There are a lot of things men say they really don’t want until you get to know them better. Then it turns out that they (yes, even the toughest men) secretly really like many of those things. Curious about what things this is about? Then read on quickly.
“Do you want to help me?”
Although many men claim to like independent women, these same men are more than happy when a woman needs them. The fact that a woman needs a man’s help not only makes him feel important, it also strengthens his sense of masculinity. Because yes, men just want to be the hero.
Getting flowers
Some men find it too ‘feminine’ to receive flowers. They claim that the man should buy flowers for the woman and not the other way around. Yet there are also many men who really enjoy being surprised with a bouquet of flowers. Although for them it is probably more about the gesture of receiving a gift than the flowers themselves.
‘Stolen’ sweaters
Even though men sometimes whine about the fact that they have lost their sweater again, almost every man finds it very touching when their partner walks around in one of their oversized sweaters. Still, after a while they really want it back, but they will probably give them another one in return. Ideal!
The woman who paid
Partly due to the rise of feminism, it is no longer self-evident that men pay for (almost) everything. Yet many men still see paying for the first date as something that boosts their ‘masculinity’. But this does not mean that they do not find it attractive if the woman acts independently and financially independent by indicating that she wants to pay herself.
Little spoon
Many men insist on being the ‘big spoon’ during bedtime, because they believe the ‘little spoon’ is for the women. But secretly, men sometimes also want to lie curled up in their partner’s arms.
A pampering moment for the face
Something that men really won’t admit that they secretly really enjoy is having their faces pampered. Think of plucking the eyebrows, putting on a mask or styling the hair.
