Understanding Men's Needs in Dating: Men may ask for instant gratification, but what they truly need is a deeper connection and happiness in a relationship
Men and women have different desires and needs in dating. While men may ask for immediate gratification and validation, what they truly need is a genuine connection, fulfillment, and happiness with a partner. It's important for women to understand this difference and not confuse what men want in the moment with what they need in a relationship. Men may crave romance and deeper connection, even if they don't openly express it. The concept of "TV and candy" can help illustrate this idea - men may ask for "TV" (instant gratification) but what they really need is "candy" (a deeper connection). This concept is not just about sex, but about understanding the differences in desires and needs in a relationship.
The difference between 'TV and candy' and being a 'wise woman': Focus on respect and growing to like respected individuals in relationships, rather than just giving in to instant gratification desires.
It's important to establish personal standards and values in relationships, rather than constantly giving in to the instant gratification desires of others. The speaker refers to this as the difference between being "TV and candy" and being a "wise woman." Men may want quick pleasures, but true long-term attraction is built on respect. When considering potential partners for serious relationships, it's essential to focus on respect and growing to like the respected individual more, rather than just being attracted to them in the moment. The concept of "TV and candy" is about recognizing the difference between instant gratification and long-term fulfillment. Reflect on whether you are providing respect and value in your relationships or just giving in to the demands of others.
