Ought to the Man Present for a Lady 100%? Or is 50/50 OK?
This query, or some variation of it, retains circulating in my fb group for Excessive Worth Female Girls.
On account of the truth that this query produces polarising dialogue, there’s all the time a small variety of ladies who inevitably insult different ladies for having 50/50 relationships.
I perceive. Some ladies have been via the wringer with the fallacious sorts of males.
After having these painful experiences, they assume that as a result of their ex boyfriend who requested for 50/50 used and abused them, that the issue is the 50/50 setup.
They assume that any man who suggests or needs a 50/50 setup is wanting to make use of a lady financially and sexually.
The Downside Is Not The 50/50 Setup, It’s THIS…
Once more, we see ladies settling for floor, primary considering.
Girls, the issue shouldn’t be within the 50/50 monetary setup.
The issue is in the truth that you don’t have the emotional dedication that you really want from the person.
And also you most likely don’t have it since you and this explicit man usually are not romantically in love, forming an unique bond collectively that’s inconceivable to interrupt.
Sure, these bonds exist. And so they can exist for you.
Nonetheless, when you’ve gotten sufficient unhealthy experiences with males on the market, you neglect the center of the problem.
You understandably turn out to be damage and pissed off, and begin pointing the finger on the fallacious issues, like cash or 50/50 monetary setups.
You can begin to consider that if a person doesn’t present 100%, then he’s not the person for you, and he’s a low worth man.
This isn’t true. A excessive worth man could possibly be in any type of monetary state of affairs and nonetheless be a excessive worth man!
(Very like an unfit or obese lady can nonetheless doubtlessly produce wholesome offspring, a financially struggling man can nonetheless supply assets and be resourceful.)
Everybody is aware of that girls need assets. All of us need assets.
See my article: Is It Good For Girls To Look For A Wealthy Man?
Nonetheless, after we single out being 100% financially offered for as the final word worth, and resolve that if a person is not keen to do it (or can’t do it) it have to be a deal breaker – then we’re doing ourselves a disservice by solely attracting, or in search of a transactional relationship.
And in that state of affairs, we aren’t in search of love.
So, if that’s your rule, then don’t anticipate finding love or emotional dedication. Anticipate finding financial assets and transactions, nothing else.
As a result of it’s only after we date for, and search for love, that we will appeal to a person’s full emotional dedication to us.
Emotional dedication begins with love and connection. Right here is an article I wrote on Girls Who Date for Sources VS Girls Who Date for True Love.
Do the quiz: how dedication pleasant is my man?
YOUR Guidelines for males equate to a scarcity of female radiance?
With the intention to appeal to love into your life, you need to BE love and embody love and radiance.
In the event you don’t, you miss alternatives to fall in love and discover emotional dedication.

Any lady who has guidelines for males to offer for her 100% shouldn’t be embodying love. Neither is she female. She’s simply received some guidelines!
That isn’t what female power is. Such a rule and expectation-based perspective is definitely referred to as closure and separation.
YOUR guidelines for the boys you date encourage extra disconnects with males. Certain, you may have some preferences, values and requirements.
However whenever you lead with this rule-based perspective, you create disconnects, and that’s all the time low worth!
And for those who assume that not having a rule that claims a person “ought to” present means you being “lower than” different ladies, I’d counsel you to assume once more.
That may be like a person saying: “If the ladies I meet don’t sleep with me on the primary date, then I’m lower than different males.”
Respect that your guidelines for a way males must be are YOUR guidelines. (They’re a dialog that you’re having with your self, not with a person).
You basically need one thing for your self, so as to minimise your individual vulnerability and threat. And having such an power routinely creates a sense of separation between you and any man.
You create a wall between your self and the divine connection that your coronary heart needs to expertise with a person.
There’s many ladies on the market who assume it’s empowering to have such a rule.
However what if it’s not really empowering?
What if it doesn’t make you a robust lady?
What if as a substitute, it’s routinely severing any intimacy, love and bonding you may obtain with each excessive worth man you meet?
The extra guidelines you’ve gotten for males, the much less radiant they may really feel you to be.
The much less guidelines you’ve gotten, and the extra you connect with males first, the extra radiant and mesmerising you may be.
I perceive this feels dangerous for you as a lady.
Guidelines make every little thing much less scary and fewer dangerous.
However you need to perceive that your guidelines include dangers too. What dangers do you assume your guidelines contain? Are you able to consider any?

