    1. A quiet man uses his presence as a way of pursuing a woman.
    2. A quiet man uses serving as a way of pursuing a woman.
    3. A quiet man uses strong language once he decides to express himself.

  • @wellbeingwithwendysmith6651

    This is true. My partner and I are both quiet and considerate so neither of us wanted to do anything to make either feel uncomfortable. We worked together but I left, hoping he would pursue me. He was going to ask me out and, as it turns out, we’re a couple now. A Christmas miracle happened for us. Our coming together is simply miraculous and unexpected in our mutual attraction to who each other is. He’s gentle, loving and committed. A true, traditional gentleman.

    There's another kind of quiet guy that actually will become quite expressive, once they're ready to open up.
    They're quite deep, which is why they seem so reserved in large social settings where conversations tend to be surface and mundane: things they have little interest in.
    But if they find you interesting and once they feel comfortable and trust you, they become quite expressive snd even talkative and value deep emptional connection. Things at least women in the past tended to value.
    So not only will they be able to have the deep sincere passionate and emotional connections with their woman, they aren't players. They are very choosy about who they ooen up to, making the woman feel more valued and exclusive.
    The challenge for the woman is finding those hidden diamonds as they aren't the showboats.

    • @vivaeuropa
      @vivaeuropa Před 6 měsíci +4

      This sums me up pretty well. I noticed I'll attract girls when they see me talking about things I'm passionate about, like traveling, learning languages, where I want to live, and what I want to do in the future. Then they'll approach me like you'd do to an expressive guy but I still need them to be inviting like you'd invite a quiet guy; so their pushy aggressive flirting makes me pull back and get cold as I feel emotionally disconnected and it results in me avoiding the girl. This was when I wasn't saved, but now that I'm saved, I haven't really gotten out of my bubble of two church friends, so I haven't interacted much with Godly women ever. Still only have worldy women at work interested in me.

    THIS RIGHT HERE! I'm an introvert with the "gift" of quality time. It's SO hard to find guys who want to slow down, spend time, and enjoy a deep (or light) conversation with me. I've only had two guy friends in my lifetime who had this gift, and they were awesome! I'm an older, never married single (no kids--my preference), who is still praying for my Boaz. Also, I'd like to thank my parents (married 58 years) for explaining and demonstrating God's way of biblical marriage to their kids. Mark, keep up the good work!

      " and enjoy a deep (or light) conversation with me " Tina, I think he's talking about YOU picking up the slack for the relational connection, because this kind of man can't even start a conversation, much less maintain a 'deep ongoing dialogue'. He's talking about having a life with a man that looks to his wife to fill this "verbal short-coming".

    All the points Mark said makes sense. If a quiet guy pursues a woman, the woman might empower and strengthen his verbal shortcomings. However, I will add that if he pursues a woman quietly and slowly builds trust with the woman, eventually he can be a little bit more expressive and will be able to talk way later because again, he trusts her. That's what I believe.

    Thank you for this! This is my fiance almost to a T. It really caught my attention because he didn't say all of these flowery things and was so reserved. I struggled with this at first, but have come to appreciate this about him. It distinguishes him from any other man I've been in a relationship with. My love languages are quality time and words of encouragement. He may not talk all the time, but when he does, he knows me well enough to say just what I need to hear even if it's not what I want to hear at that moment. And shocker...he has a clever sense of humor. You wouldn't expect it with him being so quiet, but he can say something and leave me speechless or have me busting out laughing.
    Ladies, don't discount these guys! They can and will treat you like a queen if you're patient with them and acknowledge their efforts to pursue you their way.

Maybe not all introverts; but I have often found this to be the case. Still waters run deep and these are often people who have a very keen perception and insight into people and how they tick. Like an iceberg, there is so much more going on under the surface. Thanks for this video Mark.

    As a quiet guy myself, everything you said was spot on. What women need to understand is that number 3 is the biggest point. Me personally, every time I would say something to a woman, I would always come across as too strong or they wouldn't feel the same and would end up walking away. Every experience like that makes me wait longer and unsure if I should say something for fear I would get the same result. If you have a quiet man around you that is doing these things and you have feelings for him, give him a nudge. Offer to study together. Suggest getting lunch together. If you don't mind being blunt about it, tell him you enjoy spending time with him. We do NOT pick up on signs or signals very well, so the more obvious you make it, the better.

