The Reason He Needs To Hear Affirmation Is That He Probably Doesn’t See It The Way You Would

Men typically don’t pick up on “vibes” or body language the way many women do so he may truly have no idea how you feel about something he did. He needs to hear your words of affirmation telling him that he’s good enough. He needs to hear how proud you are of his work or just a simple “thank you” for his efforts. Don’t leave it to chance for him to try and figure it out—actually tell him!

“But shouldn’t he just know that I think he’s doing a great job?” I’m asked that question many times at women’s events and I always answer this way: He probably does “know” intellectually that you appreciate him but he still deeply needs to “hear” you say it. Wouldn’t you hate it if he rarely told you that he loves you because he figures you already know? Your words of affirmation reassure his inner question of “Am I good enough?” Your words encourage him and keep him going.
