  • I MIGHT need to be made loved, but that's about it. Only I'm the person that can make me feel like a man. I don't believe anyone else can do that for me.
  • No man NEEDS to be made to feel like a man, they just are, but at the sametime they do like to feel good about themselves just as woman do too, so praising them is never wrong and for some makes them feel even better about themselves (making them feel MORE manly) Thats my honest answer, and I do hope it helps you.
  • Guys? Too broad for specifics. In general I would say some guys do just as some gals feel the need to support that need. A guy who needs/wants that and does not receive that will feel the relationship lacking just as a if gal feels that is something she wants to give in a relationship is not appreciated will look elsewhere. However if both the guy and gal feels the need or neither wishes to play that role then those two couples have at least that in common. I think I've got a headache.
  • Absolutely not. I already know who I am and what I am. You cannot make me what I am already. I do not need the help of a woman--or any other individual for that matter--to reaffirm me what is already firmly established. I have never had any crisis or any doubt of myself.
  • If that means feeling me....then yes.:)
  • Just as much as woman adore their feminine qualities being noticed. Men and Woman enjoy bringing the best out in each other. Right? ;]
  • I think that is something that comes from within. It's nice for loved ones to make you feel good about yourself, certainly..no one needs to be criticized or insulted by those who are close..they get enough of it from people outside their close circle..they don't need it from you. But if someone feels down on him/herself, and really unhappy, I think he/she needs to do the work to feel better..it doesn't really come from outside. At least, that's how I see it. Happy Friday! :)
  • I feel like a man 247, because I am a man, with or w/o reassurance.
  • fuck with a lovely girl then you're a man
  • I'm not sure, but my guy loves it when I call him Rock Star.
  • yeah but when you say there small they dont like it
  • I guess some do but I really don't have a need to even feel like a man. I feel anatomically male and that's independent of any external stimuli, i.e. I have never doubted what gender I am. Outside of that, I just want to be the best Brian that I can be, regardless of whether that conforms to whatever notions of manhood are out there.
  • I like to know that she appreciates and loves me. Guys are a little high maintenance in this area. We like to know we rock your world.
  • Not the confident ones.
  • Reminds me of an old song lyric (lack of current acute memory necessitates it remaining unattributed for now): "I know it's the woman in you that brings out the man in me..." - I remember now: the rock group Boston (circa '82?). - ;-)
  • Yes. My girlfriend has the greatest effect on me. If she says something, I almost always take it very seriously. Sometiems, it can be a bad thing. But she can change my mood or thoughts in an instant.
  • Some men do. Generally speaking, the more a man has been tested during his life, the less likely he is to require a woman to make him feel like a man. However, most men love to be admired and respected by the woman they love, and this never changes.
  • I wouldn't say that we NEED it, but it's a positive ego massage. Just as sweet words and flowers are to a woman.
  • omg nooooo FI. It comes from within, influenced by upbringing, etc. I'm not sure how an SO would do that, although during intimate moments, being given positive feedback helps, but even then I find the feeling of true manhood comes from within. Respect for one's manhood by SO is helpful, but this does not "make" the man feel it. (Does my answer make sense J? Ha-ha-ha....got me thinking there... "oh so smiley one". I do enjoy this topic though, so thanks!)
  • i think it is very important... sure helps the ego and also increases the confidence
  • It certainly doesn't hurt. Now, what constitutes being "made to feel like a man" varies from man to man.
  • I never needed anyone to "make me feel like a man". Now, making him GLAD he's a man is another thing altogether.
  • Not really but it dosent hurt to remind him every once and a while how sexy you think his manlyness is Good point rub his hands and tell him how safe you make me feel (even if you are more then capable of looking out for yourself) if that doesnt put a huge smile on his face i dont know what will
  • I don't think it increases the confidence, however it feeds the ego even though ego is made of nothing. If a guy have a problem feeling like a man, then the girl will feel it too, and it would be very wrong to put a girl in a position to lie. Instead of expecting her to say something that is not there or seen or felt, it is better for the guy to work on the area that seems to put him down. W either that being luck of confidence or posture or muscularity or looks, or attitude.
