Q & A

Why do some Western women appear more masculine today?

Western women are often more masculine today because they spend a significant amount of time in the workforce, engaging in tasks that require goal orientation, direction, and focus, which are generally associated with masculinity. This masculine energy is often carried over into their personal lives, making it harder for them to switch back to a feminine energy when dating.

What societal factors contribute to Western women becoming more masculine?

Society encourages women to be more masculine through education and career pursuits, where they are pushed to become independent, assertive, and goal-driven. With more women working than men, especially in desk jobs, they are constantly in masculine roles, which impacts their behavior and energy.

How does masculinity and femininity impact relationships today?

In modern relationships, when men don't display enough masculinity, women often feel compelled to step into a more masculine role themselves. This shift creates imbalances, as women naturally prefer to embrace their femininity when with a partner, leading to dissatisfaction if the masculine-feminine dynamic is not present.

Why have women's happiness statistics decreased since the 1970s despite more rights and power?

Although women gained more rights and power since the 1970s, their happiness has decreased because relationships, which were a major source of happiness, have been strained due to shifting gender dynamics. As women take on more masculine roles in their careers, they often lose the balance needed for fulfilling relationships.

What role does a masculine man play in helping women return to their feminine energy?

A masculine man helps a woman return to her feminine energy by providing a stable and dominant presence, which allows her to relax, feel secure, and embrace her natural femininity. This dynamic helps create a balanced relationship where both partners feel fulfilled.

How does the modern educational system contribute to men's inability to embrace masculinity?

The modern educational system encourages men to follow directions, seek permission, and act in a more passive manner. This discourages them from embracing their masculinity, which often results in men becoming disconnected from their true desires and masculine energy.

What is the importance of reconnecting with one's desires for a man?

What challenges do men face in balancing masculinity and femininity in modern relationships?

Men face challenges because they have often been taught to suppress their desires and emotions, leading them to struggle with assertiveness and confidence in relationships. Without being encouraged to step into their masculinity, many men find it difficult to lead, which forces women to take on a more dominant role.

Why do many women prefer a masculine man in a relationship?

Many women prefer a masculine man because his presence allows them to feel more feminine, relaxed, and secure. When a man takes the lead in a relationship, it enables the woman to step into her softer, more nurturing side, which is often a more fulfilling dynamic.

How can men develop their masculinity to attract a feminine partner?

Men can develop their masculinity by reconnecting with their core desires, acting on them confidently, and not being afraid to take the lead in different situations. Practicing assertiveness, making decisions, and expressing desires openly will help men embrace their masculinity and make them more attractive to women seeking a masculine partner.
