I feel like i'm way too affectionate

I love affection, I love to give it and receive it, it makes me feel good. If I'm with a partner and we're cuddling I wanna tell her how beautiful she is, I'm a guy and I feel as if- if I'm truly myself in a relationship I'm incredibly affectionate and I'm afraid itll come across as cloying and too much. I don't do loads of grand gestures just like cuddling all day and lots of physical touch and kisses and words of affirmation I just look at my partner and think wow shes amazing so then I wanna share that thought with her only it happens so frequently that I'm afraid I'll come off as needy. I come from a very affectionate household so I think that's where I get it but idk I just wanna shower my partners with love 90% of the time because it makes me feel good

    Nothing wrong with that. Some people love physical affection and that is their "love language".

    Hi im a human so i also like affection. We are tribal social creatures so it is vital for our happiness!! Sadly historical society has frowned upon physical and verbal affection and has silenced people for power.

    Don't worry about the incel kid he just has a shit personality so now wants to rape women to feel better.

    This whole site is just overthinking.....OF COURSE WE WANT AFFECTION

    The 2nd bf i had was the worst person ever and used me and didnt care for me and hes ruined my life. The person I am speaking to now is lovely and affectionate and I just love him so much

    You sound like my husband. He's very affectionate with me. It's not cloying at all, I think it's lovely. Sometimes I feel bad because I'm not as affectionate towards him, but that's just my personality.

    Just be yourself. If someone doesn't like it then they aren't right for you. No harm done. Move on.

    • I'm so glad I made this post, it has confirmed that I can be myself and feel comfortable doing so with a girl I love, and if she doesn't like it then we aren't compatible. Thanks!

    Your love language is physical affection, and you need to be with someone who has the same love language as you.

    If a guy did that with me, he would be straight out the door. Girls say they want guys like that but really they want guys who will be aggressive and dominant with them and sometimes ignore them/make them feel unwanted. Sounds like you are behaving like an over emotional woman.

      Being ignored and made to feel unwanted sounds awful. I don't even like that sort of treatment from friends and am out the door if it happens. I can't imagine why anyone would find that attractive, in fact that sounds like immature "hard to get" games.

        Women want strong men who will sometimes be violent towards them and will sometimes treat them like they are worthless

          Your words don't speak for anyone, but yourself.

            Most women secretly want that, they just won’t admit it

          I wouldn't say all or even most women want that... I know when I did have a desire to date, the first sign of that would've sent me running the other way.
