They’re not getting enough of it. A message for women

No, it’s not sex. Thought I’d just get it out of the way.

I was in a Clubhouse room where men and women from all walks of life were talking about their perspective on marriage. Some people were single, some were married twice and divorced twice. Some others were single parents.

Many modern women say “I don’t need a man.” One of the topics in that Clubhouse room as also about what being brought up by a single mother does to boys as they grow up to be men.

Most women’s dating experiences haven’t been great. There’s also who are the men they have been choosing to go out. Do these men have the leadership required of them to be men whom women would want?

I felt that good leadership has gone missing.

Too many men jump to sex too soon. It makes the woman feel unsafe. There’s also the fact that people make themselves sexually vulnerable thinking that that will bring in emotional vulnerability. Which in most cases doesn’t happen.

Women also have sex on the first date. Either way, it doesn’t lead them to a relationship.

So it’s not like all men want is sex. Men want relationships as much as women do.
