    I have read over and over that while womb get more attached to a man and bond with him through secx, men don’t at all. That’s why they have it so easy to sleep with women without feelings whatsoever.
    My question is then ‘simple’ as I’m not sure about this – how do men bond with women, then? What are your thoughts or experience?

    he has to connect with you emotionally

    Connect with you emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually, as well as physically – through activities and shared experiences. This is why it is good to date and try a variety of activities, have fun, create memories, and get to see one another in a variety of situations, go to dinner, ice skating, an adventure, picnic etc.

    This is why often men who are only interested in the physical will avoid dating and will limit activities to movies, movie at home, etc. it avoids the chance of creating memories and therefore bonding.

    However, I will also argue that if a man and a woman engage in long term casual sex bonding does still occur for the man even if it is casual in nature, unless the nature of the casual sex does not include some level of caring. However, it is not the kind of bonding that creates a relationship.

    Oh and most important, meaningful conversation and expressing vulnerability, opening up emotionally. Activities kind of open the door to bonding through shared experiences but there also needs to be an eventual deepening of conversation to allow people to get to know one another.

    Definitely through shared activities, and especially if he brings you into his circle of preferred activities. My guy is a musician and jams out from time to time. Early on, he asked me to join him but was worried I would be bored. I am a huge music not and had I had a ball.
    He was so excited that I shared his love of music and that I enjoyed watching him play.

    I totally agree with Ivy on the conversation too. Any guy worth his salt is going to want to know that you click below the surface too.

    The tricky part here is this: We have all seen men in FWB who ACT like a BF and this leads the woman to believe he doesnt just want sex.

    How many women come on here and say he doesn’t want a relationship, but we do all the things a BF/GF do?

    I agree with the above in terms of what makes a man bond. But also see if his words match his actions. He should SAY he wants a relationship with you and then back it up by his actions and time spent with you.

    The best answer is when you getting to know and learn about each other. What are his dreams, aspirations, goals? What are yours? Do you connect on an emotional level where he doesn’t leave you thinking or wondering what his intentions are with you?

    Women need to use their INTUITION moreso than their bodies. It is very RARE that a one-night-stand will extend beyond anything than a ‘roll in the hay’. In those cases, the woman didn’t just wow him with her sexual prowess, but there was something in the way she talked, acts, smelled, looked, that made the man go WOW, this is a woman I really want to get to know better!

    You will never know WHAT makes a man click/connect/bond with you, because often they don’t know either, its just something about HER specifically that makes him think about and want to be near her (physical, personality, energy, etc.) Over a few dates they can usually conclude if its friendship (personality only), lust (physical only) or signs of love (all of her qualities) where they will then start trying to see how much she likes him, and if she reciprocates, he will lock her down so another man won’t steal her from him. If a man doesn’t care if another guy steals you, no amount of sex will get him to change his mind.

    So he does it the same way he would with anyone, including his kids, friends, and parents? Seems pointless to bother.
