So glad to read this right now! Very timely. I’m in my mid-50’s, not feeling too great about my lot in life, and lack of accomplishments. Never married, no kids. Have a career but don’t like it, and feel trapped and that it’s too late to try to find a new career.
Anyway, I recently was contacted by a woman on a dating app. Said she thought I seemed “interesting”, and she wanted to FaceTime. And we have a plan to do it tonight. I’m definitely nervous, reasons being what I described above about not being “masculine” enough. But I do get a good feeling from this woman, and I look forward to seeing where this leads. This article is a friendly reminder of what matters. So thank you and wish me luck!
Good luck, sir. Be confident, even if you have to fake it til you make it. Ladies love confidence. Whatever your current situation, if you are perceived to have a mission to improve it & confidence in yourself, you'll make a good impression.
Great article. Can you elaborate on your comment about animals, esp. dogs helping men realize who they truly are? We got a puppy recently & haven't had a new one in about 16 years since the dogs we had ,who passed a few years ago, lived to be pretty old. I'd forgotten how stressful the first few weeks of raising a puppy can be! Huge adjustment for everyone. Anyway, it had me thinking about aggression in men and dogs... about how I had to show extreme patience w/ this little creature that now looks to me as an example how to behave, just like a little child. Maybe I'm making more of it than it is, but I try really hard to raise a dog that knows it is loved & cared for so that it will want to behave & protect us.
