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