Have you ever been inot situations where your girl needs a lot of attention?? I bet you have! because this is the most comman thing on earth, but why is it so? Are they made like that? Do they crave for more attention or is it natural? Dont guys need attention, Do they understand this side of life or are they ignorant?? Have you been in such a phase of life, where pampering is only that she demands, HOw do you make her happy all the time then????

I doubt that anyone can make another person happy all the time. As for why girls need pampering, everyone needs pampering sometimes men and women. It is that feeling of being made to feel special, of being allowed to take a break from the daily hassles. The pampering is about feeling special, treasured and valued to the person who is giving the pampering.

:) I am a girl and I like to be pampered, but I certainly don´t demand it. I think every woman likes to be taken care of to a certain degree, but as we get older, we learn to look after ourselves, too! As for attention, women need to express themselves more than men do. Men tend to process things internally, thinking about everything and making their decisions. Women talk their problems out and do their thinking aloud, which seems to confuse men. Really, all you need to do is listen, which is something that most men don´t know how to do properly and this is where the majority of problems occur. so if you think your girl needs a lot of attention, she probably does, but it probably isn´t as complicated as you think! Just try listening to her. you don´t necessarily have to find a solution to her problems when she is talking them out, she just needs to get it out in the open in order to resolve the issue. The worst thing you can do is say "uh huh" while staring at the tv! Looking at her, even if you are thinking about something else, is a big help. And repeating back what she says occasionally will make her feel good and takes virtually no effort on your part. For example, if she says "Lisa just walked in and took my pen right off my desk! Without even asking!" you could say, "Without asking?" See, no effort required! And your girl will feel like you are really listening and probably won´t demand much more. We aren´t really that complicated! :)

I think everyione needs attention and pampering. women just tend to need more attention and pampering from men, is the way I see it. Women show their emotions more than most men do. Men like to hang out with the guys more than the girls hang witht he girls. Women seek attention and pampering from men because they need to know they are loved and respected. They like to see it and hear it from men. Men seem to be more relaxed when it comes to a woman pampering them because in most cases it happens all of the time as it is. They never need to ask to be pampered by their women, usually. when two people care for each other, it should come naturally from both ends when it comes to pampering each other. You can keep each other happy that way and it will never feel demanding.

Yes, females have this problem of thinking that they are ignored even if somebody is not talking to them . They need to be centre of attraction always. As a male even I need importance but it's like in the group which I freak out with . I like importance at office , home and within my friends. Girls are like they want to be centre of attraction where ever they go. Yes, guys also need attention , may be they don't speak about it. Yes, my wife need total attention of mine and loves me like anything . I make her happy by just supporting her always. I never argue and support her maximum times.

I'm a girl myself, and yeah, I like attention. Who doesn't like attention? Even guys do. Basically, we spend so much time making ourselves look nice that it kinda sucks if the one person who should notice, doesn't.

No I have not been in a situation like this due to I am a woman, but I do know of some girls that do need a lot of attention, they feel that if they are pampered then they are loved by the one that claims to love them, I think that it is natural to feel this way. Yes guys need attention as well, well they should understand that everyone needs to feel like this and they should do this for the man as well.

Because women by nature are very emotional. We are the opposite of mens hard nature.( Im referring to most, if not all) Pampering is not hard to give if you really love a woman. WE need emotional security more that men does. We always want to feel that we are loved after courting. Make her happy by letting her know how you feel, how you love her. That simple!

I'm a lady but Im not most kind of girls that you are saying are in need of more attention or what you called "pampering" all the time, I can take care of my self and i can also pampered my self the only pampering that i need is the pampering of my mom but not the over pampering. let just put it this way some people men or women sometimes need to be pampered because they need to feel that they are important to someone they love.. it... just sometimes its OA already because sometimes they feel neglected if they are not pampered they just base their happiness to being pampered...demanding for enough pampering is okay but demanding for over pampering it needed to be cut out its not healthy!

Well, I think you have started a great discussion here. To me there is a fine line between an "attention seeker" as we are putting it these days and a girl/woman who has grown up in this day and age where society pretty much fosters woman's self hatred. So you may have someone there who needs to know they are important and loved or you may have someone narccistic. In my case I made this mistake in a relationship but only because I was dealing wiht my own self esteem issues and so wanted to know I was loved, attractive, etc. I did not crave stuff but just his attention so I would know I was a good person. I am past that now but I do understand the concept. Something to ponder.

That is not absolutely right, but I agree to what you mean. At this time, I just want to share what Iknow whether you all agree or not is never mind. Women or girls really need attention ,but most of the attention is not coming out from her own mind but from out side environment. I just mention about the outside environtment may be you have a wonder. It means that her family, boyfreind, child or so on. Sometimes, men give the attention to her such as look straighly to her with the sweet eyes, go apprach to her every time or speak with a sweet voice. Do you face this?

girls need pampering and so do guys!but we just need more coz by nature,we are more sensitive and fragile.and arent you willing to take care of girls since physically you are stronger?i think most girls pay attention back on their guys.we are not that self-centered kind.

well, i don't think that only girls needs pampering and to be at the centre of attention, guys needs that too. I think the most important thing is that when both people are together and in love, they will want to be felt pampered and needed.

I don' think that this applies to all cause I'm a girl but honestly I don't like attention always. I hate being pampered or be treated as if I will cry if you leave me or I'm like a baby. Maybe the sole reason of this is because it is natural for women to see and hear the love of there partner. boys show there love more on action but girls also want it to their ears.

I suggest you read the book "men are from mars and women are from venus". With this book you would understand why both men & women act such ways. Everybody needs pampering. we pamper ourselves after a hard days work with something we love to do... like having coffee to relax, a massage , a chat with somebody we love.
