Cristiano Ronaldo—one of the greatest football players of all time, he’s one of the most popular people in the world, with a net worth of over $1.4 billion.
He recently sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan. During the conversation, he was asked a simple question:
“What do you love about Georgina?”
Ronaldo’s answer was sincere and straightforward:
“She takes care of me. She takes care of the kids. She makes the house a home. Yes, she has a great body, but it’s how she takes care of me.”
And then the mob of angry women—the keyboard warriors—showed up in the chat.
They accused Ronaldo of only valuing Georgina for what she “does for him” and not for the things that make her unique as a person.
They wanted him to list her ambition, her intelligence, her discipline, her personal accomplishments.
But the question was very simple and personal: Why does he (Cristiano Ronaldo) love her?
Not why the world should admire her résumé.
If I say: “I love my wife because she is the only woman who can tolerate me,” that would be a very personal explanation of why I (Alain Guillot) love my wife. She could have a million other qualities, but this one is the one that gets to my heart.
Have you heard what many women look for in a man when they are swiping away on Tinder?
Six feet tall, six-figure salary, and a six-pack.
And then, maybe, something about his other qualities and personality.
We live in a world where people look for a LinkedIn-style list of qualities. But many times, those are not the things that make a relationship vibrant. Those are not necessarily the things that make a relationship work.
This might surprise some readers, but most of the time, men could care less about the professional achievements of a woman. We care about two things:
- Is she kind to me?
- Am I attracted to her?
Feminism has lied to women. Feminism has told women that they are high value and should be desired and loved because:
- They are ambitious
- They are educated
- They are successful
But what has worked for centuries is that people love each other based on how they contribute to each other’s lives. If my wife earns a distinguished prize in something but doesn’t contribute to the harmony of our home, then her professional accomplishments mean nothing to me. If my wife greets me with a smile, asks how my day was, and gives me a hug—I’m sold. And of course, I would also ask her about her day and listen to her.
Georgina brings peace (something difficult to find), stability, and care. She makes a house a home. And Ronaldo is the provider and protector. This mutual contribution has been the basis of long-term relationships for centuries, and it still works.
The Feminist Keyboard Warriors Attack
Of course, the internet distorts our values, and the infinite supply of men on Tinder leads women to believe that they can always “do better.”
One woman wrote:
May this love never find me
A man who came from absolute poverty, with an alcoholic father and a mother who worked serving food.
A man who never finished high school, pulled himself out of his life circumstances, became the most admired football player in the world.
A man who doesn’t drink alcohol, doesn’t do drugs, doesn’t have tattoos, respects his body, and after each international game goes home to spend time with his wife and kids and give them everything they need.
This is the man you wish never to find you?
I have good news for you: it never will.
You probably want a non-binary person, who with many tatoos, who smokes weed or do other drugs, who probably lives from paycheck to paycheck, who voted for Kamala, and that’s probably the love that you will get.
Conclusion
I’m divorced, but I know this much:
If I ever have a wife again, my love for her won’t depend on her degrees or professional accolades. It will depend on the peace, warmth, and kindness she brings into our home.
