The World has Changed, if You've not Noticed
There are so many pages on the Internet still talking about these things as if we are in the 16th Century.
Talking about strength for men, sexual purity gor women, and things like that. This is not the 16th Century.
Strength
I'm a pretty strong dude who has been strong all my life, who started working out and building muscles at 14. And I've never had any need for all the strength I have. LOL. I even made a post about this.
Back in the day men had to farm, build, hunt, chop wood, etc. Now we don't need to do any of that, so what is all the strength for? Except you work in construction or somewhere strength is required, and guess what? One of the answers to what you need the strength for is that women would admire you, but how would they know you're strong when they can't see you chopping wood, farming or hunting? If you work in construction or something these women would even want go avoid you because manual workers are known for not being rich.
Furthermore I have male friends who are strong, who go to the gym and all. And I have friends who don't, who are weak and all. There is no difference between their love lives. I'm supposed to be here telling you guys that the strong ones are somehow always with a woman but the weak ones aren't, but that is not the case at all!
Same way there's no difference with their finances. I'm supposed to be able to say the strong ones drive the best cars, make the most money, etc. But that is not the case at all!
These days the more strength your job requires the poorer you would even be. The architect make more money than the guy lifting the cement and other stuff at the site. To make his money Elon Musk has mostly had to sit in front of a laptop and do brain work without moving the tiniest fiber of a muscle.
So how is strength still the most valued trait in a man in this century?
Purity
Women had to stay sexually pure in the past, not anymore!
Men still value a woman who has less sexual experience, but not like they used to because a pure woman was for marriage and men are no longer as interested in marriage as they used to be.
Plus marriage has lost its integrity so a woman who isn't so fit for marriage due to her sexual experience is not viewed as poorly as she used to be viewed. Lack of sexual purity is quite normal and accepted now, we see women on Only Fans, women twerking on Social media, wearing revealing clothing in the streets, talking about their sex life and experiences freely. All of these weren't obtainable in the past.
This is to show you how normal sexual experience now is for women. Sexual freedom for women has taken a good seat and it's now the norm and every day it becomes even more of the norm.
Furthermore, women now bring more economic value to the table. Women work and make a lot of money, sometimes more money than their man. When a woman is bringing something like this to the table a man cares less about her sexual experience.
So, yeah, purity used to be the most valuable trait in a woman, not anymore.

The belief that change is constant is what is holding up here. Then, women don't really fancy how much money you will because what you will get with the money? Unlike now, that money answers all things. In the olden days, material wealth isn't their problem as we have these day. Then women simply love and like stronger men because they feel they are saved and secure.
Yeah, that's another thing, money has taken center stage now way more than in the past
That is the issue we are done confronted with these days. I remember when going up, society didn't really attribute much value to money, but what someone does. But now technology has changed everything.
That's true, I also remember, I'm a little old too 😅
Lol. I can relate.hahahah
😅🥲
Things have change, now the nerd with the brain has more than a fighting change to be popular.
That's right 👍🏾
We have seen that if there is money, then every man's failures are hidden. If there is no money, then it is bundled up and left at the end. Therefore, it is better that all of us men should earn money and only then should we make a decision in our lives.

There is for sure a good deal of changes going on, both good and bad. I hope we can continue to find happy mediums between these different cultural shifts because it’s important. A way to bridge the gap between keeping the past relevant for us but not forgetting to change for the future.
The eternal struggle of humans... balancing our desire for change with our desire for familiarity.
That's right, we need the good from all eras.
I think you make a really great point about changing some of our old belief systems, but I also think you make a lot of assumptions here, likely because of your indoctrination into these beliefs.
These ideas of strength and purity never actually arose from necessity, it's simply a reflection of man's desire to own and control things. Most men in ancient times did not need to be particularly strong to survive, but the stronger you were, the more you could take from others. There were no real benefits to a woman being pure, it simply makes the man feel like she is only his.
Men still desire to be strong, but it's obviously not just to attract women. As you stated, strength alone is not (and has never been) the only thing that attracts women to men. The desire for strength is simply a manifestation of our desire to control.
Expectations of women are changing because they are much less dependent on men now for survival. Their desires have barely even been considered until the last 200 years or so. I believe that the aggressive sexual behavior we see among women now is simply the result of them learning that they can actually choose things for themselves in life, not just try to be what some future husband might want.
The main points you've made are that strength and purity were not out of necessity but simply man's desire to own and control things. Well, you're quite right, but what I was mainly trying to do was show that those are no longer the most valued traits in the genders.
I also didn't say strength was only to attract women, I also showed it was also to attract money/wealth but it's no longer important in this era for wealth like it used to be.
I totally agree with your last paragraph. 🤝
