Let me tell you something that might sting a little. Right now, without even knowing it, you may be treating your man more like your child than your hero. And it’s silently killing your relationship.
But what if you could flip the switch? What if you could walk into a room and instantly have his eyes light up? What if he chased you, adored you, and stepped into his power like a king — all because you knew how to show up as a high-value feminine woman?
This article is your golden key. The missing piece that finally helps you understand why men pull away, why they stop planning dates, why you keep attracting “man-babies” who want you to do all the work — and how to stop it, for good.
I’m Brody Boyd with Magnetize Your Man, and together with my wife Antia, we’ve spent over 20 years combined helping thousands of successful women all around the world get into loving, long-term, and committed relationships with the men they truly desire. We’ve been featured at Google, the Harvard University Faculty Club, and even Good Morning San Diego.
So if you’re ready to finally feel taken care of… to be cherished… to stop being the one doing all the emotional labor… then let’s dive into the secret men are dying for women to understand.
1. If He Acts Like the Woman… Let Him Find a Man
Picture this: your man starts asking you for gifts, for spa days, for you to plan the dates and take the lead. He wants you to “treat” him, “take care” of him, “handle things” for him.
And maybe at first, it feels kind of flattering. Like, “Aw, he’s letting me in.”
But let’s be real.
If a man is leaning that far into receiving… he’s operating from a broken version of masculinity.
Here’s why that matters: Polarity is the secret to attraction. Masculine energy gives. Feminine energy receives. If he’s in feminine mode, always asking, expecting, needing — then guess what? You’re being pushed into your masculine. You’re being made into the “mommy.” And nothing kills romance faster.
You might be subtly encouraging this without even knowing it — by helping too much, fixing too much, or giving too much. But when you’re in your giving energy too often, he stops stepping up. He becomes passive. He becomes the child. And you become the parent.
So what do you do instead?
You lean back into your feminine. Let him lead. Let him give. Let him pursue.
You don’t have to shame him. You don’t have to argue. You just stop playing the mommy. Stop planning his life. And stop giving more than you’re receiving.
Because the right man wants to give to you. Not be your son. Be your king.
2. Let Him Handle the Finances (Even If You Make More)
“I don’t want to see a bill. Ew.”
Sound familiar? Maybe not out loud — but deep inside, you’re tired of handling everything. You’re tired of always being in control.
Here’s the truth: control is masculine. Delegation is feminine.
A powerful way to reconnect to your feminine energy is to let go — especially with money. Let your man handle the finances. Yes, even if you make more. Especially if you make more.
That doesn’t mean you give away your bank account or stop being smart. It means you stop taking on all the weight. You say, “Babe, could you handle the bills? I trust you.” And then you let him rise.
At first, he may stumble. That’s okay. Men learn by doing, not by being micromanaged.
It’s like giving him the wheel. He may swerve, but eventually, he gets better. And when he knows you trust him, he wants to be the man who takes care of you.
This works with anything — money, logistics, decision-making. You don’t have to do it all anymore.
Let him be the man.
Let him lead.
And watch your shoulders finally drop with relief.
3. Want Him to Step Up? Stop Calling Him “Baby”
Words have power. And one of the sneakiest mistakes we see women make?
Calling their man “baby.”
Here’s why that’s a problem: a baby is cared for. A baby is nurtured. A baby is not the provider. So every time you call him “baby,” you’re subtly putting him in the role of the child — not your king.
Instead, use nicknames that pull him into his masculine.
Try:
- “My king”
- “My hero”
- “Daddy”
- “My protector”
- “My lion”
It might feel weird at first. But you’ll be shocked how fast his energy shifts when you lift him up with your words.
And guess what? When you treat him like your man — not your baby — he becomes your man. He starts acting like the leader, the provider, the protector you crave.
Because men rise to the identity you give them.
4. If He Pulls Away, This Is Why
When men pull away, ghost you, or go silent… it hurts. Bad.
But often, it’s not because they’ve stopped caring. It’s because they’re avoiding conflict.
Most men haven’t been taught how to handle emotions. So when they feel disrespected, controlled, or misunderstood, their instinct is to shut down. Not because they want to hurt you — but because they don’t want to argue. Or say something they’ll regret. Or be misunderstood again.
So they go silent. They disappear. They retreat into their cave.
But that doesn’t mean you’re powerless.
You can pull him back by leaning into your vulnerability. Not by shaming. Not by chasing. But by gently opening up your feelings.
Use what we call Magnetic Feminine Communication:
- “I miss your energy.”
- “I feel sad when we don’t connect.”
- “I would love to spend time with you soon.”
These statements invite him in. They don’t push. They don’t punish. They just open the door.
And if he’s a healthy masculine man?
He’ll walk right through it — and back into your arms.
5. Let Him Be the Hero (Even When You Don’t “Need” Him)
“I just want you to trust me enough to let me do something for you.”
That was a line from a powerful clip Brody shared in the video — and it captures what so many men feel.
They want to step up.
But they don’t know how to win with you. Because you’re always one step ahead. You’re handling everything. You’re acting like you’ve got it all together.
So he gives up.
Here’s the shift: stop trying to be “Miss Independent” all the time. Let him in. Ask for help. Share your problems. Show your soft spots.
And then — appreciate him.
Gratitude is masculine fuel.
When he solves a problem for you — even a small one — celebrate him. Make him feel like a winner.
That’s what brings out his best. That’s what lights him up. That’s when he says, “Wow. I want to take care of her. I want to be with her forever.”
6. His Purpose Comes Before You (And That’s a Good Thing)
This may be hard to hear — but it’s true.
A man’s first priorities (if he’s healthy) are:
- God (or something greater than himself)
- His mission or purpose
- Then you
And that’s not rejection. That’s reality.
If he doesn’t have a purpose… he’s lost. If he’s not connected to something higher… he’s empty. He can’t pour into you because he has nothing to pour from.
But when he’s living his purpose — racing cars, building a business, leading a cause, building something that matters — you benefit.
Because all that fire? All that passion? It flows into you.
So don’t compete with his purpose. Support it.
Be the woman who cheers him on, who sees the king in him, who believes in his mission. That’s the woman he never lets go of.
That’s the woman he builds a life with.
7. Want Him to Grow? Inspire — Don’t Fix
If your man has no direction, no motivation, or struggles with addiction or self-sabotage, it’s easy to want to fix him.
But don’t.
It’s not your job to be his therapist. His coach. His savior.
That’s masculine energy.
Your only job? Be the drink.
Be the radiant, feminine woman who inspires him just by being who you are.
He may step up. He may not. But your power lies in becoming the light.
Because if he’s the right man, he will rise for you.
If he doesn’t… then he’s not your king.
And that’s okay.
Because the queen doesn’t chase.
She attracts.

Men don’t need you to do more. They need you to be more — more open, more vulnerable, more feminine, more trusting, more of you.
The man you want? He’s out there. Right now. Looking for a woman like you to inspire him, believe in him, and let him lead.
But only if you stop doing it all yourself.
Only if you stop being the “mom” and start being the queen.
And this is just the beginning.
There’s so much more to learn. So many shifts to make. So many hidden patterns to uncover.
