It seems that nowadays women completely confuse men. This is because women want way too much from them. Go figure. The ideal man is reliable, sweet, tender, absolutely not boring, earns well, looks attractive, not arrogant, but being a wimp is not good either. He would prefer to work full-time and also help with the housework. Almost impossible for a man to meet all these requirements.
Women are difficult
Yes, that’s right, women often send conflicting signals. A large part of our choice of partner is biologically determined. For example, when a woman has her period, men should mainly be their best friend, they often don’t really feel comfortable and want to be comforted, when the period is over they prefer to be around tough machos again.
The same applies from an economic point of view. The economy in America is not doing so well, so almost all women work full-time. In the Netherlands, where the economy is improving, most women work part -time. The better the economy, the more women choose the traditional picture.
In addition to the biological and economic motives, your own free will also plays a major role. Much has changed since the second half of the last century with the advent of emancipation. In the past, women were dependent on men. She had no income of her own and was dependent on his income and status.
Nowadays women are often well educated themselves and their choice of partner does not have to depend on that. Where in the past the man was the norm to which the woman had to conform, nowadays female domination is becoming increasingly stronger. This is because women are increasingly playing an important role in society, and there are also more and more women who raise their children alone.
Eternal whining
The fact that the feminine norm now dominates is not only the fault of women, men have also made a major contribution to this. Men have largely had it in their own hands. Because they do not like nagging, they are quickly inclined to accept the situation in order to get rid of the nagging instead of arguing with their wife.
Men and women are very different. Men are often focused on themselves, while folds focus on their relationship. So what women want most is a man who is occasionally as busy with them as the other way around.
It’s a shame that men can’t come up with this themselves. While they can. The first week of a new relationship is also a time for a man to be extremely attentive. But once that honeymoon period is over, there is often only one option for men, to accept that a man will never know what a woman wants unless the woman whispers it to him.
What’s wrong with Mr. Good Enough?
You often hear single women between the ages of thirty and forty say: there are no nice men left. This is of course nonsense. The nice men are still there, but women set far too high standards. Even when women hear their biological clock ticking loud and clear, they do not settle for Mr. good enough, but continue to wait for the prince on a white horse.
