Emotional safety
Emotional safetyis huge in relationships, and especially for many women.
As Spinelli tells mindbodygreen, “Women seek men who create a safe and supportive environment for emotional expression.
Feeling emotionally safe leads to the freedom to be vulnerable without fear of judgment or ridicule.”
And according to Gunsaullus, emotional safety only leads to greater sexual intimacy, which never hurts either.
Integrity
This one ties back to the idea of reliability, as well as accountability.
A man who lives with integrity is honest and in alignment with his morals.
It’s not all talk, no actionor worse, talk with actions that don’t match.
Communication
Effectivecommunicationis vital for healthy relationships, point blank, Spinelli says.
This also cultivates trust and vulnerability in the partnership."
Respect
According to Spinelli, mutual respect is essential in any relationship.
As Spinelli explains, “Thoughtfulness is a powerful one that women want.
What that means is, does this person keep me in mind?
Are they thinking about my subjective experience?
Is he demonstrating thoughtfulness in his actions, communications, and choices?”
