Every partner should try to please their significant other, regardless of gender. However, I don't think either side should just expect to be catered to, which is what comes to mind with this phrasing (like I said, connotations).

I believe a lot of women still have the unfortunate mindset that it's expected of them, but that some honestly enjoy it. I also believe that it should never be taken for granted, on either side.
I agree with you. I also agree about the phrasing of the question.

I don't think it's a rule. In a healty relationship both partners try to please each other. If only one of them is making an effort, I think something is wrong.

I'd say it should be a bit of a compromise. Both should try to please each other and make each other happy. Afterall, isn't what loving each other is all about? It shouldn't be a one sided situation.

Thanks for your contribution. I value your opinion. It's true both partners should please each other.

I think that it depends on the woman or the relationship.

I think it depends on the power dynamics of the couple. I do, however, agree that women are more likely to try and please than men because of a preconceived mindset.

People always try to please other people, I guess it is human nature, but women tend to do it more.

This is very true of women, especially when they feel they have wronged you or need to compensate you for hurting your feelings.

It depends on the characters of some men and women, it seems that some can never be pleased with whichever extent you try to please them. The only solution is to imbibe the habit of appreciation.

Yes, I agree with that. A woman should please her man. It gives comfort and confidence to your man. And your man will always feel that someone especial really care.

I think in relationships people tend to want to please each other be it male or female. I think the problem comes in when it's demanded and not returned. When it becomes one sided and one party chooses to abuse it.

I hope in honest saying,this is not a biological/natural issue!
However,it is the couples' natural responsibility to keep pleasing each other and this is not naturally assigned to a specific gender group!!!

This question is on the minds of many
But to me I think women do try to please their men all the time. To them they wont get what they want if they dont.
For example in a typical African society women must submit to their husbands and do their bidding or else suffer the consequences. Therefore the women always think it best to please the men and make them happy so as to avoid being shunned by the husband , family and society
