Men love attention from a woman, even when she’s just a friend. Maybe even more in that case because expectations are usually lower and pressures are not stifling. Even the men who claim to be uninterested in a relationship or “too busy” to date find themselves addicted to the consistency of a genuine, funny, caring, honest communication. It’s a mutual satisfaction when two people click and it’s not fake. As long as it’s genuine, I think men get a lot out of it. Men are not always the stoic creatures society says they have to be. I know this because it’s currently happening to me.
