Male attention is nothing to strive for
One thing I have noticed really well, is that a lot men have absolutely no respect for women. A man is either going to love you or use you, and while love is a word that is used too loosely, you cannot love a person that you never really took the time to get to know. This is something most people, don’t do WITHOUT compensation for their time. A lot of relationships do not happen unless a woman is first opening up her legs. A lot of things that men do towards women, even down to basic kindness, can sometimes be done with a hidden agenda.
Another big problem with making men the measuring stick to women's worth is that most men are not looking at a woman with intentions to love her, it's usually about sex and there will always be an abundance of that. In my healing chamber, I wrote about how I never really knew what sincere interest looked like coming from a man. Let the world tell it, a man "in love" is supposed to worship the ground a woman walks on and constantly chase behind her. The more a man is willing to do and how much money he is willing to spend on us is now the measurement of how much that man "likes" you.
Yet, on the same hand, men will fly a woman out, take her on vacation, get his fill of her, and have her number blocked as soon as they get to the airport to go back home. Acts of lust and the lack of discipline have always been the portrayed actions of a man who likes a woman. It has gotten to the point that anything less has been taught to be looked at as someone who's playing games, isn't interested, and stringing you along.
This is why it is important to learn things from a Godly perspective instead of listening to the foolishness that self-serving people call “wisdom”.
Male centered and sexual attention has always been viewed as a good thing and something that gives women validation and a sense of superiority. But I have also noticed that a lot of the same men who openly lust over a woman are usually the same men who are openly disrespecting and speaking against their behavior. For example, I came across a guy online who quoted a woman's post where she asked when men never want to be platonic friends with women.
---> the guy's response, "Because women are boring, unoriginal, uninteresting, have no opinions of their own, and worst of all, just f--- annoying."
When I clicked on his page, he's one of those "pill poppers"... red, blue, orange, yellow, etc. At the time of me seeing this tweet, his pinned tweet was posted screenshots of his messages with women saying that he settles for nothing less than his place for the first date. In this tweet, he said that his body count is over 200. His page is dedicated to teaching other men how to get women, with the agenda being to have sex with good looking women. Not to love, not to care for, but to get what they want and go on to the next attractive and willing woman they can find.
I came across another man who posted about and had other men chiming in on how fine a girl was from Instagram. When I see stuff like this, I usually go look on the guy's page to see what his mentality looks like surrounding women. He is of the same mind and had a post saying that men start off as being the good guys and then they realize that most women just deserve d--k and disrespect.
This is the type of men that women have built their confidence and self-worth around.
