Exactly the kind of man I want #podcast #men #relationships #love #women

When someone asks me what kind of man I want, I am not going to say tall, I am not going to say rich, I am not going to say perfect, I am going to say I want a man who protects my feelings, not just my body, my feelings. There is a difference between those two things, and most men only know how to protect one of them. I want a man who never makes me question my own worth when I am with him, who does not disappear the moment, things get hard between us, who does not weaponize his silence against me when he is upset about something. I want someone who communicates even when the conversation is uncomfortable, even when his voice shakes a little, even when he does not have all the right words yet, I want someone who chooses me, not just when it is easy to choose me, not just when I am convenient for his week. Every single day, no matter what mood I happen to be in, I want a man who stays gentle, even when life around him refuses to be, who does not let stress, turn him into a cold stranger, who does not let the world harden him into someone unrecognizable, someone who listens to me, not just so he can fire back with his own response, not just so he can wait for his turn to talk. Someone who listens, so he can understand me, even when understanding takes work, someone who sees my tears and does not call me dramatic or too much, someone who holds me like I am something worth holding carefully, I do not need expensive dates, I do not need grand gestures, I do not need flowers every Friday afternoon, I do not need perfect, I want kind, I want safe, I want a man who feels like home in a world that never slows down enough to let anyone breathe. That is the only thing I have been asking for the whole time, anything more than that is a bonus, anything less than that is not enough for me anymore.
