I’m a very independent woman and have always supported myself and have done everything myself. I’ve been dating a guy that is kind of old fashioned and loves being the traditional provider and feeling manly and that his woman needs him. How do I make him feel “masculine” I guess you could say and make him feel needed?
Every guy is different so the answer depends on the guy. But I will say this, everyone needs to feel needed, man or woman, and a guy who doesn't feel needed in a relationship won't be around for long. Guys show their love by doing things for their woman. Let him do things for you.
By the way, in case you hadn't noticed, the "guy" who said he should take you as you are is not a guy at all. She's been pretending to be on on guy for years but she herself has admitted she's a woman. Just fyi.
You can't.
If he's dating an independent woman, then his "manliness" is either going to make itself apparent because he knows he's manly and doesn't need you to show him.
If he is whining about how you don't make him feel manly, he has no hope of being "manly" with you. By no fault of your own.
Because if he doesn't just do what he needs as an "old fashioned" guy, and he instead whines about being emasculated by you, he's looking for a mommy to take care of him. Not an independent woman.
Ask him about his original accomplishments in which he took steps to independently achieve his goals without any help from others and how as a team the two of you can discuss thoroughly each other's hidden talents and grow stronger
