it doesnt really matter what THESE FEW MEN want, women should focus on men who want to respect them and the relationship they are in....... and if anyone finds themselves in such r/ship (which they dont approve of), then they should simply drop this man.

@ OP.

I think all you have written makes damn sense.

Virtually all men want fidelity and a commitment to the relationship from their partner.

and a sizable lot of men want to cheat but can not stand being cheated upon(this one is weird but true).
Re: What Men Want In A Relationship by MrsChima(f): 1:18am On Apr 26, 2012
Only a dumb arse woman will allow her husband/boyfriend to cheat on her. No, I take that back. Only a dumb arse woman with low self esteem and desperate as hell would let her husband/boyfriend cheat and disrespect her.

Well, get ready to meet a lot of dumb women. I met one this year, a christian who doesn't believe in pre-marital sex, and she says she turns a blind eye if he errs from time to time. And my male friend loved his gf, but strayed from time to time. Relationships are funny nowadays. I think we should go back to the days of Arranged Marriage, so we would have zero expectations except for her cooking n bearing kids and his ability to provide food and shelter. Anything else is a pleasant surprise.

Truelyy speaking, I have concerned an arranged marriage(of course this would be ideal if both parties are sincere). All this lovey dovey shite is grossly overrated, from expeience the emotionality in love-based relationships is THE problem with these relationships. Life was much simpler and less manipulative when everyone knew their duties and responsibilities.
Re: What Men Want In A Relationship by luckgames(m): 1:48pm On Apr 26, 2012
I am not asking people to comment on this topic base on emotion but facts
Go Back to your husband/Boyfriend; ask him what he want in the relationship—Listen
Your next word should be how can we make it work? address the issue you have problem with
Few day later go back to your husband /boyfriend tell him what you as a woman, what you want from your relationship.
Tell him you want an honest answer how he can make the relationship work

Oddly, this what many men want (even without putting words to it). That they get full commitment from their partners but cheat from time to time and still let off d hook.

Sadly, this is true. Maybe it should not be so but...

Why do some ppl get so flattered when guys speak like saints and say only what they want to hear, not truths undecided

Sisters sorry please do not hate me but i am gona have to agree with the poster on this one. As much as i hate to admit it, it is true. When a sister tries to do things differently and tries to go against all this we always end up lonely and lying to ourselves by comforting ourselves with our money at other things but still need a man but to proud to admit that men will always be dogs, we just have to accept it. I hate what they do but i am afraid its their nature. its either you choose to be alone, or be with a guy whos is shit scared of you just because you make him feel that you are who or you just accept the truth and play your role as a woman wo does not let money or status go to her head. Scared of lonely so then just accept the shit these men do or kill them all coz they will pretend to be saint but yol know they are just lying. Thanks for the lie brothers keep respecting your woman and never let her see that you are a dog. It does not mean that she is not aware that you are a dog if she does not say anthing about it, it just means that she knows that yol are allllllll like that. Saint brothers please disagree

Dear Ladies who believe all men are dogs, guess what? You settled for the wrongest of dudes
-signed someone who has seen men married more than 9 years, who fight daily not to cheat on their women. The rest of you, feel free to date my exes and my friends'e exes. Hey, at least, you'll be crying into your expensive silk sheets, living in your nice Lekki house, amirite, ladies??

My cousin's hubby comes to Nigeria and stays in my house and lets us know his movement, he's not hiding to go meet some gal. He's a good husband. My cousin comes to Nigeria and stays in hotels or my other cousin's house (because my mum threatened to expose him the next time he brought a girl to our house while his wife is in the US with his kids).
Most of the people I know with cheating husbands fought to marry those men, in spite of the red flags they saw before marriage, heck some chanced the man's long-term gf to be his wife (my friend did that, she at first didn't know he had even proposed to the girl, she found out, shouted a bit and played her cards right, the other babe got chanced and she bagged her a rich dude. He's cheating). We are forever saying "don't be desperate" but will encourage you to marry the man that on paper is great, but the reality is different. So we chase after people who we are not meant to be with. Then we get it, and whaddya know, the tomato we priced has become agbalumo, with no refunds. Then the cheating starts (for men) and the obsession with shopping and kids starts (for women). It makes me laugh, our parents had no choice, we have all the choice yet we are still making the same mistakes. Are we not stu-pider? We ask God "send me my own", but determinedly go for what we want, not caring if it is right for us and certainly not waiting on God. We want to make our choice and God should approve it, not that God sends us his own.
How else can you explain why a man knows he's gonna marry you, and knows you're not sufficient for him, so he will plan to cheat?? They say marry your friend, because if you and your friend fight, friend gets fat, gets broke, moves away, a richer/finer/more classy friend shows up, guess what? You still remain friends. You made a commitment to that friendship, yet you are budgeting your allowance to ensure you have enough for wife + mistress + girlfriends. And someone how, we are to respect Men for that decision?
Men want lunch, se.x and a peaceful home. Your job is to find a man who's definition and vision of all those coincide with yours, not find a guy with a nice car, a job abroad and make your vision his own. He'll eventually return to what he wants.
Le Fin.
