It is the man who awakens a woman's feminine charm. He is the one who makes her blossom and bloom, by the way he conducts himself and the way he treats her. Therefore, be a man. Protect her, provide for her, and lead her with firmness. — Aubrey Andelin, Man of Steel and Velvet.

Hi!!! I just came across your blog and I'm so happy to see a man who seeks to glorify God, rather than a 'Christian' who is red-pilled and fetishises submission. I really think you will make a woman very happy someday and I hope she will make you happy too! I wanted to ask if you have read Aubrey Andelins book 'Man of Steel and Velvet' (MSV) thats claims to teach biblical masculinity. I have 'Fascinating Girl' for femininity by Aubreys daughter Dixie but Dixie has updated that book for the 21st century, MSV has not been updated at all so i'm not sure how relevant it is now. Also, I was wondering what girls can do to show shes interested in a guy, since we're told not to ask guys out and it kinda feels like we're just supposed to sit there and wait around hoping for a guy to come up to us hahaha

Thank you. Sometimes, Tumblr makes me hate men. Although I think there's still hope for them; I myself have a fair few unpleasant fetishes. The difference is whether or not we act on and excuse our disordered desires (as the Catholics would call them) or work to avoid indulging them and, if possible, cure them.

Haven't read that book so I can't comment; tell me if I should or not.

I'm unsure about this one. Although I do have a few suggestions off the top of my head.

Make an effort to dress nicely on days or for occasions you know he'll be present.

Give greetings when he's present. "Hello" is good; it's not too flowery, but it's formal enough that it indicates real attention.

If there's an opportunity, give gifts to him.

When it become possible, just strike up conversation. I'm assuming you're Christian (most people in Tradblr are), so there are subjects you can talk about other than the weather - ask him what his favourite book of the Bible is and why, or what he's reading currently, or his favourite saint(s) if he's Catholic or Orthodox.

Generally, make it clear to him that you know him. If he's a man worth being with, he'll approach you after that.

(And here, I met as well chip in with my views on religion in Tradblr. On the one hand, the non-religious, in my experience, are vastly more likely to be porn-addicted or misogynistic. But I certainly don't want to be a Christian-only space; @homeiswherethewitchcraftis is one of my favourite blogs here and I also really like @barefoot-a-pregnant. I propose we be like the Freemasons; you need to be religious or at least theistic, but it doesn't matter much what kind you are.)

A woman’s security does not lie in money her partner earns. She finds it in him as a person of character and dependability.

If she must become the man of the family, she isn’t free to function as a woman, to devote her time and thought to making a success of her equally demanding duties as wife and mother.

With a strong man, the dominating woman does not exist. Women take over as men allow them to. The responsibility to retain his position is his. This he must do at all costs.