Worth is available in many varieties within a dedicated relationship…
There are many totally different sorts of worth within a dedicated relationship the place the person and lady are in love with one another.
And this turns into very true when you’ve gotten kids.
Typically, I see ladies who’re single with out kids who’re very huge on this concept of being financially offered for 100% by a person.
After feeling fairly shocked on the insults and judgements thrown round at different ladies who’ve 50/50 relationships, we thought we’d deal with this matter and offer you a solution.
The objective shouldn’t be all the time to get to a particular quantity…
Let me first begin by saying that the goal is to not get to a particular quantity within the relationship. You don’t essentially need to goal for 50/50, 40/60, 90/10 or 100%.
It’s rather more essential to simply really feel the state of affairs and reply to how issues really are in actuality.
Every relationship enters its personal rhythm and while you would possibly begin off paying 50/50 payments with a person, chances are you’ll in some unspecified time in the future in your relationship journey find yourself being offered for 100%.
I’m offered for 100% by my husband. Nonetheless, it was not all the time like this. And I by no means did lead with some guidelines that acknowledged that it’s a man’s job to “shield” and “present”.
I desired to be protected and offered for, like many different ladies on the market.
Nonetheless, I didn’t worth my guidelines for a way he must be, earlier than I valued him and our connection.
My husband got here to this resolution to offer for me 100% (and extra), by himself. He selected it, and he all the time maintains that I “earned it” via incomes his belief. It was by no means a commerce.
It was by no means a rule, as a result of my guidelines for him wouldn’t be including any worth to him.
And that’s what a number of ladies don’t perceive, maybe as a result of they don’t need to perceive, or maybe as a result of they’ve by no means skilled real love with a person.
You need assets. Nonetheless, the actual assets you need comes from a person genuinely valuing you and being in love with you. Not from having your individual egocentric rule about how HE must be for you.
There are many different sorts of worth inside a relationship which have little to do with cash.
So:
Please don’t really feel “much less” than different ladies in the event that they’re judging you for have a relationship the place it’s good to pitch in financially.
Since my husband offers, I’m not going to let you know that you just’re fallacious if you would like him to offer. Actually, my husband and I each agree that for us, that’s the perfect path.
However that’s not the perfect path in all circumstances. People are made to adapt to their altering environments. To not power our guidelines onto others (and count on queen therapy endlessly in return).
Actually, in a world the place it’s barely attainable for 2 revenue households to afford life, anticipating males to pay for all of the dates proper from the beginning (when he barely is aware of you), may be increasingly delusional for a lot of.
Not all in fact, however many.
Plenty of ladies scoff at 50/50 not as a result of they already have a person who offers for them 100% (the truth is I’ve seen that a number of perpetually single ladies lie that they’ve this in our fb group, simply to set off different group members).
You probably have guidelines that males Should present 100%, You Are a…?
…Worth extractor.
In the event you give attention to what males must be and do for you, and you find yourself going right into a relationship with a person with this rule and “commonplace” for a way he must be offering for you financially 100% and no much less, you might be mainly being a value-extractor.
Because of this you’ll have no relationship altogether, since you set it up as a commerce from the beginning.
In the event you enter the courting world with guidelines {that a} man has to offer 100% (as that’s his “function” or “job”), then you’re a dealer.
You aren’t being female, opposite to what many ladies consider.
Connection drives female power. Not guidelines and trades.
Connection is the lifeblood of the female.
Once more, there’s nothing fallacious with being offered for 100% by a person.
However there will probably be bother for you and to your love life, for those who select to place guidelines and expectations on males, and consider that this perspective will really encourage males to really worth you.

