Most men are faced with major failure to meet their goals and need the boost of praise to get by. The male ego denies any weakness and yet it constantly needs to be supported by praise. If a guy falls down in the career or even something simple like a bad night in the sack it is expected the mate will let him off the hook and still remark how good he is. Women are used to setbacks and take them better. They have the satisfaction of accomplishing little things and take the negatives better. Although they compete to some degree they usually are not in the grind like the men. Career women fall into the same trap as men because they abandon everything for the career only to realize later what a waste it is. Being happy with what you have and settling for temporary pleasures is far better than knocking your head against the wall all the time.

I'm not sure for most men and i cant really say much about this subject as i haven't been in a relationship for a very long time now. but i can say one thing. im 26 and live with my parents. i do what ever they want me to do around our house and after I've finished what I'm doing i need then to tell me what the work is like that i have done so that if it ain't up to there standard i can try and do it better, but if it is up to there standards and they do praise me for it it makes all the rest of the work that is forth coming much easier to do. if all i got told all of the time way, " I'm sorry lad but that work is just not up to the standard that im looking for" then it wouldn't take to long before i start thinking that nothing i do would be good anougth.

This is so true! I think they just need a bit of an ego boost.
I'm wondering why they need to show you all of their "war wounds."
It's funny, I can clean the house all day and my husband says nothing. But whenever he does something he has to tell me "Honey, I emptied the dishwasher." "Thank you honey. Good job!" (you gotta praise). He also acts like he does so much more around the house (NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!). Why???
Men are funny!

Not all men are like that. And there are plenty of women who also need praise all the time.

men need praise so they could feel like a provider. men need
praise to ease their insecurities.

Because they may rule the world but theyre really ruled by their penis and their ego. Ever notice that all men, even the strongest ones are really just grown kids?

Because they are men, and in their eyes, whatever they do is more important, more wonderful than anything you do. they all think that the women's job is to take care of the house, the laundry, the kids, the food, etc, and if they clean the sink , we hear about it for years...Get used to it and just stand your grounds...

Because we do - we are superior and need to be told this at least 10 times a day otherwise we'll throw a wobbly

Read the book, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". It explains a LOT. I'm reading it now.
