Hey everyone! 🙋♂️
I came across this interesting thread on r/AskWomen, and it got me thinking. 🤔 We often discuss what women would like men to do differently, but what about the other side of the coin?
So, here’s a question I’d love for you to ponder:
What’s something you wish women would do more often that they seem to overlook?
Here are a few thoughts to kick off the conversation:
-
Open Communication: Sometimes, it feels like many conversations could go more smoothly if women were more direct about their feelings. 🗣️
-
Emotional Vulnerability: It would be nice to see more openness when it comes to discussing emotions. Everyone has them, and sharing can lead to deeper connections. 💞
-
Initiating Plans: I think it would be refreshing if women took the reins on planning dates or outings now and then! It can feel like a shared effort makes things more exciting. 🎉
- Supportive Encouragement: I believe that mutual support in pursuing goals can strengthen relationships, so it would be great if women felt empowered to cheer each other on more often! 👏
I genuinely believe these discussions can help bridge understanding and strengthen relationships. 👥
🤔 What are your thoughts? Have you experienced situations where you’d love for women to step up or do something different?
Feel free to share your experiences, tips, or even your viewpoint on this topic. Let’s keep the dialogue going and maybe even learn a thing or two from each other!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 🗨️
The simple life. Nothing more than necessary.
Decide where to eat.
Be on time
A huge majority of relationships would be improved if women initiated intimacy once in a while. Men are mostly simple creatures and if we feel appreciated and wanted, we’re generally content.
to stop playing mind games
Randomly break out into congo lines in public. Never seen that yet.
Just put away your clothes please.
Put as much effort into looking good as they did in the beginning or when they go out with their gfs/cousins/coworkers.
*EDIT: added family and coworkers.
Accept the damned compliment.
Admit when the problems they’re having are because of their own bad decisions and not blame everyone else.
Don’t think of other women as competition.
Read the room
Just tell me what you want, don’t sulk and expect me to read your mind, then get angry when I can’t
Stop making any and all problems their man’s problems.
I’m sorry, but the man being “The leader” or “The rock” doesn’t mean they’re your therapist or that you get to just shut your brain off when you’re in a relationship. You’re still expected to be a capable, independent adult who can function on their own.
Too many women have a REALLY bad habit of becoming codependent on their man for every aspect of life
Communicate succinctly and directly.
Be comfortable in silence.
Say exactly what they want when asked.
Man, reading the comments makes me realize how lucky I am with my wife.
Just say what you want ffs.
Initiate sitting on my face
Work on their perception so they can actually tell who’s harmful and who isn’t.
I’m tired of seeing good guys being treated like predators by the same women who let assholes into their lives to destroy it because they’re attractive.
Initiate
This is not something they never do, but more women should call out misandry when they see it and equally call out toxic femininity when they see it/do it.
Initiate things. Whether it’s simple conversations or communication about problems or intimacy. Just anything at all. Don’t constantly wait for me to apologize even if you’re in the wrong, don’t wait for me to text first to ask how you’re doing, don’t wait for me to compliment or say how i feel before you do. I’m happy to do all that but it’s nice to feel that you care too.
Just do things without me having to do them first.
Have accountability. Don’t try and make excuses or blame others for your mistakes. Don’t be the protag in a Beyoncé song.
Have initiative. Tell me what it is you want. Tell me that you’re interested. Tell me that you want me.
Have integrity. When you make plans, stick to them. When you agree to plans, stick with them. If you have any reservations, be honest. Don’t string me along. Just tell me that it’s not working.
Have compassion. Don’t treat me like a toy. Don’t use me for validation. Have care for how I feel. Be willing to listen.
Banging my head on the wall here.
State clearly what you want.
Control their grumpiness to themself a bit better. Having a snippy vibe with me because they’re tired/hangry/etc … like is it really necessary to remind you that *I am not your enemy here~*
Don’t ask questions if you can’t handle the answers.
