Guess what?
Great men are not interested in having a trophy wife!*
A trophy woman can be either one of those women who looks good for show but has little to offer in the way of an interesting, unique, and enjoyable personality, or she can be a fabulous woman but her partner doesn't care... he just wants a women who looks good!
Of course there are not-so-great men who are so superficial that their only concern is having an attractive woman who looks good hanging around with them, but great men want something beyond this.
When it comes to a partner, these not-so-great men who want a trophy woman, do not care about conversation, personality, relationship, intimacy, respect, or love. They want to look good to others, and they mistakenly think they are impressing other guys by having an attractive female around. This immature tactic to feel superior, of course is nonsense but still, the phenomenon remains.
Make no mistake about these sorts of men... they are not the kind of men who will be a good partner nor are they truly great men.
And, today, both men and women realize that the, "trophy wife syndrome" is all about a man's need for an ego boost, nothing more. Most people today can see through the nonsense and typically disrespect the immature need to use others to impress!
Relationships are not about trying to impress others. They are not about superficial appearances, nor are they about using another to boost a unhealthy ego.A healthy relationship must be based on much more than appearance and show.
Truly great men want a partner who has more to offer than an attractive form. They want a partner who brings warmth and care and strength to the relationship. A woman with whom they can share a life. A woman who brings out the best in him, who has various attributes and characteristics he find meaningful... she may be funny, intriguing, kind, gentle, brilliant, exciting, dedicated, or have any number and combination of great qualities!
The specific traits are not important, what is important is that the man wants more than a trophy available to boost his ego by her attractiveness!
*Please note: I'm not in any way suggesting that being attractive in not important to some great men. I'm asserting that men who only care about their images, and who use women to boost their egos are not great men!

Hello Jennifer. I had to smile reading this. You know why? It reminds of the movie "The Stepford Wife's".
Hi Peter...
OOOHHHH yes... that was SOME movie!
LOL!
Exactly... as I said, any guy who wants such a wife is so not a great man! ;-)
You bring a smile to my face Peter...
Hope you are well and safe visiting family!
Big hugs,
Jen
Don't forget the flip-side - women who choose a guy because he's loaded. There's something to say about a guy who can provide for his family, but how about the women who stick through no-passion marriages because he provides a "comfortable lifestyle"? That's not the sign of a great woman... deserve what you want and make yourself the best person you can be...
Cheers
Hello again,
Thank you for the Great post. Had an experience with this kind of a man who never forgot me since we met 13 years ago. We were neighbors and our sons became good friends. I was intersted in him too but then I met someone and I forgot him. He had a sort of a wife (not married with her), which is why I did not want to chase him.
Then he moved away. I found out 3years ago that he is not with the woman anymore. Now he is still single, I am available and he doesn't stop calling me. (He always kept my number.) He looks for friendship first as I do, he is nice and a good conversationalist, but it seems having a sensual woman around him who can please him in the bedroom is more important to him. It turned me off and it seems personality and a good heart is not that important to him. If he would apologize and respect me like I asked, maybe it could work out. (I am really hard to get. Funny how this drives men crazy.)
I have bad instincts mixed with good ones about his man. Advice or opinions I would appreciate as we are here to share and help each other.

Hi Pati,
Thanks for writing...
I am of the opinion that there is never a reason to remain with a man who doesn't respect you.
Period.
Also, I think you actually do have some good instincts but may be ignoring them? :-)
At least from your comment, you seem to know what is best for you... right? (smile)
It is nice to fantasize how a relationship could be but there is a time to face reality and create the life you truly want!
Warmest wishes,
Jennifer
