• 5 Reasons Men are Afra...
It seems that men and women have many of the same fears... honestly, I'm tired of fear, rejection, being lonely. I'm not unattractive, I'm warm, friendly, accepting, feminine, and I'm tired of all of this.
Don’t give up on love sister!
Ditto
Nancy to Nancy: you are attractive, you just don’t give it to yourself!! Let you have it… don’t compare yourself to anyone!
Hi Matt - I met a wonderful man 3 months ago. He was vulnerable with last weekend saying softly with elements of fear that he never wants to lose me. The moment was tender and beautiful. He’s slowly opening. As you’ve mentioned in the past to bring the little boy out. He loves hobby toys as do my daughter and I. He drove to Boca to go pick them up 😉. He said he never thought he would find this kind of happiness like he has with me.
Yay! You deserve a great guy :)
As women, we have heard all of this a million times. The reasons why men can't commit... whatever. It is all extremely frustrating. It feels like pettiness sometimes. Or an excuse for bad behavior. I mean...it must all be true, of course because we see it constantly.
The best we can do is only date emotionally available men, because trying to hold onto a guy who is scared of relationship just hurts us :(
@@ProdavackaDivu I’m beginning to doubt those men exist
@@judyperri9496Date young men, they don‘t have a load of baggage. ❤Also they are more respectful and attractive.
@@karadiberlinook I’m 48. Young men are emotionally immature for one. I’m too old for a young man.
1. Fear of rejection and insecurity.
2. We assume you are taken.
3. We are afraid of letting you down.
4. We don’t feel ready for a relationship.
YES! :)
Sounds more roads are blocked than open.

Hello Mat,
Everyone has experienced rejection and pain through broken relationships. Although it can be transformative, it can also weigh very heavy on our hearts. Taking this risk again is something I am not sure I want. Thanks for talking about this sensitive topic❤️
Thanks for sharing! I promise there are good guys out there my dear!
This is enormously helpful. My former partner once told me in a rare moment of vulnerability that while he wanted to spend his life with me, he didn't want to get married for at least two years. I was (rightly) extremely hurt by this, but I see now that I should have invited him to share why, instead of getting defensive and pushing him away even more.
I’m happy this resonated with you
“Rightly hurt” ??? Gee he’s trying to be honest with you and all you think about is your hurt feelings
@@judyperri9496 because my feelings don't matter at all, right?
You don't have to babysit him. Woman have our own feelings to deal with
I have witnessed this for a long time, it's very hard for both people , but someone has to to start ~~allow them to speak their truth!
exactly!!
Understood. In conclusion, this all means the person is not in a position to be in a relationship until HE does his own work. A person can only meet you as deeply as they have met themselves. Nothing you can do, say, no matter if a woman checks all the boxes, if HE is suffering from the reasons you listed, a woman puts herself in a position to taking the lead on emotional labor. It’s just exhausting. I think both people have to be on similar levels in their healing journey.
so sweet thanks for sharing! it's a great connection:)
Dear Men, women are afraid of vulnerability too. Especially from past trauma. It doesn't hurt for you to LEAD her into being vulnerable by asking her questions to things you're curious about.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank-you for sharing this, I am sure it was difficult, but it helps women so much to understand male "approach anxiety". A good man does not want to disappoint, and communication has to be honest and open, but when feelings start to flow, sometimes it is just so hard to be objective.
Thanks so much my dear!
I love this Matt. You share such a compassionate and intelligent male perspective.
Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for making this video Mat and being vulnerable with us! It felt very supportive for me.
You're so welcome!
Thank you mat I met a wonderful guy who has these things you mentioned. I told him last week I fully accept him no matter what process he is in.Thank you for sharing your own experiences.. its precious what you say. I knew these things but I wondered if what my thoughts were is right,
your messages confirms it! 🖤😎
Thanks for sharing!!
