7 Things Modern Women Offer That Men Truly Don’t Want
You can blame “toxic masculinity” all you want, but men don’t need women to “out-man” us.
Today’s modern woman struts around like she’s got it all figured out—fed lies by a society that rewards delusion over reality.
We’re told women are “strong”, “empowered,” and “independent,” but deep down, none of that aligns with what men truly want.
Men don’t really care about the bullet points modern women are peddling. We’re hardwired for different values, and it’s about time someone laid it out on the table, no sugarcoating.
Here are seven things modern women offer that men don’t want.
Independence With a Side of Arrogance
Every woman on the planet wants to tell you how “independent” she is, as if that’s supposed to make men fall to their knees.
Independence is fine, but when it becomes arrogance? That’s a hard no.
Women throw their independence around like it’s some kind of weapon: “I don’t need no man!” Great. Then don’t be shocked when men hear that and think, “Okay, we don’t need you either.”
The vast majority of men want a woman who is supportive and emotionally available, but independence mixed with arrogance pushes men away instead of drawing them closer.
Men want a partner, not a competitor. Independence doesn’t mean “I can dominate everything.” True independence comes with humility and grace, not a chip on the shoulder.
Men don’t want to be dragged into a power struggle every single day. The moment a woman turns her independence into a pedestal, she’s done. She’s lost touch with what men actually value: peace.
This isn’t just speculation. Dr. Helen Smith, author of Men on Strike, argues that the rise of hyper-independence in women has contributed to the decline in male commitment.
According to Smith, “Men are simply opting out of relationships where they feel devalued, criticized, or dominated.”
