It's been said that "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus". It will be hard for you (woman) to understand what's going on your man's head. Here are some facts that are collected from www.advice7.com so that you can know your man better and opt for long-term relationship.

What do men want? Most men want a sense of security but besides that they want too feel they can trust you. Men also want to take care of women to some degree (not completely just enough to feel manly). Men usually like a little excitement in their lives. A man's desire for excitement comes from their animal instinct to find food for their mate and desire to chase women. Women are naturally passive. Women have a desire to nurture a child...men desire excitement, competition and stuff like that.

The mind of men
Most men are not psychic and therefore can't guess what women want. Men don't work at the same intuitive level that many women do. Men can understand "spaces" and visual things more accurately than women. Women deal with communication and socialize more accurately then men. Its just the way nature works (in fact, it's been scientifically proven). We can't all be the same. Its just the way nature is.

A Man's physical desires
At times men can get too excited and do things at a purely animalistic way with women but they can control themselves if they are gently persuaded and not manipulated. Many times women try to "control" men through flirting, teasing, sex, or other things men desire instead of doing it for mutual enjoyment. Those kind of games are a form of abuse. Those games are usually the reason men start blocking their feelings or hiding them. This blocking of feelings and hiding leads to emotional breakdowns or violent explosions. Unfortunately men will usually go through all kinds of things to get their desires fulfilled even if they're being emotionally played with. Sad but true. Sure things might go a women's way for that day but lies and emotional games usually end relationships or lead to violence

What's one of the strongest desires a man has?
Men have a natural and usually passionate desire to pursue women. It's in a man's jeans (I mean genes). Finding a good woman is what most men desire. Anyway, the best way to live happily around men is to be honest and considerate. Its quite simple but it usually works best when both people are (unless one is "sick" in someway and the other is trying to heal the relationship). Most men can be amazing individuals if they are treated with respect and so on.

Of course, not all men are alike and most are different... the fact remains that some things have been proved by science to be true and generally correct and women should know that. Most men can be understood with some generalizations (most of the time but not always). I'm sure there are plenty of men who don't fit all of these simple characteristics but their natural animal instincts still dwells deep within all of them and here you'll read about it. Hopefully you can learn about a man in your life by analyzing his actions and taking all he shows you into consideration so you can truly understand him and live happily.

Men to avoid

Overly aggressive men
These men are usually a horrible problem just waiting to explode. These guys usually call themselves "confident" but they are usually very inconsiderate and have some "issues" that make them sick and they cant see the difference between being aggressive and being greedy. These guys are think that they are always right but the facts and reality almost always proves them wrong. Sometimes, overly aggressive men just loose control and their animal instinct takes over so all they think is "get all you can... who cares about others". Overly aggressive men usually just want to control others with their aggressive behavior that usually intimidates others into submission. The only person these people need to control is ...themselves.

The psychotic Dog men
These men are so obsessed with their hot dog that it takes over their life and they are actually slaves to it. It can get very sad sometimes specially if they're taught or believe that women are only there to please them and all they see is Property and not human being. Some women like this but most don't (maybe). They can be helped by being told (in a nice way) that they can find lasting pleasure by finding a sane man. They need to know that love isn't about possessing a boyfriend or husband... Love is about sharing life with someone special. At times a psychotic Dog man's mind will move into auto mode and they cant see feelings or emotions all they see it they're self-gratification. They can't or don't want to believe that other people matter. Hopefully someone shows them that real comfort and happiness comes with sharing carefully but not foolishly.

Cruel Cold men
These guys are just sick individuals who lost their sense of feelings and decency and replaced it with extreme selfishness and coldness. Many times these men can be perverts to the point that they cant really understand anything other then "I want so I should get". Sure women might want to run in and save them...but who will save them when they get hurt by one of these guys. Anyway, I think they need some counseling combined with re-education on how people should be treated. Many times they became cruel and cold because they feel its the best way to deal with reality (sometimes it is) but as long as they don't hurt others along the way we're okay. Unfortunately they usually end up hurting many people around them. These cruel men have to be shown that their actions lead to self-destruction.

Final tip regarding men
Men are human beings and living beings. Treat them fairly not just good. Fairly!
