I figured out what men want!

[Anonymous]

Or at least, what some men want.

This one couple we are close friends with, to be, at least from observations in close interactions with them, very happy. The things that seem to get other couples in trouble seem to avoid them. At a recent get together, I asked what do they love about each other.

They are both in their early 30s.

Husband: Her kindness, her maternal instincts and her beauty
Wife: His drive for success, his character and his desire to constantly improve himself

The answers seem pretty gendered but they are parents of a newborn and still gaze at each other adoringly. its so sweet.

But there you have it ladies. These are the traits marriage-minded men look for.

Men just wanna be told they’re awesome all the time.

If they take their own plate to the sink, they want to be told good job!

In bed you must pretend they’re the most amazing lay you’ve ever had.

If they tell you something you already know, you have to pretend to be so thankful with all wonder in the world to be impart this knowledge from them.

I mean, it’s pretty simple.

Early 30s with newborn.

Now ask me, with 20 years of marriage and teens.

Or don't ask, because you won't like the answer.

This is OP. Well, the wife definitely does this. I have never seen her be cross with her husband. She is always complimentary, no matter what he does, and she will never tell him he is wrong!Meanwhile, can't stop gushing over how lucky he is as she is so beautiful and nice!

Most early thirties couples with newborns are fighting and their marriage is in trouble.

LOL this sounds like one of those "HERE IS A REAL WOMAN" twitter memes that show a trust funder in an unbuttoned Quaker-style dress holding a baby while making a cake.

I guess some people truly embody this.

Thankfully that is NOT what DH likes about me nor does he need to be told how awesome he is all the time. Probably why our marriage is so great

Uh, you figured out what ONE man wants. News flash: not all men are alike.

This is so hilarious. First, the lack of logic (one relatively newly marrried man’s opinion = what all men want), second, it seems OP asked both but the only opinion that matters is what the man wants. Cute.

What do other men want?
