    It’s always been SO difficult for me to ask for help of any kind so I could totally see men never feeling needed with me. However, I once had a man accuse me of being “needy” which only reaffirms a woman’s desire to retreat inside herself & remain independent. I think I do want a relationship, but it feels exhausting navigating it all.

      For any intelligent and wise man, no matter how severe their depression and how much torture they went through when they were young and how much they were rejected by their parents and no matter how much they suffered in the hands of their criminal bosses, some men were created to be saints. Some men were created to be celibate. Celibacy is their test in the world. Because they're sensitive and emotional and because they are dependent on people and human emotions of feelings of love and loyalty, celibacy is their test and celibacy is their answer. Celibacy is their blessing and celibacy they think is their curse. And whenever an intelligent and wise man goes into a relationship and seeks love and happiness in this world from a woman, he ends up suffering so much through other reasons that he ends up emotionally and mentally breaking down and becoming depressed and dependent upon a man emotionally physically and eventually sexually.
      And many of them end up falling in love with younger boys after sexually being involved with an intelligent and emotional man who feels dishonoured and humiliated by the sexually serving their boyfriends and husbands.
      The answer is very simple. Celibacy...
      Purity. Piety. Chastity.
      Although for a person who is mentally and emotionally depressed and spends all his life crying weeping and wailing and being sad, the greatest nightmare of that person is to be single and chaste. But if they could suffer that pain of celibacy for 3 to 5 years, then they would find such happiness and such fulfilment in their lives and they would never ever have to go through the long part of seeking sexual pleasure from a woman and then falling in love with a man and then becoming a criminal to keep that man and then becoming a murderer and a monster and a weak person who is dependent on another person's love and has to destroy the universe and every religion and every law just to justify themselves and they're sick sexual sexuality.Although celibacy and Chastity is a word of fear and terror to men. These two words hold every honour, every friendship, every happiness, every power, every fulfilment, health happiness honour respect true friendships ultimate happiness and ultimate success in this world and the next for every single emotional and intelligent man.

    Is it really true about the social status though? Men might not care about a women’s career but they probably do care about what others think of her. Men care about their own status so they most likely also care about how a women’s status will influence his status

    • @mtngrl5859

      Look at professionals, typically Doctors either got married in college & built their life together. Or they got married once they were doctors & married others in a similar professional career path. I have clients where the female physician married at the age of 34 to a 28-year old Engineer. They have 4 children together, the last born when she was 43, they are both highly intelligent & high income earners.
      I've been selling higher end residential real estate for the past 30 years. In all this time, I've only had a couple of clients who didn't marry comparably educated partners. Yes, most men weren't looking for their wives to bring in substantial funds, but its about them "fitting in" to their social sphere. If a man is entertaining business associates & his wife isn't appropriate & can't add to the conversation, she is a liability.
      In the past, most people got married straight out of college. They met their future mate there, so by the ages of 22-24, people were getting married. So, it was a given one would marry someone they met there. That's why the old joke was girls went to college to get their MRS degree.

      But was that because he cared about the money or being able to present you as a top xyz. Or because being raised in “higher class” social circles leads to an understanding of how to present yourself. A woman is a reflection of who a man is. He simply cannot have his wife embarrassing him. So if he is in those social groups and parties, it would be in “his best interest” to get a woman who has already experienced that or is easily trained to be seamlessly bought into that life

  • @HeavenlyWaltz
    @HeavenlyWaltz Před 2 měsíci +19

    Sometimes if you just don’t find the right one, just leave. For example, praising men sincerely for being a hero or make him feel needed is a good way for connecting, but doing it to the wrong person, it just boosts his ego and leads him to being a narcissist. Another issue is, being with a fake or wrong hero, if a woman tries to talk things through to build connection, as narcissistic as the guy is, he will think the woman is needy or immature. Not every man is right for you. When a man is not being a man, just leave. Just be a woman who creates connection with the one that seems right.

It is a spiritual journey so if two people don't walk in agreement according to the word, walk away as it will be less painful and no attachments..it's all about surrender to Christ and serving our partner .period.

    Unfortunately, social and financial status mattered to my now ex-boyfriend and to my sister's ex-boyfriend. I also observed it when I lived in England.

