Well said. I think women respect men who don’t allow women (or anyone) to walk all over them. It’s almost as though they resent men who are passive and allow them to act like spoiled children. I remember my grandfather putting up with a somewhat entitled woman, but he did so without yelling and always seeming like he didn’t get rattled. I think that’s important as well.

Absolutely.

Women are attracted to strong men and don't respect men who aren't. (whether they admit it or not)
