Paula Quinsee, a relationship expert, explained that:

“Men and women do show or display love differently, however, there are both universal and culturally influenced ways that love is expressed and experienced.”

Difference between men and women in love:

• Women often emphasise the need for emotional connection, nurturing, and verbal expressions of affection. This stems from our social and gender-role conditioning of being the softer, gentler gender, so women tend to prioritise relational harmony and emotional intimacy.
• Men express love more through actions than words, such as providing, protecting, or performing acts of service (e.g. DIY). This is because culturally, men are often taught to value respect (head of the household)and accomplishment (career achievements and material assests) as ways to show they care.
