What Men Can Do To Make Women Feel Safe

What Men Can Do To Make Women Feel Safe

Firstly, there's a crucial understanding that both partners can only do so much. At the end of the day, relationships are a 50-50 partnership. Each person must take responsibility for their own internal safety and work on past trauma that could be inhibiting you from feeling safe in your own body, let alone with someone else.

 

 

Regarding what MEN can do to support women feeling safe...

(and firstly, let's assume your partner is in her feminine energy and is open to receiving your efforts. If she is in her hyper-masculine energy, she might reject your attempts to provide safety, and that is her issue, not yours.)

 

 

  1. A woman in her feminine wants to feel provided for and protected. This doesn't mean you have to earn more money than she does, but you need to show up and do everything you can to put food on the table, provide a roof over her head, and take care of the necessities. This doesn't mean you HAVE to make more money than her. But if you don't want to get your ass off the couch to go to your job to support her basic necessities... then good luck on having a great s#x life buddy.
  2. Consider how you can make her feel protected physically, emotionally, and mentally. e.g., helping her get to bed on time, picking up her dry cleaning, locking up the house
  3. Calm communication. This is crucial for everyone, really, as men might feel stressed/defensive when their partner communicates aggressively. Calm communication is essential on both sides, BUT women are more likely to have a freeze response in stressful situations compared to the common fight or flight response in men.

 

 

For Men, biologically, you don't have the same ability to read body language as women do. Her ability to read body language is powerful. For example, if she says, "Yeah, that's fine," you might think the conversation is over, but if you were a woman, you'd know it's just begun. Start to learn her body language to drastically improve your relationship.
