It has more to do with your actions than his.<\/strong><\/p>\n What does it take to get a man to truly commit and want only you? It\u2019s a question I\u2019ve been asked more times than I could ever quantify.<\/p>\n What men desire most is a woman who inspires them to be their best self. Being that woman is a much different mindset than what most women typically do these days.<\/p>\n So what\u2019s the major error that trips women up? It\u2019s their focus. Instead of focusing on the feelings and experience they create for the man, the woman fixates on her own wants, her own worries, her own fears. And amidst this completely self-absorbed mindset consumed by what she wants, it\u2019s no wonder that she\u2019s unable to hook a man\u2019s interest in a significant way, one that goes beyond just hooking up.<\/p>\n Sure, that woman might cook him dinners, perform in bed, and tell him how much she likes him, but none of that stuff penetrates a man\u2019s psychology on a deep and meaningful level.<\/p>\n Forget about just getting a commitment. When you really understand and master the art of tapping into the deep parts of a man\u2019s psyche, he will want to move mountains to possess you.<\/strong><\/p>\n Men don\u2019t start out there when they first meet a woman, though. She needs to reach him at that level by recognizing his ambitions, his fears, his motivations, his \u201cmission\u201d in life and where he ultimately wants to \u201cwin.\u201d<\/p>\n Here are four ways to reach a man deeply and make him want to commit and devote himself fully to you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Understand: choice is everything<\/strong><\/p>\n I have a confession to make, when I was revising this article to get it ready for publishing, it was three ways to make him commit\u2026 not four.<\/p>\n The original article came off cold, harsh, and even depressing because I had left out the most important element of all. So in this revised version, I made sure to convey the most important piece of the puzzle right at the beginning.<\/p>\n Who you choose is by far the most important factor in all relationships. <\/strong><\/p>\n So one of the most important ways to make a guy commit is to get really good at understanding the reality of relationships, love, and your specific guy.<\/p>\n In my personal life, I meet all sorts of people. Some people are easy and fun to be around\u2026 I can spend hours with them, talking about things, laughing about things, and just genuinely enjoying their company. Being around them doesn\u2019t require effort and I don\u2019t want anything from them. I would have just as much fun driving in the car with them and chatting as I would doing something \u201cexciting.\u201d<\/p>\n On the other hand, there are people who I meet that immediately make me feel uncomfortable and defensive. I feel like I have to constantly be on my toes, choose my words carefully, and being around them is far from pleasurable.<\/p>\n Between those two extremes, there are all sorts of people who fall somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n As a writer who talks about dating and relationships, what has always amazed me when it comes to relationships is how people completely disregard compatibility. They describe what it\u2019s like to be with their guy and it almost sounds like they\u2019re talking about their arch-enemy\u2026 there is no comfort, no trust, no compatibility.<\/p>\n Sometimes the relationship started out well and then over time disintegrated into something that resembles resentment and abuse rather than love or respect. Sometimes the relationship was never good to begin with but the woman wants me to show her \u201crelationship magic\u201d to \u201cmake it work.\u201d This is what I equate to trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.<\/p>\n Personally, I needed to date around and experience several relationships before I had a good understanding of what I really wanted, valued, and what resonated with me in a relationship. In my late teens and early twenties, for example, I knew that I wanted a girl that had a hot, fit body and a beautiful face.<\/p>\n Now, in my thirties, I realize how much I value having a woman who really \u201cgets\u201d me\u2026 a woman that I can talk to for hours every day and never feel bored\u2026 a woman who I can laugh with for hours and hours on end\u2026 a woman that I know how to be there for and who knows how to be there for me.<\/p>\n It took me a while to figure that out. When I realized it, I mentally revisited my past relationships and realized something very important that I want to pass along to you\u2026<\/p>\n When I think of relationships that didn\u2019t work out for me in the past (ones where I wanted things to work out and I got dumped), I realize that the woman I was with at the time was never going to be that woman with me. Even if she wanted it to work.<\/p>\n I can clearly see now, years later after all the emotion and attachment is completely gone, we would never have reached that level of intimacy that is ultimately valuable to me in a relationship.<\/p>\n I couldn\u2019t see past my attachment to those relationships, though, or past my blind desire to make things work because I didn\u2019t want to fail, I didn\u2019t want to be rejected, and I didn\u2019t want to lose someone.<\/p>\n All those emotions have nothing to do with love or compatibility. They\u2019re just fear, ego, and a false sense of identifying with relationship success.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Real relationship success is not about making a relationship with someone work when, at your core, you and he are ultimately incompatible. It can be hard to see if you\u2019re blinded by fears of loss, self-doubt and relationship fantasies that you want to come true\u2026<\/p>\n The thing to realize is that people with great relationships don\u2019t have the great relationships because they know great relationship secrets or psychological loopholes of the male mind. Fundamentally, people in the best relationships all have one thing in common: they don\u2019t have relationships with people who are not a good match for them. They don\u2019t let them into their life.<\/p>\n And what\u2019s the easiest way to know if they\u2019re a good match or not? Plain and simple \u2013 how do you feel about yourself when you\u2019re with that person? Do you feel better about yourself? About life? About the things that upset you?<\/p>\n Or\u2026 do you feel insecure? Do you feel like you\u2019re walking on eggshells? Do you feel like you\u2019re suffocating\u2026 holding your breath in anticipation of a relationship that you desperately want to come into existence but always seems just out of reach? Helpless, powerless, and afraid they\u2019ll do something to hurt you?