It's quite understandable that a whole lot of people would almost immediately pass superficial judgement on such men who are supposedly "Strong and Silent", usually either labelling him an idiot or a intellectual. Or just being arrogant. In any of these cases, most women just hate the fact that such men are assumingly not capable of the mutual reciprocation of words (conversation).
And some men, know secretly that it is slowly killing them (some women) softly. Most women live, breathe and depend on constant socializing.
There are multiple reasons why a man stays silent, and as a man myself, the virtue of prudence is one of my personal reasons.
It does sound like a convinient excuse to escape from talking, isn't it ? Actually, it's true. Some men who are shy, not intelligent enough or socially inept find it convinient to adapt this virtue and at the same time empower him with a dignified sense of moderation with words. Or with a reassuring sense that he would be left alone without having to reveal his embarassing social shortcomings.
However, the men who sincerely adapt this social stance for it's own value and worth, usually believe in these guidelines which aids them in many ways. As described below:
- Spare no effort for meaningless talk. Say what you mean. Sometimes, a little bullshit between two understanding parties is needed for a little fun and to let off steam.
- Almost everything is based on perfect timing. Circumstances and the desire for communication with people often conflict with each other.
- Words do have incredibly volatile value. It is up to the individual to empower his words.
- When dealing with women, leave no room for deception. And be ready to become more attentive.
- Actions do speak louder than words. There is always a time to act or either speak.
- Because men like us hardly speak, we need to make every word count when we speak.
- Our true feelings may or may not be accepted by those around us (especially when it comes to women), therefore the constant need to restrain ourselves and come to terms with our feelings.
- I am an individual. I deal with others with the utmost respect for anyone I come in contact with, and I expect the same treatment to be reciprocated.
There might be more guidelines which the "Prudent" man would adapt, the list could be endless, and it varies from each masculine individual.
The next blog post will deal with the very heart of the "Prudent" man. Which in turn, motivates him to be who he is at the present moment.
