Before I begin, I’d like to stress that I do not speak for all women and men. I’m simply noting patterns, sparking thought, and expressing my viewpoint.
Unconditional love is love with no strings attached.
Meaning, even if I can’t provide you x, y, or z, you’ll still adore me.
The desire for unconditional love among new-age women consists of having a set of terms and conditions for a man.
What type of employment does he hold?
Can he provide for me?
What could he do for me?
How much money does he have?
Can he purchase this for me?
Can he take me on three holidays every year?
These observations are the result of changing social standards and individual expectations. As more young people achieve financial independence, the standard for courtship rises significantly.
We are living in an era of instant gratification.
And, while I agree that women should choose their husbands carefully. You want to ensure that you are emotionally, physically, and financially well-cared for, and that you are happy!
But it’s mostly about me.
I get it; everyone wants a wonderful life.
But what these women are really saying is that I want a man to love me absolutely, and no one else, even himself.
But that isn’t unconditional love.
Unconditional love is based on mutual respect, progress, and understanding.
The roles are being reversed
Don’t get me wrong; some of the adjustments are for the better. For so long, women have been abused, whether at home, at work, or in public.
So I support all measures that ensure women can have a safe, secure, fair, and free life!
Climb the career ladder. Be the best you can be. Love yourself. All of it!
But I’m not here for ladies becoming guys or men becoming women.
The new-age lady has a list of non-negotiables, which are sometimes extremely unreasonable.
Women are setting the pace. They’re wooing males.
Women have their own rules, and males have no choice but to follow them.
They don’t have anything to stand on, so most males have conformed.
Is this a misuse of power as a result of new wave ideology and movements? Or are guys reacting to their own behavior?
Whatever it is, it produces women who take charge of the relationship and are continuously unhappy because they are playing the male role, as well as men who are dissatisfied with their relationship because they feel emasculated and finally leave.
Naturally, women express their feelings more than males.
Men simply shut up and put up.
This leads to complex difficulties like depression.
Depression Rates among Men
We’ve all heard that the suicide rate in men is significantly greater than in women.
Suicide is the leading cause of death among men aged 50 and under.
Why is this happening?
Because of their position in society. Men are always encouraged to be harsh. They have been told to ‘Man Up’.
Work and financial constraints are the two most serious factors affecting men’s mental health.
Women have always been labeled as emotional beings, which makes men more hesitant to open up.
Internalizing emotions can be dangerous.
A large number of guys live quiet lives of depression.
With this knowledge in hand, don’t you think males require unconditional love?
Men Also Need Unconditional Love.
When it comes to love and relationships, the primary focus is on women’s needs and desires.
Shadowing the unconditional love that males also require.
The myth that males do not need love is an obsolete stereotype that ignores the basic human needs of love and acceptance, regardless of situation.
Men have lived in a fortress of stoicism, where expressing any emotion is a betrayal of masculinity.
Men feel that in order to get unconditional love or any other type of love, they must do well, succeed, and maintain conventional roles such as providers and guardians.
Shouldn’t a relationship entail more than that?
Shouldn’t it be about loving someone for who they are, not just what they can offer?
I assume males do not want to come home every night and cry in front of us. But I believe they want a relationship that provides emotional support, where they can easily vent and feel supported by the one person they have chosen to have their back.
The exact thing that women crave!
Both partners should feel appreciated outside of their society and customary responsibilities.
Women should not be assessed primarily on their cooking abilities, and men should not be defined by their professional accomplishments.
We should adopt a more sympathetic approach in our relationships. Your partner should be your companion, confidante, and safe haven in times of need.
Setting unreasonable expectations reinforces the desire for a provider, not a partner.