<\/p>\n How you feel with the person you\u2019re with is the best indication of whether you\u2019re with someone who\u2019s compatible or not. <\/strong><\/p>\n How much you want it to work is the worst indicator of a good relationship (in fact, usually the people who tell me how desperately they want something to work are highlighting how incompatible they really are with their partner).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Attraction<\/strong><\/p>\n The guy you\u2019re into has to be sexually attracted to you. This is not a radical claim, it\u2019s just a fact. If he doesn\u2019t feel a sense of biological, physical attraction to you, then nothing else I say will matter. His physical attraction isn\u2019t the end-all be-all of his desire to be with you, but it is a required foundation.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the bad news\u2026 if you want to call it that. The good news is that some of the most powerful seductresses the world has ever known were not the most beautiful.<\/p>\n My advice is to strive to be as attractive as you possibly can, and fortunately, this is largely in your control. And for the things you can\u2019t control\u2026. own it.<\/p>\n Too many women kill their attractiveness by walking around with insecurities and no self-esteem because they feel that something about their appearance is flawed and they\u2019ll never be good enough to attract the man they really want.<\/p>\n Whatever your supposed fault is, I can guarantee that your self-doubt is far more unattractive. Nobody is perfect and no man demands or expects perfection. But those who own their imperfections are massively more attractive than those who do not or cannot.<\/p>\n There is definitely something attractive about a woman who owns her imperfections and is totally OK with them. Conversely, being insecure is a massive energy drain to you and the people around you. Insecurity stinks of desperation and desperation kill attraction.<\/p>\n So change what you can to be sexier and more physically alluring and appealing. Spend more time at the gym, eat healthier, learn how to apply makeup to enhance your best features, train your voice to be pleasant and seductive (tape recording yourself works wonders), master attractive body language and facial expressions, dress to flatter your figure, you get the point. And that which you can\u2019t change\u2026 own it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Reach him deeply<\/strong><\/p>\n What makes you irreplaceable in the eyes of your man? Your ability to reach deep into the depths of who he is and inspire him. To put it more bluntly, you must offer something that is much rarer and valuable than sex if you want him to treat you as something important in his life. I mean\u2026 duh, right? And yet this obvious truth gets distorted and overlooked.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: what are you bringing to the table beside a physical hookup that he values deeply?<\/p>\n Sex is readily available. Having it isn\u2019t enough to make a relationship and withholding it isn\u2019t enough to cast some kind of \u201clove spell\u201d on a guy (maybe it worked 100 years ago, but withholding sex till X date is just plain obsolete now\u2026.he\u2019ll just go somewhere else).<\/p>\n Men have a deep unconscious fear that their life, their contribution to the world and their existence is pointless, meaningless, and insignificant. At the same time, every man has hopes, dreams, and aspirations.<\/p>\n And here\u2019s the major lesson: In order for a man to feel truly alive and truly fulfilled, he needs to be pursuing his deepest aspiration and his \u201cmission\u201d in life. Your ultimate gift as a woman is to inspire him to do that, to realize his ultimate potential as a man.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. Put energy into the right places<\/strong><\/p>\n Creating the foundation for a strong, healthy relationship comes down to putting energy into the right places. Worrying and stressing is not putting energy into the right places.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re still stuck in feeling needy and out of control, you\u2019re not going to see the necessity of bringing that value to the relationship because you\u2019ll still be fixated on your own worries, your fears, your insecurities. And with that fixation, you won\u2019t be able to put energy into the relationship, you\u2019ll have wasted all your energy needlessly worrying about stuff.<\/p>\n I understand that after you\u2019ve been continually hurt and disappointed by previous relationships with men, you may have formed some insecurities and frustration around relationships. But in the end, those emotions do nobody a favor \u2013 they repel men, they waste your energy, and they make everyone miserable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The only way to get out of that cycle and move towards building a firm foundation that leads to a good relationship is to find your own self-love and fulfillment independent of a relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n Remember: a relationship will never fill an emotional void, complete you, or \u201cmake you\u201d happy. You have to show up to a relationship \u201cwhole\u201d and happy already. If you show up \u201cbroken,\u201d the guy will either leave or you\u2019ll attract the type of guy who will take advantage of you\u2026 then leave.<\/p>\n The energy you put into the relationship is the only thing that matters. Putting energy doesn\u2019t come from a self-absorbed place, it isn\u2019t attached to feelings of anxiety, fear, worry, anger, rage, resentment. You are outside of yourself and putting energy into giving him that \u201cextra something\u201d that makes you valuable, rare, and inspirational to the guy.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t care if you like it. I don\u2019t care if you think it\u2019s fair or unfair. It is a simple truth that people value those who bring a unique, special, meaningful value to the table. If you honestly think that you can have a man want to choose you and only you forever without bringing something deeply valuable to him\u2026 then you\u2019re either choosing very low -quality men or you just haven\u2019t thought through reality yet.<\/p>\n Sex is not enough. And loving him the way you want to be loved is not enough either. When it comes to him choosing you, you have to love him in the way that\u2019s deeply meaningful to him. Your energy would be better spent figuring out what this is rather than worrying about him leaving you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It has more to do with your actions than his.
