This is indeed a universal question that every man in love from any place and in any historical period has asked himself at any given time: what does a woman want from a man? You give her your riches, she says that's not what she wants, you write her poems, she says it's just empty words, you give her your soul, she says it's not enough… The woman is born unhappy and dissatisfied… and more chosen, undecided!

So what does a woman want from a man? There are countless answers and each one is suitable for one woman or another… She wants love, she wants to understand, she wants compassion, she wants devastating passion, she wants money and luxury, she wants adventure, she wants a house, she wants children, she wants to support, she wants to be treated nicely - but then she falls in love with a man who almost doesn't pay attention to her…

A woman's mind and soul are forever, from now on, a hidden mystery that no one will find out. It will never happen that a man shouts "Evrika!" and to share with all the men in the world what a woman wants from a man, there is no scientific formula to encapsulate this dark mystery…

The bottom line is that this question is so general that the answers are virtually endless and none of it is safe and good. Different women may want different things, just as the same woman may want different things from several men!

But if the question turns into: what does a woman want from a man she loves and with whom she has a long-term relationship today, we simplify the equation a little… Just a little. The truth remains that a woman may want different things, depending on her dreams, aspirations, and personality, but even a correct answer in 80% of cases is better than the lack of any answer.

So what does a woman want from a man in a serious relationship? First of all, safety. It's not just about financial security, although this is often a desire of women, but about emotional security, which is so important for a woman. She wants to know for sure that she is loved, that she is appreciated, that she is cared for, but, most importantly, that she will never be abandoned for a younger or more beautiful one.

This is why, no matter how secure and serious a relationship may seem to men, they must constantly reassure their chosen one that she is and will be alone.

Constant! If a certain period passes without the woman having received any compliment, any declaration of love, any reassurance that she is still the master of his heart, doubts and dark thoughts will surely appear, she will go through many inner conversations and will conclude that she is not you still love And that's just because you missed a few nights to say "I love you" or to say "I miss you" during the day…

So the woman wants security, stability, to know that what she has now is not will evaporate in front of him tomorrow. That's why the engagement ring is so precious, not because it has a big stone, but because it means security. But even with the ring on her finger, the woman continues to worry and needs ongoing insurance.

A second and equally important answer to the question of what a woman wants from a man in a couple is: she wants understanding and communication!

Women often do not understand men, and the opposite is already a universal truth! But she wants to see that her boyfriend is trying to understand her, that she is not blaming SPM, and that she is trying to figure out what happened. And this can only happen through communication! The male brain works differently from the female brain, which is proven.

One of the key differences is that when a problem arises, the man needs peace and solitude to analyze it, and the woman needs to talk about that problem to analyze it! Thus, if he has a problem and quietly withdraws, he will conclude that he does not feel like it! And if she has a problem, but he does not want to discuss it, she concludes that he does not care, while the poor man just wanted to give her time and space to think! What can be done? Either all men and women become gay, or they realize this significant difference and try to compromise!

And because this is what a woman wants from a man, that compromise would mean the effort to communicate, to share her thoughts and frustrations, although she would rather need peace! And conversely, if she has a tragic expression on her face, the man must talk to her, ask her, really listen to her, because that's the only way she will look like she is at least trying to understand her! Fully understandable, he won't understand it anyway, these are fairy tales… But the effort makes all the difference!

What does a woman want from a man? Respect and appreciation! Many times, women do not feel appreciated for the effort they put in: many have a job, but they also take care of most of the household chores, without considering the children - if they exist!

But when the man comes home and tells what a hard day he had, he doesn't even think for a moment how difficult it is for her to work, then come home, prepare dinner, wash cloths, and dust! These men see it as self-evident, but a little appreciation and a "thank you for doing so much" would be wonderful!

As for work, men tend to consider their career the most important and interesting, minimizing a woman's career! A little interest and respect for what she does would in no way hurt!

So, three answers valid for at least 80% of women to the universal question! And yes, the most logical and undisputed answer is: love!
