How to Get Dating and Relationships Right as a Man

It is a natural human trait to want to share our lives with a significant other. However, as society has changed, expectations have changed as well. Once upon a time, your parents would find you a suitable mate. After this, things became a bit more liberal and you would ask the father of your beloved for his daughter’s hand in marriage. There was still little feminine input. Now however, women are strong and independent and they make these decisions themselves. This means you actually have to impress them during the dating process and keep them impressed if you are in a relationship. However, men still don’t know just what women want, making it incredibly hard to figure out how to get this right.

Dating Tips for Men

According to The Huffington Post there is no answer to the question of how to find the perfect woman. However, by understanding a few of the things women like, you will greatly increase the chances of a woman becoming interested in you during the dating process.

 “Women aren’t as complicated as you think. We’re looking for the same things as you. We want a man who’s interesting to be with, who is polite and nice, fun to be with and has a positive outlook on life and wants a woman in his life. We like sex just as much as you do; it’s not the first thing on our minds. Women are eager to be asked out. They’re ready to find a great guy and you could be that guy!”

Relationship Tips for Men

Once you have gone past the point of dating and it is clear that you both like each other and want to take things further, you have to continue to work at it. The most successful couples, those who have been together for decades, will always tell you that their secret is to never stop making an effort. There are many tips out there that can help you keep your relationship alive. So long as these are based on positive emotions, they are likely to be good tips. Best of all, we can learn from television as well. Take, for instance, the show 30 Rock.

 “Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets.”

What does that mean? Unless you want to watch all the episodes of 30 Rock, you may struggle with that one a little bit. Essentially, it means that even though feminism is now widely accepted, we are still not on a level playing field and are still influenced by society. You will not insult your other half by telling her you like how she cares for you in other words. At the same time, pamper her regularly as well.

The website JC-TG.com explains it in more masculine terms, which are often a bit easier to understand:

“Relationships are like cars in that you have do certain things to keep them running, especially when your goal is to strengthen and preserve your bond with your partner.”

According to JG-TC.com, you have to be open with your partner and let her be open with you. Responsibilities and chores should be equally divided, as should childcare if you get to that point. The most important thing however is that you notice and appreciate all your partner does for you and that she notices how much you do as well. If you do all the right things but they don’t get noticed, you may as well not do them at all.
