I’ve said the same thing for a long time. I don’t understand why women insist on making life harder for themselves. If you’re truly a smart girl, why not lean into the damsel in distress archetype? Nothing to prove. That doesn’t mean you can’t be ambitious, capable, or successful in your own right. Just leave that shit out of your relationships with men. You don’t need to turn your romantic relationship into another arena where you prove how independent and self sufficient you are. Also, men do love bitches. Don’t listen to what they say. Watch who they actually pay attention to. It’s rarely the *boss babes* over-performing to prove they don’t need anyone. It’s the women who unapologetically say, *I’m not over-performing for you.* It ignites their provider instinct = life on easy mode.

This is the normal evolution of human attraction over a lifespan. Most men do not spend their entire lives looking at women through the adolescent lens of “hot, want sex, must act.” Physical beauty may initiate attention, no one argues against that, but mature attraction becomes increasingly selective, contextual, and integrated with compatibility and trust. The human brain evolved far beyond a simple stimulus response mating system. Men are capable of discernment, pair bonding, devotion, and long term preference formation. A woman’s appearance does not exist in isolation from her character, intelligence, temperament, behavior, or the meaning she holds in his life. In an emotionally developed man, desire becomes organized around the whole person rather than endlessly triggered by every attractive female body in his visual field. A man who remains permanently governed by novelty and immediate visual appetite is not displaying some profound truth about male nature. He is displaying weak inhibition, poor psychological development, or a deliberate refusal to evolve beyond its most primitive layer. I’d seriously caution anyone against listening to men who claim men continue behaving like lustful bots after 25ish. Most psychologically healthy men mature out of chimp mating behaviors because engaging that way requires them to keep choosing the chaos and immaturity, long after they have enough life experience to know better.
