What “High-Value Men” Look For In A Romantic Partner

Let’s begin by defining “High-Value Man” (HVM for short).

A HVM is a man who is driven by his need to succeed and provide for the people in his life. He respects women; seeing them not as something to conquer, but as someone to nurture. He loves to be surrounded by other men who encourage, critique, and hold him accountable. He walks his talk; if he says he’s going to do something, he will undoubtedly get it done. He strives for greatness in every facet of his life and lives according to his values. He does not play small. He is emotionally intelligent and is in tune with his own divine feminine energy until the right woman comes along to take over. Ultimately, he is respected by everyone who knows him and lives in such a way that is inspiring to others.

So what does this man want in his partner?

Imagine a High-Value relationship like a boxing match.

The man is fighting 12 rounds, 3 minutes each, and has short breaks between each match.

A HVM wants to rest between matches with a woman who speaks life into him, encourages him, and tends to his wounds as needed.

If his woman is weak, de-motivating, or absent he is significantly more likely to lose motivation himself or become distracted.

Here are the 3 things a HVM wants in his romantic partner:

  1. A healthy masculine man wants to be with a woman who has her own life

A healthy feminine woman has her own things going on. She values her social life, she is developing new skills, learning new languages, and spends time alone. She has fun and she loves life!

When a woman has a life independent of her man, it allows her to be complete, re-energized, and fully present.

She isn’t resentful when her husband goes off to do his own thing because she herself values her independence.

She doesn’t need a man to fulfill her, only to compliment her. This is wildly attractive to a healthy masculine man.

It also requires him to make effort in seeing you because he knows you have a busy schedule (whether that is taking pottery classes or taking yourself for a solo date. busy doesn’t mean busy) and he wants to be included.

2. A healthy masculine man wants to be with a woman who values her appearance

A woman who values her appearance knows it’s more than external. It’s a reflection of how well she takes care of and feels about herself.

A healthy masculine man will love you no matter what you look like. I’m not suggesting we walk around like 50’s housewives with perfectly done hair and makeup.

But a feminine woman always wants to feel good and it’s a fact that the way we dress creates different kinds of energies.

Personally, I’ve become attuned to my energy when I wear a dress vs wearing sweatpants around the house. It’s subtle, but compounded over time I feel significantly more sexy and put together when I wear real clothes at home.

3. A healthy masculine man wants to be with a woman who adds value to his life

You have standards for the kind of man you want. One of those standards should be a man who knows what he wants in a woman.

A healthy masculine man is ambitious, intelligent, and seeks new opportunities to improve.

A healthy feminine woman adds value to his life by:

  • making him feel appreciated
  • making his house feel like a home
  • providing insight into problems he’s having (a woman’s advice is insanely valuable because she sees things differently and can use her intuition)
  • encouraging him

This means a healthy feminine woman is educated and proactive. She is his sidekick at business dinners, she adds a warmth to the atmosphere, and she is a balm to an otherwise abrasive work day.

I have the privilege of dating a High-Value man who has developed more and more as we’ve been together.

My partner has inspired me in nearly every facet of my life because of the expectations he has for himself. He is a man on a mission and as his partner, I see it as my honor to uplift and be a sanctuary for him.
