Why Do Women Struggle With The Golden Rule?
We’ve all heard of the golden rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It seems like a pretty basic concept, and it’s not that difficult to employ. So why is it, then, that many women struggle to apply it in their relationships?
The vast majority of men interested in dating women are taught something very early on: You have to be conscientious of women’s feelings. While men will very often rib one another and use rougher language with each other, they’re told that they can’t be so callous if they ever hope to woo a woman. They come to understand that in order to both charm a woman and keep her around, they have to treat her well, with thoughtfulness, gentleness, and affection. Not every man takes this advice seriously, but the wise ones do – the ones who are lauded as being “good men.”
