Things Women Need from a Relationship

What Women Really Want

Since the dawn of time men and women have fought tirelessly to understand the opposite sex. It's a tricky game. Even the famous psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud, famously asked the question, "What do women want?" While there has been some success in identifying what makes a woman tick, there are still a lot of men who feel they're at a complete loss. While the battle for understanding wages on, here are a few guerrilla tactics to help you win the war.

She needs to trust you: No matter how secure and independent a girl is, she'll always feel the weight of imminent neglect. Stability is the key to fulfilling a woman's needs. A woman needs to know that you will be there when she needs you. Trust speaks to her most fundamental feelings about security in a relationship. Knowing that you're faithful to her, physically and emotionally, is the most important element you can provide in the relationship.

Play nicely: Women need men who are considerate, thoughtful, and kind. They want someone who'll listen when they cry (no matter how uncomfortable it is), who'll bring them Motrin when they're sick, and take their pug out at 5am when it's a cold winter morning. Women spend a lot of time nurturing you, so it's only fair that you return the favor.

s this a partnership or what: Women need to feel like they are on equal ground with their mate. They don't want to be overly protected, but on the other end of the spectrum they don't want to feel like they're always babysitting either. Surveys show that women say that they want a partner who will be their best friend; celebrate their successes and commiserate with their failures.
