How does a mature man treat a woman in a relationship?

Question

For instance, during arguments, attention, doing things with her, birthdays, etc.

Thanks!

Answer 1

From your list ~ doing things with her.

Birthdays should be pretty minor in a relationship, if you jack up anniversaries and birthdays to somehow make it significant - this is a sign of an immature partner.

Arguments will happen. Keeping them on the subject and not saving up ammo for some major league dumping is important.

The best thing in a mature relationship is spending time together, exploring mutual interests. Forming a solid base so that each partner can take chances outside the relationship (like changing a job) and knowing that at least that much is secure.

Yeah, I can go on....

Answer 2

Usually refers to relationships. Most women were thinking about marriage since they were kids under 10, while guys would rather skirt responsibility as long as possible (most of them, anyway. Some of them are not ready even when they're 40 - personal experience). And since marriage is the cornerstone of society (not so much now, but it sure was up to 20 years ago), women were deemed more mature. Also, because women are more prone to listen to people's problems and try and help someone else emotionally, they were regarded as more mature on that front as well. Just an opinion, anyway.

Answer 3

In an argument, regardless of who it is with, be it a male or female, there should be a level of respect. Both parties should listen and try to understand the opposing sides point of view, as well as rational behind the argument. Then your side should be presented calmly, and systematically, and in turn the opposing side should give you the same courtesy that you have given to them (ie: listening and trying to understand your POV).

As for doing things with women, it depends greatly on the woman you are with. If she enjoys long walks, you would act differently than if she enjoys going to a football game. Some men think that a night out at the club is the thing to do. I for one see no maturity in going clubbing, but thats just my opinion. Regardless her personality should be taken into account, her likes/dislikes, etc... Thus if she likes to unwind and have some "crazy fun" then the level of maturity of the man may have to be lowered a few notches to accomidate. Or if she likes to go to the oppera, or the symphony then hopefully the man is mature enough to handle something like that, and not only attend but enjoy it, as well as be able to discuss it with the lady he is with.

Birthdays are a tough one for me. I can't remember the birthdays of my mother and father, let alone other people, and so I have to write them down, and use other methods to remind me in advance. Usually I have a reminder at the beginning of the month, and then a week before, and then a day before. I like to get nice things and do something special, but also out of the ordinary.

Answer 4

I think the most important part of maturity is expecting the woman as your equal.
So, in arguments the man should respect the woman's point of view, but won't necessarily back down from his own position. All the other things you mentioned really depend on their individual relationship.

Answer 5

Let me try to give you my opinion on each.

Arguments:
We all have disagreements,but one should be ale to discuss things without getting in to an argument. The word compromise or seeking a middle ground should be possible.

Attention:
Does one have to walk naked in front of him for him to notice?
He should be attentive to what your thoughts,feelings,wants,and desires. A relationship is a two person situation. Attention should go both ways.

Doing things with her:
He is not by himself. There is someone else there. He should not clam up or speak volumes about himself. You each should be able to talk freely about what you are doing,going to do, or just whatever. He should not plan what you are both going to do, that should be discussed with the two of you together. I am not saying that there won't be surprise outings. Discussion should be a priority and not a possibly.

Birthdays:
They can be celebrated any which way the two of you should like to celebrate them.

Bottom line:
The two of you are together in a relationship. It will take the both of you to make it flourish. Without the communication,openness to share with each other their thoughts,feelings,desires,and what each other wants in life, then it will dry up as a plant without the neccessary nutrients.
It will start at the root and slowly work its way to the center.
Do not let it die on the vine.
Communicate and be open with each other.
The relationship can only grow deeper and more stable the more that you are.

Answer 6

A mature man is not afraid to dump you if you argue too much. A woman cannot keep a mature man around by using sex or sex appeal

Answer 7

My husband & I have been married for 8 1/2 yrs. He has put me on a pedistal. He cooks, helps clean. He dosen't like me to lift a finger. I do have medical problems but not to put me down & out. He is great if I get up to get a soda, he will tell me to sit he was going to get him something & he'll get mine too. I consider myself very lucky. This is my 3 rd. marriage and he is the only one to ever treat me like this. Good Luck, Becky

Answer 8

I am intrigued to know that myself, I can tell you each man has a lining of imaturity but they can also posess the innocence to capture you, your being and make it easier for you to relax, especially during birthdays and such, but wow a mature guy, hmm I'd like to know, big hugs

Answer 9

He argues back, but never gets verbally, or physically abusive.
He dotes on me, pets me, compliments me, is touching me frequently. (Vice Verse)
He does the stuff we do together more than what he does alone.
He doesn't make a big deal out of my birthday, but he does cards or flowers or trinkets here and there.

Answer 10

With honesty and respect. Arguments are talked out (maybe neither person is 100% correct), doing things together as much as possible, and love.
