How to spot the difference between a masculine figure and controlling man?

A man secure in his masculinity doesn't belittle you, make you feel less than, or feel like you're constantly having to prove yourself.

He revels in your femininity, is kind, appreciates what you do, who you are, recognizes that you're a complete person, yet still protects you and supports your goals to better yourself.

Some are quietly confident, and some are talkative and charismatic, but they have an underlying vibe of kindness. Their masculinity comes from knowing themselves, what their strengths are, how they can contribute to betterment of society, and standing strong in their integrity.

Controlling men find vulnerable women and exploit that. It's on us to do the work on ourselves to be able to recognize red flags early on. I will concede that relationships where the man is so nurturing that they "heal" a broken and vulnerable woman do exist, but that's usually pure luck. Do not go out there to look for that because that's how you get a controlling man.

How does he react when under stress and pressure? How does he demonstrate signs of anger? How does he speak of his former girlfriends?

Here is a resource from my home country that you may find useful. It lists the signs of coercive control (controlling abusive behaviour and warning signs).

he is most likely a do-er. a controlling man will tell you who he wants you to be. he will make you conform to his insecurities. a masculine man just is someone who knows what he has to do.

It’s quite easy to differentiate. Watch how he influences other men. Does he force his will on others, or does he lead by example? Is he loud, and talks over others, or is he calculated and decisive?

How does he act when you set boundaries? or express you’re not comfortable with something? Make any small critiques about your appearance?….all controlling behaviors.
