About Guys and Their Status

Men define themselves and their personal worth in the world mostly by their job or career. That is coming from their old-brain and is their ego (i.e. hunter-superiority) being expressed. So let him brag about his job and imagined importance. It may reveal how inferior and insecure he really feels. And besides, he will think he is impressing you with his importance. Just listen, nod, and learn a lot about his true value to you as a possible mate. But don't believe much of what he says. He is just telling "hunting stories" and strutting like a peacock doing his mating dance. This is just common male ancient behavior coming from male DNA. The more educated and socialized a man is, the less this type behavior occurs.

Women are more interested in how a man understands and treats them. Deep in women's limbic system part of their old brain there are always some questions about every new man. Even in young women not interested in making a family, the DNA programming carries these questions about survival:

• "Is he willing and capable of taking care of me and the kids when we need him?"

• "Does he have the skill and resources to make a good life for us?"

• "Will he be safe and comfortable to live with?"

• "Will he hang around after he gets what he wants?"

These questions will never be asked openly, but they are there in the woman's subconscious mind every minute of the relationship because survival is at stake. Therefore, in women's DNA there is a high priority placed on the quality of all relationships.
