Women adore really loving guys.

This speaks to their nurturing and affectionate side.

It makes them feel immensely good to be dating a guy that is really loving.

There is a general misunderstanding that is associated with guys that are really loving in relationships.

It’s this idea that a really loving guy is somehow weak to women.

That isn’t true.

It is not being really loving that makes a guy seem weak to a woman, it is when he is too agreeable and doesn’t set boundaries.

This has nothing to do with being really loving.

It has everything to do with how a woman determines how mentally strong a man is.

She doesn’t like dating a man that permits her to walk all over her.

This means that she can’t rely on him to protect and defend her, should that moment arise.

A woman’s biological instinct doesn’t change, in terms of the role she expects a man to play in a relationship.

Regardless of how far society has progressed technologically or with gender roles, women continue to have a biological imperative to be with a man that is a protector.

When a man is too agreeable and never sets boundaries with her, it makes her think that he doesn’t have what it takes to protect and defend her.

She loses respect for him.

Once a woman loses respect for a man, she is incapable of loving him or appreciating the love he gives her.

A really loving guy who so happens to be the archetype of a man who doesn’t speak his mind nor set boundaries, won’t succeed in fulfilling his woman emotionally.

She has already judged him as a weak man.

Instead of looking at his really loving behavior as a sign that he loves and appreciates her, she looks at it as further sign of his desperate attempt to win her over.

This really loving behavior doesn’t erase the weakness he has shown in the past in his inability to challenge her and set boundaries.

Rather, it exacerbates it.

Thereby, it isn’t that she dislikes him for being a really loving guy, it’s that she has already lost respect for him based on the weakness he has shown beforehand.

No matter what he does after the fact, she won’t give him much credit for it.

In her mind, he is doing it to evade losing her as his partner.

Conversely, a guy that is really loving, but has never been a pushover, is a different story.

Right from the beginning, he exhibited strength by not being too agreeable to everything she said, and in setting boundaries.

Once this strength was established, she developed a profound respect for him.

A respect that was further buttressed in how he went about showing his love for her.

Yes, he has moments where he is being really loving towards her, but he doesn’t let himself get carried away with this behavior.

He consistently exhibits a healthy balance of love and strength.

Whenever he does a really loving act for her, such as making her breakfast, he expects her to follow that up by returning the favor by doing a loving act for him.

This is where she is cooking him dinner that night or cleaning out his study that weekend.

A balance of love and strength is his mantra, and this maintains her respect for him, and keeps her from ever taking his love for granted.
