She’s single, successful, independent, and fully capable of taking care of herself. But when it comes to dating, she says she wants a strong, masculine man who can take the lead.
There’s just one problem. When a man actually does lead, she doesn’t always like it. Suddenly, his confidence feels controlling, his decisiveness feels bossy, and she finds herself pushing back.
So what does wanting a “masculine man” actually mean?
In this episode of Sharing My Truth, Mel and Suzie unpack a listener’s dilemma that a lot of successful, independent women may relate to. Can you want a man who leads while still maintaining your independence? Where’s the line between masculine leadership and controlling behaviour? And if you constantly challenge the type of man you say you want, could you actually be getting in your own way?
We get into masculine and feminine dynamics, control, independence, modern dating, and why what we think we want in a partner doesn’t always match what we’re comfortable with when we actually get it.
Is he too controlling, or is she struggling to let someone else take the lead?
