Making a man happy doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, the more committed you are to making him happy, the more wildly devoted he will be to you! There are certain things that most men value in a relationship, which, if provided, can enhance their overall happiness and make them eternally grateful, loyal, and madly in love!
Here are some tips on how to make (and keep!) a man happy:
- Let them invest in you! A man needs to feel needed. Part of allowing a man to be in his masculine energy is to let him lead. For a lot of men, that means paying for things, making plans, and investing time and money in you. Show appreciation for that! It’s not cute to fight over the dinner bill. Men like to feel appreciated and respected for their efforts. Whether it’s a small or big gesture, acknowledging their contributions and expressing gratitude can go a long way in making him feel valued.
- Put yourself first- This is not advice to be selfish, but rather to be grounded in the woman you are and attentive to your own needs. Fill your own cup! Spend time doing things you love and be vigilant in your needs and boundaries. When you respect yourself, you teach him how you expect to be treated. This sends the message that he’s got a queen, not a whiny princess!

- Give him space: Men value their independence and alone time. It’s important to give them the space they need to pursue their hobbies, interests, and friendships. Respecting their need for space can help foster a healthy and fulfilling relationship. That means you are free to make yourself scarce and do the things you love to do too! This is a healthy balance of union and individuality that men need, and if you can give him space without pouting about it, he’ll cherish you and put you on a pedestal.
- Be a little mysterious. Communication is key in any relationship. Men appreciate honest and clear communication, so it’s important to express your thoughts and feelings openly and effectively. But it’s perfectly ok and even alluring to leave a little mystery. I’m not suggesting you play games. But maybe you go shopping for something sexy and hint at it without telling him the whole plan! Maybe you surprise him when he gets home with new hair, new makeup, and a hot dress (and then go out with your friends!) Surprise and mystery are exciting to a man and keep you both from getting bored!
Making a man happy requires effort, but it’s worth it. By showing appreciation, giving space, communicating effectively, showing affection, supporting their goals, having fun together, and being a little unpredictable, you can help create a fulfilling and happy relationship that lasts a lifetime!

Hi Jaki…
I always appreciate your timely workable advice! I was married for 51 years, when widowhood happened. I was older, but my dating experience was that of a twenty year old. My understanding of dating was dated, to say the least. It has been six years of experiencing the excitingly new aspects of dating. There was a big learning curve, a lot of appreciation for what went right, and some challenges. I’m always interested in what you have to say, so keep up your very important effort.
Please remember those of us seniors in the dating world, and our journeyed/open point of view.

Glad to hear from you, Joyce! Thank you for your comment. I won’t forget you, seniors! My grandmother had a lot of boyfriends over the years, and we talked a lot about dating, so I know I learned some things from her. It’s defiantly a different landscape, and I applaud you for putting yourself out there and learning new skills. Keep going! xoxo
Great blog post on the 4 points!
Glad you thought so! xoxo
