This is the kind of men I want... #podcast #men #kindness

[0:00]Somebody asked me what kind of man I want, and I think my answer surprised them because it had nothing to do with the things most people lead with. I do not care about tall or rich or perfect. I want a man who makes me feel safe, not physically safe. I can handle myself emotionally safe. The kind of safe where I never have to wonder if he is going to disappear when things get complicated or use silence to make me feel small when he is upset with me. A man who communicates even when it is uncomfortable because he values our connection, more than he values his own comfort in that moment. I want someone who chooses me deliberately every single day, who stays gentle when the world is not being gentle with him. Who actually listens when I talk, not to form a response, but to genuinely understand what I am trying to say. Who sees my emotions as something worth honoring, not something to be managed or minimized. And I do not need expensive or impressive, I need kind and consistent and present. Someone who feels like the one place in this world where I can finally just exhale.
