kissed anywhere is good but not during a football game.

Nagged okay but not during football

Answer 3

Most of the list is just stuff we put up with for women
here are the things we actually like
-talking/laughing together about cute things the kids did
-head in his lap when watching TV
-being told she constantly thinks about what they "do" together

A lot on your list is just irritating - I hate
-occassional drop-in visits to the office...just to deliver a hug/flower
-having wife pinching his cheeks, and calling him "so so cute" and kissing his cheek (in front of his friends)
-stroking his head when waking him up in the morning
-having hair ruffled

Answer 4

Take out the nagging and the pinching cheeks, and showing him off, being defended we can take care of ourselves, and the showing up at work unannounced then the rest are okay.

I think to some degree that you do not appear to clingy or well needy. Men like a woman who has her own independence and we do not need you to shower us with attention all the time. Also he knows what you do together as well so he will not need constant reminders stop being like Mrs. Brady.

Answer 5

Attention from a woman:

good.



Attention from a woman who treats me like I am 9 (such as
being kissed on the forehead, -having hair ruffled, wife pinching cheeks, and being called "so so cute" and having cheek kissed (in front of friends):

not so good.


Try some grown-up woman ways:

* smoldering look across a room
* unexpected backrub, with oil
* kissing neck, ears, etc. during makeout session
* nails on back when strolling supermarket aisles
* deep soul kiss when least expected
* buying shoes, etc. just for him - wearing them and letting him know it's just for him
* when he asks, "do we have anything for dessert?" grinning wickedly and answering. "Yup. Me."
* holding hands at the movies
* after kissing for a while , moving his hand to your (insert area where you like to be touched here)
* short "i am crazy about you baby" phone calls are fine now and then

* if you drop into the office, be prepared to take him out to the car/wherever and make out furiously for 3 minutes.

and so on.

Answer 6

sounds endearing initially, but if you're doing that every day, sounds a bit too clingy.

and i wouldn't suggest calling him cute all that much, he is a man ya know!

instead of occasional drop ins at work, try calling him when you're "in the area" to see if he'd like to take a break for lunch or something.

seriously, some of the things you list sounds more like you are mothering him rather than being his wife.

Answer 7

You should be lucky to have a women who does all this for you. That means she is in love with you and care about you and your marriage. My wife of 15 years never did anything like for me, we are now separated. Don't think little things bug in you life, those are things that matter.

Answer 8

I wouldn't like that kind of crap all the time. I can stand people that are that insecure. Why does she kiss you on the forehead anyway? She is your wife, kiss her on the lips and she where that goes. It kind of sounds like she did something wrong.

Answer 9

I enjoy those things, my wife does them, but other men will run like the wind. All men are different, if your man likes those things, do it. If he doesn't, pare it down to the things he likes. He needs to reciprocate BTW. Otherwise, he's just an @$$-hole.

Answer 10

Most guys don't really seem to like most of those things.. they put up with it because they think girls like to do it...

In my opinion the thing that impresses guys the most is paying attention to them when they talk.. instead of being off in your own dream world...
