Single men in the Midwest, looking for their special someone, need to ensure that they come across as an individual and avoid falling into the negative stereotypes out there. Women, single or not, are constantly approached by men who mistreat them and do nothing for their sense of self-worth or self-confidence. To have any chance of finding your remarkable woman, you need to avoid being a stereotype and be true to who you really are and what you have to offer.

As the Midwest Matchmaker, I have worked with many single men in the Midwest and the surrounding areas who have it all on paper. They have reached the top of the professional ladder, own all the fast, expensive toys imaginable, and are oozing with confidence. However, they often fall victim to trying too hard to play to the stereotypes of what they and their peers consider to be “a real man.” I’m here to tell you that these ideas of what a “real man” might be, are not always good. Those ideas held by so many single men in the Midwest can often be some of the biggest things getting in the way of finding love.

Below, I take a quick look at outdated, stale, male stereotypes that will never do single men any favors when you’re dating.

Afraid To Be Vulnerable

Many successful men are terrified of being vulnerable as they consider it a weakness or even a flaw in their character. This newsflash might be a shock, women that date single men in the Midwest who choose to be vulnerable show a willingness to connect, open up, and be true to who they are. Being tight-lipped and tough in the conference room might be a good tact, but it’s advised to allow your guard to drop when you’re dating.

Being Cold Or Mean

Just because you are a man does not mean that you cannot be kind, compassionate, and empathetic to those around you. You do not need to go about your day stone-faced and afraid to show emotion. If you want to connect with single women, start being warm, caring, supportive, and sympathetic. In the real world, nice guys are admired and sought after by single women looking for love.

Expressing Unhappiness

You don’t need to turn on the waterworks every time things upset you, but being honest about your feelings will allow the women you date to see the real you. The notion that “real men don’t cry” is outdated and needs to be forgotten about completely. Instead of bottling up your emotions and remaining stoic all of the time, be brave and show your emotions. There’s nothing wrong with shedding a tear now and then or admitting that you are unhappy or feeling overwhelmed about something. It will humanize you and ensure that you are not dull and robotic around the single woman you date.
