5 Things Successful Women Can Do Right Now to Shift Into Feminine Energy
You’re smart, accomplished, and financially independent.
You make decisions all day long—clients, teams, deadlines, investments. You my friend have your sh*t together and you want a man who is a partner, not a project. As a Life Coach. I’ve been hearing it all since 2016.
When it comes to love, you keep meeting men who are either emotionally unavailable or so passive that you feel like you have to plan every date and carry the entire relationship. It’s exhausting and you want a masculine man who can put you in your feminine energy. a man who provides an environment of safety and competence. You want to sit back and “let him take the lead.”
Sound familiar?
If you’re a high-achieving woman attracting men who expect you to lead, you’re not alone. But, you may be operating in your masculine energy without even realizing it. This is why you found this article which I hope will turn you on to a new way of being.
Why Do Women Slip Into Masculine Energy?
Masculine energy is about doing, directing, providing, protecting, problem-solving—skills that help you crush it in business. But if that energy is running the show 24/7, it can unintentionally repel masculine men. You’ll be magnetic to men who have potential. Perhaps they are good looking but broke, directionless or not ready for commitment, so you end up in a friends with benefits or a situationship. No good. It’s time to stop settling and start shifting.
Many successful women default to this masculine mode for deeply personal reasons:
Unresolved Childhood Wounds:
Maybe you had to grow up fast, take care of siblings, or manage chaotic parents. You learned that safety = control. Perhaps you were praised for being so independent as a kid and the more you achieved the more praise you received, however, you were emotionally starved.Past Relationship Pain:
Being let down by an ex—or several—can harden you. Independence becomes armor: I’ll never rely on anyone again. Saying things like “all men cheat.” “I’m too old for love.” “I don’t have time for games so I’ll just be on my own.” These are limiting beliefs that put energy on what you don’t want instead of what you do want. Be honest, you want true love with a masculine man who is capable, adoring who can elevate your life instead of a man boy who is looking to move in with you so you can provide for him. Stop lending them money. Stop buying them stuff. Cut them off. Just because you can afford it doesn’t mean it’s appropriate. Stop enabling weakness in men.Societal Conditioning:
We’ve been told, “You don’t need a man. Hustle harder. Do it all.” Beautiful for business, draining for love.
The result? You unknowingly broadcast: I’ve got this. I don’t need you. And healed, grounded masculine men—men who want to cherish and protect—don’t feel there’s room to step in. They wonder what does she need me for? Sex? Ok I can do that! And presto!! There’s your ambiguous friend with benefits. You don’t know where you stand and it never goes anywhere and here’s why…
What Healed Masculine Men Truly Want in a Woman
Let’s get real. High-value masculine men aren’t looking for a damsel in distress. They’re attracted to women who:
Radiate Receptivity: She’s open to being courted and enjoys letting a man plan.
Expresses Appreciation: A simple “Thank you for choosing that restaurant” goes further than you think.
Stay Grounded in Self-Respect: She has her own life, friends, and passions—and still allows space for partnership. She’s not hopping into bed too soon. She’s waiting to see if his behavior is consistent over time and this makes him obsessed with you as he is proving he is a good partner for you. Just exist being kind, pleasant, with a great attitude and direct. No games just clarity on what you like and what you don’t.
Bring Warmth & Playfulness: Laughter, curiosity, softness. He wants to feel her heart, not just her résumé.
This isn’t about shrinking yourself. He can tell how you speak and how you carry yourself that you have it together. This aura of femininity is about seduction. It’s about learning how to walk and radiate an energy that men line up for. Practice walking with shoulders back in a relaxed pace, making eye contact and giving a kind smile to people in public. Handle the Resting B*tch Face and put your phone away. Ditch the work clothes and wear dresses or add a feminine accessory to your attire.
