Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Men generally are afraid of a wife who has more understanding than themselves.
Interestingly, one thing I've found that neither women nor men give up on is the idea of men as protectors. Even in cases where the woman is earning more, they'll often tell me that if there were a fire or something, they would expect the man to be the one to protect them.
What makes men indifferent to their wives is that they can see them when they please.
The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.
I think it's chauvinistic to think that women don't like to get scared.
With wives, men hide behind the air of bravado, which is basically a defence mechanism, I think. Clever creatures, women. Very clever.
This is the problem today. Men and women have switched places. The woman now acts more like the man.
I think that women are more sensitive to emotional infidelity than men. I think men are more scared of physical infidelity.
Men haven't changed their behaviour, so women somehow have to be strengthened to be able to ward off the men.
Men tend to feel threatened; women tend to feel guilty.
