Men Love Conscious Women Until…
Being a conscious woman is incredibly attractive to men. Often, they feel on top of the world in a relationship with one!
That might sound wonderful, but let’s take a closer look at the struggles conscious women face in dating and finding a mate.
We don’t overreact, and men find that very appealing. We communicate well and are not driven by the need to be right. Men love this!
However, a relationship is a two-way street — he must also be able to effectively and consciously communicate. In a way that is supportive and loving. She won’t engage in blaming or defensive communication.
We don’t seek compliments because we understand they are subjective, and we’re not shallow in our quest for love. Compliments are nice, but we don’t hang on them. We don’t build relationships on flattery.
We reflect on our behaviors and feelings, communicating without unnecessary drama. We know it’s our job to tend to our inner world. Often he hasn’t done the work to do the same.
We are often flexible, watching closely to see his direction in life, his emotional maturity, and how he responds to us. This doesn’t mean we have no desires of our own — we are simply observant. We are assessing the connection.
