The dude-dom is a whole new world—less expressive and more alien. But that doesn’t mean men aren’t emotional creatures. They want to feel loved and appreciated just like we women do.
However, cracking code on what really makes him tick can be tougher than a math problem. I mean it’s a different ball game, right?
Fret not.
For today I’m going to spill the beans on how you can make your man feel totally adored. No head-scratchers—just simple gestures to show him that he’s worth his weight in gold.
Let’s begin!
1. Cook His Favorite Meal.
Classy, simple, and sweet. Whip up your man’s favorite meal—it always hits the spot!
Set the mood with some soft Johnny Stimson in the background, candles, and wine. It’s like a warm hug in food form. Classic for a reason.
2. Give Him a Massage.
Massages are relaxing and intimate—two birds with a single stone.
Imagine this: he comes home after a tiring day only to get some TLC. Pure bliss! Plus, you’re not just pampering him. You’re showing how much he means to you.
P.S.: Who knows what this session might lead to! 😏
3. Wear His Favorite Dress.
Every guy has a favorite dress that he loves to see his girl in. That’s a fact.
So, why not go his way and spill some wardrobe magic? Trust me, he’ll realize how much you value his taste
Pair it with a good hairstyle and accessories because it’s not just about the dress, but the fact that you put in an effort.
4. Show Interest in His Hobbies.
This might seem like a no biggie, but it is a BIG DEAL.
Taking interest in his hobbies is equivalent to diving into his world, and trying to know him better. Be it video games, sports, or jogging—guys love it when you share their passions.
Show genuine interest. Don’t force yourself to love something that you hate.
5. Cuddle With Him in Bed.
He might not say it, but he also wants to be the small spoon—feeling safe, loved, and relaxed.
So, don’t shy away from switching positions and being the big spoon every once in a while. Drown him in forehead kisses, play with his hair, and hold his hand as he curls up in your arms.
6. Hang out With His Friends.
Hear me out—when you make an effort to hang out with his friends, you’re saying “I love to be a part of your world.”
Not to forget that you get to see a different side of him and understand his background better. So, be cool and show him that you respect his social life.
7. Shower Him With Kisses.
It’s the ultimate love language—as if you can’t get enough of him. So, bombard him with a million kisses everywhere—cheeks, lips, forehead, hand, neck, nose, palms, etc.
Shower your man with non-stop affection and brighten his day!
8. Share Important Matters With Him.
Let him in your world by sharing all your secrets, gossip, traumas, and stress.
Men love it when you open up to them about your dreams, past, and fears. It means that you can confide in them and see them as a life partner.
Don’t worry about being vulnerable or crying as you discuss your triggers. It’s a sign of ultimate intimacy or ‘I trust you.”
9. Ask His Opinion
A part of letting him into your world is asking for his take and valuing his opinions. You don’t have to necessarily follow his advice; including him in big decisions is what’s important.
It shows you’re considerate of his perspective and that he’s someone who can guide you in tough times. I’m sure this will boost his ego (positively).
10. Shop for Him
Treat him like a king by becoming his personal shopper. Find the perfect shirt that will accentuate his figure, choose colors that suit him the most, and suggest outfit ideas.
And as he reaches out to this wallet, casually offer to handle the bill and enjoy his reaction!
11. Be Affectionate With Him in Public.
Finding the perfect balance is the key here.
A full-blown makeout sess in public? A BIG NO!
Holding hands or a quick kiss is the perfect level of PDA you need to be cute, and not cringy. Don’t go overboard as it might embarrass your partner and make them uncomfortable.
12. Initiate Sex.
Women taking the lead in the bed is a major turn-on for most men. It shows you crave him and are confident of your choice.
Be the first to make the move—soft touches, a slow and lingering kiss, or straight-up asking/whispering for what you want.
13. Let Chore Duties Pass Sometimes.
Life can get hectic, right? And it’s times like these when you need a partner who’s willing to adjust and help.
Be that person for him. If your man is buried in work (say, he has an important presentation due tomorrow), let him off the hook.
You’re not only taking off his burden but also setting an example of delegating responsibilities maturely.
14. Share the Expenses.
Times have changed a lot. Today, women are equally career-oriented as men.
So, why not share the financial burden with your man and run the household together? You can divide utility bills and pick up the tab frequently.
Such gestures prove you believe in equality and that you treat your partner with respect.
15. Touch Him Often.
You can’t be cuddled up in bed every second. This is where the power of touch comes into play.
It can be a soft nudge, your fingers running down his back, or a warm hug. Even the simplest form of physical touch like squeezing his arm can make him feel loved.
So, touch him often and connect on a deeper level without saying a word.
16. Boys’ Night Out
Every guy needs his bro time. I know I said you should hang out with his crew, but not every time.
Respect his “me time” and let him enjoy with his friends. A boys’ night out shows you’re a supportive partner who’s secure in the relationship.
17. Encourage His Dreams.
Be that girl who believes in her man so hard that he feels if he could move mountains. That’s how much invested you should be in his ambitions.
Of course, that doesn’t mean blindly cheering your partner. Guide him if you think he’s taking the wrong path to achieve their goals.
Don’t be too pushy, but also don’t be insincere with your support.
18. Breakfast-in-Bed
Wake your partner up to a delicious home-cooked breakfast and some coffee. Spoil him on a lazy morning so that he’s all giddy with love.
You can prepare your man’s fave food. Or try something completely new and let him judge your invention!
19. Compliment, Sincerely.
Be your man’s hype squad and drop genuine compliments to appreciate him without faking it.
Here’s the trick—notice the little things like the way he plays with kids or gives you the bigger slice of cake. The more specific (and real) you are, the better.
20. Pamper Him in Sickness.
Wanna make your man feel like a million bucks? Nurse him through his sickness!
This is the perfect time to shine your feminine and motherly side—give him extra snuggles, remember his meds, motivate him, and become his wonder woman.
21. Remember Details.
Small gestures have a huge impact. One such act is remembering the tiniest details regarding your man.
Like his favorite coffee order, boy band obsession, or a forgettable fact that he told you some weeks ago.
22. Speak His Love Language.
Here’s the thing about love languages—we speak what we want to hear. So, if your man loves to take you out to dinner, reciprocate that.
Or if his love language is acts of service, make sure you constantly surprise him with little favors!
23. Help Him With a Project/Task.
Lending a hand with his tasks is a great way of saying “ I got your back.” It shows you care about his goals, and are willing to share his hard work. Plus, it’s a good way to bond and cheer them up!
24. Ask Him Questions to Know Him Better.
The best way to know your man on a deeper level? Ask questions to learn more about him!
Here are some to get you started:
- What’s your most embarrassing moment?
- How do you define success?
- Any guilty pleasure(s)?
25. Thoughtful Gifts
Random gifts are cool, no doubt. But the ones that have a secret story behind them? SWEET NECTAR!
So, put some thought into buying or creating the next gift for your man. Yes, you can prepare something homemade, too!
26. Plan a Surprise Date!
Ditch the ordinary and bring in some thrill as you plan a surprise date for your boyfiee. It can be a drive-in movie night, a romantic bubble bath, or a spontaneous road trip!
