After blaming his former partner (a classic reflex!), he embarked on questioning and personal research without preconceptions. The first truly relevant elements of an answer appeared to him when he researched how the transmission of how to be a man took place between adults and young people in older times. He ultimately discovered that this explained why women today complain about not meeting \u201creal men\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #ff0000; box-shadow: none; color: white; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px; display: inline-block; margin: 20px 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MKBMrz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Order on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Women like leadership<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By constantly trying not to be \u201ccontrolling\u201d, men have become nice guys, devoid of leadership and decision-making ability. The author, who has had conversations with many women, asserts that they like being alongside men who make decisions, much like this businesswoman who confided in him: \u00abI might be a boss at work, but when I am with a man, I want to feel like a woman, I want him to take charge.\u00bb\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women aren't attracted to men who don't even know which caf\u00e9 to suggest for a date, nor which table to sit at once they arrive. In the name of kindness and equality, they fail to project the image of people capable of facing life. If you don't know how to choose a table, how are you going to be able to make important decisions in life?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Women like men who have a plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the accounts he received, women prefer men who have a plan and show themselves capable of taking charge. <em>\u201cI've made a reservation at this restaurant, and after that we're going to see a show. I've bought two tickets for it. I'm picking you up at 6 pm, be ready.\u201d<\/em> Here is the gist of what they like to hear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to assert your leadership, forget the <em>\u201cWhat do you want to do?\u201d<\/em>, <em>\u201cWhat time shall I pick you up?.<\/em> By doing this, you show your ability to make decisions, and therefore to take responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Modern society no longer prepares you to be a man<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tendency of men to shirk responsibility, which reflects the current era, was not true in the past. A shortcut would be to blame the feminists and accuse them of turning men into obedient lapdogs, but in reality it is rather a problem of transmission. Or the absence of transmission. At the present time, many men have grown up in fatherless families, due to divorces and single mothers. At school, they have often had teachers who were women, and they have grown up without a strong male role model. Male mentoring has been lost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The claim that women are looking for \u201cnew-age\u201d, sensitive and soft men has been propagated by the media. Men who behave in this way fit the bill to become women's friends, but not to provide the masculine presence they aspire to have by their side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #ff0000; box-shadow: none; color: white; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px; display: inline-block; margin: 20px 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MKBMrz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Commander <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being The Strong Man a Woman Wants<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to appear as a strong man<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The author mentions several mistakes not to make in order to appear like a strong man. Here are the 4 main ones:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>To systematically object:<\/strong> The mistake in trying to assert one's leadership would be to systematically oppose the decisions made by one's partner, as this will create conflict and misunderstanding. Especially if this change in attitude is sudden. He recommends, on the contrary, finding problems that still need to be sorted out, things to do that have dragged on, and dealing with them. By moving forward, by finding and implementing solutions, a man regains leadership within the couple.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Not deciding:<\/strong> If you think that by being nice, sensitive and leaving all the decisions to your wife you are fulfilling her, you are mistaken. In reality, she is probably very frustrated by it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Playing the victim<\/strong> This is also an attitude to avoid at all costs. Some men hope to gain compassion by playing the victim of their previous relationships. This is a miserable and off-putting attitude for women, as it indicates that they are incapable of taking responsibility.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Being a wonderful husband:<\/strong> Many men tell themselves\u00a0 <em>\u201cI\u2019m a wonderful husband, I do the washing-up, I take out the bins, I mow the lawn, I change nappies, I give the children a bath.\u201d<\/em> It is undoubtedly great, but it is also taking on the role of the nanny. Being present in the face of difficult situations, and knowing how to handle them, that is what is expected of men. And it is in this way that it is truly possible to make a woman happy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #ff0000; box-shadow: none; color: white; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px; display: inline-block; margin: 20px 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MKBMrz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Order on Amazon \ud83d\udd53 Free delivery<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What women look for in a man: lessons from the past<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A parallel can be drawn with education. The author got this idea from the book by <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3AJxr54\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr Benjamin Spock\u201c<\/a><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to care for and raise your child\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">published in 1946, and having sold over 50 million copies. A parent must not be their child's friend, they must be their father or mother. A child has many friends, but only one father. It is the same for a husband. A woman also has friends, but only one husband.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is in reference to\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/adopt-the-conduct-of-a-1930s-gentleman\/\">attitudes of men in the past<\/a> that the author has chosen to write a narrative story, in the form of a grandfather teaching the principles of masculinity to his grandson. He chose the grandfather rather than the father to show just how deeply the role of the man has been anchored in society for hundreds of years. Being the head of the household is a heritage, a responsibility. This does not mean that it should not be shared, but women want to feel this sense of responsibility in men, and it is for this reason that, in today's society, they often complain about the lack of quality men.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is based on an interview given by Elliot Katz, the author of the book Being The Strong Man a Woman Wants.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3427,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-developpement-personnel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3426"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3433,"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3426\/revisions\/3433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defi30jours.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3426"}],"curies":[{"name":"well played","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
