My Experience With Mens Hero Instinct

I was dating a guy who lived across the country. Long-distance relationships are obviously difficult, and they almost never work. But, while I was completely head over heels in love with this guy and wanted him to love me as much as I loved him, the distance between us grew as time passed.

I was studying psychology at the time, and we had the male mind as a subject, so I started looking into how male psychology works, and to my surprise, it operates in the exact opposite way as the female mind.

When a man dumps his partner, for example, he is initially thrilled and feels like a hero man, but science-backed study shows that he will regret it after 60 days.

Similarly, men are unable to perceive beyond the present moment. In my instance, I couldn't physically connect with him, so he couldn't connect with me as a partner. In your instance, you may be obsessing over him, which he may not find appealing because challenge is what he seeks in a relationship.

The point is that every man has a secret elixir that will awaken his hero instinct; all you have to do is figure out what attracts him and what his deep underlying longing is. The point is every man has a secret potion that would trigger hero instinct in him, you just need to learn what attracts your man and what your man's primal inner desire is.