      Dear Mendez,
      I fully agree that vulnerability is the key to emotional growth and meaningful connections with others. Thanks for mentioning vulnerability. It's a beautiful state of being. My point is, needing to feel like a hero, is another form of validation seeking. These ideas are not celebrating the courage and independence that women aquire. When they get into toxic relationships, they suddenly need to muster exactly these to step out.
      Also, it is a fine line that separates protective behavior from men and reinforcing patriarchal gender norms. Several societies are still struggling with patriarchy because of misplaced ideas of masculinity.

I'm a born loner so, those from age 18 until a year before my return to Alaska, they wouldn't except friendship/time to get to know each other better, first. Knowing it was over, I'd wait for when they were ready to end the relationships. And yes, they knew about the Holdout.

      Similarly, I’ve always thought I needed to be farther in my career before a marriageable man even looked in my direction. I thought a man would say, “Oh. You’re still in THAT position and haven’t moved up the ladder? I always thought that was a huge turn off for guys. Additionally, in the times when I wasn’t as far up the corporate ladder as I’ve liked, I’d always put myself down (rejecting myself before others reject me). Often, it’s the people I want to be pursued by who are the ones I’ll put down my shortcomings to. Like, one friend and romantic interest pointed out that I had a different hairstyle one day. It wasn’t in a bad way, and it’s understandable he said something because the change was so drastic. I couldn’t even look him in the eye when I fumbled my way through how earlier that year I became sick and lost my hair. He said he didn’t know, and I told him how I hid it from everyone. (I wore scarves on my head for a while). I hated my hair length at the time, and figured men did, too. Now I see one reason why he didn’t pursue me romantically was because I wasn’t alluring in that I wasn’t smiling and was hiding. 🤦🏽‍♀️

      @tek3freak, I don’t have any debt except for medical bills that keep compiling because the doctors need to run more tests. I can definitely pay them off, but medical bills are one of the biggest reasons why it’s hard for me to save extra money. I am by no means near any kind financial collapse, though. My deductible starts over in September, and I’ve already met it this year with plenty more bills to come (It’s 80/20 after the deductible). Anyway, I thought for sure the corporate ladder was a thing. Like, I know not all men want the woman C.E.O., but I also thought they didn’t want say, a secretary, either. Now that I’m typing this, I see how ironic that statement really is.

    This perfectly describes why my last relationship failed, but at the same time I don't think I could have done anything much different to change the outcome except maybe offer more verbal praise in general and stop offering to help him with things alltogether? 🤷‍♀️
    He was trying to do things for me and it wasn't working because everything he tried missed the mark a bit and I ended up being put in the position to turn down his efforts or tell him something didn't work. Not that I was critical or anything, his efforts just weren't working out for one reason or another. It wasn't anybody's fault, he just wasn't focusing on what was actually needed at that particular point in time. I hated being put in that position
    On the flip side when I needed something easy, like comfort after a really hard day, he wasn't interested in being there for me. He only wanted to help or be a hero when it was convenient for him, not necessarily in regards to what I actually needed
    I've never been put in that position in a relationship before so it sucked... especially since I really loved him and pictured a future with him

      It may have been about incompatibility then. If you’re in sync with each other as a couple, you both know what the other needs and can be there for each other but also step back when needed. Maybe he felt that nothing he did was ever good enough, not based on your words but possibly because it didn’t seem to work out fine. Man or woman, that could leave someone feeling insecure about themselves.

I've never dated someone avoidant before and I was super confused because it didn't make sense why our relationship wasn't working. We have tons in common, enjoy so many of the same things, and had great chemistry. Plus we'd been friends for 4 years before we dated and had lots of fun and would laugh together a lot. It was very easy when we were just friends. He was the one that pursued me but things changed once we got romantic. He was very insecure and got into his own head. He basically sabotaged the relationship and then ran away
      The giving stuff I described above was small stuff, like he bought me some boots and they were a size too small so they didn't fit. I still thanked him for the gesture but I'm not sure what else I can do if they don't fit.

      A sexual relationship is very important in most marriages. Not all partnerships are sexually compatible. It doesn’t make sense to wait until after marriage to find out that you’re sexually incompatible. Sex is also a normal part of adulthood. Christian religions have turned sex into a sinful act. It’s not. “Sin” only occurs when you act selfishly. You don’t need to be legally married to share deep and giving love together.

So all thos nonesense on how religion makes sex as a negative is what people seem to always misconstrue.I don't know about you but I don't wanna be test driven like a car before I settle down with the right man.

