If you are American you know about the womens liberation movement. Now this movement brought women to a level of power that is equal to men. Women now can get the same jobs pretty much as men as seen in the business world and women have the same legal rights. But women's idea of a confident man hasn't changed since the stone age. Now back in the old days women were seen as less then men and were treated differently. That is where chivalry came from, holding doors etc. The fantasy of treating a woman like a princess (yes it is a fantasy that men have) came from the times of the great depression when money was not around at all. Men dreamed of taking a girl out to a restaurant and buying her flowers. This fantasy is still held by many men, However times have changed a lot. The breed of men have changed. Now instead of keeping our manliness we are influenced by the media to act more wimpy and today we are more wimpy than ever. Romance is an idea that is flaunted around too much these days. Girls who are your number ones are girls who respect you and do stuff for you, are the only people who deserve romance. if a woman doesn't respect you for who you are then she doesn't deserve you. If there's any thing you should take from this post it's this. You can't argue with this at all because it much sense. You have to put value in yourself to have others put value in you. Confidence is not only essential for living a happy life but is also key when building relationships. I'm not flaunting the idea that you should be an ******* but you i won't let you believe that you should be a door mat that you let women walk all over you. to quote somebody i don't really know "Mack from your mind not from your waistline"
