How To Turn Your Man On In Romance

How To Turn Your Man On In Romance by virgilio vallecera

It’s not all about sex! What do men want? It may seem like there’s only one answer to that question — “sex” — but men are actually a bit more complicated than that. Surveys of men show a variety of things that turn them on when it comes to women they’re dating. Here are five to keep in mind as you navigate the pitfalls of single life.
1. Take care of yourself.

Yes, men like breasts and butts. And yes, there’s only so much you can (or should) do about those areas. You are who you are, physically and mentally, and you shouldn’t change yourself dramatically for anyone.

What we’re talking about here are little things that can make a big difference in your appearance. Always being dressed in nice, decent clothes, having fresh breath, having clean hair (but not over-styled — men like simple when it comes to hair), shaving your armpits and legs regularly, and so forth.

It doesn’t mean you have to be a size 2 and go to the gym every day. It just means taking care of the body you have and going out of your way to be fresh and clean when you see him.

2. Let him know he Is #1 with you.

While men don’t like women who are subservient and docile, they do like to know that they’re important to you. Men are as insecure about relationships as women are, if not more so.

He probably won’t want to talk about the relationship and define it and label it, but he does want to know where he stands.

Let him know by leaving cute love notes for him or by calling him at the office to say hello. He wants to know that while you have your own life to lead, you’re taking time to think about him, too.

It will also make him more likely to make the same kind of sweet gestures for you in return, once you’ve opened the door for such things.

3. Be confident.

You may not look like a supermodel or have the body of a porn star. You may not be the smartest, prettiest, or sexiest woman you know. But damn it, you’re not half-bad, either!

Guys love a woman who’s confident in herself. Not cocky or arrogant or snotty, but confident. Smile when you enter a room. Don’t look nervous in new surroundings. Act like you’re completely happy with your body and personality, even if you’re not. Men notice the difference.

When you present ideas to your partner, state them with confidence. Don’t always defer to, “Whatever you want to do is fine” when discussing plans together. Give your opinions! When he asks what you’d like to do this weekend, give a suggestion.

Often, women are afraid to be too bold in their opinions, mistakenly believing men want their ladies to be quiet and humble. What men actually say they want in polls and studies is a woman who will speak her mind and be a true PARTNER in the relationship.

4. Be independent.

Speaking of being a true “partner,” here’s another tip that men find incredibly attractive: Have a life. It’s disconcerting to meet someone and get the impression she didn’t exist before you came into her life, but that’s what it feels like for some men.

They meet women who don’t go out, don’t socialize much, don’t do much of anything outside of work. That’s not a partner, that’s a Barbie doll!

By the same token, if you already do have a life, don’t shut it down when a man comes into your world. Continue to hang out with your friends, dedicate energy to your job, and all the other things you used to do. Don’t be so career-oriented that you don’t have ANY time to be with your partner, but don’t completely turn everything else off for him, either.

Men like women with backbone. If you occasionally can’t be with him because of other obligations, it will make the times you CAN be with him seem all the sweeter. If you’re at his beck and call 24 hours a day, well, where’s the fun in that?

5. Have a sense of humor.

Don’t be afraid to crack a joke. Our society places great importance on funny men but rarely on funny women, and so women are often get the subconscious message that jokes are for guys to tell. But it’s just not true. Men love it when women can make jokes as well as they can. Avoid being dirty or using profanity — men appreciate ladylike behavior — but if he makes a one-liner about the bad service in the restaurant, don’t hesitate to offer one of your own, too. Partners love to be able to tease each other playfully.

What if you’re just not that funny a person? You can still have a sense of humor by appreciating other people’s jokes. If he says something funny, or if something funny happens nearby, don’t be afraid to laugh.

Again, the old-fashioned ideas of women laughing demurely and daintily, covering their mouths with their hands, are outdated. If it’s funny, LAUGH. Don’t be shy, don’t be coy. Just laugh. Laughter is one of the great tools in any relationship. It’s one of the greatest sounds in the world. Let him hear it from you.

No one has yet worked out ALL the secrets of how to make men happy. But these tips are a start, some simple ways you can be your best self and make him see what a great partner you can be.

Hate Valentine’s Day?

