I have tried everything to keep a man happy. Doing all the housework, cooking for them, shopping for our food, and helping them with work, and of course in the bedroom. It seems that the more I do the more they want and when it's not enough they abuse. I have thought of course it must be the wrong guy so I have tried changing the guy for a different guy but it's always the same in the end. So what is the secret to keeping a man happy?


I dont see here how have you tried to make a man happy. Youve tried to keep the house clean, grats but clean house is for yourself. We guys usually either already clean from ourselves or just dont give a fck.
It may add points to comfort but adds nothing to happiness

Youre cooking for them and shopping for food, thats good but also it has absolutely nothing to do with happiness, its just chores.

Basically yeah youve tried to take over a mother's role and that is umm not very sexy thought, is it?

So im gonna speak only for myself as a man but if you want chores somehow add to the happiness if men you need to INCLUDE us in them.

We hate to be bossed but LOVE to be asked. Ask a man to help you and give him smth that you think he can handle. heights, fixing a lamp or a doorhandle or operating various appliances and machines such as vacuum cleaner or a dishwasher is cool.
then Thank him for a job well done. He helped you only cuz he hoped to hear you say it. Praisal of our significant other is honey to our ears. On the other hand reminding of all the things undone is poison.

Bedroom part is a bit confusing too, what excacty do you think you do there? Clean it? change laundry and curtains maybe? Cuz after all that cleaning and cooking I cant imagine how could you possibly have any willpower left to have a passionate sex. And we can tell when your mind is elsewhere while having sex. Its not cool.

And here comes the secret which some women may choose not to believe. Before meeting a woman who starts taking over chores in the household one by one cuz she thinks she knows better... We did them ALL by OURSELVES! Yup. I vacuumed my apartment on evey saturday, changed sheets did the laundry and omg...yes i did clean the toilet and bathroom too. I cannot vouch for quality but i got the chores done. And I did my own dishes too.

I noticed you didnt mention the most important thing at all. You didnt say you loved the man. Without love, everything else you do for a man is irrelevant. Spending time in loveless relationship is time wasted.

Happiness2U, In a relationship happiness goes both ways, I think it's called interdependance, the other thing you're talking about would be independance. Thanks to the people who answered my question a very long time ago, many of you were very funny and cheered me up too!



Do you mean co-dependance? because that is a dysfunction.

Co-dependence isn't dysfunctional. In a relationship each person should be co-dependent on the other, thus will make the other feel needed, wanted. If the person isn't dependent on the other, they wouldn't very well be needed or even wanted for that matter.

there's an old adage..."always leave them wanting more"




some people never left high school.

I think it can be taken to extremes but when it's not it has to be an even level.

Want and need are two VERY different things.

Hmm, I have to agree with you that the more you do; the more they want. I don't think there is a way to keep a man happy; so I am content on keeping myself happy. LOL laugh

What I've done to make a man happy varies from man to man.

If there was one, singular answer that would fit each and every man,



I'D not be happy, as that's part of the fun of it.

I disagree. I truly DO believe that I made them happy by leaving, despite everything they've said since I left.



If they were happy with me being there...

...I'd still BE there.



*Funny* how that works. winking

The bird of "true" love is NOT the dove, but rather the little flicka that returns to Capistrano every year.
