Understanding Women's Safety Needs in Relationships
Women often prioritize safety when evaluating their relationships with men, even if they do not express it explicitly. This demand for security can manifest through behaviors known as 'testing,' where women gauge men's reactions to various situations to assess their emotional and physical safety. For instance, a woman may provoke a reaction to see if a man can remain calm under pressure, which helps her determine if he is a safe partner. Ultimately, this process reflects a woman's need to feel secure in emotional, relational, and physical aspects before fully investing in a relationship.
