Men what makes you feel loved and respected?

[Anonymous]

Something that I often struggle with in relationships is fully demonstrating to my partner how much I love him. Men, can you provide examples of the types of things that make you feel loved and respected by your partner?

I know that there will be things that overlap between men and women, but I am particularly interested in hearing from men on this, as gender may influence answers here. Thanks.

They like when you cook for them, compliment them, laugh at their jokes. It’s not rocket science OP.

Once in a while tell me this session is all about me.
Tell me how much you appreciate how hard I work for our family and how lucky you feel to have me.
That’s it.

So, you want to be lied to?

I love you more and you are more beautiful to me today than 19 years ago when we first met.

Lying isn’t hard and delusion can have an upside.

Yeah like when you ask “does this make me look fat?”

Love: When someone takes the time to learn and eventually anticipate my needs. This could be very small things from having my favorite snack around, to a timely, unsolicited massage after a long day, to doing an errand that would be an inconvenience for me on a particular day.

Respect: Fully trusting my judgment on particular matters, even if things may not go exactly according to her plan, and relinquishing the need to control every little aspect. Soliciting my input and opinion on things that are "her" domain.

Sounds like you have a very healthy relationship.

Not even a lie to answer that since it's not the outfit that makes someone look fat.

Pretty much all of the above are good answers.

Sex
Food
Thoughtful gifts
Trusting his judgment and execution
Compliments
Expressing appreciation

Listen when he talks
Compliment his character
Express your appreciation for him
Enjoy things he does for you
Nasty sex
Give massage
Let him his space when he wants it

This but express appreciation is the #1 on the list.