I need to heal first, so I don't break apart or anyone else. I need to build a healthy relationship with my energy first, so I can love you correctly 💙💜💓
Interesting perspective, thanks so much!
Mat it all sounds really spot on, valuable info. I began my journey to get in touch with my feminine side during coaching with you. Learned about attachment styles as you coached me through (in real time) my relationship with an FA (fearful avoidant) man. Life changing. Teaching the love languages and attachment styles made it easier to see the love in my life. Not everyone uses words. All you have taught regarding women being the emotional conductor. Men lead in their way, women with the emotions. You're right, it is up to us to create that safe space for a man to open up - especially with how men have been conditioned to suck it up and not show a vulnerable side.
I’m glad to hear everything worked out well.🙏 Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing that from you. ❤️❤️❤️
@@Mat_Shaffer there was so much to assimilate from our coaching. It’s taking me years, but my life has only improved year after year. Ive been happily settled with someone I knew since I was 14 for over a year now. He’s DA. He’s also kind, loving, stable, disciplined and super touchy feely. A man of few words when it comes to feelings but he says it all with touch, quality time and acts of service. Couldn’t have found my way without you!
I loved this video! I feel like I related to both sides of this video, thank you for sharing. I really resonated with "men feel like they have to have it all put together to provide a home and stability" this is literally my current work through after leaving my marriage back in November. Thank you for the gentle reminder that I am enough right now.
I'm so glad!
thank you so much for this Mat. as a woman who wants to be that safe space for men to open up to and who is new to learning how to lead with vulnerability, it is so refreshing to hear from a man how that impacts him, and i know you are referring to good men who want a healthy relationship and want to do right by women. from my perspective as a woman, i will say that doing this deeper vulnerability work, and learning about how i have built walls of self-protection around me from my upbringing and how i have brought that into relationships with men, is one of the hardest and most fulfilling and rewarding work i have ever done. my relationships with men keep on deepening and feeling safer (hopefully for us both) as i deepen and feel safer within in myself. i believe this is the real work for us women to be doing; that we need to start by feeling safe within ourselves to open up and truly lead with vulnerability. thanks again!
Thanks for sharing!
"Feeling safe within ourselves" 👌🏾🧡💜🙌🏾
Being authentic is so important. Bravo! And it helps us women understand more. ✌🏼
I’m so glad this helped you!
I'm dating a scared man right now. He's an incredible human being. We're taking the time to get to know each other and I'm happy to go at a slow pace to build a foundation. It's recently turned towards the romantic. I know he's terrified due to past traumas so I just keep showing him who I am and that he's safe with me. I'm in no rush. This video is helpful.
Thanks for sharing!
How are things going can I ask?
@@mint_soup9743 he got scared and wants to just be friends but we still spend all our time together. Just continuing to build a friendship and trust.
I don't know if it is possible for anyone to create a more perfect video concerning this topic. You've left a Great Gift to society here. Regardless of sexual orientation.
This may be catching you and others off-guard, but your outlook applies to what many gay men have to endure when meeting another guy not fully out and or accepting of themselves. Anymore, the typical representation for Gay men is unappreciative and feminized. It is keeping many gay men 'In the Closet' when there are so few 'regular-guy' role-models.
Thank you.
Thank you for your honest feedback. It’s important to hear different perspectives, and I appreciate you sharing yours.
Thank you Mat for sharing your personal life, it certainly makes things more real & makes me understand what men think & feel. 🙏🏻😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate that 😊
I have a situation where #1 and 3 are true. It’s really frustrating because I can see he puts me on this pedestal but I’m actually way more flawed than him. He’s afraid I will hurt him but I’ve never wanted someone so much
Don’t give up on love sister!
Hi Matt,
I am learning so many valuable things from you! Each video is a treasure that helps me understand men and myself on a deeper level. Thank you so much for your caring, compassionate heart toward relationships and being human ❤️
You are so welcome!
