An independent and mature man who understands women, adheres to his own rules for building strong relationships.
Many women do not like these rules, especially if a man applies them at the beginning of communication.
Independent choice
Many men do not choose women themselves, because women manage to do it first.

That's why many men only date women who reciprocate their feelings.
Many women get angry when a man doesn't give them attention if they initiate the acquaintance first. They think that he is simply obliged to respond.
Playing catch-up
Not every man likes to chase women.
Only weak-willed men do everything to beg for women's attention and gain their favor.
Both partners should be interested in the relationship. If the woman does not want to meet halfway, then let her languish in anticipation.
Expensive gifts
Not every man likes to invest in a stranger.
A smart man will not throw money around and shower a lady he has known for a week with gifts.
Someone is better
An independent man calmly accepts the situation when there is someone better.
A man who earns and provides for his family will not compare himself to others and will not allow a woman to do so.
