A man reflects on why he's been single, discussing what he's looking for in a partner and how trust shapes his approach to relationships. He talks about masculinity, femininity, and what traditional traits mean to him.
We want a man who acts like a man, who's manly, who takes care of things. I don't need you to kill an alligator with your hands. But I need to feel so feminine around you because you are so masculine that I can turn my brain off because I know you've got it. I trust you. I trust your intellect. I trust your character. I trust that I can close my eyes and follow you blindly, and I'm going to be happy about where I end up. That's what it's about. We go out. I don't have to use my brain. I don't have to order the whole thing for us. Take me, plan the thing. You tell me where we're going, and we're all set. It's so lost on us. Yes. Toxic masculinity. That's not good. But we need masculinity.