The final step in that Aussie tradition was for me to go and talk to Him which I did the next time we were together. After spending the day observing how I interact with others including my helping his Mum out. I'm a warm, cuddly type of lady. He observed within my hearing "She's nice to everybody, young and old!" That definitely made up for that comment he'd made all of those years earlier. We smiled and exchanged a tender look. A little while later we were exchanging those looks and talking to each other with his family looking on. They seemed happy to see that. I decided that what had happened with those gossiping young men needed to be explained to him. So I enlisted the help of one of their sisters who happens to be a friend of mine to explain it to him. That it was a rumour I hadn't Liked him back then and that I did now, she was happy to oblige. Here comes a seventh comment.
Thanks for sharing!
Women feel the same way. When both the man and woman have the same issues but want to try how are they suppose to work to get past their issues?
I can’t believe that you were ever the 6 months max guy who couldn’t communicate his boundaries! That type of growth is super admirable 😊
Amazing!
We women put ourselves out there after you hurt us time and time again but you get to hurt because someone hurt you once. Come on.
I promise my dear there are still good guys out there!
So much wisdom here, Matt. You've helped me immensely. Thank you from my heart!! ❤
Happy to help!
I've never had trouble attracting guys, basically I just have to be myself. I've picked that up watching your videos. I've been friends with both guys and girls all of my life. I was raised to be a lady who treats everyone well and had some good relationship advice from various sources. I seem to have inherited my Grandma's incredible verging on scary ability to read people including their emotions. If I know someone we enough I'll ask them if my theory is correct in a warm sincere way without putting them on the spot. I hate people making assumptions about me and I won't do that to others. Usually my approach goes over well, but I know when I'm out of my depth. My Grandma saw right through my father, unfortunately Mum was young and wouldn't listen to her. Grandma tried using gentle insistence but it didn't work. Two weeks into the marriage Mum started to understand what Grandma had seen in him. Here comes a fourth comment.
Thanks for sharing!
I have this girl that I like. She’s so pretty and goofy and she loves God. However, I keep getting in my own way because I’m terrified of rejection. I grew up being told that I was ugly and that I never would get a wife. Throughout my dating life, I’ve been cheated on a lot and all these things make me hesitant to try because that stuff does hurt 😅. I had to retrain my brain to learn that all women aren’t the same. I just don’t know how to overcome these emotions.
Thanks for sharing!
So beautiful, Mat, really grateful for all your knowledge and deep insights 🎈💙
Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing that from you.
@@Mat_Shaffer♥️
Love this video and love you!!! Your work is so wonderful! Thank you 🙏
Amazing! love hearing that!
Thank you Mat. I was going to say somethings this weekend with my boyfriend. And listening to you was enlightening and I want to thank you.
Happy to help!
Number 5 is a big one , I know I am not sure I want to try again ever because of these reasons.
I hope it helps.
Thanks, Matt. I appreciate all of this information.
But what is still hard to know is how do you know if his hesitation is due to these fears or that he's just not interested? As you know quite often we woman tend to assume that a man is afraid, when actually he's just bread-crumbing and not seriously interested.
In other words, how can we get a better sense of when we're just hanging on to an illusion that he really has feelings for us underneath all that fear, or that we're falsely assuming that he's not interested.
Please tell us more!
I appreciate your opinion on this!
@@Mat_Shaffer No, I wasn't giving my opinion. I was asking a question: how can we know the difference between a man that is pulling away because he's afraid and a man who simply isn't interested? I think this is the eternal question and it would be great if you could clarify it for us. 🙏
You seem exhausted, Matt. If this isn’t the case, I apologize. If it is true, please take care of yourself. Your videos are very encouraging to so many of your viewers 😊
so sweet thanks for sharing! its a great connection 🙂
Matt I feel like some Men don't want to commit because of the Era we live in where some women are easily throwing themselves at them (free sex without commitment) so if the Man commits he will be losing those benefits of other Women. What do you think?
