If you\u2019ve been with your husband, fianc\u00e9 or boyfriend for a while, you may have noticed that he is quite vocal about some things (e.g., sports), but perhaps quite muted about others (e.g., your relationship). Not that sports are not important \u2014 believe me, they are \u2014 but when it comes to critical relationship questions, many women ask, \u201cWhat is he really thinking?\u201d The silence can be frustrating, especially with your relationship on the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I knew what my man really thinks about\u2026 (blank),\u201d many women say. With apologies to Taylor Swift, there are a number of important blank spaces that women want addressed with honest answers about what men truly think.<\/p>\n

For this column, I asked men via Twitter (@thosecrazymen) and Whisper this question: \u201cWhat do you secretly love about your girlfriend\/fianc\u00e9e\/wife?\u201d The 500+ responses were enlightening \u2014 ranging from cute and adorable to crass and, let\u2019s just say, less adorable.<\/p>\n

The answers were pretty evenly divided in to two categories: emotional and physical. Here are the responses that came up again and again.<\/p>\n

1. Her smiling and laughing at my good (or not-so-good) attempts at humor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Echoing many similar comments, one guy confessed, \u201cThe way she laughs at my dumb jokes, she always manages to put a smile on my face.\u201d Another wrote, \u201cWhen I say something funny, I love seeing her smile and the way she laughs and giggles. Makes me wanna kiss her every time.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Catching her looking at me in a loving way<\/strong><\/p>\n

One man wrote, \u201cWhen she looks at me and I catch her and she looks away really quick. Makes me melt and feel so wanted.\u201d Seeing a girlfriend or wife secretly giving adoring looks was a definite turn-on for men, with one writing, \u201cHer loving look toward me when she doesn\u2019t know I see her is simply the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Her acting shy and adorable, or doing something unique, such as the way she crinkles her nose, bites her lip or fidgets with her hair<\/strong><\/p>\n

One guy wrote, \u201cI love the way she twirls her hair when she gets nervous.\u201d Other men wrote about loving the way their girlfriend gets shy or embarrassed, with several citing blushing as a big attraction. Men also wrote about very unique things they love about their partner. \u201cThe way she wears my shirts that are way too big for her, so they look like dresses,\u201d wrote one. \u201cHonestly I love it when she sneezes. She sounds like a kitten, it\u2019s so adorable,\u201d said another. Clearly, these men love their partners and their one-of-a-kind quirks.<\/p>\n

4. Her getting aggressive with me, such as squeezing my butt, biting my lip when we kiss, and initiating sex<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the aggressive theme, big hugs and hugs from behind are popular: \u201cI love it when she surprises me with a big hug from behind,\u201d wrote one. Aggressive kisses also made the list: \u201cI love when she bites my neck and lip when she kisses me \u2014 a real turn-on,\u201d said another. Not surprisingly, initiating sex \u2014 oral and otherwise \u2014 was also popular.<\/p>\n

5. Playing with my hair or rubbing my shoulders or back<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hair, shoulders and back were also popular with men. One man wrote, \u201cI love the way she plays with my hair. That always drives me crazy.\u201d And another wrote, \u201cWhen she rubs my back and shoulders, that\u2019s one of my favorite things in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. When she wants to cuddle with me and nuzzles up closely to me<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breaking wide open some manly stereotype, many men admitted they melted when their women wanted to cuddle with them. \u201cI love the cute way she asks me to cuddle her before bed,\u201d wrote one cuddle-friendly man. Another wrote, \u201cMy favorite thing is when she\u2019s laying on my chest, trying to get as close as possible to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

There you are \u2014 six things that men secretly love about their girlfriends and wives. Which of these came as a surprise to you? Do you know what your man would say?<\/p>\n

This topic was so popular that a number of women posted comments about how much they loved reading these. One woman wrote, \u201cAww, these are adorable. I wonder what my BF secretly loves about me.\u201d<\/p>\n

With so many responses from men and such strong interest from women, it almost begs the question as to why these need to be a secret. One man wrote, \u201cSecretly? There are no secrets when she does good stuff \u2014 I let her know I like them so she\u2019ll do them again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s some great feedback for the male readers as well.<\/p>\n
