What is a ‘good man’? Simply speaking, he is someone who would never let you down. Someone you would feel lucky to be with. Someone who would always put your well-being above his.
A good man differs greatly from a narcissist, as his deep-rooted character allows you to transcend his physical attributes. Being his partner isn’t a ravaging inferno in the forest; it is a calming, soothing sea breeze on a moonlit night.
“All that glitters isn’t gold.” This statement resonates with the realization that narcissists initially appear attractive. They would charm you with your feet, similar to Matthew Mcconaughey in Ghosts of Girlfriends’ Past. They only care about their own self-interests and will leave you dry when their own desires are fulfilled. They care only for the time it takes you to comply with them, then they leave, leaving another broken heart.
But why do you need a good man? The answer is straightforward: you deserve respect and special treatment, and who better to do so than someone who possesses the following qualities?
1. A good man is equal to a good listener.
He would always listen to you, regardless of his interest in that particular topic. He would listen, and listen attentively, because he considers you an equal, with equal weight to your words, which are to be respected. He might not agree with your words, but he would listen to them and discuss them with you.
2. Modesty is his strongest suit.
A good man is modest to his core. His achievements matter a tremendous deal to him, but he doesn’t believe in beating his own drum. He would rather focus on your achievements and be interested in yours.
3. A viable support system.
A good man would support you in both your good and bad times. He would not look out for his own skin but would rather protect and support you, because he would know that a relationship can only work if one of them knows that the other will support her, no matter what. Even if he doesn’t like something, he would support her, as there is no ‘I’ in ‘TEAM’.
4. Always beg for forgiveness.
He would never shirk away from apologizing. One of the major differences between a narcissist and a good man is that a good man knows when he makes a mistake and would willingly apologize for his mistake, whereas a narcissist would consider that an insult. A good man knows his self-esteem won’t go down due to an apology.
5. It wouldn’t be an emotional burden.
In a period when emotional struggles are someone’s biggest fears, a good man would never burden someone emotionally. He would never draw on someone’s emotional strings and never play with their feelings. He would always be in touch with his own sentiments and emotions, never hesitating to voice them out while also taking care of yours.
A good man earns your trust. You willingly trust him. He would follow you to the jaws of hell and would never let go of your trust, for that is one of his most cherished possessions.
There are a lot of other qualities that make a man ‘good’. Individually, every woman has her own criterion of what makes a man ‘good’. But what is universal is the fact that a ‘good’ man would make sure you smile more than you cry, for you are his world.
