What do men really look for in a woman?
I have been in this relationship for almost 11 years. We had some rocky year but everyone does I believe. He tells me he will never leave me and that I'm beautiful and he loves me. But he also likes to send flirting smilies and asking questions like I am asking now. Makes me wonder. Also he used to want sex all the time and now when I want sex and I let him know by showing him, he says now he doesn't want to. I know this sounds crazy but I really need some help with this one.

well maria,this is a tough one. you kinda sound like my wife!! i have been with her for 7 years and i love her very much and would never leave her. it used to bother her when i would smile or flirt with another woman. she sat me down and told me exactly how bad that made her feel when i done that. i do not want to do anything to hurt her so i stopped. as far as the sex goes.......sex does seem to taper off in most relationships as time goes by but that does not mean he has stopped loving you. it just means that your relationship has grown and it is way more about love than just sex.

WOW! Where do we start? You don't offer your ages so it makes it a bit more challenging. If during those 11 years the common senario has been for him to beg and plead for sex I would say he's more than likely "burned out" dealing with it! I talk from experience! Then again, if that's not the case age may be playing a factor. Medical conditions can definitely be a thought. And then again you have the guy who can play both ends of the court until the cat's out of the bag! If he was quite sexual and none of the above applies, he more than likely is getting a little something elsewhere! Some guys tell every women they come in contact that they love um', their beautiful, etc,etc,etc! It's called the "old line" of BS!
As far as what "men" really look for in a woman, that's not a generic question even though women tend to believe it is! Every man has his own thing- might be figure, personality, sex, kissing, whatever! You can't answer that question as proposed!

That's normal. All relationships start out hot and heavy because it's all new. After a while relationships evolve into much more than just sex. Passion dies down over time. It's common amongst may couples.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a couple that engages in sexual intercourse as often as they did the first year, compared to 11 years

Respect, trust, straight forwardness, a sense of humor. With respect to those specifics mentioned, sometimes, as crazy as it sounds, guys just aren't in the mood for sex. Perhaps spicing up your sex life could help. As far as his flirting goes, guys(and most girls too, for that matter) like a little attention from the opposite sex. It doesn't mean he'd act on it, necessarily. Have you posed this question to him? That could help.

You're not going to like the answer.
Many men simply lose interest in having sex with the same partner, over and over again (I know I would). Simply put, it becomes too familiar, been there done that a thousand times.
Variety is the spice of life.

2 of my firends broke up with their women at 11 years together, there girls had a fight with them. Theres something about that 11 year point. they where both not married but they both have new pantners and one got married 2 days ago i went to his wedding and the other is engauged with his new women. I think it usually ends at that 11 year mark cos of money problems and its at that stage were the kids will cost u more money but if u can get past that without getting mad or worried about him it will turn out fine :)

"What do men really look for in a woman?"
never what you are expecting for..
another thing that crosses my mind right now might be the fact that he had some other necesities unsatisfied. if he's asking you this question migh be because he wants you to figurate it out by yourself what are thoese needs and supply them, or might be the fact that he is passing through a period of changes. period of rearangeing of belefs and puting order in his life. the cause for this hypothesis might be related to an event recently happened or to his emotional structure.
my advice for you? don't worry so much because this too shall pass, and it was a great thing for you to came and ask for our oppinion, hope to be usefull for you what i've wrote here and good luck!

A soul mate and someone to grow old with and not to look for a younger model. Guess it takes maturity which is why lots of stars are never satisfied and constantly looking for a black cat in a dark room which isn't there.

11 years is almost like marriage without a paper . i sometimes think you should marry in a certain amout of time or it doesn't happen.i think its what i said and he is also not bound by a paper. even in marriage it happens all the time relationships go flat maybe forever maybe not . but 11 yrs .

ok a guy saying no to sex ... thats fishy honestly love.. without him knowing check his phone n stuff .. has he got a new lover.. but dont let this.. get doubt in your mind.. however its important.. a man saying no to a beautiful women. who he says he loves n stufff.. is an issue there in itself. .. i suggest you speak to him and tell him ow u feel and get it all open dont get mad at him that doesnt help (dont know why women think it does lol) maybe your sex life is missing a bit spicing up... ask him what he likes n see if that helps... best o luck
