7 Phrases Men Love to Hear

by Sarah Harrison

October 21, 2009

6. “Will you help me unscrew this?”

Men like to feel manly. It might not be PC, but it’s ingrained in our culture. Helping women with simple tasks makes them feel macho and noble. We’re not saying you should ask him to do things you can easily do yourself, but if you do need assistance, it’s a little ego-booster he’ll be happy to accept.

    sarah, this is about the only comment from your article that does not contain any feminist remarks!!! Men are NOT stupid and usually do not fall for that reverse psychology bull!!! If you are going to write an article about men try to see it from OUR point of view and not try to find angles on how doing all this will ultimately benefit you (females).

    Hahahaha! Number six is WAY OFF when it comes to my husband!! He works all day, all the time, when he gets home if I ask him to do any "Mr. Fix-it" chores he flips out. All he wants to do is come home and relax, not come home to a "Honey-do" list. So be careful on this one.

    Positive reinforcement is great for anyone, men and women. If the compliments are genuine, they can really boost someone's day as well, strangers and friends.

    I always tell my boyfriend that I love his butt. He thinks I'm weird. For some reason he doesn't think that woman are attracted to behinds.

    I always tell my husband how sexy he is . He used to have a beer gut and he acted like it bothered him, but I was was always telling naaa you look Great, he did. I like a little gut on a man, matter of fact I told him so much I think he added a 12 pack just for me. Now I say you look great, you should go to the gym with me.. LOL I do honestly think compliment go a long way. My parent are getting divorced after 32 years, I don't think I'v ever heard them 2 give each other compliment. You never here about people getting divorced or spitting up that were always giving public compliments. So I do my part

    well its funny reading this article because i would my lady such comments daily with minimal response as if they fell on deaf ears. but the comments coming my way where more like criticism. i guess i missed out on feeling appreciatted. so if your other, male or female, makes you feel that way you should appreciate them just a little more as well and show it.
