Speaker A
Fine, then I'll explain what actually defines a man's value in a woman's eyes. We women test men’s strength from the very first day. We watch to see what you are willing to do for our "yes." Are you ready to show persistence,
Speaker A
pursue us, endure rejection, and come back anyway? Overly intense courtship can intoxicate a woman and literally cloud her judgment. She starts imagining herself as a heroine in a novel and thinks she is the center of the universe. And yes, women really
Speaker A
enjoy it when people chase them. But here is the paradox. They most often respect and choose those who don't do that, meaning men who aren't ready to dance around a woman at the expense of their own life and interests. Modern
Speaker A
culture has normalized a very strange idea of female passivity. They are told: "Just wait." And your future husband will find you himself and will pursue you until he hears that cherished "I do." And women follow this rule. And even
Speaker A
if a suitor has already been found and she really likes him, she will still sit silently and wait for him to make the first move, even if she's a nervous wreck. And today we are so used to the
Speaker A
idea of chasing female attention that it has literally become a resource that people have learned to monetize.
Speaker A
Moreover, it's no secret that such a pursuit is encouraged by society. It can be called different things: the honeymoon phase, infatuation, or some might even call it love. But someone who loves, and someone who is truly interested, won't compete to see who
Speaker A
stays silent longer or who appears more inaccessible. If you are interested in a job, you wouldn't ignore an HR rep for hours just so they would chase you and realize how valuable and significant you are to their company.
Speaker A
And it's exactly the same in relationships. Relationships are about two people. And even during the courtship stage, it's about two people, not chasing and winning someone over.
Speaker A
This is actually not as harmless a thing as they show us in movies. By relentlessly pursuing someone, we risk forcing a relationship that, in principle, isn't meant to be. As I said, women are prone to persistent courtship. It feeds our self-esteem and
Speaker A
our sense of self-importance. Well, in general, yes, we enjoy it, so it's very easy to get confused. Did you appeal to the woman, or did she just like that you were chasing her, courting her, and thereby giving her that feeling of
Speaker A
importance? And yet, your happiness in these relationships depends entirely on that answer. All those flashy, movie-like displays of courtship are most likely to hook an immature girl with the most superficial understanding of relationships. But a mature woman will look deeper at a partner's values,
Speaker A
his lifestyle, his character, and his principles. She will try to understand what kind of person is before her and to what extent it's possible to build a life together with him. The former will easily leave for more active attention
Speaker A
if the opportunity arises. But the latter will stay, because she chose the man himself. It very often happens that men start to consider a woman's reaction as the yardstick of their own worth. But this is a false and very
Speaker A
dangerous guide. Why on earth should someone else decide how valuable you are, and why even give that power to someone else's hands? And when that happens, rejection hurts twice as much, and in such moments you no longer think
Speaker A
that, well, it's just her quirks or her subjective view of things. You try to find the problem within yourself and start to doubt. I am not saying you should forget about courtship and show no signs of attention at all. You
Speaker A
should. Otherwise, how else can you express interest? How can you show a person that you like them? But chasing and running after a person is definitely a no. And let's separate these two concepts right now. What is initiative, and what is the chase?
Speaker A
Initiative is conscious. It means that you know who you are, you know what you want, and you act calmly. But the chase is desperate. It happens when you yourself don't understand what you are doing or what you want, and you are
Speaker A
simply afraid to be alone. Initiative is noble, while the chase is destructive, and it's very easy to lose yourself in it and not even notice. The more dependent a man is on a woman, the easier it is for him to lose his
Speaker A
boundaries and start pursuing, persistently trying to regain the attention of someone to whom he has become, well, objectively indifferent.
Speaker A
And women feel this instability, this inner weakness. And men stop being attractive to us at that moment if there is no foundation within them. And then, no matter what message he writes or how he shows his attention, it all
Speaker A
becomes not just devalued, it might even start to irritate us. And at that moment, out of desperation, we might just lose our heads. We will be ready for anything to get the person back, even down to humiliation. And I know
Speaker A
what that feeling is like. I have gone through this myself. It is a truly vile, heavy feeling, and it is genuinely hard to cope with. That is why I understand people who cannot let go.
