Have you ever wondered what goes on in a man’s mind? That moment when you notice he’s worried about something and when you asked what was on his mind, he responds with a casual “Oh, nothing.”

Most women have a hard time understanding a man. When men act coy, rather than being all romantic and flirty, it confuses women.

Men are usually about black or white, yes or no, with their dating preference. But there are some things men just don’t want to share, and women would love to get their hands on those secrets men keep from them.

I don’t know why they feel they need to hide these things from their wives, girlfriends, partners, etc. But here are some popular things men are shy to admit to their women.

#1. They like watching girls eat ice cream

At first, when I heard men like watching women eat ice cream, I assumed it was the seductive way women ate their ice cream that turned men on. But there is more to this habit.

It turns out that the type of ice cream we eat is linked to some traits in us so if you want to give your crush a clue on what makes you different from the rest, eat ice creams that speak more about your strong traits.

#2. They hate when you try to drink as much as them

Some women like to brag about how they can drink more than men. The truth is that an average guy can drink more than an average woman.

If you’ve never heard that women are more susceptible to alcohol than men, then hear it now. So respect yourself and drink within your limits to avoid embarrassing yourself and your man.

#3. They like spontaneous sex

Common complaints among men are lack of enthusiasm, lack of rhythm, no creativity, and poor technique. Men are speaking up about boring sex. When sex becomes a duty, it turns boring- always doing it in the same place, at the same time, and in the same old position. Men like fucking everywhere, anywhere, and in different styles.

#4. They want to know about your fantasies

Men want to know what kinks and fetishes turn you on. They like to see you take control not just in the kitchen but in the bedroom as well.

They want to see you unleash yourself. Express your fantasies, use your hands, suggest toys without feeling ashamed of your sexuality.

#5. They hate when you keep male best friends

Men don’t like women talking about other men all the time. It is not necessarily an ego thing. It’s just that every man wants to feel special and important to the woman in his life.

They hate when you hang out with your male best friend and that your male bestie knows somethings about you that they don’t.

#6. They like it when you are the chaser

Just like me, most women don’t like asking men out. But guess what, men like it when we take the lead to ask them on a date, plan the event and pay the bills. So, as you are warming up for valentine’s day, make sure to surprise your man with a treat he will never forget.

#7. They like romantic, and cheesy gestures

Some guys may try to play it off like they don’t need praise, but in reality, they do love to hear what you think the skinny jeans and t-shirt perfectly grip their biceps.

They like it when you smother them with kisses as they return home after a long day. Anyone who tells you guys do not like these romantic gestures is full of crap.

#8. They want women to stop assuming they know we are thinking

Women expect men to read their minds like a clairvoyant. But the problem is that men are not very good at reading minds. In fact, they often have a hard time understanding what we mean by the words we say. If you are offended by something he did, or you want a certain item as a birthday present, just tell him because he won’t be able to guess.

#9. They don’t like talking about exes

Whether it’s yours or his, men hate it when you talk about exes, especially if you do it all the time or bring up details. It’s okay to have the conversation about exes, but you shouldn’t dwell on it or mention them too much because it’s a big turnoff for a lot of men.

#10. They don’t like you spilling things about your relationship to your female buddies

We all know that girls talk a lot more about their feelings than boys. It’s okay to ask for advice or vent when you’re frustrated, but a guy hates when you discuss the details of your relationship with all your friends. Most guys value privacy, so try to keep your fights or issues between the two of you.
