How do women perceive the male genre?
Not all women have a similar view regarding the opposite sex. Opinions vary, and this is because, before talking about gender, we should focus on the concept of 'individual' in general. And as human beings, we are born with different tastes and propensities and, unfortunately, society plays a fundamental role in our training and the approach with others during the growth process.
The view of man may seem a little more simplistic, as the ironic phrase: 'who understands women?' Is quite common. Among the male sex, it is more widespread the belief that women are quite complex; that it is difficult to maintain an ongoing relationship, and many think they are unable to fully understand their world. Especially concerning serious relationships, men tend to think that attending an Italian escort (decidedly detached at a sentimental level) can replace a stable relationship, thus avoiding the man taking on the burden of the responsibilities of a romantic relationship.
The facets of women are varied, it is true. But it is precisely this that men will always be attracted to them, even if in an unconscious way.
Gender issues are still current
Whether it is a feminist vision or not, the partial marginalization of women still emerges today in the social landscape and is quite perceived. Some women, even in the most developed countries, are still victims of disparities in various fields.
This depends on the patriarchal historical path that women have always had to face and, like any legacy of history, it is difficult to free oneself from the consequences of past mistakes.
Certainly, some nations have a more open mentality than others where cultural conditions do not allow progress (such as what happens today in Middle Eastern countries and which has lasted for centuries). Unfortunately, this alarming attitude of man over time has provoked in the woman a sense of basic competition. It is difficult to ignore how some men still abuse their power and cause trauma due to physical and psychological violence.
Some women tend to submit to this 'phallocentric' view of the world: women even with strong and enterprising characters. What, then, does this submissive attitude depend on? Perhaps from the relationship with his father, but this is a purely psychological matter.
Of course, being in front of a man who makes sexist jokes would annoy anyone, even those who do not call themselves feminists. What the woman mainly annoys the man is his unconscious arrogance that sometimes transpires without wanting to. Unfortunately, a man's mental structure does not depend on other factors other than, precisely, on what society has allowed him ... and on how he was raised by the family. Men who grow up with single mothers are generally more open to women, as they have always seen the mother as a point of reference and as an icon to respect. Here the hypothesis which is based on the mimetic theory of René Girard comes into play: imitation constitutes the foundation of the cultural learning of each individual.
And the macho approach, unfortunately, harms both women and men, both enslaved by stereotypes.
What women are attracted to and the characteristics they value in a man
After having touched on a more serious issue that primarily affects the man-woman relationship, let's analyze, instead, the more optimistic view of women on the male gender.
Generally, there are essential factors that every woman would like to find in a man: basic qualities that attract them to the opposite sex.
Women want a self-confident man who knows how to take control of the situation, who is fearless in the face of problems, and who can take responsibility. This is not because they are not endowed with such qualities, but because anyone would like to pair up with a mature person. The woman does not like having a superficial 'boy' beside her, but she likes having a person next to him who knows how to put his potential into practice. Some women are attracted to even the timidest and quiet characters because they instill in them a sense of sweetness and sensitivity. The leading man is not the one who always shows himself strong and courageous, but the one who knows how to understand what is right and what is wrong. The sense of protection is something innate that characterizes any human being.
If the woman is looking for a stable relationship, she will evaluate factors such as reliability, intelligence, the mental feeling that is created, and, above all, the sense of trust capable of giving to her partner.
An element not to be underestimated is the physical aspect: who takes care of himself wins from the start. Women love to feel special and appreciated for their intelligence, as well as their attractiveness. Therefore, the ability of man to give emotions and involve on an emotional level is fundamental from the female point of view.
Women greatly appreciate those who know how to listen to them, who can respect their spaces and their ideas, leaving out any kind of prejudice. They want to see their lover as a true friend.
They love a sense of humor: being in company and spending quality time is a deciding factor. Nobody likes to waste time or get bored when dating someone. So the woman is attracted to those who make her laugh.
When a man openly shows his love without being carried away by pride, when he knows how to apologize, when he is always available to help and support her when he is passionate and generous ... the woman falls in love in no time at all.
We specify that out of generosity it is not equivalent to economic wealth, but moral wealth. A man who possesses strong values is immediately attractive. Certainly, a stingy man does not look good.
And when, at a certain point in the couple's journey, inevitable frictions arise, patience and knowing how to forgive must be the basis of everything.
Everything that has been listed, if you think about it, is not only valid from the female point of view but also vice versa. If it were a man to read the list of characteristics of what a woman wants to find in a man, he could say that the same is true for him, because, as anticipated at the beginning, we are talking about people in their own right, with unique personalities. regardless of genre!