Source: Match.com Official Site

By Nina Malkin

Few holidays arouse the vitriol of Valentine’s Day. No matter where you are relationship-wise, you may be feeling the pressure—and a burning desire to swat Cupid right on his little rear end. But take heart (sorry!). Your V-Day sentiments of sadness, anger or simple annoyance are justified, and — more importantly — there are plenty of ways to cope and feel some love this February 14. Here’s how:

If you’re suddenly solo…
Breakups suck, but they suck the most right about now. If your relationship just fell apart, even an innocuous Hershey’s kiss has the power to sock your self-esteem. “Why do I hate Valentine’s Day? Because I’m alone! Thanks for reminding me!” snaps Maura D., 27, who lives near Baltimore. Ease the angst by reaching out to friends and family. “There is love in your life, a lot of it,” says Santa Barbara, CA–based marriage therapist and coach Wendy Allen, Ph.D. “Celebrate the people who love you, no matter what.”

Since V-Day hype can hurt, protect rather than punish yourself. “Have very little media interaction and avoid the public arena if possible, so you’re not faced by all the hoopla,” suggests Boston-based career and relationship coach Suzanne Blake. “Have friends over for a potluck dinner or to watch DVDs rather than go out to eat or to the movies,” amid all the goo-goo-eyed lovers.

If you’re a social butterfly…
Maybe you’re dating around, having fun—but searching for The One isn’t your priority at present. Or maybe you just don’t appreciate being told that there’s a certain date where you have to rev up the romance. “Valentine’s Day makes romance feel like an obligation,” says Ruthie A., from Oahu, HI. “Love is not an obligation, and I don’t need some overblown money-making business telling me when to do romantic things.”

Unfortunately, the V-Day marketing machine is cranked up to give you the guilts. You may even believe the holiday is a conspiracy spearheaded by your mother to get you to settle down. “Like it or not, Valentine’s Day is a defining moment—a time to take stock of your love life,” says Blake. “It can be hard to go against the grain.” If you’re really into playing the field, dare to be date-free on V-Day. “Show off your independence by going out solo as you might on any other night of the year or with a buddy,” says Blake. “It sends a good message to people less secure about being single.”

If you’re dating someone new…
There’s enough pressure on those who’ve recently started seeing someone. Then V-Day comes along to up the ante. If you have a new sweetie, you can’t help but wonder: “Should I ask him/her out for Valentine’s Day? If I do, what does it mean? Is it possible to treat February 14 like any other day? Are gifts, cards, the whole nine yards required?” It’s easy to misstep, as did a wealthy client of Blake’s who bought a woman he was casually dating expensive earrings as a V-Day gift. “He thought that’s what he was supposed to do, but she thought it meant they were a rock-solid couple and put a lot of expectations on the relationship he wasn’t ready to deliver on.”

Moral of the story? Keep it low-key. “If you’re dating someone new, don’t ignore the holiday—that won’t work,” says Allen. “Instead, reframe it. Decide to celebrate your new friendship, not love.” One idea: You and your date can buy some stuffed animals and take them to the children’s unit at your local hospital. Doing service with someone offers insight into the person, and being around those less fortunate may make you forget Valentine’s Day drama.

If you’re contentedly coupled…
Yes, even members of blissful twosomes can abhor the holiday. “I hate Valentine’s Day,” vents happily married Matt M., 39, from New York City. “You’re supposed to feel romantic in the face of all those schlocky pink lace decorations? Yuck. Talk about how to take something special and make it feel silly and commercial!” Adds Catherine E., 38, of Los Angeles, who’s engaged: “It isn’t enough to make a simple gesture. Now it feels as if you have to show everyone how much you care.” In fact, it can feel as if doing less than long-stemmed roses, candlelit dinner and $40-a-pound truffles is downright uncaring.

When expensive gifts and fancy dinners feel de rigueur, what couple wouldn’t want to snuggle at home watching Metalocalypse on DVD? That’s definitely an option. As Blake suggests: “Bond by doing the most un-V-day-oriented thing you can think of—have a sports marathon, go shopping for a refrigerator. Dare to break the mold—do something goofy and different to declare your independence as a couple.”

By following these tips, hopefully you can break away from feeling beset by Valentine’s Day—and enjoy the 14th in an unconventional way.
