You may think that a man’s mind isn’t that complex in comparison with your own, but sometimes we experience those strange things you women call “emotions,” too. (Yep, it’s true.) So here, very plain and simple (kinda like our minds) are 10 little things we want from you, but are often too darn stubborn to ask for.

Sex

Admit it — you saw this one coming. Yes, we want sex. Often. In fact, just about any time and any place. But there’s more to it than just sex. We also like other signs of your affection, so hold hands with us or give us a spontaneous hug.

Honest reactions

Don’t fake it with us. We can tell when you do.

Compliments

Men want to be complimented just as much as women do. When we look good, tell us.

Laughter

Make us laugh! A sense of humor is a wonderful thing, and a woman with a good one is extremely appealing.

Acceptance

We want you to accept us as we are, not think of us as someone you can renovate. Yes, we have faults — but look past them. We want you to accept us for the men we already are and are working to become.

Honesty

There’s no real basis for a relationship without honesty, and it starts when we first meet. If you’re truly interested, don’t start out playing hard-to-get.

Space

Don’t crowd us. Men like time and space with their friends, and even time alone. Women who require men to spend every minute with them need to get a life of their own.

Communication

Go ahead and express yourself. Your man may not always agree with you, but it probably makes him proud that you can stand up for yourself. Strong women are sexy!

Belief

If you love your man, believe in his dreams as much as he believes in yours.

Trust

If you can’t trust each other, the relationship is doomed. Take his word for it and don’t constantly check up on him or try to trick him. Trust is respect, and both parties in a relationship deserve to be respected.

How can I fix my relationship problems?

Problem-solving strategies: Be consistent. Be on time. Do what you say you will do. Don't lie -- not even little white lies to your partner or to others. Be fair, even in an argument.

Relationship Problem: Trust

Trust is a key part of a relationship. Do you see certain things that cause you not to trust your partner? Or do you have unresolved issues that prevent you from trusting others?

Problem-solving strategies:

You and your partner can develop trust in each other by following these tips, Fay says.

Be consistent.

Be on time.

Do what you say you will do.

Don't lie -- not even little white lies to your partner or to others.

Be fair, even in an argument.

Be sensitive to the other's feelings. You can still disagree, but don't discount how your partner is feeling.

Call when you say you will.

Call to say you'll be home late.

Carry your fair share of the workload.

Don't overreact when things go wrong.

Never say things you can't take back.

Don't dig up old wounds.

Respect your partner's boundaries.

Don’t be jealous.

Be a good listener.

Even though there are always going to be problems in a relationship, Sherman says you both can do things to minimize marriage problems, if not avoid them altogether. First, be realistic. Thinking your mate will meet all your needs -- and will be able to figure them out without your asking -- is a Hollywood fantasy. "Ask for what you need directly," she says. Finally, be willing to work on your relationship and to truly look at what needs to be done. Don't think that things would be better with someone else. Unless you address problems, the same lack of skills that get in the way now will still be there and still cause problems no matter what relationship you're in.
