Since most men struggle today in a world that doesn’t admire them, they look to their female partner to meet this need. Just as women need adoration, men need admiration. When a woman admires a man, it is much easier for him to adore her. When we admire him, we give him a precious gift, the gift of feeling masculine. If a woman can’t admire the man she’s with, she’s with the wrong man.
Here are some attributes for which men wish to be admired:
Leadership skills, good character, physical strength, protection, dependability, honesty, honor, trustworthiness, courage, good provider, sharp intellect, good lover, good father, respectful of women, chivalry, specialized knowledge, loyalty, integrity, and competence.
Ways to Show Admiration for Your Man:
- Speaking words of affirmation and appreciation.
- Telling others how much you admire him.
- Giving him a heartfelt smile that lets him know you love him.
- Being affectionate or cuddling.
- Responding to him sexually, and, on occasion, approaching him.
