the characteristic that elevates a man above others

[jhonny9546]

There is always someone taller, with a longer, thicker ****, a straighter nose, more beautiful eyes, broader shoulders, more sculpted abs, more hair, more money, and more social connections. Out there. There will always be someone like that. (This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t preserve what Mother Nature has given us and always do our best in that regard.)

However, the characteristic or ability that elevates a man above others—the one who ultimately prevails (not without considerable losses)—is the one who knows how to suffer and how to take hits. Rarely do women leave such man.

Let’s be clear: he is obviously betrayed, abused, humiliated, and violated in his intimacy; but in the long run, he is the safe harbor to which one can return. Even if he has a small **** or is a charming gnome.

Emotional stability combined with steadfast resilience of the soul is the most valuable currency.

Right, just ask Will Smith and Ben Affleck, whose women made them suffer and publicly humiliated them.

Who knows those men are "Emotionally" stable

She ebbs and flows and sometimes crashes into the shoreline hoping you will be the rock to be calm her that never waivers.

 

[jhonny9546]

No, the men stand out are the ones who know how to deflect those hits. Suffering is for mules.

Taking hits vs deflecting hits.
Would you make IRL examples?

Yes, so cyclical..
Just thinking about a woman friend I have that in one month change his "drug": 10 days it's shopping, another 10 days it's reading, another 10 days it's food. So she would come to you in one month so happy that she find this new thing everytime she start again the addiction

This sounds like wishful thinking. Kind of like a woman pining to be loved or her "inner beauty". Truth is, women are ruthless. They don't care about your suffering. That's why wives often leave their husbands when the latter experience financial setbacks. Women see men in black and white terms. You are either a winner or a loser. The moment you stop being a winner, she will start looking for an exit.

This is why an LTR based on communication, trust and mutual respect is an unicorn.
And this is all they tell you need to be in a healthy relationship

Did you get to this conclusion from your personal experiences and observations, or from the experiences from others who have been saying this for years?

 

[BackInTheGame78]

Seems like you have only been around low quality women and lack self respect if you allow that to continue happening to you.

People teach others how to treat them.

 

[Mike32ct]

Women don’t respect a “martyr.”

Even if the unfortunate circumstances aren’t his fault and he bravely faces it, at best, she still won’t give him credit for it. At worst, she will blame him and look down on him for it.

 

[Barrister]

As a man, you can individually take pride in the fact you can brave through this kind of thing. A woman, on the other hand, isn't going to give you brownie points for it. Yes, in an LTR you stand the best chance to maintain those by being her "rock," but its a balancing act to not go from being a rock to an emotional punching bag for her or worse, a doormat.

Have self-respect. Sometimes an LTR just needs to end. No point in living in misery.

 

[Bokanovsky]

Seems like I have a stable full of unicorns.

You have a stable full of LTR's? What are you, a Saudi sheikh?

This is a very good visual and real example.

People teach others how to treat them.

Have you ever had a woman that also want to teach you how to threath her?

 

[jhonny9546]

Mutual trust, respect and excellent communication

Could you make real life examples?

 

[jhonny9546]

Me.
I'm a real life example.
But I'm not a PUA. If you want photo / video evidence, you can wait until your teeth fall out.

Yes, I mean, IRL, which are example of:
a) Mutual trust
b) Respect
c) Excellent communication

You can give "a" to a woman, that doesn't mean she will be faithful and do not cheat on you.
