There’s a difference between having lots of guys being interested in spending the night, versus being interested in marriage, or even a long-term relationship.
Social media is a big factor in current female dysfunction. Women get the impression that they have plenty of choices, when the reality is that most of those men do not regard her as “Miss Right”, but merely “Miss Good Enough for Tonight”, or even “Miss Backup Plan If My Main Woman Is Not Available Tonight”.
If the ladies would just frickin’ TELL THE TRUTH about what they want in a man, then more men would be hitting the gym and brushing up on their assertiveness skills.
But I guess it’s just another s*** test for these ladies to say what they say.
Well I think, like men, women have a general idea about the type of man they’d find interesting. A Alpha-type man can retain his alpha-ness yet be polite and caring toward a woman.....
In my mid-70s, I am not naive to these things.
I am just an older friend of hers (a mentor, if you will) who she looks to for advice from time to time. She's smart. She's pretty. She's capable. But she just has had bad judgement and/or bad luck in picking marriage partners. She thought marrying a pastor was a safe bet but he turned out to be a dud too.
She's not getting married again anytime soon because she is supporting herself with no problem. She's not looking for a one-time affair. She will take her time this time to make sure she finds a solid guy. This is what she confides to me.
But she may never get there. I've told her she may never get married again and that is okay. She accepts that.
Thanks for your advice.
Sorry if I came across as a know-it-all. I’m an old fart too. I didn’t assume YOU didn’t know, I was targeting my remark to the other people who might read the thread.
Women who are attracted to the abusive/dangerous/sociopathic men ultimately get what they deserve. I’ve seen this story play out too often. No, ladies, you cannot “fix”him (or the majority of any men for that matter).
Thanks for responding. Merry Christmas.
You assume that most women even know what they want.
But, personally, I think the female chatter about wanting "sensitive" men is just to condition the "beta" males to be pushovers for the women. In other words, I'm thinking that women want either strong, assertive men who make them tingle, or walking wallets who will serve them, but nothing in between.
Some women get addicted to the "adrenaline rush" of living with explosive men. They crave the excitement. Those women should be treated like addicts: stay away from them until they get serious treatment.
Most especially, decent men should NOT get involved with them -- she will use any "beta" males in her life for support, and then betray him when she finds someone "exciting" to have a fling with.
I don’t know. She is not, not guilty. But she is not guilty, guilty either. Kind of a hung jury for me on this one.
Yea, I'm not all that sure about this one. On the Universal Hot Crazy Matrix, she is way more crazy than hot.
Sheesh, there ARE strong assertive men who are “in between.” My boss is such a man. So was my previous boss. My cousin also married one, who describes himself as an alpha male, except in his own house. :-)
I perfer my porn with out the sounds of the gardners outside
If he's a "strong assertive man", then he's not "in between". There might be men who are more alpha than him, but he's in alpha-male territory.
