I followed Love Island USA Season 7, and one of the contestants claimed she is not a physical touch person, only to find out when she got with her current partner that she actually is.
She must not have really liked the people she was with before, but genuinely caring about someone showed her that she actually loves physical touch.
I can relate to this a lot because I used to boldly say I wasn’t a quality time girly – I am an introvert and I enjoy being alone.
But after getting with my man, I discovered that I actually cherished his presence.
Yes, I still love my space, and he respects that, but I found out that he was an exception to that rule; I didn’t mind being around him for long periods of time.
I say that to say there are certain things women do with only men they genuinely care about.
To get that side of them, you need to be that man.
If you want to know what those things are, keep reading.
10 Things Women Do with Only Men They Genuinely Care About
1. She respects you
As we well know, there is a sense of respect that is subservient, and there’s another aspect that is earned and natural.
Personally, I prefer the latter.
But I know many men who don’t mind the first category.
However, if you want to be loved by your woman, I want to believe you will prefer the latter.
I started with that because you may automatically get subservience in specific communities, whether or not your woman cares about you, because society trains women to be naturally “respectful” to men.
But if you want the respect that comes naturally, you will only get that when a woman really likes you.
That’s why it is one of the most significant signs that a woman likes you; you will see that respect for you naturally comes to her.
Of course, sometimes, there is a thin line between the two, and you might not be able to differentiate them when you look at it from the surface.
The best way to identify them is that one will seem forced, and the other will seem natural.
So, you will see it in the way she talks to you, listens when you speak, and values your thoughts even when she disagrees.
A woman who cares about you won’t talk down on you or make you feel small.
And if she ever says something out of line, she will be quick to check herself.
Basically, respect is an excellent way for women to show love, and dare I say, anybody, because a man who loves you will also respect you.
2. She is soft around you
Another thing that happens when a woman loves you is that she will allow herself to be soft around you.
You’ll know when her tone, body language, and even attitude soften around you.
She might be tough with everyone else, but with you, she will let her guard down.
You will notice that her voice changes, and her laughter comes easier, and she doesn’t feel the need to act strong all the time.
That’s because caring for you makes her comfortable enough to bring out her feminine side without even trying.
3. She is more nurturing
A lot of women complain about how men act like babies, forgetting that many of them made them like that.
Trust me, most women can’t help it; when she truly cares, that natural nurturing side shows up whether she plans it or not.
She will be automatically nurturing, checking if you’ve eaten, reminding you to rest, or fussing a little when you’re stressed.
Of course, some might say she is playing mom, but the truth is that it’s just her care for you slipping into everything else.
She does that because she cares about you and wants you to be okay.
4. She spends time with you
Remember how I said I didn’t find out I loved quality time until I met my man?
That’s how women behave when they care about you; they want to be around you.
A woman who genuinely cares will make time for you, no matter how busy she is.
Not because she doesn’t have other things to do, but because you’ve become part of her priorities.
So, she wants to be where you are, share experiences with you, and exist in your space.
It honestly doesn’t matter whether you’re inside, cuddling, or outside having fun; all that matters to her is that you’re around each other.
If your woman is like that, you don’t need to think twice; you’re with a woman who cares about you.
5. She confides in you
When a woman starts opening up about her fears, dreams, or past, it’s usually because she trusts you.
Best believe that she doesn’t tell everyone those things.
So you’d better take it as a privilege that she shares personal details or cries in front of you.
Trust me, it’s a big deal; it means she feels safe enough to be real around you.
6. She seeks your opinion or advice
Another big deal is when a woman comes to you for advice.
Remember when I said a woman can be tough everywhere else but soft when she is around you?
That’s also something that plays out with a woman asking you for advice.
Trust me, it’s not that she can’t figure things out on her own; she values how you think or wants to involve you in her life.
I recall seeing some women talking about this on social media; they mentioned how they are tough at work but lose their frontal lobes with their man.
Of course, I am not saying she will become totally dumb around you, as that might be weird.
But because she trusts your judgment and wants to see things from your point of view, she will ask you about work, family, or even something as simple as what to wear.
7. She seeks to know you
When she really cares about you, she’ll want to know everything about you, including what you love, what makes you tick, and even what annoys you.
You will see that she’ll ask you questions and actually remember your answers.
That’s because she wants to understand who you are beyond the surface; she wants to know your story, your past, and your goals.
She wants to know you.
8. She remembers things that are important to you
A woman who truly cares will remember the details most people overlook about you.
For example, she’ll recall the date of your big meeting, your favorite snack, or that random song that you said makes you emotional.
When she brings it up later or surprises you with something thoughtful, best believe that it’s not a coincidence.
She’s been paying attention; she sees you, and what matters to you matters to her.
9. She makes you a priority
When a woman genuinely cares, she doesn’t just fit you into her schedule; she builds you into it.
You’ll see her making time, adjusting plans, and showing up when it counts.
Even if she’s busy, she will find a way to stay connected, like sending you memes or funny videos from social media.
Or recounting every random thing that happened to her when she finally gets to speak to you.
When you have that, just know you’re someone she values enough to prioritize.
10. She shows you
You will also know whether a woman cares about you by how she shows you she does; so much you won’t need to wonder.
You’ll see it in her actions, like in the way she checks on you, supports your goals, and stands by you when life gets rough.
She won’t just talk about being there for you; you will see that she actually is, because she will prove it over and over.
Remember that words are easy, but when a woman loves you, she’ll make sure her actions speak louder than anything she could ever say.
