okay, now I'm wondering... Do men need reassurance ?
For me absoluteley. We married our wives to take care of them. We want to know we are doing that and that we are appreciated for our efforts. I don't need reassurance that my clothes look Ok but that I am a good and honorable man and that she respects me. It is human to doubt yourself. I am not looking for her to prove my worth but for approval in her mind. If she does not approve then I am not doing a good job as husband. I think this would be part of the chicken/egg dance. Think of the animal kingdom and how birds show off their feathers to impress the female. We DAM also want to be noticed and told how great we are. What does the male bird get for his display?
