What I've always known but finally learned

Ladies.. have you ever heard the saying "let a man be a man?" All my life I've heard this from my mom, my aunts, and every other woman in between but never did it click until the other day. A lot of us Millenial Women (copyrighted by DMW) have watched too many movies or read too many books and think that the only way a man can win us over is to ride in on his high horse and woo us with chocolates, flowers and pledges of his undying love so when they do little things to show they care we take them for granted and brush them away saying, "but that's not what I want.. that's not how I envisioned you sweeping me off my feet." Get over yourself. Maybe he's not the romantical type (and yes I know that's not a real word). Maybe his idea of being there for you isn't a spontaneous trip or phone calls every 5 minutes to tell you that he's thinking about, but we need to start paying attention to the details ladies. We want men to do things that show they care but we need to be willing to let them do it their own way. Let that man be himself.
