Men say they want “a low-maintenance woman”
Translation: Someone who looks amazing 24/7 but pretends it took zero effort. 💅✨

Men say they want “peace”
Translation: Someone who soothes their nervous system, listens to their trauma, regulates their emotions… and never gets upset herself. 🧘‍♀️😌

Men say they want “honesty”
Translation: Unless it hurts their feelings, challenges their ego, or requires accountability. 🙃

Men say they want “independence”
Translation: But also be available whenever I’m bored, hungry, lonely, stressed, or avoiding my own life. 📱🍕😴

Men say they want “natural beauty”
Translation: Makeup, hair, skincare, gym, diet, self-care… just don’t let me notice the effort. 💄💆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

Men say they want “no drama”
Translation: Please don’t react when I create chaos. 🎭🚩

But what do men actually want?

✨ To feel admired
✨ To feel respected
✨ To feel desired
✨ To feel safe
✨ To feel understood

(You know… the exact same things women want.)

The difference?
Women are taught to express it.
Men are taught to hide it.

And so we all end up in therapy. 🛋️😅

Healthy relationships aren’t about guessing games, emotional gymnastics, or shrinking yourself.

They’re about communication, emotional maturity, mutual respect — and laughing at our collective nonsense along the way.