I promise there are good guys out there my dear!
thank you mat. pure gold as per usual🙏🏽
My pleasure!
Good Job! Particularly effective when you shared your personal vulnerability. Perhaps you would consider addressing the possibility that many women are in exactly the same place due to exactly the same trauma. Connecting the two and the case for honoring the sacred in each person, might prove helpful. It is my belief that we all are wounded to some extent and that we have the emotional responsibility to treat each other with respect, solace and especially kindness. I see women who follow the suggestions of others and practice such skills when seeking companionship. Often they do not realize that they are causing disappointment, disillusion and distrust, because their own experiences. What responsibility do you feel a man has under such circumstances?
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I have a better understanding of my ,(male),best friend. You are correct about the Mommy influence. Mom is the first female the baby interacts with. His blue print, good or bad. Devastating experiences, like being turned down in a proposal after ordering an engagement ring, thinking this is the direction the relationship is going. Losing a partner to another and so on. A desirable, stable, wholesome relationship is a big investment in time and money. Both need to be grounded and committed to the same goal. Open communication and patience ain't easy but essential. But when that love interest is 20 years younger other dynamics are present. And so on and on it goes.
Amazing Martha🤗 Thanks for sharing it's a great connection🙏❤️
Thank you I'm glad you did it too! This video was very helpful and insightful for me 🧡💜🙌🏾

FINALLY, the truth!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this, it's about time we move away from all the old stereotypes around men and women. God bless.
You are so welcome
Absolutely ❤️ your insight and videos ! Your incredibly helpful and thank you
Many thanks!
Thanks you for this, i Will have a wish - I had this answer to the guy I really care, he told me lot of times, he was afraid to love you, and I was little bite hopeless and I had many relationships before him, I was afraid to feel safe with any man- after my younger child. but I don’t have this words to tell him, I really love him- for how he was really are - after all, I don’t know- I can’t get him a back after 5 years. I see - he was the best partner, I think- I hurting him, because I was afraid to be much - how can I get him back?
Don’t give up on love sister!
Good one Mat thank you so much! 🙂🤗
You're very welcome.
I just love how you have shared some (probably scary to admit) intimate stories of barriers for you. I commented on the younger man thread then had a *phone* (no texting!) conversation with my person of interest. I learned a lot of things but got a big sense of this man has trauma somewhere from something. Never wanted to marry or have children...you know those horrible societal norm molds everyone expects you to fit it. But I feel like it has also kept him from finding a meaningful, lasting relationship. No doubt there is so much more to it. For the longest time I thought I wanted a "whole" man, but after listening to your videos I have discovered what I really want is for a man to actually be open, honest and vulnerable because he trusts I am a safe haven. Not a perfect one but one nonetheless. Thanks for your candid truths. Happy Holidays to you and yours! ❤️🎄❤️
Thank you!
this is truly one of the most beautiful and important videos I've ever seen!
Thanks for sharing!
This vid helps me understand myself and my relationship better. Thank you for sharing. :)
I’m happy this resonated with you.
Thank you to share this and your one vuneralbility Mat it makes a lot clear to me and i think a lot of other women.
You are so welcome!
I think I emotionally am shut down as well
Don’t give up on love sister!
My boyfriend has said he isn't ready for a relationship yet, but says I'm his girlfriend. He's kind, loving, affectionate and tender and he has my heart. He's asked me to move to be near him which I'm in the process of doing.
Do I go with my feelings and move to be near him
Red flag
Don't
It all boils down to trust. That's it. Those wall took YEARS to put up, they aren't coming down in a few days or weeks, this takes time. Another thing women mistake this for games, but, it isn't. A lot of women don't have the patience.
My lady friends out there, looking for love by an insecure man, you have to treat him like a scored beaten dog.
You don't go full fledge w love, that would scare the hell out of them!
It's time spent that matters. Allow him to know, you're trust worthy. Be his friend BEFORE his gf!
