Women don't appreciate the work that you put into becoming a fully mature man?

[John316C]

It seems like it.

They may like you when you've become it; but don't really care.

I think they only care what they can get NOW.

And why should they care... ?

 

I'm having trouble...

I am growing maturing more than most men because I have experts on it who are mentors, who can really teach me what it means to be a man in a very very deep way with programs which address mens issues and are days long. it deals with psychology, growing up, roles, outer-skills, inner-skills, ... +more

 

At the same time I feel like I am angry that women can't care about the struggles I face to become a real man. I feel like I am still seeking their approval.

 

But wait. If I become this amazing actualized man (from this angry confused hurt little boy)

become a full man and enter a relationship... I guess I can't really trust my S.O.

 

so I trust myself only and she trusts herself only?... ?

[John316C]

or ... I trust myself only? and she trust me? so I am the man the leader and as the strongest I shouldn't fully give my trust to the weaker sex or person because as the leader I should be self reliant... ?

[M30USA]

I can agree with both of you. The Bible says repeatedly that the world is NOT naturally drawn to God or godliness. We must be trained, usually through suffering, to seek that path.
