What are The 15 Areas Women Notice in a Man?

 

Historically through the generations, children were trained differently and strongly encouraged, unlike today, to apply key Christian principles to their lives. Doing so resulted in them becoming stronger individuals, as well as becoming better partners in their relationships. Men were taught to be men, which meant they were expected to be strong leaders and tireless and selfless providers for their families. 

 

Sacrificial love and thinking of your family first were a man’s norm, not the exception as it is today. The provision men made for their families was never just limited to providing for their physical needs, but also the family's emotional and spiritual needs as well. These men were driven to develop themselves, work hard, and serve their God and communities in an honest, sober-minded, and patient way.
 

From a young age, women in our culture today have been influenced by the feminist movement, also known as the women's movement. These social movements and political campaigns for radical and liberal reforms on women's issues were initially created by the inequality between men and women concerning women’s right to vote. The movement's priorities have expanded since its beginning in the 1800s, and now include exclusive reproductive rights apart from the father, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, sexual harassment, and sexual violence.

 

Inequality between men and women is being stretched past common-sense matters of safety, income, and harassment. The extremists in the social movements have been successful in emasculating men to the point where some women believe fallacies such as “I don’t need a man to be happy or successful”, “You don’t need a man to be a parent”, and “You tell men what to do, otherwise he won’t know” Jokes are made about “training your man” to be more compliant with demands. 

 

Women in those former days were respectful in their behavior. That didn't mean they didn't speak their mind and work hard alongside their husbands, but they did so with elegance, intelligence, warmth, courage, tact, and respect. Lack of respect and sex are the top issues driving divorce among men today. These older ladies were grounded in their faith, got married before living with a man, respected their husbands, and didn't gossip or run around violating their marriage bonds. Women often turned to their husbands with warmth and affection.

 

The concept of what men believe it is to be a man has shifted over the years through demasculinizing media and other points of culture in American society. Rather than a man being a strong, masculine, and capable leader, it teaches us that men are the root of all evil – bumbling gamer idiots who can’t find a job and live in the basement of their parent’s house.  If these men are white, then that’s another strike against them.  Conservative and faith-based?  Even worse. What caused this shift in attitude?

 

What is interesting about this trend is that most women are attracted to a traditional, masculine, confident, educated, and well-groomed man who respects and treats women well. Perhaps the result of several decades of emasculating indoctrination by the media, the men today aren't measuring up to their fullest male potential.
