They say men want power, but that’s not quite true.
What men really want : quietly, desperately, is to be seen.
Not admired, not obeyed, not adored. Just seen.

Somewhere between the boardroom and the living room, modern men lost their witnesses.
And in a world where every woman has learned the language of attention , men are the new lonely.

They scroll through approval, drown in noise, and still ache for one clean, human gaze that says: you matter.
That’s the private hunger they never confess.
The craving behind the confidence.
The tenderness beneath all that composure.

Attention has become the new currency - and men, for the first time in history, are running out of it.