My issue is I feel like unless he’s talking about something he’s passionate about, mostly work, I have to drive the conversation. Doing this makes me feel like I’m stepping out of my feminine.

I came to a point where I became tired of speculating if the feelings were mutual from her side and I wanted to know so I decided to tell her straight up how I felt about her and inviting her on a date. I had never done that before. But it was too much too soon and the feelings were not mutual, but then I found out.

    I love your videos and they have been a huge help to me in adjusting my understanding of how to respond to pursuit from a Godly man. But this one was exactly what I needed. God keeps telling me he is pursuing me, but it doesn't look like I expected and that has made me second guess what is happening. What it does look like is exactly this, as you've described in this video. So it is a beautiful confirmation. And for the record, so, so many women do not understand the things you've described here.

    As I watch this video, I am finding and appreciating a certain irony for myself: I am a broadcaster, musician, actor, public speaker. But I’m actually a quiet man at heart. I have no problems, expressing myself in many different ways, but I also identify with all of the traits that a quiet man has. It’s equally awesome and frustrating at the same time.

    I ran across this video and it brought to mind some painful memories for me that I thought I had healed from. I dated a quiet man, and you described him precisely. There were many things I didn't understand that I wish I had not taken for granted. I felt insecure because I talk a lot, but he told me, "I like to listen." Long story short, there were some major insecurities he had, combined with the fact that I still had some growing to do, that led him to end the relationship, run away from God, and make a lot of really unhealthy and destructive decisions. I've learned to let it go - someone has to choose to change on their own, God still has plans for me, but this just made me a little sad.

    This is a good and needed video for helping women to understand quiet guys. Often it seems off putting to just throw stuff out there, and I agree completely with not wanting to hog/ fight for air time.
    It's really good to let people know there are other ways of communicating, and that just because you may have difficulty or not prefer to express yourself verbally, that it's still possible to make your intentions known, and there's nothing inherently wrong with the way your built, but it shows how we can all work to compliment one another.

    A man will be up front. He’ll listen to what you like and make a plan.
    You like theater? He has tickets and offers you supper before the show.
    You like music? How about a concert together?
    Spanish Dancing? He just happened to hear about a new salsa hangout but he needs a guide to show him some moves. Or asks if you know any Zumba gyms nearby.
    Pickle ball? He’s thinking of joining the local club. Got any tips to impress them?
    Guys, man up. You got this. She might love you and just not know it yet. Give her the chance to get to know your inner provider and protector.
    Not because you want a gold digger - but because real life, a family, a partner, has costs: rent, lights, food, the vacations she’ll want to take with you so you can both blow off steam or destress. And to pretend those aren’t important or don’t exist is naive at best, if not immature. There are realities. If you might want her to bear your children someday, show her you’re capable, willing, and eager to take the responsibility of providing so she can help raise them for at least 5 years until they start school. Each one. Do the math. If you have 2-3+ kids a couple years apart, she might be out of work for almost a decade - but that’s to invest in the best for your family, and you’re worth it. You find a partner who’s so worth that you don’t want to imagine a life without her guiding it.
    Men will make a plan and make their intentions known: to get you in their future at least for a date to get to know you better. He’ll be polite but straightforward.
    If you see a man returning to your circle a few times, you might be his target of affection. Give him a signal if you want to know more.
    Smile, open up. Ask about him. Find ways to relate with him. Touch his arm or shoulder and see how he reacts. Does it comfort him? Fill him with pride? Do you see him puff up?
    Throw him a bone, Lady. The best guys aren’t always obnoxiously “out there”. Take that as a good thing.

    Hi Mark,
    Just want to drop a message here to say ' Thank you ' for putting this explanation out here, explaining how a quiet guy tends to behave towards their relationship or dating process. It may not be much, but those pointers mentioned really match the majority of how quiet guys put in efforts to create or manage their relationship. As an introvert, speaking to a fellow stranger and hanging around after church service is already a daunting task, let alone finding someone who truly understands how you felt and how much you are trying to maintain or please them. Also, this message here is to thank the majority out there who are also struggling as much as I do. Don't give up and continue to be you and improve accordingly (I'm not gaslight here but truly wishing you to have a blessed partner in the coming future).
    Happy 2023 and New Year to all!
