I wish my husband is more vocal in appreciating things. He is a man of few words and doesn't voice out his appreciation of anything he sees nice.
Whenever i have a new blouse i would ask him if it's nice but he would say, you are the girl, so you know better if it's nice on you or not. Then, i would persist that he comments and he will say, it's okay. Just like that, even if i know in his eyes that he likes it in me. 
Then , he would hug me.
It's frustrating that he is like that but i love him and he does love me so also. How i wish he is more vocal though.
Guys, please share your related thoughts/stories also.

I have a similar dilemma, my husband isnt really showy about his feelings too and I wonder why he is like that. There are times that he would say that it's okay, when I really think that it's not. Sometimes I feel that he is only saying okay just to end the discussion. But maybe it is only me, I know he loves me and appreciates me.

With that kind of attitude of my husband i would initiate my show of affection though. He would reciprocate. But not when in public, he doesn't want them shown.

Yes sometimes we need to do something for them to open up, though I really like to play hard to get at times! Yes of course not in public, in our case public display of affection is okay as long as we limit it to holding of hands or a peck in the cheek but deeper than that, NO!

We men appreciate more by our look and gestures rather than by words. We generally accept the one we love for what they are rather than by what they wear. We may overlook something new that you wear and when you seek approval we actually notice it. To us it does not matter what you are wearing as long as it is you, the one we love. There are a lot of unspoken words in the mind but the eyes say it all. Don't you think that it is better than a few flattering words which may not be really meant?

Wow, thank you for assuring me , that, you men, are generally like that. Now, i don't have to fret when he didn't notice my new blouse.
But yes, actually i can always feel from his action those unspoken words.

That is all I would have wanted, there are small imperfections, but without them there would be perfect. Does my saying that I need a good word,although tease him, he always has the power to listen to me (do not think I always listen, but it's still important that I succeed in giving the impression that for the moment). It is quite careful with me,and I like to think I learned to love one another, and we take care that this love, to the perpetual advantage. It is the only person who accepts me as is,without ask me to change me,although I always try to mold it after me (I know that does not like), but do that because I love him!

I think, men don't want their affections shown specially when in public. Although of course there are exceptionally showy men of their affection. I admire them for the courage of doing so.