Speaker A
But still, try, try to memorize this like the Lord's Prayer. No relationship is worth humiliation and begging. No relationship should ever lead to a situation where a person's sincere feelings are ignored. And what is even worse? To have them trampled and
Speaker A
dragged through the mud. If your partner doesn't see your value, don't try to convince them otherwise. The right person doesn't need you to prove that you are good and cool. They already know it themselves. But an inner core, self-sufficiency, and a bit
Speaker A
of life stubbornness, all of this, on the contrary, makes a man much more attractive in a woman's eyes. Such a man does not cling to relationships.
Speaker A
She is there. Well, great. She is gone. Well, that's okay. Such a man does not understand how chasing a person can be more important than seeking meaning and purpose. I mean, what must a woman have to compete with that and take up his
Speaker A
attention? And such a person does not enter into a relationship with the goal of filling an inner void. He is already fulfilled. That is, he first built his internal life foundation and only then, well, let's say, matured for a
Speaker A
relationship. And not just for any relationship, but specifically for one that will bring even more harmony, support, and stability. That is, truly that very union, that very ship that will sail through this world toward new opportunities. And today, miraculously,
Speaker A
everything has turned upside down. Relationships have become a crutch for personal problems. People look for a partner before they sort themselves out. Before they build the foundation of their own values and simply learn to truly love like an adult. Modern love,
Speaker A
if you can call it love, is not built on a solid foundation, but rather on emotions. And therefore, it turns out completely immature and somewhat unhealthy. And it ends, as a rule, in pain and disappointment. Then women themselves often say that they only
Speaker A
need a strong, mature, self-confident man, but for some reason, they reject such men themselves. I know why. Simply because such men do not agree to play the emotional games that a woman used to play with her ex, for example. A
Speaker A
woman may openly claim that she needs stability and calmness in words, but at the same time be addicted to drama in relationships. So if it's boring being around a good man, maybe the point isn't that he's wrong or that there's
Speaker A
no chemistry, but that he just doesn't agree to participate in this roller coaster because he understands that there are things much more important.
Speaker A
And a mature man really won't baby these insecurities just to stay in the relationship. His contribution, his energy is in the fact that he will direct and lead their union toward growth. And in this vein, he might even
Speaker A
tell a woman an unpleasant truth if he sees that she is making a mistake somewhere. That i
Speaker A
courting, but making a real contribution. The bitter truth is that an immature woman will not be able to handle such an approach simply because she hasn't grown enough for a relationship of such depth and level.
Speaker A
To her, such behavior will seem like the height of abuse and toxicity, because she will think, "How could he?" "My man dared to point out my flaws," and let’s not forget that in our minds, all women are perfect. She has
Speaker A
her own picture of love in her head, and at the center of that picture are emotions and gifts. The main thing I want to say today is that love is a collaborative dance. You can’t dance the tango alone. You need two people
Speaker A
who are moving in the same direction and meeting somewhere along the way. And in general, it is not even a 50/50 split. It requires 100%. For a powerful dance to happen, you must both give your 100 percent. Otherwise, what is
Speaker A
the point of it all? And the point is not even about who texted first or who didn't, or who showed more interest.
Speaker A
These are all trifles. These are all toys that adult children play with to measure their own significance. The point is the real ability to love, the ability to let go of your ego and pride and truly invest yourself. Ladies, do
Speaker A
not make a man overcome obstacles for you if you are not ready to walk at least half that path yourselves. You cannot demand a king while failing to meet those standards yourself. Our strength lies in our wisdom and
Speaker A
understanding. So, let's finally turn them on. A piece of advice for everyone : do not run away from yourself into a relationship. Relationships are not a pill or a refuge from emptiness and loneliness. And they are certainly not
Speaker A
the only source of warmth and joy in life. Believe me, in the hands of those who don't know how to be in harmony with themselves, relationships become poison for both. So, stop chasing people who don't actually need you. Try
Speaker A
starting with your own life. Try to love your life, make your own world cozy, and only then will you be able to invite someone else into it. When things are in order within and a person lives in accordance with their values,
Speaker A
it is much easier to attract those who share them. In "The Art of Loving," Erich Fromm wrote: "Love is a child of freedom, never of domination." And if we constantly have to chase someone, persuade them, prove to someone that we
Speaker A
are actually here and we exist too, and that we need to be—and can be—loved , if we have to constantly break someone's resistance, perhaps that is not love. Perhaps we are calling something love that is not love at all.
