public which lowers the guy's self esteem. Most of the women I have come across these days, seem very dominant over men these due to their financial independence. I'm not siding men, neither against women. I just wanted to say that there should be a balance between the understanding level of the two. Agree? Hey, if you wanna get a better idea on it, why don't you talk to an expert? You can log on to the femina website and write a mail to their experts. I'm sure they will be able to give you a better insight on this matter. What say?

What I think is that men want to have shared activities with their partner a lot. They want to spend time together and doing the things they like too. Even though I may not like fishing but went sometimes. Even though I'm not a very sporty person but my boyfriend and I go snowboarding together still. I learned it from him.

I guess if you take time to learn each other's activities then you can share the things you like and actually liking spending quality time together doing the hobbies that both of you guys love. Not just sex.

trust))))thats the most important thing for bulding long term relationships)

A relationship takes 100% from both ends, and can not be based on sex alone.

I agree with Samyosemite, love companionship, understanding, respect and sex will give relationship a real spice to make it more colorful!

I don't think us men have a clue what we want in a relationship!!

soooo true ))) in most ways)
