What Does Falling In Love Feel Like For A Man

What does falling in love feel like for a man? We all know men and women are different. They process information differently. They approach problem-solving differently. And they ‘feel’ love differently.

This is not to say one way is good and the other is bad. On the contrary, I believe we are designed to complement one another. I see this in the creation account in the Book of Genesis. I believe God created us with a need for partnership. Marriage connects us in a way that adds value to us as individuals.

I don’t like the term ‘you complete me’ for several reasons. The main one is it puts pressure on our partner to be something they were not meant to be. Yes, they add value to our lives. I believe we are better together (I certainly am with my wife) than alone. The idea of our spouse completing us implies we are ‘less than’ without them. I do not believe this. However, we are better with them. I hope you can see the difference.

Enough of that rabbit trail. The point I want to drive home is love looks a little different for men than women. 

Many of the problems couples face in their relationship can be traced back to misunderstanding or underestimating this difference.

It is important to consider how different people show emotions and love. It has been noted that some men may have a hard time expressing their feelings through words, so they choose instead to express them in actions you can see for yourself. This could mean buying someone something special or taking care of the household chores without being asked repeatedly.

In general, it’s easier for women than men when it comes down to showing your partner how much you truly care about him/her because many times we rely on verbal communication as our main form of expression; however, this method isn’t always effective with every person due mainly in part from what society trains us at an early age – which determines our habits later-on throughout life.

We scoured our male readers to find out what love looks like to them. In their own words, here is what we discovered. These are their undeniable signs of being in love.

1. Falling in love feels like a rollercoaster ride.

It has ups and downs, but you trust the person you are with. You feel like you can tell them anything.

– Michael, Atlanta, Georgia

.Most men describe love as a rollercoaster ride. 

This is because it’s a mix of emotions, where you feel happy and sad at the same time. You’re excited but also scared about what might happen next – which people say love makes us blind sometimes! Most men describe this as feeling like anything can go wrong any second now; so they are both anxious for things to work out well while being fearful that something will come along in between them too soon or ruin everything all together before then.”

You’re excited but also scared about what might happen next because it feels like anything can go wrong any second now – which is why people say that love makes us blind sometimes!

2. You feel butterflies in your stomach.

One of the most common symptoms men experience when they fall in love, according to a study by Dr. Helen Fisher from Rutgers University and her colleagues (2013), are butterflies in their stomachs: this means you feel nervous for no apparent reason.

Many times these feelings come with other physical reactions too; such as increased heart rate/blood pressure levels, “dry mouth”, sweaty palms, etc. These are signs your body gives off after being exposed to adrenaline hormones during periods of stress, arousal, or excitement.

The more time you spend with the person, and as your feelings grow stronger for them – this is when it becomes even harder to control these reactions. 

The symptoms of love can be so strong that they start affecting other aspects in life such as sleep patterns or appetite levels.” “

Studies have shown,” Dr. Fisher says (2013), “[that] people who are deeply infatuated by their partners will often experience insomnia because thoughts about being together all night long keep running through our heads”.

As we get closer towards actually falling head over heels into true-love territory; there’s an increased risk of experiencing obsessive-compulsive disorder: where one starts obsessing excessively without any reason whatsoever!”

3. You’re excited to see this person.

When any person falls in love, they desire to spend time with the other person. Bottom line: When a person falls in love, they want to be with the other.

It’s so hard not seeing this individual for one day because you’re excited and happy when that time comes around again where both of your paths cross each others’ once more.” “

This is what it feels like to fall deeply into true-love territory”. It can feel as if there are butterflies fluttering inside their stomachs every single moment; waiting anxiously just wanting them nearby or even better: together!

The excitement doesn’t stop at being able to see her but also touches on how he makes her laugh uncontrollably which leads up an intense feeling she has never felt before!

4. It’s hard to focus on anything else.

Most men we surveyed said they had a hard time focusing on anything else when they fell in love.

“It’s hard to focus on anything else,” said one man. “I can’t stop thinking about her.”

Another admitted:

“[My girlfriend] is all I think of and want in life – she has my heart for sure!”

Why do we lose focus when we fall in love?

It’s hard to focus on anything else when we fall in love because it feels like the world is perfect. 

We want our partner with us at all times, and life without them seems impossible! It can be difficult for a man not only physically but also mentally if he has lost his job or had some other major setback that makes him feel down about himself – this could affect how they see their relationship as well which might make things more challenging between you two.”

5. You Go Into Protection Mode

This doesn’t imply women need to be rescued, saved, or defended. However, men have a protective instinct. They desire to protect what they love.

Men are wired to be providers and protectors. They want their woman happy, healthy, and safe.

“Protection mode is a natural instinct for men because they have the desire of wanting what’s theirs (their family) protected at all costs,” said Dr. Lisa Brinkman-Garcia PhD., LMFT – Marriage Family Therapist in Los Angeles CA.

“It can also mean that he wants you as his wife or girlfriend so much it feels like an obsession where nothing else matters but being with him 24/hours per day!”

This is often called the Hero Complex. Simply put, it means for a man to fall in love, one of the leading components is to feel like they are the hero. Find out more about the hero instinct in men here.

Some women balk at the thought of a man being their hero. I get it. But it doesn’t change the fact that for a man to fall in love, this is one of the things that has to happen. When a man feels like a hero, his heart connects on a deeper level.

6. His Provision Instinct Comes Into Play

The provision instinct comes into play as well: many times this means providing financially but also emotionally through supportiveness during tough days at work etcetera… This need may vary from person depending on what has happened earlier within childhood development stages.

Again, most men do not believe women are incapable of taking care of themselves. But when a man falls in love, he wants to be the provider. 

It’s no secret that men are different from women. Men and women have a lot of differences in their beliefs, actions, and other things. One thing that is true about all men is they want to be good providers for themselves and their family.

It sounds like common sense but it’s not always the case with some people who think money isn’t everything or don’t know how to manage money properly. This provision instinct is a symbol of his need for respect.

7. There Is An Intense Connection That Goes Beyond Words

This is perhaps the biggest, most profound revelation about men in love: There is an intense connection that goes beyond words.

The feeling of being in love can be so strong and powerful, it’s hard to put into mere language what the experience feels like for a man who has fallen deeply head-over-heels with someone.

It’s not just about sex or physical attraction; there are many other factors at play when two people fall madly deep down this rabbit hole together. This connection is usually an emotional attachment mixed up nicely alongside intellectual stimulation.

Love for a man is not about sex or attraction. It’s more than that. Love is about caring and respect for each other. This doesn’t mean they don’t want a great sex life; they do. But love is more than physical for a man. It is about the connection and emotional attachment.

Love is about caring for each other, respecting one another’s feelings as well their needs in a relationship or marriage to be successful; it takes work on both sides of this equation but when done right love can last forever!

Someone put love this way: It’s like being an addict. I agree in one sense. Love turns your world upside down.
