Some women over the age of 35 often complain that it is very difficult for them to arrange their personal life. At the same time, they refer to the fact that they already have enough experience; they see the shortcomings of men at the very beginning of the relationship. They cannot afford to make the same mistakes as in their younger years, and they do not want to. Often, such women, in addition to a very critical opinion about male qualities, also have a stable system of expectations of certain actions on the part of a man. For example, they often believe that a man should immediately, from the first dates, start giving gifts, and if this does not happen, then the man immediately becomes unpromising for further communication or building long-term relationships. It is interesting that among the demands that such women make on men are often decency, responsibility, and the ability to earn money and manage money. At the same time, they bypass such qualities as the ability to love or listen. Even sex, for some women, does not play as important a role as the ability to provide. In other words, such women are more inclined to see a certain resource in a man, rather than his human qualities, which are the basis for a man’s success. Such women tend to turn dates into a kind of interview. During which the main goal for a woman is to find out the circumstances of a man’s life. Instead of female attention and interest in relation to a man, the position of the investigator who conducts the interrogation is demonstrated. The critical attitude towards men is so strong that sometimes these women cannot explain to themselves why they did not like or are not suitable for this or that man. In addition, this position often deprives women of their natural charm. And it may well turn such a lady, despite her relative youth, into a semblance of a boring HR employee who is not interested in the man himself, but only in the process of selecting applicants. As a result, endless complaints about the fact that there are no “real” men. Of course, you need to be careful when choosing a partner. But at the same time, it is worth understanding that excessive criticality towards men can cause problems for a woman with her own level of self-esteem. Live with joy! Anton Chernykh.
