10 Thought-provoking Needs Men Have In Relationships by Ilal: 11:05pm On Dec 15, 2022
Do men have feelings too? Yes, they have feelings too. Thousands of articles out there is primarily focused on what women want and need in life and love. Then comes the question like “what about men? What do men want and need in life and love?”
what a man need in his relationships

The fact is that we shouldn’t focus only on either group, and instead all strive to learn how we can be better in our relationships.

Here are basic needs men have in relationships:

1. Men need a teammate in life and love.

There’re men out there who want to be in command of everything in their relationship like a military general and don’t value your opinion or input in anyway. But we aren’t talking about such men in this article because they don’t worth our time and energy.

As a lady, you shouldn’t give this type of guys your time and attention. They are a complete waste of time.

They’re not men my friends and I would want to be friends with.

Now, let’s talk about the stable and goodhearted men:

They need a teammate in life and love.

They need someone they can count on, confide in, and work together with in order to achieve the life you’ve both dreamed of. Just like you have in any successful sport team, teamwork plays a vital role.

You might start a business together.

You might have separate careers.

You might be a stay at home mom or dad while your partner brings home the bacon.

You shouldn’t bother about what people will think and say about you or your relationship, only that it works for you as a couple.

That’s what the best teams in the world do: They figure out each individual member’s strengths and then put them in positions to capitalize on their strengths.

2. Men need their self.

This is important for both of you. In that you both need your own self/identity, but you also both need each other to have your own self.

A lot of men are trying pretty hard to get a woman’s attention that they sacrifice who they really are in the process. They do whatever they think she wants, mold themselves to her and sacrifice time with friends or family or doing the things they love.

Spending time with your partner is as important as yourself discovery. But you should also have your own passions and interests that bring you joy outside of the relationship. Remember there was a you before the relationship.

You treat your relationship and your partner like your only source of existence and that’s not good enough. If you do so, you’ll put yourself under a lot of pressure.

The challenge for most men and women is developing this identity in the first place.

Most people make decade’s worth of decisions based on making a partner happy, making money, raising kids or something that is totally outside of themselves. It is a noble course for sure, but there need to be limits to everything worth doing and doing well. Be sure that each decision you make is in alignment with your values and beliefs.

They are challenging to implement right? Absolutely.

Are they necessary for your own happiness and fulfillment? 100% yes.

3. Men need to feel desired.

Have you heard the phrase; “women don’t need men!”

That’s right, men are well aware that women don’t need them, and that’s why many are facing existential crises.

To be sincere, I believe it’s men’s fault. We’ve held on so long to the belief that we need to take on certain roles and responsibilities in relationships that it’s stunted our ability to grow and evolve with the times.

Though, the point here stands. Men still need to feel like they have a purpose. You know, a task or you can call it a mission. This is a way men naturally contribute to life and the relationships.

This is only becoming worsened by the lack of need itself. Men aren’t getting that “fix” of “being the man” in the relationship.

As a result, lots of men are questioning the value they bring to their relationships. They’re questioning themselves. They’re always left wondering where their place is and it takes a toll on them all.

“So, what are women supposed to do? Should they pretend like they need men sometimes just to make them feel better?”

Hmmmm, maybe yes.

On a more serious note, guys of this generation don’t need such. They like to open your door, pull out your chair and help themselves seat comfortably. They like to carry all of the groceries in a single trip. They like to contribute to your life and make your days easier. Is that too difficult to understand?

Asking for his help, even if you don’t need it is going to make him feel like he has a purpose and a place in your life. Common, we all know you can carry your own groceries, but then, just ask for his help. It is another great way to start a conversation with someone of interest.

Naturally, women often have natural instinct to be nurturing, caring and have biological urges to have children.

Men on the other hand, don’t understand that either, but they have similar biological urges in the ways of wanting to provide and protect. So, even if you don’t need his help, just ask.
