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