What Men Really Desire?

By Sindhu Bharadwaj

Men are known to be the simplest of creatures. They tend to be more emotional than women. However like a cardinal principle, every man has his own desires that he would want to accomplish and fulfill. Apart from the materialistic comforts and fancies that a man thinks of, he also desires for something more intense and realistic that he really yearns for, and that would mean the world to him. The swanky cars, bikes, gadgets could satiate his urge on a surface level but deep down inside, every man looks for someone who can treat him the best way.

Let us look at a few things that every man desires for-

Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love

It is always a tendency that a son is closer to his mother than his dad. This happens because, a mother is always unconditional in her love towards her children but more so a son, and tries to be there by his side in his thick and thin. The same holds good for his companion/wife who would love him for what he is and not who he is.

Friends
