A real man is a number of things to different women but there are general core values that are similar.

Whether you meet her on a dating app or in real life, these core values are constant.

A woman wants a man who knows what he wants and is emotionally intelligent.

A guy who has a good relationship with his emotions, capable of controlling and expressing them, while exercising responsibility for himself and those he cares about.

A real man is a man she relies on for her safety, both physical and emotional.

In this day and age, the definition of a real man is increasingly confusing as it seems to keep changing depending on what political and social circles a person is a part of.

Notwithstanding, women today are similar to how they were eons ago when it comes to what they generally expect from a real man.

As long as you meet the core values of what women consider to be a real man, you have a good chance of matching with lots of women on a dating app.

This being said, her socioeconomic level is relevant.

Women have a tendency to gravitate to men who are doing better than they are in life.

It does you good to study her dating profile carefully, before messaging or matching.

Take a look at her accomplishments in her professional and social life.

For her, a real man is a guy who has had similar accomplishments in his professional and social life, and preferably better.

Women do feel that much more protected and safe when they know that the man they are dating is as accomplished or more accomplished than they are.

This keeps her from overshadowing him.

She doesn’t want to overshadow a man.

In her world, a real man is a man who keeps up with her financially, socially and emotionally.

This is why you need to take the time to study her dating profile.

A woman who is doing better than you on a socioeconomic level is less likely to look at you as a compatible match.

This doesn’t mean that you aren’t a real man.

It’s just that you aren’t her real man.

A real man for her matches or betters her socioeconomic level.

Don’t take it personally.

There are lots of women on dating apps who are at your level socioeconomically or lower.

As long as you represent the core values that women look for in a man, you are going to be a suitable match to the majority of women you see on a dating app.

As a rule of thumb, if you come across a dating profile of a woman whose life and accomplishments are far greater than what you have done in your life, it’s safe to say that you wouldn’t be her ideal definition of a real man.

There are always exceptions of course, but female nature is such that it tends to stick with what it has ascribed to since the dawn of man.

There has been a hierarchy in society since the dawn of man.

Even back then, women had a tendency to match with partners who were as accomplished as they were or more.