Even if you're interested. Put the pressure aside. If he's spending the w you, let that be enough for the moment.❤
Because it's working for him rather he says it or not.
Thanks for sharing!
I’d say women have the same fears. I know I do !!
Absolutely!
I just LOVE to listen to you. thank you Mat!
Happy to hear that!
Tired of getting reamed by someone you thought or were falsely led to believe felt or may feel the same as you is the real bottom line
I appreciate your opinion on this!
Thanks for sharing and being transparent. It also gave a lot of insight into a man. Very helpful 💗

Thank you Matt.
My pleasure! Hopefully it was helpful🙂
We Aussies are pretty much the masters of non-verbal communication when it comes to letting someone know we're attracted to them. It's part of our culture to Check Out someone we find attractive as a compliment. Just don't linger that can make us uncomfortable. I know what I'm talking about guys have been Checking Me Out since I was 7. In High School I lost track of how many boys Checked Me Out and tried picking me up etc. 6 months before I'd started High School Mum and I left My Abusive Father. I was fortunate to find a really good Father Figure in My Mum's Sister's Husband. He was a Devoted Husband and Father who'd helped many people over the years. He took me under his wing, you could talk to him about anything without judgement. He was one of the sweetestest, kindest gentlemen you'd ever meet. By observing how he treated others including my Aunty/his wife and other ladies, I learnt what to look for in men. I'm starting second comment.
I appreciate your opinion on this! Thanks:)
Great advice as ussual 😁 thanks matt!!!
I’m so glad this helped you!
You describe very good.Bravo
Thanks for sharing!
They told Him that I Liked Him when I didn't after a party where I danced with Him once. He couldn't take his eyes off me and according to his Mum he floated home that evening. We live about an hours drive away from each other. The next time we saw each other he saw me sitting down so he sat down next to me. He started looking at me expectantly,. But when I didn't respond the way He thought I would, he became confused and hurt. He said "You're too changeable for me!" Then it was my turn to become confused 😕, I didn't know what he'd been told. Over the years of being friends things started to change. A few days after my Mum passed away he managed to really lift my mood up by letting me know that he still Liked Me in a typical Aussie way. He Checked Me Out, I looked away for a couple of minutes as if to say "Why thank you kind sir." Then I Checked Him Out and watched him Light Up Like A Christmas Tree. I've never seen him so excited. A friend of mine said "You're Mum just died, how come you're smiling?" a few hours later. I'm starting a sixth comment.
Thanks for sharing!
Another reason why I've never had to try attracting guys is how I look. My High School didn't allow make-up but that didn't stop all of those boys. I've got long legs and skin that tans easily. A girl I was friends with who did modelling told me that I had the face for it. She knew what she was talking about, she graduated with a Modelling Contract with the same Agency as Naomi Campbell. Even though I'm in my 40's I still manage to turn some heads including some belonging to younger men. I've had relationship issues in the past either he really wasn't ready or I wasn't. There is a potential boyfriend though. We've been friends since we were teenagers, He started Liking me in our 20's, but I didn't feel the same about him for over a decade. He's always been a Quiet, somewhat Shy Geek of a Gentleman and I've always been a bit of a Firery, Kooky Lady. I couldn't see how things could work between us back then. Unfortunately due to a group of young men who were worse gossips than old ladies he wound up getting hurt. Here comes a fifth comment.
Thanks for sharing!