The Cash & Your Guidelines Received’t Increase Your Kids
In the event you enter a relationship with a commerce in thoughts, which may offer you consolation and pleasure, however it can by no means fulfil your soul, and it’ll by no means increase your kids. No amount of cash will increase your kids for you.
(As a mom of three lovely boys, I’ve realised that regardless of having lots to stay on, it’s not the cash that’s elevating them. It’s who my husband and I’m, and our inside resourcefulness that’s elevating them.)
Resourceful dad and mom who’re in love increase kids.
THIS Is What “Requirements” Are Actually For!
You see, “requirements” are meant for ourselves. We are supposed to maintain ourselves to excessive requirements, at the beginning.
Why?
As a result of that is how we encourage others, particularly males, to do extra for US. That’s the excessive worth lady’s approach of getting every little thing she dreamed of from a person.
You might be imagined to be the one that holds your self to excessive requirements. That’s the one long-term, sustainable approach to have a excessive worth relationship.

To not point out that for those who as an individual are smaller than the cash that reaches your fingers, the cash won’t ever stick with you. It’ll all the time depart you in some way.
As my husband states on this new video above, whenever you’re courting, you shouldn’t simply assume that ANY man owes any lady safety or provision.
“Defend” and “present” is outwardly a person’s “function”, in accordance with some ladies.
However for those who field a person into a task, then not solely do you routinely usurp his freedom to be and expertise different elements of himself with you…
You’re basically beginning off the connection as a value-sucking leech who expects males to adapt to the function that you’ve got created for them.

Why does having guidelines for a way males undermine relationship success?
As a result of whenever you comply with your guidelines, you can’t have attunement.
Attunement and guidelines don’t work collectively in synergy.

Being low cost, being emotionally lazy or fearful and stuffed with expectations really holds you again from true connection to a person.
I do know courting is difficult generally.
I do know males have damage you up to now.
I do know there’s many males on the market with unhealthy intent.
And I’m sorry what you’ve been via with males on the market.
I perceive – as I’ve been damage, lied to, and cheated on myself (not by my husband).
Nonetheless, I additionally know, like many different ladies within emotionally dedicated relationships know, that there’s loads of fantastic, sensible and good-intentioned males on the market.
And these sensible and good-intentioned males would NEVER simply present financially for you from the primary date for the sake of it.
In addition they wouldn’t 100% financially present for you for the sake of a rule that you just picked up alongside the best way. They don’t seem to be that silly.
Good males will probably be testing the way you reply to their gestures to deal with you, and be beneficiant with you. They received’t simply hand their cash over like it’s nothing in any respect, irrespective of how “wealthy” they’re.
Actually, the extra actually wealthy and rich a person is (self made, moderately than getting fortunate with a wealthy daddy), the extra he cares about your intent round his cash.
It is because he labored arduous to earn it. He’s the actual deal, and he needs nothing lower than the actual deal in his lady, too.
So – be ready, as a result of sensible males will probably be testing you.
Typically, it’s the males with crippling low self-worth who want to manipulate others with cash. And these males provides you with cash in a approach that feels ‘off’, or unbalanced.
And guess what?
The extra determined you are feeling as a lady, the tougher it is going to be so that you can discern whether or not his gestures are off-balance.
Not solely that, however the extra determined you might be, the extra you need to take worth from males – the simpler it’s so that you can be manipulated.
So right here is my humble suggestion:
No matter your values are, no matter your requirements are, don’t accept floor considering and floor empowerment, as a result of floor considering blinds you to the reality.
Dig deeper. Take extra accountability for connecting to males and feeling the place he’s at.
1,000 of probably the most empowered guidelines for a way males SHOULD be for you, won’t ever improve your intelligence, sensitivity, attunement or relationship success.
Over To You!
