Although a man isn’t going to pass up the chance to look at such a woman, the perfect body is not at the top of a man’s want list. You don?t have to have that perfect body if you want to enjoy great lovemaking with your man.

Here’s what men really want from their women:

Passion

Men love passionate women. A lusty interest in intimacy will wow a man every time. A blasé ¡ttitude isn’t sexy. Powerful positive emotions of love and desire are. These emotions are far more important that the packaging in which the emotions come. Men want to be desired and loved. Letting them know that you’re passionate about them will turn them on every time and pave the way for great lovemaking.

Enthusiasm

Men want women to be enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is upbeat energy, and upbeat energy is electric. Bring enthusiasm into the bedroom and watch the sparks fly. Enthusiasm improve your lovemaking almost instantly

Caring

Men need their women to be caring. A man’s ego really can?t handle much criticism. Criticism, in fact, is a great way to kill ardor.

A woman who is working hard to be perfect herself tends to exact the same standards from her lover. That kind of pressure is a definite turn-off. Nurture your partner with the kind of caring you’d like to receive yourself and you’ll be amazed at the kind of gentle response you’ll get in return during lovemaking.

Kindness

Men want kindness and patience. When women go on rigid diets, they tend to get a little, ah, witchy. Men don’t like this.

Men want women to cut them some slack and treat them with the same respect that we often save for our best friends. A man who is respected and treated kindly will usually be a happy, virile man who is wonderful at lovemaking.

Playfulness

Man want women to be playful and have a sense of erotic adventure. Who wants a woman who’s all serious and hung up on getting things just right? Intimacy shouldn?t be about looking good. It’s about having fun. A woman who is willing to experiment and get silly in bed will enjoy incredible lovemaking.

Women think that men don’t want intimacy. This isn?t true. Men want it as much as women do. They just don’t like to talk about it. If you want to be close to your man, stop focusing on creating the perfect body and create the perfect atmosphere for lovemaking. he great thing about giving your man what he wants is that it will get you what you want - closeness and romance and awesome lovemaking.

5 things men love to hear on a date…

“Then what happened?”

This question would surely make him feel that you are listening to each and every word that he has been talking since the past couple of minutes. Changing the topic, interrupting him or even looking at your nails will make him feel like an idiot talking nonsense. Even if you say “Uh huh” will give him and instant clue about you losing interest in the conversation. But instead, actively bounce comments like, “You’re kidding! What happened next?” or “Go on…” That way, he’ll know you’re indisputably interested versus just being gracious.

“That’s pretty impressive.”

Make him feel like a king. If he is mentioning something like a job promotion or a way to fix his air-conditioner by date, that is definitely something you should not ignore. Rather compliment him for what he has achieved. The key is to feed his ego by cherishing his achievements.

“Thank you.”

This word won’t make you smaller in the eyes of your man. But this is just another way to approach his heart. Thank him when he compliments you on the way you look, thank him when he pays the bill; thank him when he drives you back home. Although, don’t use the word unnecessarily, but manners do matter. In the most informal dating scene today, this will make you look a lot sensible and appreciative.

“What do you do when you’re not at work?”

Guys are not the multitasking types. They surely give first preference to their work. But you might get to know some more information about the man once you pop this question. You may even find some new and innovative ideas to spend time with him after work. You may even learn about certain similarities between you and him.

“I’d like to get your outlook on something

Rather than asking for an opinion on shopping, knitting and shoes, try taking his opinion on how to handle a tricky colleague at work or rather if you wish to buy any new gadget like a digital camera or a laptop. Everybody loves to feel useful and he will definitely be of some great help.

Here are the top three things every woman wants for Valentine’s Day. You may be surprised!

A Show of Effort

Women want to know that their man has put some thought and energy into making their Valentine’s Day special. They want to see that there was time spent in preparation for the evening. It’s not about how much money you spend. In fact, it’s better to have spent more time than money on Valentine’s Day.

Plan an evening that requires a little forethought, and preparation. Women know if you just stopped at the local convenience store to pick up some roses on your way over. Give her a night dedicated to her wants and desires - not just something thrown together at the last moment.

Proof You Listen to Her and Know What She Likes

As a man, one of your most important jobs in your relationship is to listen to your woman. Women drop clues on a constant basis in everyday talk. For example, if the two of you are out shopping, she might see a bunch of tulips, and say “I just love tulips! Pink tulips are my favorite flower.” One of the best things you can do is hear that information, remember it, and use it at a later time.

Then on Valentine’s Day buy her pink tulips instead of the standard red roses. Chances are she will be so impressed that you even knew she likes pink tulips, because she forgot she said it, or even that you remembered all this time, and that you went to the trouble to surprise her with her favorites.

This can apply to anything including a certain food she loves but never indulges in, a hotel or retreat she’d like to take with you, a piece of jewelry she adores but would never spend the money on herself, or maybe something off beat like she’s always wanted to learn ballroom dancing - Sign the two of you up for lessons. There are many ways to make Valentine’s Day memorable if you just listen.

Pamper Her

All women love to be pampered. Some may not be used to it, or not even know what they like, but I promise you all women will love it. A gift certificate to the spa is not the same. Here’s why - When you pamper a woman you are taking care of her, you are making her feel good, and by you doing the pampering you are showing your love. So how should you pamper her? Every woman likes different things more than others, so don’t be afraid to ask her ahead of time. Here are some suggestions to get you started.