It clearly had worked and his Mum was practically welcoming to the family. Amongst what we'd talked about including his being a certified genius and a member of Mensa. Especially when it comes to mathematics and computer science. He has his own small I.T business. I told him I'd had my IQ tested and was told I just shy of being a genius myself when it comes to lateral thinking. His Mum said we need something who's good at lateral thinking that next time she saw me. Unfortunately he and I had a conversation about a couple of fears he had about starting a relationship at that time. One has to do with our religion so I won't go into that. The other was about that fear of hurting and losing me that you mentioned. He has a point geniuses are more inclined to say and do the wrong thing even more than most people. So for then I let him know he could count on me as a friend. The timing wasn't right so I didn't let him know he'd just made himself even more attractive to me. Just one last comment.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Matt ! I have a friend who does not want to committ...I have not asked him why, but I know him well and believe he is afraid that we will not succeed ! He us 70' as I am and he is a widower and had recentky had a relationship, that went wrong....We were lovers many yeaes ago... now we both want to have a close relationship, and I chose to assure him as much as I can, that I love him deeply and always have, though we are "old" now, we have decided to try and we talk deeply about our relationship ?! We do not live together....I need your advise, how can I make him trust, that I love him no matter what ? ?❤
Thanks for sharing!
@@Mat_Shaffer Hi Matt ! Am I doung the right thing !??
Why men want a relationship if they are not ready to commit ?😊
Good morning Mat and every1 here 🌞🌿☕🧡😺
Sex and loneliness.
🤔
Yep, I'm pretty stereotypically 'hot'/sexy...modelling agencies sometimes approach me on the street, yet most men avoid me as if I have the plague! I'm 100% ignored. The only time I get attention is by bums, or crazies on the street (men who have nothing to lose) OR guys who yell at me out their car window as they drive by. My love life in a nutshell. The end....haha...i should also say that I live in a Canadian city where the men are known for being passive as hell. It's dire to say the least!
Don’t give up on love sister!
Everyones scared but no excuse for bad behaviour ae. They the players who use it
Your feelings are important. Thank you for trusting us with your story. We’re here for you. 🤗
I love your hair.
I so appreciate you saying that - that was so sweet of you!
The prison part 😂 😭
LOL!
Mat, the man I have been with for almost 2 months does not look at me when he talks to me. He glances once in awhile, but that is it. Is that bad? We are 54.
I promise there still good guys out there my dear! Don't settle yourself for less. You deserved better than that. Just sayin🙌🤗🙏❤️
Matt - is it judgy or, ask yourself if She listens CAREFULLY & hears contradictions in what YOU say & is trying to make sense of what you tell her ! I’m not judgmental as a nurse my training is to LISTEN carefully & I’m a bit older than Millennials (they tend to be a very critical generation) but, my Bf has pulled away & he has said some contractors statements
Thanks for sharing!
I thought you were in your 30’s right now! How old are you? If you don’t mind me asking. I can’t find it online, lol.
Thanks for sharing!
I like your hair like that.
You are so sweet!
I prefer confident, strong men so.....
Amazing!
Should I pursue a man who is obviously in shut down mode?
Give him space, stop worrying about what you did. I promise there are good guys out there my dear! 🤗
Do you think it took a very patient loving woman to open your heart again ??
It’s 100% possible to heal and create something new
Honestly I'm tired of hearing these same crap excuses. Like women don't hurt? Like women don't have trauma? Why is it women's responsibility to go above and beyond to baby men that have been "wounded" with the HOPES that MAYBE someday he'll come around a commit? I understand empathy and being empathic but I also refuse to be someone's free therapist. Nah.. I'm good. Either come emotionally available or don't come at all and go work on yourself and your past traumas. And stop making these garbage videos that just enable these type of men and make excuses for them. We're all human we've all had trauma, we've all been hurt. It's up to ourselves as adults to go and heal not someone else to come rescue us. Yes goes both ways
Thanks for sharing:)
I did communicate to him that I do love him as and where he is and for what he is. I didn't even ask/ demand for any commitments from him. But then he suddenly pulled back from me. He started ghosting me. Though i know he very much liked me.
And i've no clue why he changed 360.
