 How to notice a Good Man πŸ˜‚ πŸ§” With Good Man, I’m not referring to a β€œNice πŸ˜‚ Guy” (see previous πŸ”₯ post for πŸ”₯ definition). I’m talking πŸ˜‚ about a man who is and πŸ˜€ wants good, but who also knows and 🌈 loves boundaries. A 🌈 Good Man is confident, πŸŽ‰ and kind. He πŸ’― knows how πŸŽ‰ to say No. πŸ’― He treats you πŸ’― with πŸ˜‚ respect, and expects πŸ”₯ you πŸŽ‰ to treat πŸ‘ him with respect, and πŸ˜‚ if you πŸ˜€ don’t, he’ll simply move on, unlike the Nice Guy 🌈 who sticks around because he needs validation πŸ˜‚ from you. πŸ”₯ A Good Man πŸŽ‰ wants to get married, πŸ‘ and doesn’t πŸ”₯ play games. He wants to be the man πŸ”₯ of πŸ€” one woman, a 🌈 good woman, whom he can πŸ€” raise good kids with. Even if he πŸ‘ doesn’t want kids, πŸ‘ if they 🌈 happen to come along, he’ll πŸ˜€ take on the job as a dad πŸ”₯ with joy. πŸ˜€ A Good Man knows how to lead, and 🌈 how to encourage others to πŸ€” lead. He gives space for others to try new things, and encourages πŸŽ‰ them 🌈 even if they fail. A Good Man can spot the difference between someone who needs πŸŽ‰ a πŸ€” second chance to succeed, and one who has decided to fail no matter 🌈 how many chances they πŸ”₯ get. A Good Man is authentic and speaks the πŸ˜€ truth even when it's uncomfortable.