      Virginity as an adult isn’t important; people don’t lose their value after they become sexually active. Marriage is not a guarantee for love or even safety against disease-plenty of married people have contracted STIs from their cheating spouses.
      As for soul ties, we have plenty of those that are nonsexual with family members and friends, and they cause us trauma too.
      Condoms offer great protection against STIs, but I’m also not encouraging people to use sex as a recreational sport. As someone who’s been married, I can say with confidence that waiting until after marriage doesn’t guarantee a happy, sexually compatible, nor necessarily healthy sex life.

I am not talking about marrying a model or 30 years old hunk, I am talking of choosing a partner that you really want and desire as a man, even if he is in his 40s or 50s. When you get from your partner emotional support, love and respect, physical attraction is not less of importance. It's vital for a marriage to work properly. After 14 years I still look at my husband and think , hmmm, how handsome. Love when he dress well and other people look at him/us together. I can tell that even when he is mad at me, he tells me that I look good...jejeje. So yes, looks matters!

    I'm sorry Mr. Mendez, but I think people are just too varied to be put in a generalized category like this.. Everyone is different and individual and will find different things cute or admirable with regards to the opposite sex. That is IF they are even into the opposite/complementary sex/gender! This I realized after dating and trying to find "the one" since I was 25 and here I am pushing 40 in two weeks and I am single again. The last guy I was with broke it off with me last year in August after being with me for six long months. It took me a long time to get over the rejection, but it wasn't easy. I really thought he was my "one" because I was already 39 and I could have sworn he was also falling for me, but maybe now looking back, maybe I was just desperately delusional. It didn't help that I was very sexually attracted to him! This White Irish man (overweight and lived with his parents at also 39 turning 40), but I thought all that didn't matter because I thought our relationship could have inspired him to improve things!.. 😞 I really wanted to finally be a wife and mother but I guess it wasn't in the cards?
    Edit: Oh nevermind, you said there were exceptions.. man, I wish mine wasn't the exception!
    Also I realized after that experience that maybe it isn't the be all, end all, to have the title of wife and mother like a lot of women have dreamed of being or that is their goal. Maybe it's better to just focus on career, at least my career won't let me down! It will even PAY me if I put good, hard work in it!

    Oh, I need him. That's for sure. But guys don't tend to feel like taking care of someONE with an organic BRAIN injury/condition after abuse in a previous relationship. I have my moments, though, and I am getting better over the yrs.

    So what happens when a man thinks your too needy? I can appreciate what you are saying but we are all individuals with individual needs!!

    I look for safety ❤ yes I don't see statues important to me as a woman but more of how I can be at service to this world.

    What does 'a chip on your shoulder' mean?

      you have a long lingering anger on something you just have not been able to
      let go of. You carry a form of resentment all the time but can't chip away at it.

      Resentment is inability to let go of a hurt.

    I found out by being myself men surround me but women hate me. I just am myself anyway. I don't steal men.

    You should add this applies to good google quality men. And most boa eats are far from that ! I learned hard way that hoping men to grow up is never happening . Once he is a boy not a men he will never grow up. Irresponsible , lazy, addicts - that’s what I see in most men. Nice good men is hard to find. I have a lot to give, always was a wife material. But I will not settle with a lazy men who exploits me ! I don’t want to be sauced of being Feminist, or strong woman who doesn’t need men. I do but I have to live some way and while being alone I have to be able to fix my drawer and be able to pump gas into my car. I can’t sit on a curb and wait till someone saves me . I want someone I admire and can be proud of ! I miss meeting someone valuable

    I just ended it with a guy who was in his feminine energy and would pull me out of my feminine energy. I hated that! Never again I will date a man that needs constant praise for his looks but lacks in every thing else. I couldn’t admire him as much as I tried!

    yes, the worm has to be liked by the fish and not the fisherman. 😅

    This is wise. On the other hand I, who want to be liked for my brain (and my cooking), feel awful when men just don't care about what I value in myself. I want to be sincere and it seems I would benefit more if I pretended to be a stupid doll, telling a guy he is so awesome :( I kind of lose respect for men who choose not so intelligent women with modified bodies. If they consider me and an empty doll... It's so humiliating! To feel alive... but with just anyone?

    Now that women dont need men because they arent property men are having a tough time with being a partner that is actually wanted and can add something more valuable to a woman’s life than she can herself.
