Guys, Standards and the Abundance Mentality


Recommended Posts

To OP, I find liking a woman starts simple. Is she good company? Is she attractive? These are the first steps into a relationship not the whole relationship. As things progress I want to know if we share the same values, interests, hobbies, if we have similar goals in life ect. Just starting I want to know we get along well after that it gets more complicated. I don't have so many standards when getting to know someone.

Lately I've been coming across more and more dating advice articles, written by men to advise women. A common theme I've seen in these articles is the idea that women have tons of standards and a long list, where as guys have hardly any. To quote:

 

  • Does he find you attractive?
  • Do you make him feel good?

 

My perspective is these two simple statements are simple building blocks that are expandable to mean several things.

 

First, does he find me attractive. One is physical attraction, which is a given. Another component of attraction is if a woman is smart (or smart enough to hold a conversation), independent, has goals, values, emotionally and psychologically stable. Is the woman caring, kind, understanding, patient, affectionate, etc. The list can be expanded almost endlessly, but basically, is she attractive beyond physically?

 

Second, do you make him feel good. Aside from the apparent sexual connotation, this is also expands to several components. Such as if the woman is affectionate, attentive, caring, communicates, respects, appreciates him, supportive, etc. Obviously some of these qualities crossover from the attraction part above. But the attraction would be the principles, while how good a woman makes a man feel would be the practical application of those principles.

There are few who can match my level of cynicism and negativity. You should consider that an accomplishment. :)

 

You should stop reading advice articles designed to get you to read and then talk about it, causing more traffic to those sites. That's the whole point of the articles: not to give advice, but to get publicity and traffic.

 

Kinda like this site? LOL
