3 Things We Can Learn From Rom/Com Men

Many of the men in Rom Coms have similar patterns that I think we can learn from

So here are a few things we can learn from Rom Com Men

They Progress as a Character (the journey)

  • They usually show a journey of growth for the men in Rom Coms
  • They start to look at themselves differently based on the new woman entering their life and this gives them an outside perspective
  • We need to be able to look at ourselves objectively and move on a journey
  • If we aren't intentionally growing, we are declining
  • Sometimes in the struggle is where the growth happens

They Know Their Feelings (even if they struggle with them)

  • Men in Rom/Coms are pretty good at knowing how they feel
  • Women want men who  know their emotions
  • We must know our emotions as men or we will be in danger of letting them get out of control and hurt us
  • The lie that men aren't emotional is a myth
  • Men are better men when they are connected to their emotions

Have a Good Friend (someone to talk to)

  • Rom/Com men usually have another man who they talk with about stuff
  • We have to prioritize friendships and seek to find people to connect with
  • Men who encourage each other for better and not bring each other down
  • You may need to recognize bad friendships and prune them
  • Many men don't have close friends because they are busy and because of fear
