What are five emotional needs of men and at what age does emotion enter into the scenario for men?

Answer 1

Here are 10 emotional needs of men and women. We all have them, but in different order of importance. My top needs, in order are: Family Commitment, Physical Attractiveness, Openness & Honesty, Sexual Fullfilment and Admiration. Every man is different.

I didn't even know what an emtional need was until I was 49 years old. So, I think we men are pretty stupid about this. I was. Wives are much smarter at emotional needs ... and this is why my wife is the CEO (Chief Emotional Officer) of our family (smile).

1) Affection - Affection is the expression of care. It symbolizes security, protection, comfort and approval -- vital ingredients in any relationship.

2) Sexual Fulfillment - When you married, you and your spouse promised to be faithful to each other for life. You agreed to be each other's only sexual partner. You made this commitment because you trusted each other to meet your sexual needs, to be sexually available and responsive to each other. The emotional need for sex, then, is a very exclusive emotional need. If you have this need, you will be very dependent on your spouse to meet it. You have no other ethical choices.

3) Conversation - The need for conversation is not met by simply talking to someone. It is met when the conversation is enjoyable for both persons involved. Good conversation is characterized by the following: (1) using it to inform and investigate each other, (2) focusing attention on topics of mutual interest, (3) balancing the conversation so both have an equal opportunity to talk, and (4) giving each other undivided attention while talking to each other.

4) Recreational Companionsip - Before you were married, chances are pretty good that you planned your dates around your favorite recreational activities. That's because when it's an important emotional need, recreational companionship can often deposit enough love units to trigger romantic love. And since you wanted your relationship to flourish, you probably chose activities that you both enjoyed.

5) Honesty & Openness - Those with a need for honesty and openness want accurate information about their spouses' thoughts, feelings, habits, likes, dislikes, personal history, daily activities and plans for the future. If their spouse

does not provide honest and open communication, trust is undermined and the feelings of security can eventually be destroyed. They cannot trust the signals that are being sent and feel they have no foundation on which to build a solid relationship.

6) Physical Attractiveness - If you have this need, an attractive person will not only get your attention, but may distract you from whatever it was you were doing. In fact, that's what may have first drawn you to your spouse -- his or her physical attractiveness.

7) Financial Support - People often marry for the financial security that they expect their spouse to provide them. In other words, part of the reason they marry is for money.

8) Domestic Support - Domestic support involves the creation of a peaceful and well-managed home environment. It includes cooking meals, washing dishes, washing and ironing clothes, house cleaning and child care. If you have the need for domestic support, when your spouse does some of these things, you feel very fulfilled, and when it is not done you feel very annoyed.

9) Family Commitment - In addition to a greater need for income and domestic responsibilities, the arrival of children may create in you the need for your spouse to become active in the moral and educational development of the children.

10) Admiration - Many of us have a deep desire to be respected, valued and appreciated by our spouse. We need to be affirmed clearly and often. There's nothing wrong with feeling that way. Even God wants us to appreciate Him.

Answer 2

No, I don't think there's evidence for that. Most implicit tests of emotion show pretty much the same emotions. Women are just either better or it's more socially acceptable at the moment for women to express or show emotion, which is not the same thing.

Answer 3

Security- Mom to GF to Wife

Sex -physical sex satisfies an intense emotional need

The guys- a chance to be one of the boys sheds the stress of being Husband/provider/Dad/Fixit Guy/ all of it

The Job- I am all about the job. It is our flag, our self-esteem, our total value of self worth.

Hero- All men are born to be heroes. Very few actually make it. Call it the "Right Stuff" have to climb the pyramid(see The Job)

Note we don't talk about this with anyone even each other, ever.

You didn't get this from me and I will deny it if you tell anyone.

Answer 4

My gut instinct is to answer things like...hockey, action movies, chicken wings, women and sex. I don't know if you can sum up people with five stages...but I can tell you that younger guys are more emotional than older guys, because they are more insecure. By the time you reach your 40's, it seems like men stabilize a little and are able to roll with ups and downs better. Emotion is always there, just tempered with experience.

Answer 5

You are asking about "emotional needs" as in relationships/ life right? Welllllll .... as odd as this may sound .... men are people too ...lol.
They have the same needs as women do although it might balance out a little differently in the way these needs are met but their needs, in general , are the same.
Love , companionship , respect .... etc etc..... we are all the same and there is no time that this becomes a need ..... it is simply ... always : )

Answer 6

she said 'men', not boys. biggest need is most likely respect, husband and lovers need to be treated as if they are men and not boys. 2'nd would be to know he is not a failure in life, his hopes and dreams are valid and worthy.3'rd, he takes his time to respond in an arguement, so he needs to think before he speaks and might get frustrated if you second guess him.. 4'th-he needs to know he is a good lover--he can satisfy his woman. 5'th, he needs to know he is appreciated, not ridiculed. probably age 15 or 16 when boys begin to deal w/ their emotions.
