• 7. Independent man

    We need someone who will understand us. Someone who will understand that we don’t need that 24/7 texting and spending every single moment of free time together. Someone who will understand that just because we are working on our career it doesn’t mean we won’t work on our relationship. Someone who will match our fierceness. Someone…

  • 6. Love

    We can still get hurt, no matter how strong and independent we are. We get hurt every time you think we are putting our career before you. We get hurt every time you doubt our love, because we are not like your other girlfriends. And we need you to know that when we love, we…

  • 4. Freedom

    This is not just something we want, it’s something we truly need. We need that alone time and it doesn’t mean that we don’t love you or that we got bored of you. It just means that we need it in order to get ourself together, to shut down and then get back on the saddle. Once…

  • 3. Compassion

    While we may look cold and distant, we most certainly are not. There is a reason we shut down our emotions and a reason behind the walls we built. So, to have us let you in, you need to show us you care. Words mean nothing if actions can’t follow them, so show us your…

  • 2. Time

    We need time. Regardless of the chemistry, connection or strong feeling of attraction, there’s no way we will let you in quickly. We need to be sure you’re worthy of our time and our love. We learned to handle life on our own and letting someone in is truly terrifying. So, be patient and give…

  • 1. Respect

    We need you to respect our time, our opinions and our emotions. If there is no respect in a relationship, we sure as hell won’t be sticking around. It’s simple. We value ourself and we’ve been through hell to be the best version of ourself and there is always a place for improvement. But if…

  • 7. Security

    Your man will open up to you completely if you make sure he feels safe with you. You need to show him that you care about your relationship like he does. You need to show him that you are in it for the long haul, that he is not just some casual thing, but the…

  • 6. Approval

    Men don’t need verbal praise like most women do. Let’s face it, we like to be complimented every now and then but men work in a different way. We’ve already said that they are not as good at expressing their feelings through verbal communication but expressing with gestures is a whole different thing. As they…

  • 5. Spontaneity

    No one wants their relationship to become stale and boring, which is why you need a bit of excitement now and then. Men want you to be fun and adventurous. They want to do crazy things with you, especially when the both of you are young. They want to have those moments with the person…
