***Women have been forced to be more masculine, especially as a single parent. The men I’ve dated have unfortunately reinforced that dynamic. It’s so hard to find a man (like you’re stating) because they need to be in their masculine enough where I can follow versus be in charge. Love your post 🤗

I’ve had the opposite problem and maybe it’s somewhat geographical (I’m in the Seattle metro area which is a liberal stronghold) but the women I have dated are unwilling to follow the path I am on even as I’m explicit that I want to be the provider and leader. It’s frustrating and the complete opposite of how I grew up with my dad as provider / protector / leader.

The women I have experience with seem unhappy, unstable and listless while trying to lead and provide for themselves. But at the same time unwilling to change their path. Weird times.

> Weird times.

You can say that a few more times.
