Women tend to overthink when it comes to men. They feel they have to be the prettiest to catch and keep his eye. Some feel they have to possess that slim-thick body bathed in cocoa butter and coconut milk, while others feel that they have to be a “pornstar” in bed. These are all things that men like however, they are not the main things that keep them interested and committed to a woman. What does, is simple – a woman that makes them feel desired.
Yes, a man has to feel desired in the relationship! For one, men are egotistical creatures. They thrive on having their egos stroked. Hence being the best athletes, best at their jobs, having the most money, the fanciest car and the nicest house are things that men strive for because this gets them attention and commendations, thus stroking our ego. However; the biggest ego boost of all for a man is having a girl by his side that desires them.
Men are egotistical creatures. They thrive on having their egos stroked.
Without feeling desired men stray mentally and ultimately physically. They begin to question themselves and foster feelings of inadequacy. They will start asking themselves “Am I getting too fat?”, “Am I a boring lover?”, “Is what I bring to the table enough for her?” Yes, they become confused creatures when that is lacking, because now it’s as if their proverbial “balls” have gone soft and their mojo is all gone.
Women tend to struggle to grasp this, even laugh when brought to the reality that not desiring their men affects them that badly, labelling it as “petty”. They can’t fathom how the seemingly stronger sex is so emotionally inclined. It’s not their fault though, society has groomed them that way – men hunt and take care of their families and men do not cry. But just think, aren’t men humans too?
