A Grown-Boys #1 Fear!

[@Katrica670]

"Every grown boy is afraid of a woman with a vision, boundaries and standards!"

[@hapshabyahyisrael9810]

A man respects a woman who will not be used, who won't compromise, whe demands respect, who holds fast to her standards, who can walk awake with her morals intact no matter the age.

When my ex said he was done with the relationship, I asked him why? He said, “ If a person don’t love you the way you want them to love then it’s a problem.” It is a problem if you tell them what your love language is more than once and he doesn’t want to do it. Then that’s not a you problem. That’s a his problem! You’re not ready for a relationship sir! You’re only looking for your needs. A grown boy is looking to be served, a grown man is to be of service!

6:03 It’s sad that so many men are basically waiting for women to lead. I think a man should already want to grow and be making progress, the woman is just there to help along the way and vice versa. We don’t want to be mama to a grown boy.

[@Junegermaine]

Factual!!! I cannot raise him, lead him, teach him how to love me and submit to him!!

[@TwilaB0721]

Met a very handsome man at the gym. We went to a coffee shop for a date. I smelled his breath across the table. He wanted a kiss, I gave him hints, he finally caught the hint; instead of taking my advice he got mad and never called me again. Oh well, I don't want a man with bad breath, nasty looking teeth, tongue, gums, or poor body hygiene. Right, we are all a projects, but I personally don't want to deal with too many issues. I have 3 adult daughters, I chose not to raise a grown boy.

[@staciadavis3714]

That is a dang gone shame!!!

[@my2bears]

I noticed a lot of decent looking men have bad breath!!! I tried to hint this to a guy and he didn’t get it! Uggg just brush your teeth!😂

[@bonniefay933]

What girls were taught in the '50s and '60s by their fathers were to take "mad money" on a date, in case you get mad at the boy and need a cab drive home. That's what you need, women. Have "mad money" in the bank and a plan in case you need to end a relationship and get yourself set up in a new place, and always be dating several men at the same time (options) until you have a proposal and a ring from one. So when a guy does you dirty, you have options AND "Mad money." Then you won't be afraid to walk away if you're not getting the treatment you require.

[@tinyking11]

Preach! This is how I live my life, until I’m in a committed relationship I’m going to date multiple men. Also I have my own money. 🔥

[@bonniefay933]

@@LA-wv7gf Yes, you're right! Don't take yourself off the market. It takes a lot of time to really get to know a person. So don't allow exclusive dating until much later. Don't have sex, which in a woman's mind constitutes a relationship, but not for men. They don't see sex as a big deal. If you DON'T hold off on these things, you're always sorry later that you didn't.

[@abenigold6219]

[@mizzf3ntr3zz]

Your wife was different but you were different as well. You could have moved on from her and found a woman who accepted your grown boy ways...I think a lot of women are holding on to grown boys hoping that they can can grow and evolve like you did for your wife. 😢

Tony you saved me from bad relationships thank you sir

So funny, I had one tell me....".well I have other options so I have to do me"....I said I understand that u only have 1 life so dont wait on me. He then asked after silence, "why arent u attracted to me?"....lol...I was so turned off. He ruined it for himself, thankfully.

[@MissPetrina1]

You are absolutely right and I have said something similar. Even when men sleep around they are trying to in a certain way protect their hearts so that they don't attach to any one girl. It's funny and ironic because men are commanded to love wives as Christ loved the church but many men are so punkish nowadays and have been throughout history where they seek to preserve self, seek to protect self in the wrong ways, when often, there is nothing to protect themselves from except themselves! The one who cares and is invested the most is absolutely the one with the least power and it seems the pursuit of every man is his warped sense of power in everything he does. He wants to have and maintain his idea of power. And yet women have been looking for love with these people? Thank you for giving away the game.

[@Katrica670]

"Are you gonna just lay down there in fear and let him walk all over you like a doormat, or are you gonna stand on your needs speak up on what you need,deserve and see if he's man enough to grow?"

[@BmoreBetterNOW]

I think that we need to remember a few fundamentals. 1) men need to know & love God FIRST - men were never designed to be restrained by women but by God & God has never need a woman’s help. So what Tony is speaking to is the failed state of man - the tendencies towards corner cutting and relational laziness. The further away from God a man is the less likely ANY woman is going to get through to him. I don’t care if she could be The One because he is not and can’t be The One. In this day and age we need to listen to people from a filter of (is this biblical)? 1) a man has to know God & the Holy Spirit be working on him AND AND 2) a woman has to know God and be trying to uphold Godly values … Those two individuals come together + compatibility & you can actually have something.

[@mrsjade30]

It’s just a matter of WHEN is a grown Boy Ready to change…sadly, most men choose not to grow because they really are tooooo comfortable. I know this because my Mom is living this life with my dad-unfortunately, and my mom is that woman that didn’t leave. She thinks it’s really “true love” just cuz she’s the ride or die chick. 😿 I am blessed to God my marriage is completely opposite of my mom and dad’s. ❤ God knew, and was looking out for me. 💯‼️ Respect yourself FIRST ☝🏽 and foremost, Ladies. It’s their loss, never yours. Don’t hesitate to leave. Life is too short to be miserable with One person forever 😂🙄 your KING is out there. 👑

Blessings to you and your family Tony! We appreciate you being a stand-up man, husband, father, and example. It’s not easy, but worth it!

youre right about the role playing. I have done this to practice my " i am no longer interested in pursuing this connection" speech to people. I feel better sating it instead of ghosting and being weird because i know how i feel when that happens to me, but there was a time i realized i was actually doing it too to the men i wasnt interested in. thats when i started practicing my communication in this situation

Wonderful! It’s hard when you go through moments of self doubt for standing your ground. Then you speak about being willing to let go and know something else is for you. My ex did not consider me in his future because he didn’t know my money ie; my 401K retirement or my salary. I stood my ground and lost him, but listening today I didn’t lose.

[@southerngurl.speaks4901]

You broke the whole code with this one. It always comes back to the same thing you've been saying for years. LOL Stand on your standards. We really do teach people how to treat us. You broke down the psychology of a man and the mindset. You know the games and ways some men manipulate so women won't complain or address issues just to be in control with no accountability. Thank you for sharing your wife's stance and exalting her due to her stance and not accepting your Bad Boy behavior. You attribute her all the time with the catalyst for your change. You are saying that out of all the easy women who let you do whatever you chose your wife because she didn't accept your crumbs and challenged you the most. How she would remove herself and in turn it motivated you to become a better man. We are going to encounter men like this yet you describe that we are worth the investment if we set a standard to be invested into. Blessings to you and your family. I hope you do Dallas soon we love and support you when you come. Your work here is important. Don't get weary in well-doing. Galatians 6: 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
