This is another good point that women sometimes take for granted.
What men want is a woman who continues to socialize after they get married.
Sure, you might have kids and be too busy to have your old lifestyle, but for the success of your marriage, you must maintain social lives.
It will annoy the heck out of your man, but secretly, he wants you to meet other men.
Here's why...
You don't become the center of each others universe when you get married.
You are married, yes, but that doesn't mean you should always be, "the couple".
Some of the strongest couples I know are very social separately and sometimes even go to parties together and socialize separately, before going home together as a couple.
You (the wife) would have been appealing to your man before you got married because there was probably other men who were interested in you.
Competition is natural in the wild and its a core factor in the male instinct to hunt and mark our territory.
That doesn't mean we are going to urinate on you to show other men that you're ours (that's what the wedding ring's for), but you have to continue being irresistible and put the effort into the relationship by meeting new people.
If you can become good friends with other good-looking men, that means that you're still attractive.
You don't have to ask us if you're still attractive or not, that will prove it to us.
Also just as a general rule, if you have more friends, then it's easier for us to know whether we're right for you or not.
If we only have you to get a feel of how good a fit we are, there could be things we don't know about you that come up down the track that make our relationship a lot more workable.
Having more friends also shows that you're more likable as an individual.
Remember, we got married to you because we liked who you were before you knew us.
We don't want you to change only because we're married now.
Keep reminding us why we chose to marry you by going out there and showing your charm and friendliness to new people.
Ultimately, when it comes down to your last day on earth, you also want to be remembered by more people as someone who was likable.
You don't want to die lonely with no one to remember you.
It also shows that you're confident and complete as an individual, not needy, desperate or clingy.
