This is a poll of 23 men giving relationship advice to women, and they wish women would follow them. While compiling the tips, I noticed that men have almost the same complaints as women.
Men want a confident, emotionally mature, honest, and aware woman.
As I read the comments from the men, it made me think really hard… If men and women want the same thing… Why are we always missing the mark in relationships? I think the issue is too complex to fully explore but I have a theory I’d like to discuss.
For The Single Ladies:
Mr. Rights keep dating Ms. Wrongs and Ms. Rights keep dating Mr. Wrongs. It seems that both sexes might have difficulty navigating healthy relationships and end up “burnt-out” and “frustrated” with the dating process. My cure for this process is doing the internal healing necessary to find Mr. Right. I detailed core things you can work on to grow in this area in the Related Article: 4 Keys To Find Mr. Right.
Lastly, be hopeful that there are good men out there. I strongly believe that there is someone that is willing to put in the SAME amount of work as you in a relationship and inner healing. However, you won’t be able to identify him if you are not healed. So, please start the process to inner healing and select a man that is already on that journey as well!
For The Married Ladies:
Continue to grow no matter what. Inner healing is the best gift you can give yourself. It is also the sexiest thing to offer your man. Can you imagine how endearing it is for you to be joyful and full of gratitude for your man daily? Remember, relationships should get better with time if both people are willing to do the hard-work.

Also to the women who think some dude wants to be with a gal who has her life handed to her on a silver platter from mommy and daddy, think again ladies.”
