What men and women want from a relationship?

A woman wants a deep relationship with a man who understands and accepts her and her feelings. She wants more intimacy, affection, commitment, companionship and respect. She wants help in resolving relationship conflicts. She want him to express his feelings particularly about her more often. She wants her man to be romantic. And she want good, satisfying lovemaking. That means sex within a loving, committed and intimate relationship with a strong, yet sensitive man.

A man wants to love and to be love but in different ways form women. Men are most comfortable expressing love through sex, through shared activities, through being a provider and through just being together. They want women to accept these actions as love. A man feels frustrated when a woman doesn't perceive his version of love as 'real love' or 'good enough', when she puts romance ahead of sex.
