I have always heard (and I do believe it) that men need and want to be respected by women. I really do have a deep respect for most men because I know the tough position they are in if they are providers and leaders in their homes... I THINK I'm a respectful person...however who knows? I might not be. So, I'm curious...what do you men consider to be "respect" that you want? What does it look like? Thanks!

Let me tell you two things which I learnt. My mother used to say if you want respect then give respect to others & my School Principal used to say never demand respect always command respect. Based on these two principles I can say any man who wants him to be respected by any woman should first give her respect & she will her self will give him respect, the man should not demand respect from any woman but should behave in such a manner that he gets respect from the woman of her own accord & not by his demand. I know when I will give you respect & speak to you politely; you will yourself will call me with respect irrespective of our age difference. This the reason we in India call every one respectfully as "Aap" & not "Tum" although the word Aap is a Urdu word & Tum is a Hindi word taken from Sanskrit word "Twam" which means "You". In English we will say "How Are You ?" in Urdu we say "Aap Kaase Hain?" in Hindi we will say "Tum Kaisa Ho?" Now here "Aap Kaase Hain?" looks more respectful although nothing wrong in the Hindi version "Tum Kaisa Ho?" but for showing more respect to the person the first one is the most preferred way to address. Hope you agree with me!

Well that's a good question to ask.
Men are from mars and women from Venus. A woman wants her man to listen and man want her to respect him. Well a good way to respect a man is to SUPPORT all his actions that have positivity.
If you think an action might not be good, then simply show him the consequences of that action. Never ever tell him what action must be taken unless he asks. A man want to be a super hero, so a little appreciation will be most respectful!
Good luck.

a woman can show respect to a man by loving him, respecting him and being a friend to him

I'm female, but I'll respond anyway. My Dad demanded respect. And my Mom used to do all his hard and dirty work around the house for him (the male jobs, while he worked in an office) without a word of complaint, and she kept her comments to herself but we knew by her eyes what she was thinking, she would say that tolerance and silence was what keeps a marriage together. She was what people in the last generation would term as a "doormat" but she never saw it that way. She gained a lot from the marriage for herself. My Dad and I respected each others space. He lived downstairs and I lived upstairs. I've never had that respect problem with the men in my life so I must be doing something right. Maybe the answer is being silent and allowing each to have their own space, and following the leader in matters that count. I believe this is what men call respect.

The best way to judge if you are a respectful person is to look at yourself and see if you are as respectful to yourself. Only if you respect yourself and treat yourself as well as you would others, can you give respect to others. Otherwise it's not real respect .. it's just low self esteem or codependency or martyrdom or something like that.

One way respect and disregard to other is not good. It ought to be mutual because both are equal. Man and woman are fraction of God in the form of soul. Let the equality prevail.

Value his words.
Don't talk inferior of him either in presence or absence.
Don't exagerate.
Act according to his interests.
Be open and free in talking.
Co-operate in his activities.
Give a helping hand.
Of course these are reciprocative.

Jazmine....
There is notthing specific slated or fixed formula to respect a man. See, if you like a man and you are inspired by him or his works. You will automatically give respect to him.
Respect comes within one's mind and thinking. If you like someone you will respect him and if you dont like him you cant respect it.
Thanks.

Respect comes in many forms, it is something that cannot be seen, touched or caught.
You generally respect someone when they respect you.

Honey, I don't know where you are from, but where I am from the women are the leaders of the home and keep it together. Respect all people, not just men and you will be more on the right track. Men alone don't deserve any special consideration, we all deserve respect. Respect is allowing them their opinions, the ability to share them, and so on.
