Have you boys wondered about the underlying reasons why you exert a considerable amount of effort to win hearts of girls, even in a 'one at a time' fashion? Have you guys ever thought of the potentials you receive when you are getting a girl to like you? Here is a checklist which you may accept or reject, but probably enjoy just the same!

Having a girl who likes you confirms your identity of being a man. This does not specifically pertain to the Freudian concept of ego and feeding this ego altogether, but for most men, confirmation or recognition of the masculine identity is as crucial as developing self-esteem. Yet, it is still a lot more important if you are getting a girl to like you for reasons other than 'because you are man enough'.

If you have a girl who likes you, you have the chance to explore and discover yourself more. When a girl likes your company as a friend or as a partner in a relationship, you may be able to do things you do not usually do with people of your same gender. You have a shot of becoming aware of what you can or you may do, without getting into so much trouble of strictly adhering to traditional views of how one must perform roles according to gender. For instance, you may, at times, be able to show your weaker or softer side if only to remain honest to yourself - which you are expected not to show to the whole world, especially your male peers.

When a girl likes you, you become open to the opportunity of having a deeper understanding about girls in general. Having a girl liking you may mean that you potentially become more aware of how girls think and act, of what may be pleasing according to each one's personality, of how you may better respond to and eventually complement girls in your life. This is especially the case when the girl who likes you has a personality similar or close to your mother or your sister; you get to understand them on a new level.

Getting a girl to like you also gets you the chance to prove your uniqueness. If a girl reveals that she likes you, you may be able to show how you differ from other men. Opportune moments present themselves, allowing even one girl to discover men in general and you in particular. Most men claim that they are farther away from the stereotypical, yet a lot more do not have the chance of proving this. In one way or another, losing this kind of chance becomes an excuse for even more men to resort to remaining 'just another one'.

Simply put, or to conclude, or to embrace all the other reasons which are not discussed here - a guy needs a girl to like him because in actuality, this completes the guy and vice versa. There really is so much more than the saying 'behind every man… is a woman'.
