How To Make Your Man Feel Masculine – The Crucial Relationship Skill That’s Often Forgotten

Hi there readers!

Today, we are going to be diving into a fun topic I got asked about the other day by one of my readers:

"How do I make my man feel masculine and loved?"

I started thinking about this question and came to the conclusion that I really should write an article about this.

So, without further ado, here are some tips to those of you who are concerned about this:

Tip #1 Ask Him To Do "Manly" Things

Let's picture a situation where you are in the kitchen with him. 

You are trying to open a jar of pickles but it seems as if the lid is a bit too tight...

Now sure, with enough force, I'm sure you could open the jar all by yourself but I propose to you a better idea:

Give it to your man and ask him to open it.

Even if he isn't a gym addict, opening that jar will make him feel like a superhero and amazingly needed.

It may seem like a petty small thing but trust me, this works like a charm.

Tip #2 Thank Him For The Things He Does

If you ask him to do something, be sure to thank him afterwards no matter how simple or easy the task you gave him was.

Even if it's just about doing the dishes or making breakfast, thanking him will show him that you appreciate him and it will make him smile on the inside.

We could even picture a scenario where you can't reach a jar of jam on the top surface and you ask him to pick it up. You could say something like "Thank you I think I would have needed a ladder if it wasn't for you" afterwards and just watch how his eyes bright up.

Tip #3 Let Him Do Some Problem Solving For You

Men LOVE to solve problems and help women.

If you have some sort of a problem you are dealing with (even if it is a small one), let him take the charge and solve it for you! 

It will make him feel incredible and more importantly, it will make him feel like he is there to save the day (a feeling men absolutely love).

Tip #4 Do Special Things For Him

This could mean a lot of things.

It could mean surprising him with a breakfast in bed.

It could mean going out on a full blown date night or it could even mean giving him a neck massage after a long day at work.

Whatever your man likes, if you surprise him with it he will appreciate you and feel wanted and needed afterwards.

Tip #5 Flaunt Him In Front Of People He Appreciates

This is a super super powerful tip!

When you are out somewhere where people you know your man appreciates (his parents or even his friends) are, make sure to flaunt him in front of them.

It will make him feel incredibly masculine, appreciated and loved.

You could flaunt how well he fixed the sink or how handsome or muscular he is or anything that really comes to your mind.

Do not underestimate the power of flaunting! 

Tip #6 Really Respect Him

What exactly do I mean by this?

Do not yell at him, belittle him, criticize him too hardly or anything close to this.

Despite what men may show to the outside world, men can have super fragile egos... And nothing shatters a man's ego harder than a woman criticizing him hard.

Often, we don't realize we are being disrespectful but before you say anything to him, take a second to think about it in your head and say to yourself:

"Is this something I would want to hear".

This will take you a long way.

Tip #7 Check Him Out And Compliment His Body

For some reason, there is this odd miss understanding out there where people often think men don't "need" or "care" for compliments...

And while it may be true that men do not care about compliments AS much as women, it doesn't mean a compliment doesn't feel absolutely incredible to hear for a man.

The next time he is without his shirt, be sure to compliment his body... And if he's been working out, make sure to tell him you are seeing the results and he looks amazing in your eyes.

Men's insecurities about their bodies are often hidden under a deep layer and you do not want to expose that layer, you just want to compliment him!

Tip #8 Never Forget Flirting

Flirting is a thing that often gets forgotten the further a relationship develops and I can confidently say that it is one of the main reasons relationships become stale.

In order for a relationship to stay fresh, flirting is a must.

Now, I know that when the "honeymoon" stage of the relationship is over, flirting will reduce by quite a bit. Even still, try to tease him and flirt with him any time you see the opportunity arise.

This will keep things fresh and it will keep his eyes on you, and only you.

Tip #9 Be Interested In His Career/Work

I get it...

Sometimes, the non-stop talking about his job or what happened at the office that day can be boring...

But please, save the eye-rolls and be interested in what your man has to tell you!

Even if it seems boring to you and even if you'd rather do something else, you'll thank yourself later because listening to him and giving him positive feedback will make him feel incredible... Which in turn will make him treat you like a total goddess!

Tip #10 Show Admiration Towards Him

When you two disagree on something, show him that you respect his opinion and that you feel safe and protected with him.

Pointing out his strengths instead of his weaknesses will instantly give him that loved and appreciated feeling.

A bonus tip regarding this topic :

If you have children together, tell your kids what an awesome daddy he is and tell them why! Brag about him to friends and family and eventually, these things will get back to him and he will feel absolutely amazing.

Tip #11 Respect His Alone Time

If your man wants to spend some time alone, make sure you respect his decision and let him know that there is nothing wrong with it.

If he wants to go out with his friends, do not stop him and let him be free. If there is mutual trust and respect in your relationship, this shouldn't be an issue and your man will thank you for it.
