Men and women were created differently by God. A man is said to be naturally logical  beings while a woman tends to be more emotional.

Also, it is a known fact that men are more visually-stimulated while women tend to be stirred by what they hear.  No wonder what matters to men might not matter to women and what women hold dear might mean nothing to men.

Below is a list of what men really want which most women don’t know:

1. Men want to be respected
Whether in public or private, all men want to be respected. They excel when they know they are trusted and admired. Research shows that men want more of respect than love. Men would rather withstand loss of loving feelings from their partners than to lose their respect.

2. They are sometimes insecure
Men are sensitive when it comes to their role in life, whether at work or at home as a father and husband. Sometimes they could be vulnerable, which of course they would rarely admit. A woman that acknowledges her husband’s role, makes him more confident and secure.

If you stop giving him affirmation he is likely to search for it elsewhere.

3. You don’t need to look perfect
As much as they are attracted to beauty, it is not necessary for women to make so much effort to beautify themselves. Most times the ”Keep It Simple” rule applies. Men like it simple and natural. When he loves you the way you are, he is going to love you at your worst.

You don’t need to change your personality and looks to please him. Be yourself and he will appreciate you and your inner beauty.

4. Men need space too
Do not get offended if your man is asking for some space. He actually just needs space, it doesn’t have anything to do with you or your relationship. Taking time for yourself to do your own thing is healthy, you should enjoy some alone time too.
