We really appreciate it. It helps us out a lot and helps us spread a little love that I think the world needs. All right, let's get to the podcast. Here are five ways to just get a little more affection from men. Because I never want you to chase love and affection, but you can still inspire love and affection from your partner. My name's Adam Lodolce. I'm an executive love coach and the CEO of Love Strategies. And currently we have 580 active clients that we are working with to get out there and attract love make. Many of them are in the best relationship of their life. And what I will say is, many clients, when they start working with us, they've never really experienced affection before. The only type of affection they've experienced is attention from men. But I will tell you, affection is totally different than attention. Attention is just an action. A guy notices you, he might show up for you, but affection is a feeling. Affection is the way that we actually show love, warmth, care. It's through touch, it's through words. It's kind of the glue that holds an emotional connection together. So with that said, here's how it is that you can start getting some more affection from men. The first way is to start celebrating his masculinity. Now, I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous. I know some of you might just be like, oh, I don't want to do that. That's not for me. But listen up closely. If that's you, this is actually going to help you out a lot. Because men do not open up when they feel constantly questioned or corrected or compared. They open up when they feel respected. And ultimately, when you admire his strength and start recognizing his effort and let him know that you really see him, not who you want to change him into. Okay? When you really see him for who he really is, he's going to naturally want to get closer to you. He's going to want to be more affectionate. Because I will tell you, I used to be an executive coach for a lot of men out there. They don't bloom under a microscope when you're just, like, micromanaging every single thing they do. They. They don't get better. They don't want to stay with you. He only blooms when he Feels like a hero in your eyes and it's cheesy. But I promise you, if you actually lean into that mindset, it's going to not only boost him up, but then he's going to reciprocate with his affection towards you. And if you want a strategy to help you be able to inspire more commitment for men, I recommend you head on over to he commits dot com. I have five simple strategies that make men commit. It gives you some strategies based on my experience of coaching men on how to meet all of you beautiful ladies. The second way to be able to inspire a man to be more affectionate in a relationship is by upping your playfulness and your fun. Like at the end of the day, men don't always express love through like these deep talks and these candlelit dinners. And I know you want that many of you at least. But sometimes men will just show how, how they care about you through a dumb joke, through kind of a little playful shove or a little bit of a goofy grin. He's just having a good time. But at the end of the day, if you can't laugh with a guy, if you can't tease him or you can't meet him in that playful space, he's not gonna feel free around you. He's not going to want to be affectionate around you. Like so much of a great relationship, I think many of you will agree is just about you and him being together and having a nice time and having fun and laughing together. You gotta be able to accept that and enjoy that. Even if his goofiness is a little, at times, a little bit of cringe worthy. All right. The third way I recommend you inspire him to be more affectionate towards you is to just create a safe emotional space for him. Because if a man doesn't feel emotionally safe with you, he's not going to be able to fall in love. He's only going to be able to perform for you. You don't want a man who just performs on a first date. You want him to actually fall in love if he's the right guy for you. And you really can't expect deep affection if he's constantly walking on eggshells. At the end of the day, emotional intimacy, it's not built through control, through criticism, or just trying to fix him. It's built when he feels seen, when he feels heard, when he feels accepted and safe enough to let his guard down. Just like you, right? And if a guy has his armor up around you, you're never going to experience the real man that's underneath. Another way to inspire his affection towards you is to just communicate your needs clearly. Look, us guys, as much as you want us to be, we're not mind readers. We can't get into this noggin of yours right here. And sometimes we just genuinely don't understand what it is that you're looking for from us. So instead of dropping hints or getting frustrated that he's not kind of getting it, just tell him what it is that you want. For example, if you want more affection, you can say, like, look, I feel so loved when you hold my hand or give me a hug. It really means so much to me. What is he going to do from that point forward? If you express it in that way, with that framing, he's going to start holding your hand, giving you hugs like you've never experienced before. You just got to tell him what it is that you want. So framing it in this way positively makes it so much easier for him to understand it without feeling criticized. Like, why don't you ever hold my hand? Or why don't you ever give me a hug? Is that going to inspire him to be more affectionate? Probably not. But if you let him know I feel so loved when you hold my hand or give me a hug, he's just going to want to make you feel more loved every single day. Now, the final way to really inspire affection, I believe this is the most important, is to show him affection first. You know, men, we really do mirror what it is that we receive. And if you're craving more affection, you got to start by giving it. And it doesn't mean it's all about, like overdoing it or smothering him or texting him every single minute of the day. But it could be small gestures, like a compliment, like a very well placed compliment, telling him that he's one of the funniest guys you've ever met or most interesting guys you've ever met or been with. Guess what? He's going to reciprocate. Even a playful touch can encourage him to reciprocate. So it really is the classic give what you want to get when it comes to relationships. And that is what we inspire around here at Love Strategies. And we want to coach our clients to be affectionate with the right types of high character men.
