All men reading this post. When a woman says no or shows disinterest, then for your own sake, cease and desist immediately. Even if your intentions are pure, they may be misconstrued as stalking or even worse. Don't play cat and mouse chase games. Relationships are not a game to be played. If you detect a woman is playing games and intentionally giving inconsistent signals, leave her alone 👌🏾
Some thoughts: Yes I agree with the first line of this. And a man who leads the home. But aggressive (even in quotations) and relentless are going to be problematic for many. No means no in any situation. And strength isn't just physical. Strong men show their emotions, they build a safe environment for the woman to show hers. Men, too, can be nurturing, loving, and cooperative. It's a two way thing. Finally, what I want in a man most is someone who loves Jesus, even more than he'll love me.
@Lachlan And as I am a woman I know what a woman needs - she might not know or admit it but it is true. And I know plenty of women and have had billions of conversations and speeches I know that EVERY Woman needs those traits in a man to feel safe and secure. FYI I am no longer going to engage in this conversation. God bless.
@Lachlan I wonder what you read. I said men are naturally competitive beings. Not with women but men.
It’s obvious that most have not been able to read between the lines and I intentionally put aggressive in quotation marks! This post was written not to create a discussion but to inspire men and women to pursue traditional god given roles. Anyway mic 🎤 drop!
Only if it's mutual of course, do not be trying to pursue a woman if it's not mutual interest 😅, cuz we might call that stalking or lack of respect for boundaries. When a woman says no, it means NO. Just for clarities sake there.
@Natalie Olivia Doh! Of course it should be mutual. 😅 Boundaries are key.
@Patrizia Yes 😂
Hmm...not sure that's what every woman needs. I can agree with someone able to pursue and lead. But competitive and "aggressive" in pursuit...perhaps not.
AGREED! A real partner is not in competition, but they're looking to be a teammate. Aggressive, no! Persistent and consistent with mutual respect and interest, YES.
@Angela 🙄so you mean to tell me you don’t want a man that is mature, decisive, consistent and strong? I know any woman appreciates those traits in a man. Men are naturally competitive beings! That is obviously more more towards other men. Again aggressive is in quotation marks for a reason - as in persistent.
@Patrizia not everybody is the same, so it's not accurate to say 'every' woman needs this this or that. Why does any woman need a man who is competitive for example?
@Lachlan Agreed! 😊
@Lachlan That’s exactly what I meant. I agree with you.
Lol it's completely different
@Florent No it isn’t. You seem to enjoy being argumentative. I don’t so please let’s leave it here.
@Patrizia I enjoy semantics yes that's how I can spot the differences
Nobody should be "aggressive and relentless" in pursuing someone. If a woman tells me no, that means no. And we're grown adults, none of us should be playing games of pretending to not be interested in the hopes that the other person will "chase" us. Nor should we make it difficult for each other. So whilst I agree with some of this, and I agree that romantic pursuit is desirable, it should be a mature and decisive as you ask for.
@Florent Not sure where you read leisure or selfish satisfaction?! Yes, that’s the problem men and women need to return to their traditional roles!!!!
@Patrizia yes but you forgot women and the present situation in your initial post
@Florent Nope I didn’t forget women. I said I will be a traditional woman too! And listed what she needs to be. And of course we both have to do the needed work. God bless.
@Patrizia "you" and "women" aren't the same concept I hope.
Mothers stopped raising this kind of men 30 years ago. Now the right question isn't what men should be but what each of us can be to the opposite sex. It's not about leisure or selfish satisfaction. We need each other.
It only takes a man reading God's word, seeking God with his whole heart, and God will raise Him up to be a real man. It doesn't matter who raised you, or what culture is doing, if you want God, like the good Father He is, He will show up and He will raise up godly men and women. There is no excuse for Christian's to remain worldly and unchanged. We are meant to be different. God bless! 😊 And no, I can't say I agree fully on this post, just sharing the truth.
