Nowadays, with technology flourishing, we have the opportunity to learn about mindsets from all over the world. Each country has its own unique culture, but have you noticed the prevalent battle between men and women globally?

I enjoy delving into different cultures and discussing human relationships. I’ve always been intrigued by the mindset of humanity, especially what distinguishes men ♂️ from women ♀️. I often pause at the comments on videos where individuals take sides, whether it’s men against women or vice versa.

There are numerous platforms where men and women engage in heated debates, each claiming to be in the right. The latest video I saw featured men inviting women who work on OnlyFans to their podcast, aiming to prove that women are all "easy" and wouldn't accept a man who works at McDonald's into their lives because they're attracted to men's money, while implying that men would readily accept a woman working at McDonald's. And their podcasts continued in this manner with different women from OnlyFans.

I found their approach rather dishonest because I believe that you can't expect traditional values like marriage, loyalty, and respect from women who have chosen such a career path.

I’m not here to pass judgment; everyone is free to live their lives as they see fit. However, I want to emphasize that if a man ♂️ with deep values is seeking a life partner on OnlyFans, where individuals sell their bodies like commodities, it seems naive or indicative of his true intentions. Seriously, if you’re looking for a woman to marry, seek someone with similar deep values to yours, but you’re unlikely to find her on OnlyFans.

On the flip side, women often complain on the opposite platform about men being dishonest and untrustworthy. But is this portrayal accurate? Let's explore.

Firstly, it’s important to recognize that honesty goes beyond mere words; it’s reflected in behavior, habits, and energy. You should place your trust in people’s actions rather than their words. For example, if a man meets his wife at a strip club where she works as a stripper by choice, any later complaints about her being dishonest or unfaithful might not be valid. He knew her profession from the outset, indicating her values implicitly.

Similarly, if a woman complains about a man who lied to her or cheated on her, but she entered the relationship while he was secretly cheating on his ex-girlfriend, or if he makes disrespectful jokes about women, she shouldn’t consider herself an exception to his behavior. Is the concept clear enough?

Men ♂️ and women ♀️, let’s not be naive and let go of the hate! There are plenty of men and women of high value out there; it just depends on what you choose to focus on. If you believe that all women are after money, you’ll attract that type of woman. Similarly, if you believe that all men cheat, you’ll attract that type of man. And if you have low self-esteem and lack values, don’t expect to attract someone of high value.

But here’s the good news: if you want to, you can change. Everyone has the potential to change if they truly want to. I’ve personally undergone significant changes in the past few years because I was committed to growing and becoming a better woman ♀️.

It’s important to note that as you change, don’t be surprised if people around you start to drift away; it’s a natural consequence when you no longer share common ground. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who share your values and outlook on life. So, let’s focus on personal growth and attract positive influences into our lives.

So men and women are indeed different by nature, but they are similar to puzzle pieces designed to compliment each other. They are meant to evolve together, cherish one another, and ultimately unite, rather than engage in conflict.

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Genesis 2:24
