Iast night I got involved in a long discussion with some old friends, mostly male, and I was shocked to hear their comments about a mutual friend who recently broke up with his partner.
To cut it short, he left her for a fairly insignificant girl, less attractive, less educated, less humorous, less matey, less everything, at least in my eyes. All the guys seemed to suggest that his new gf is more feminine, by which they meant more submissive, and that he finally feels "like a man", apparently because his new gf treats him like god. All the girls, myself included, were flabbergasted.
We are talking successful, well-travelled men in their mid-30s, who you would expect to treat women as equal, instead they were saying things that not even my father would dare to say.
What do you make of it?
When it comes to serious relationships, possibly cohabitation, would you go for an independent woman or someone who needs protection and feels inferior?
Do you expect your partner to be a mate, besides being a lover, or someone that stays at home while you go out with your friends?
a balance must be strike between independence and needy from a woman.
woman who r too independent will make a man feels he's not as wanted. he'll feel that with or without him around would not make a difference in that woman's life.
woman who r too needy will suffocate a man.
woman likes to be with a confident man. and the right woman will help him exhuberates the confidence.
