I think you're looking at this from the perspective of a grown man when talking about how different types of dudes may get women. But in your formative years when your world is much smaller and who your most attractive female peers are gravitating towards, and it happens to be an environment where it's street nikkas, some young boys are gonna get into that.Alot of it is fleeting. It isn't real dominance, respect, admiration, or fear...
Even if the assumption we'll go with is that women flock to these characteristics, most men aren't acting out to bag women. You can attract plenty of women across all personalities and backgrounds without any of these things, because women aren't typically searching out "the most feared man"...."the most respected man"..."the most dominant man"..."the most admired man"...what do these terms even mean? What do they mean to women?
This can be part of the package for women but aren't the essential traits women look for. On the flip, men, and I'll speak bluntly as most of us here are black men---->brothers put a whole lot of emphasis on domination, fear, admiration, and/or respect, especially brothers who are perpetuating the tough guy or street guy image. And that's the first glaring misstep, because in that lifestyle nowhere near everyone is viewed as dominant, feared, respected, or admired...
Nowhere even close to every guy, but too many brothers who adopt this image, whether real or perceived, operate on the belief that portraying themselves a certain way brings these characteristics. It isn't real...
But other men will tell you how much of a real nikka you are. Other men will tell you how fly you are. nikkas not posting money phones to attract women (and women of a certain age and/or maturity can sense whether a brother has paper anyway whether he holding knots or not), they doing it so other brothers view them as paper chasers. It's all for male validation, which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world in and of itself, except the same men we seeking approval from, often are fronting and frauding the same...
I appreciate the disagreements, yall know I ain't the poster who needs everybody to agree with me. This is a healthy discourse regardless what side you on though!
Black men do held/hold those behaviors to a high standard because many felt that was the behavioral pattern necessary to survive. When you show great ability to survive in in your environment, it's not only same-sex peers who are going to acknowledge that.
I see what you're saying but I just think the adoration, real or false, from other men is a case of trees in the larger forest.