He believes tht i respect n love him a lot. But he suddenly started ghosting me. 1st i thought it's temporary n he will be ok with time bt he didn't then i asked him did i made any mistake? But he said it's nothing abt me it's abt him. He has this hot n cold behavior issue. Now i stopped my daily txts as he responds them after long hours. I did this once before as i didn't wanted to imposed myself on him. But he called me after 5 days which shows he don't want to end up with me. But again he started this. I don't know what to do. Pls help me
He had a breakup history of around 9 or 10 years back. But he told me that he was the one who broked up as she wanted him to get married soon and couldn't.
He never expressed or said he loves me but i can feel that. He always put a facade that he is not interested in love or marriage or anything.
But i have seen the spark in his whole body language, and how he was flowing with joy when we first met. The rhythm in his tone, his fondness for me, long talks on calls abt random things. Whole day texting on and off, how he came to my home on eid like a teenager with the excuse of giving meat and suddenly everything shut down. He pulled off himself. First he cut down the duration of daily calls then calling after 2 to 3 days then after weeks and then after 10 days then txts also got lessen now to just good morning and good night. That too after long delays.
Even though he knows its hurting me. Even after he cares for me alot. 😢
Neither he is leaving me completely nor coming taking it further.. its so strange.
And by the way he is quite mature and a very good hearted person. And so innocent
I think he is afraid of my love for him. He don't want to be loved once he said. He got triggered when I confess my feeling while enjoying it too.
I am open to listen to him i asked him some of the times but he stopped me from asking anything so personal and i didn't forced him in fear of hurting him. I don't know what to say and what to do now to be him feel ok and back to normal
Thanks for sharing!
@@Mat_Shaffer I would love to have any advice from you. I don't know why but you seem blessed, wise and a beautiful soul.
Stay always blessed ❤️💐
Matt is too nice, the presentation is nice, the points made are nice but the world out there is not. Listen yáll the female empowerment movement like feminism has gained women lots of positive strides but men provided the opposing grain at which those strides grabbed on to let women move forward. Get what I mean, the antagonistic role of men in women's movements is inherent in all of them. Now that women have achieved a lot they are trying to form relationships from the outlook of, I have achieved and I deserve a man that can match or at least accommodate it. It is very difficult to find a man and form a healthy long relationship with from this outlook. Most women don't get it.

Men that don’t want to commit just aren’t that into you.
Good point!
That's pretty reductionist
There is good info here, but at the same time, women don't want a project. I can be a safe space, but I don't want to be a therapist. Also, why not just watch for the actions to tell you how he feels about you? Why put yourself in the masculine role of asking him how he feels about you and risking the rejection? Just observe the actions, you won't need to ask....
I appreciate your opinion regarding this! Thank you ❤❤
As an attractive woman, i now know why i am single. Thanks for the reality check😅

Pressure in men to be an agressor? If U want the benefits U gotta take the 1st step., Get over yourself!
Thanks for sharing!
The title doesn't resonates with info
ok Thanks for sharing!
Men have so many alibis , and some are immature , and afraid to be in a serious relationship, not sure what they want in life , some just play around feelings, and afraid commitment.
Thanks for sharing your opinion regarding this!
Been single for a while . No wonder 😂
I promise there are good guys out there my dear!
@@Mat_Shaffer they don't approach me or give me a chance . It's strange
Ya. No. I don't buy any of this. I have been blamed for not acting interested even when I said, "I really like you". Can't make it more clear. And I'm also not responsible for a man's insecurities. Go to therapy. Heal yourself, dudes. Women are growing more weary of you bs. We believe in you. You have to believe in yourself.
Amazing I appreciate your opinion on this! thanks
I'm sorry have you just said it's our feminine responsibility to be the emotional safe space?? Screw that!! I'm done being hurt and not looked after. Why do women have to baby sit grown man?? Why do we have to put on twice as much effort. How come we have to heal from our own deceit and heartbreak and abuse but man just can't? This is what keeps women in draining troubled relationships. NO, THANKS.
I appreciate your opinion on this!
He needs a psychologist, not a lady!
