Life as a man is competition, the reality of the world is the things that a man wants, other men want. That comes down to everything from money, jobs, shoes, cars and especially women. Depending on a mans level of stature can cause him to be very insecure. Because if his average ass is working at Starbucks, no woman will reply to him. Two things that most men find attractive is inexperience and agreement. Starting with inexperience, men like the idea of being a portal or gateway to a woman's experiences. For example, have you ever told somebody about a movie or about a song and they came back and absolutely loved it. It's quite hard to describe but it's something about showing somebody something new and seeing how much they've enjoyed it is a very pleasant feeling. A man also wants to feel like a role model to his woman, to have the opportunity to show and teach her things is another thing men enjoy. It's hard to pull these things off if a woman has been to so many different places, had a bunch of trauma and knows a bunch of people. Agreement is another thing men really like. Ideally a man is trying to find someone with similar life views and as somebody he can show the world to. Here's a secret hack, if a man is talking about something he's clearly passionate about, ask questions. It would make his day that you had a level of interest in something he really cares about, not only would it make him possibly feel less insecure but it gives him that chance to be a teacher and show you his world.
