- Why should you make him feel like a god? Real men don’t go looking for recognition
Fellas let us get one thing clear; a strong, confident man doesn’t need any kind of ego stroking. Personally, I find the whole concept of stroking a man’s ego a tad ridiculous.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t go around purposely emasculating the men in my life, but I refuse to bend over backwards to stroke your precious male ego.
First of all, what are men doing on Instagram, Snapchat and such like girly social media platforms?
There are too many articles on the Internet advising women to mindlessly stroke the egos of the men in their lives if they want a strong and healthy relationship. Men who need their egos constantly stroked are ‘emotional infants’ that all women should steer clear off.
I once dated one of these ‘emotional infants’ and, boy, was it exhausting! He wanted me to treat him like a king.
He actively solicited for compliments and praise from me and would be put out if I failed to mention how manly and wonderful he was every day.
He wanted to be my big protector and I felt like I was playing a role of damsel in distress looking up to him to take care of everything in my life.
Male bloggers will tell you this is okay and that a man needs it, but I beg to differ. If you think deep about it, this is textbook narcissism.
A man who is a junkie for praise doesn’t care about anyone other than himself. A man should feel self-assured without having a woman there to pump up his ego.
More often than not, the men who need their egos stroked are the same ones who want to only date women who are chronically adoring, relentlessly agreeable, and handy in the kitchen. They recoil at the very thought of a strong, independent woman.
He will feel threatened by a woman who earns more than him. This kind of man believes he is never wrong and can’t stand being corrected by a woman.
He will never make an apology even when he knows he has made a mistake because he believes he is an alpha male.
It is sad that women are being told that they can’t even tell their men what makes them happy in bed because telling him you are not satisfied is emasculating him.
Whether his bedroom skills are wanting or not, you should tell him he is a beast in bed and should never let him think otherwise.
They will tell you that correcting your man even when he is clearly in the wrong should be avoided because it is emasculating.
You should make him feel like a god by supporting him and showing him love even when he gets things wrong.
It is a sad state of affairs when women can’t express their dissatisfaction and frustration with their significant other out of fear of emasculating them.
When a woman points out something a man has done that is displeasing, she is labelled a nag and men don’t like nags.
Real men don’t go looking for recognition. He knows he is not perfect and will make amends when he feels he has fallen short somewhere.
A real man always wants to please his woman sexually, so he is open to suggestions as to how he can improve his love making.
A woman will hold you in the highest regard only if you don’t feel the need to demand that she does so.
