Have you ever wondered what makes some men jump to help out without hesitation?
According to relationship experts, it’s all about how you ask.
It turns out that framing your requests as challenges or “quests” can make all the difference in getting the support you need from the men in your life.
Men Love Challenges, Not Puzzles
Brenna Lynn, a content creator from Cleveland, Ohio, recently shared a valuable tip that has gone viral.
In a TikTok video, she revealed that men are drawn to quests—clear, straightforward challenges that give them a sense of purpose.
“Men love quests. All the men I want in my life, they like quests,” she confidently stated.
While they might not appreciate puzzles or vague hints, they do respond well to direct requests.
“Men don’t want you to be coy or elusive. They want to know exactly what you need,” she explained.
Brenna suggested that women should tell men clearly: “I want you to do this, and I’ll be happy when you do it.”
The key is to make the request easy to understand and present it as a task they can complete.
Letting Them Be Your Hero
Brenna shared a story of her friend, whose boyfriend had offered to scrape snow off her car.
Her friend initially hesitated, thinking it would be an inconvenience, but Brenna encouraged her to let him do it. “Men love quests,” she reminded her.
According to Brenna, it’s important not to deny yourself help when it’s offered—especially when it’s something that can make your life easier.
The message? Let him do the task, and then show your appreciation.
“Nothing makes a man happier than completing a quest for you and you being happy about it,” Brenna added.
It’s like a video game: the man completes the quest, and in return, you reward him with gratitude and kindness.
He “levels up” and feels like a winner.
The Hero Instinct and Why It Works
Licensed relationship therapist Jaime Bronstein agrees with Brenna’s perspective.
She explains that men have an innate desire to feel needed, and completing tasks for their partner reinforces their sense of purpose and masculinity. Jaime calls this the “hero instinct.”
“When a man helps you, especially with something he’s capable of doing, he feels like her hero,” she said.
This doesn’t mean women are incapable of doing these tasks themselves, but asking for help allows men to showcase their strength and capability, which is attractive.
When a woman asks for something she can’t easily do, like moving furniture, it taps into that “hero” vibe.
Kindness and Attraction
At the heart of this approach is kindness. Jaime notes that when a woman is kind and appreciative of her partner’s help, it deepens their bond.
“Kindness is attractive,” she said, explaining that when a man is able to fulfill a request, it reinforces the relationship.
“She loves him even more, which makes her feel special.”
Men Agree: A Quest Is the Way to Go
The concept has resonated with many men, who shared their thoughts on the viral TikTok.
One man commented, “You saying ‘quest’ activated my neurons,” while another admitted, “Anyone else hear ‘quest’ and immediately drop whatever they were doing?”
Others chimed in, noting that while they don’t like puzzles in relationships, they would gladly accept a quest.
However, one person joked, “True, but laundry is not quest-worthy!” proving that not all tasks are created equal, but the overall concept of framing requests as a challenge remains effective.
Wrapping It Up: A Winning Strategy
So, what’s the takeaway from all of this? If you want something from the men in your life, try presenting it as a clear, direct quest.
Not only will it make them more eager to help, but it will also reinforce their sense of purpose and make both of you feel more connected.
After all, everyone wins when the man gets to be the hero, and you get the support you need.
