Give your man a back rub
Many articles suggesting nonverbal ways to say ‘I love you’ seem suited more for the women wrote them. While a man might recognize the meaning intended in a candlelight bubble bath or rose petals strewn through the house, chances are those romantic gestures are not things he desires. It’s a woman giving him what she wants, the equivalent of a man buying his wife a power drill for her birthday.
If you want to tell your guy ‘I love you’ with a gesture that speaks to the male mind, here are my suggestions:
- A massage
- A surprise blow job
- Morning sex
- His favorite meal
- A free pass from a chore he would usually help you with
- Join him in the shower (warning, this could lead to number 2 or 3)
- Tickets to a sporting event he enjoys
- Keep him company at something he enjoys, but you don’t and would normally skip (ex: a boat show, a gun show, etc.)
- Touch him when you talk to him
- Dress up for him like it’s a special occasion, but do it ‘just because’
What are your suggestions for saying ‘I love you’ to a man? Men, feel free to ring in with what really pleases you.
These are all great ideas…and much more suited to REAL men than rose petals and bubbles;)
Thanks, Tess!
She could ask for or give him a good surprise spanking. Works for me…
Another good idea!
Great ideas, Cara. Thanks for the reminders.
I’m a fan of the naughty text message. So’s my husband. 🙂
I like it. Will have to teach my husband how to text!
Love these ideas, Cara. It’s amazing how doing one little thing to show our husbands how much we appreciate them can lift their mood.
I will of course need a list of all those in “favor” here. But seriously, a great list and a man who is the recipient, certainly should think the world of. At least that is my humble opinion.
Thanks, James. I appreciate getting a man’s opinion.
I think my husband would be happy with the second one every time – but the others are all good too 🙂
He’d laugh me out of bed if I started messing around with rose petals 😛
I do #8 a lot. My husband loves to fish, but I don’t. I tag along and take pictures of whatever he catches!
LOL. I think a lot of wives do number 8.
