That and more. Women that want to bear children are very dependent on their partner for survival. For her and her children. Think about it from a woman’s perspective. Would a woman rather have a strong man who is reliable and fearless in the face of difficulty? A man that can put his emotions and needs to the side and get the job done? Or…. would she rather have a vulnerable man that shares his fears of inadequacy with her? If the man isn’t sure of himself, how can she be sure of him? How can she feel safe and confident for herself and her children’s future if her man lacks confidence in himself? As men, we don’t truly understand what it’s like to be a woman. Imagine being a scrawny man ALWAYS walking around massive bodybuilders the size of Arnold Schwarzenegger. That’s kind of what it’s like to be a woman. About half the people around you can crush you in an instance. Now think about how difficult it would be for a woman to find a good man. She needs someone who is strong and capable of providing and protecting but also one that is kind and loving so he doesn’t abuse her. This is why women test men so frequently. If you can’t stand up to her, how are you going to stand up to big Bob when he threatens your family? If she’s mistreating you and you tolerate it, how is she going to trust that you will not tolerate mistreatment in your career? You need to show her these qualities without aggression. This is why the men most women desire are the ones that are emotionally grounded and never simp over women. And I think most women do these tests unconsciously. It’s quite brilliant because they get very important information.
