For many couples, the secret to a quality relationship is to develop a mutual understanding and respect. The more each sex knows about the other, the stronger their bonds can be. Here are some tips about the fairer sex for men who are actively looking for that perfect partner, engaged or recently married. Many of the tips came from Astroglide’s own male and female Twitter followers who offered some insights into the minds of women.

1. Women like a man to be assertive without being a jerk. They need someone to stand up for them as an equal partner.

2. They pay attention to what you wear and how you wear it. Backwards baseball caps, tight muscle shirts and saggy pants are out. Don’t even try the black socks and sandals routine.

3. Women don’t typically want to talk with their current man about the number or certainly not the “size” of any of their past partners. Some topics are simply off limits.

4. They like genuine questions that show their man truly cares about their well being. Ask them about their job, friendships, and other issues and then just listen.

5. Many women enjoy concert or dancing dates so they can see how their date’s dance moves might transfer to the bedroom.

6. Married women often need some quiet time after the kids go to bed. You don’t have to talk, just let her enjoy 15 minutes of peace.

7. Some women prefer text messages to phone calls early in a relationship.

8. A little playful roughness is good in bed, so don’t be afraid to hold on tight or move a little harder.

9. Married women still want to feel desired, so be sure to give sincere compliments and remind her how spicy she is every day!

10. If you’re single, they definitely want you to have your own place. If you want to be engaged but
are still living at home, then you need make some changes!

Knowing more about women won’t remove any of the “mystery”, it’s simply a great way to communicate better and enjoy a lasting and loving relationship.

Men who try to gain a deeper understanding of the fairer sex will enjoy time with their partner more, both in and out of the bedroom.