You could make a bubble bath for two complete with candles and champagne. If she’s not a bath girl, you might consider buying a small bottle of massage oil, have her get into her bath robe and give her a back massage. If she’s a woman that spends her days on her feet, you may want to give her a pedicure.

Remember that however you pamper her it should be done for her enjoyment alone. It should not be used solely as a way to get her warmed up for sex. If she leads it that way, then all the better, but go into it with the intention of just making her feel good. Women can sense when they are being primed for sex, and when it is a genuine act of kindness.

The key is to listen to her, find out what she really likes, and plan an evening that caters to her. Surprise her with her favorite things instead of the typical Valentines roses, chocolates, and teddy bears. And, spend time and effort to make this Valentine’s Day a night she will remember and brag to her friends about.

Let’s start by defining ‘romance’. This may sound easy, but just ask a few different people and you’ll get as many answers as the number of people you ask. Is it something to do with love? Is it togetherness and spending time together?

From my perspective, romance is a celebration of the life you live together. Romance is not responsibility but it is truly caring about your responsibilities towards your lover and partner. Romance is the appreciation of two people who are celebrating the love that they share with one another.

How do you make this an incredibly romantic Valentines Day?

Here are 5 tips to make your Valentine’s Day sizzle.

1. Don’t Buy a card. Anyone can buy a card… Why not be a little more creative and write your valentine a love letter poem. If you’re not a poet, a quick search on Google should get what you need. Take this opportunity to tell your valentine why you love them, what you find most attractive about them, and how much you appreciate your relationship.
2. Know what they like. Don’t just go out and buy the standard flowers and chocolate. That’s the lazy way out… Get your Valentine a gift that will actually mean something to them on a personal level. What do they like to do? What kind of music do they like? What are they passionate about?
3. Rather that a gift, go on a special date. Again, think about something your Valentine truly enjoys, dancing, dining out, or snuggling on the sofa to watch a great movie - a movie that your valentine wants to see.
4. Everyone loves a little suspense. Start building up to Valentine’s Day a little in advance. Hint about your plans or gift without giving too much away. This will let your valentine know that you’re thinking about them and that you’re really excited about this special day.
5. Think ‘romance’. Romance includes the words you say, your body language, and your surroundings. Make sure that your attention is 100% on your valentine, not the day’s events or latest sports scores. Get some candles, turn down the lights, and play some romantic music to create a truly romantic atmosphere.

Here are some Romantic ideas to get you started.

• Breakfast in bed.
• Make your Valentine’s favorite meal or take your valentine out for a special dinner.
• Send your Valentine (male or female) flowers at work. If you are on a tight budget, give just one single hand-delivered flower. Remember, it’s the thought not the quantity.
• Do something unexpected! Drive across town to take your Valentine out for lunch.
• Send a gift basket of indulgent items.
• Embroider “I Love You” on his pillowcase. You could also use a water resistant marker.
• Poetry is traditional for Valentine’s Day. Make up your own or buy a book of love poems that you can read together.
• Dedicate a favorite song to your Valentine on a radio show that he or she will be listening to.
• Write “I Love You” in lipstick or shaving cream on the mirror. You could also tape a heart with the words “I Love You” if you prefer an easier cleans up.
• If your sweetheart is going to be away from you on Valentine’s Day, get several Valentine’s Day cards and put them in different places in his or her luggage. You could sequence them with “Open Me on February 14th” or “Open Me on February 15th” to create some suspense. Don’t limit this idea to just Valentine’s Day!

Poolside/Beach

Nothing could be finer than a romantic beachside event with the person you love. Paradise by the water, you will be sure to feel the love and energy as you focus on your lover, the sparkling water, and the warmth of the waves or the feel of the sand. You can make love in the water or on the sand. You can also have a romantic picnic, or spend the evening wrapped in each other’s arms while you look up at the stars together. No matter what you are doing this location has the ability to be incredibly romantic, especially at night with the moon and the stars shining brightly.

Mountain Retreat

If you are a fan of snowy weather, as opposed to the sun and sands of paradise, the Mountain Retreat is perfect for you. Whisk your lover away to the wild and fun wilderness. Take in the snowy mountains while you sip cocoa and curl by a warm fire. If there is snow on the ground you might sneak out to play in the snow together, like children. No matter what you decide to do, many people find locations like this, where you are tucked away alone together, to be the perfect thing for two lovers on Valentines Day.

Luxury Hotel

If you have a chance to get away, you do not have to go as far as the beach or the mountains. A luxury hotel will offer all the romantic options that you might want. Many of these fabulous hotels offer rooms with fireplaces, Jacuzzi tubs, and huge beds. Additionally, depending on the area you can expect dazzling views of city skylines from many hotel room windows. All you need to do is order some room service and enjoy some tasty treats, some great wine, and each other when you choose an option such as this.

Wine & Dine

All you need to do is choose one of the fanciest, most romantic restaurants in town and let them do the rest. You will be able to enjoy a candlelight dinner with your lover in a romantic setting with excellent food. Afterwards, take your lover dancing or go to a late show. If the beach is nearby, take a walk along the sand while holding hands. Whatever happens from there is up to you!

Fireside

If you find that you are on a budget, but you still want to have a little romance this Valentines why not create the romance right in your home. Start a fire and camp out in front of it. You can serve some excellent tasting food and wine, and have some sweet treats ready so that you can create a romantic picnic in front of a roaring fire.

This will offer you a wonderfully romantic gesture that also gives you the pleasure of allowing you to feel right at home. Once you’ve finished with your picnic you can curl up right there together or you can pack up your meal and head to bed.
