Some secrets women should know about men
In your pursuit of love and romance, you tend to be somewhat selfish. That’s okay. It happens to everyone.
You have grand dreams and visions of what your ideal relationship is going to look like. You would begin to fantasise about what your dream guy is going to be and what kind of personality he has.
However, have you ever just stopped to think about what it would be like for the guy in this scenario? Sure, you know what you want.
But you might not be aware of the types of efforts that men go through to find love for themselves as well. You shouldn’t make the mistake of not taking the time to understand men.
And if you don’t know where to start in that regard, then this article is going to be perfect for you. Here are a few secrets about men that you might have never realised on your own:
They also have to put up with the risk of rejection
A lot of women like to play the role of the victim a lot whenever they are rejected in romance and love. And that’s normal. It’s okay to feel sad about being rejected. However, it would be foolish to think that men don’t have to suffer through rejection, too. Men have to put up with rejection a lot, considering that they’re the ones who tend to make the initial approach in dating and relationships.
They feel a lot of pressure to be kind to women
Men are always held to a high standard. They are continually being told that they need to conduct themselves like gentlemen. And yes, that is, indeed, how it should be. However, you shouldn’t be so unfair to ignore just how difficult it is. Sometimes, a man can get lambasted by society in such a significant manner for something that a woman would be forgiven instantly for.
They can’t get dates that easily
Sure, women always have to wait around for a man to ask them out. This is especially true for women who aren’t very forward or aggressive in their romantic ways. However, that doesn’t mean that men can get dates left and right. When a man gets rejected, it can be tough for him to find the confidence that he needs to stay persistent in asking girls out.
They feel a lot of pressure to do everything on their own
Men are always touted as the supposedly stronger gender. And that might be true in the physical sense due to biological and anatomical factors. However, that isn’t still going to be the case in an emotional touch. Men are always encouraged to swallow their feelings and pretend like nothing is wrong. And this can be very destructive to a person’s state of mind.
They don’t know how to relate to others, as well as women do
Women are just more empathetic. This is in connection with the previous item on this list. Since men are encouraged to be less emotional, then they don’t get a chance to be in tune with the feelings of other people as well. That means that it can be complicated for them to relate to others.
They aren’t aware of what women want
Men have no clue what women want. Sure. You might think that you don’t understand men. But it’s all the same for them as well. Honestly, they don’t understand women either. They are just as clueless as you would be. Naturally, it would be unfair for you to expect any different from them.
They struggle with always having to take control of a relationship
Men tend to be thrust into leadership positions in the relationship. However, not all people are built to be leaders. And it can be awful for a man who doesn’t have leadership qualities to carry those kinds of expectations from a woman.

Edem’s debut album gets praise from Sarkodie
Ghanaian rap star Sarkodie has celebrated fellow artiste Edem for his groundbreaking debut album “The Volta Regime”, calling it one of the greatest albums in Ghana’s music history.
In a heartfelt social media post, Sarkodie, whose real name is Michael Owusu Addo, reflected on the first time he heard Edem rap.
He said he was instantly impressed and knew Edem would have a serious impact on the music scene.
“I remember when I first encountered my brother Edem, I came back home to tell one of my hommies that this guy will have a serious impact on the music scene,”
“He was like naa because of the language barrier. I said I don’t hear language, I hear greatness. Big up my brother, you are still on my favourite emcee list.” Sarkodie wrote.
Edem, born Denning Edem Hotor, released The Volta Regime in 2009. The album boldly embraced the Ewe language and featured collaborations with top Ghanaian artists including Tinny, Kwabena Kwabena, and Jeremie Van-Garshong.
Despite initial doubts about how well Ewe rap would perform commercially, the album proved to be a major success and introduced a new wave of local-language hip-hop.
Songs like Bra Fre Me, Nyorvuviade, and the powerful Intro helped establish Edem’s lyrical prowess and cemented his place as a unique voice in the Ghanaian music industry.
At a time when the local scene was dominated by Twi and Ga-speaking rappers, Edem’s success broke barriers and made it clear that talent speaks louder than language.
His impact opened doors for more linguistic diversity in hiplife and hip-hop music across the country.
Sarkodie’s tribute is especially meaningful because both artists emerged around the same period. Sarkodie’s own debut album Makye also dropped in 2009, and the two have long shown mutual respect for each other’s craft.
Today, over 15 years after its release, The Volta Regime continues to inspire fans and artists alike. It remains a symbol of bold originality and cultural pride.
Edem has since released several projects and remains an active voice in Ghanaian music and youth advocacy. His legacy is a reminder that true greatness is not limited by language.
