WHY WOMEN SECRETLY WANT AN ASSERTIVE MAN

assertive man

When I chat with my girl friends, or guy friends with leading ladies in their lives — I have found that one thing remains a constant; the desire for assertiveness.

Whether it’s the girl wanting the guy to be more take charge in nature OR the guy recognizing that his girl wants him to be more of a take charge kind of guy — the preference for assertion continues to soar.

But why? Why do us women want more of an assertive man? In today’s post I’m shining the light on this secret desire and explaining why us girls feel a ways.

FORGIVE & NEVER FORGET

forgive never forget

I know that they say forgiveness is necessary to cleanse the soul,

But I don’t think they considered that to forgive AND forget is a whole other battles of its own.

To forget would mean letting go of the important lesson you needed to learn,

it’s what stops us from making the same mistake twice,

because the last lesson actually burned.

In the way that a chubby finger touches a hot stove when kept there for much too long,

from then on you remember the importance of right vs. wrong.

See right there? That’s the beauty in never forgetting hard times you experience,

I call it the kick in the ass everyone needs to avoid yet another oversight… period.

Basically, what I’m trying to say is that one should never forget although forgiveness is key,

it’s what truly makes this world go round and if you haven’t figured that out yet,

I pray to God, someday you might truly see.

“Forgive, and never forget”, it’s what I’ll say till I’m old and possibly gray,

I pray I remember these sentiments if ever mind starts to slip away.

CLOSING THE CHAPTER

closing the chapter

I’m closing the chapter on this“, is what many say when things have come to an end,

filled with rage and regret till they’re opening a new section again.

But why is it that what caused the chapter to end,

is never really discussed.

It’s my belief that in order to stop the continuous cycle,

we should probably hit a few points first.

For starters, the key is recognizing,

you may be the reason the story always runs short.

If we’re being frank — I don’t think you ever quite learned,

to let others work through who you are at your worst.

It’s been excuse after excuse,

to rationalize why no one ever gets it.

But if we’re being honest here,

it’s you who never lets them.

You’re guarded in the worst way,

and try as you might it has a way of peaking through.

I’m not sure why others ever let you believe,

it was always them and never you.

It was never that you were hard to love

although it’s the story you always told.

For once,

take responsibility for why this very last chapter closed.

It takes self recognition to realize,

your heart is the one that needs working on.

Don’t get me wrong — it is sure to sting,

when you pull the bandaid back of old wounds forcing yourself to face it all.

However this time when you work through it,

and decide you’re closing this last chapter for good.

I believe you’ll be thankful that this time,

this chapter will finally close as it should.

 

To fresh starts and closing the chapter the right way,
