Seems majority consensus is this: MEN WANT RESPECT. WOMEN WANT LOVE. |

Torie8: I think you can. Example, though I know this is not a romantic relationship, but you can deeply respect your friend/person but not love them. |

jelel6: You say Love - trust - respect... With love coming first or Respect? |

frozen70: I have friends that love their women, but show little respect behind their back. I have a suspicious eye on love 1 Like 1 Share |

LordKO: Though I don't agree with love leading to respect, this is a good argument for that |

aeion: I've heard this before, and it's the strongest point for respect. What do you say when the actions of the person you love make you lose respect for them? 2 Likes |

LordKO: Then it means you don't see a scenario where love and respect coexist separately. What would you say about love for a sibling, but no respect for that sibling based on behavior. You can love them without respecting them due to their actions. 1 Like |

missimelda01: It's possible. But you can love your brother or sister, but their way of life would cause you not to respect them. You would love them dearly, but wish they could change. |

Righteousness89: So you can stay with the same woman for 50 years even if you don't respect her that much? |

saucecode: How will you suggest handling a woman you know can leave you at any time. She is more concerned about her status. In fact the word is not comprising on her respect. You as a man can go to blazes if you disrespect her... The type you can come home, without warning, meet an empty house.. 7 Likes 1 Share |

opera1: So will you agree, it's OK if a man loves his wife deeply, but cures his intellectual needs, or even one time sexual urges with another woman. Reason - he love his wife, but she can't give him these needs, and he doesn't respect her enough to not ho outside for these stimulations. |

Married men in the house, which do you see keeps your marriage - love for your wife or Respect for her? On one hand, one lady who is all nice and sweet, puts all her emotions into the rship, but her attitude, intellect needs some work. You are ready to help build her, educate her but you fear you might not respect that much. Her dream is a loving husband. On the other hand, another lady, is not the loving/romantic type type, a little cold, but she is responsible and smart. You respect her a lot, but it looks, you will both have to grow the love. She'll have the tendency, say any disrespect, I'm packing my bags instead of working things out. Her primary focus is to be respected in her marriage. Lastly, what do you ladies want? I hear some women say love, some say respect, some say both. It varies based on those who believe strongly in love vs those who don't want disrespect from their husbands. But one thing is sure, most women deep down want one over the other. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Oluromantic: OK thanks. I'll try some of the things you mentioned here. The only thing similar to this is I ignored her calls for half a day, and the next day (I knew she was unhappy), all she said was go back to where you are coming from. By the day after, she was talking normally. Lastly, she has said a couple of times, that she is melancholic/moody. I haven't really seen that or feel she is. |

Romance / Please Help. How Do You Explain This Confusing Scenario? by johnrix: 10:38pm On May 18, 2020 |
I have 2 lady friends. One is a bit aggressive, voices opinions, emotional, yabs a lot, somewhat can't say much about emotional balance. But in all this, seems nice, says her mind, no hidden agenda. Drama everytime. Even intellectual debate can turn into argument. The second is quiet, calm, more thinks through, can have something on her mind and you won't know. She has dropped comments like, poison a guy if he cheats, men at times don't have sense etc. But no drama, so fast plenty of piece of mind. Funny thing is even with secretive nature of Lady 2, and the loaded comments, I feel more comfortable/at peace with her. What could be the reason? Is this what they mean by the devil you know (or can predict) is better then the one you can't? Or am I missing something? |
Romance / What Does "Strong" Women Mean? by johnrix: 7:43pm On Apr 12, 2020 |
I remember when I was a teenager, a girl i was involved with, she was older, said I need a strong woman. I've always been confused what that meant. Is it strong as in aggressive, opinionated, takes charge etc? Somehow I see strength as mental toughness, discipline, stand on your values. So I see some quiet women and I am impressed with their strength, but seems like everyone's else image is more of a goal getter, and the quiet ones are pushovers. I am very aggressive and I find women that have gra gra don't attract me, but those quiet ones do. Could the quiet resilient ladies be the ones the girl in my teenage years was referring too? 1 Like |

Prec1ous: Men, you are a great guy, some info and some thoughts I didn't put in the initial write up, but you have intelligently deduced these insights. I think i know what to do, it's just going to be difficult and hurtful. Guess getting advice from others will let me know if I am doing the right thing. Thanks. |

Onyenna: No I don't flaunt, but in all humility, I think it is obvious I am doing relatively well. 1 and 3, I feel don't care about money, but you know women, if future is secure, they won't fret. 2 sometimes wants me to spend on her, though I often clear her. I feel because other guys always spend on her. (she is pretty) 1 Like |

MrBrownJay1: You know this thought ran through my mind, but I think I am just been picky since they are all great. Isn't it better to make it a choice and make it work? I am very adaptable guy, so I can handle most reasonable women. Because I can handle most, seems I can date quite a variety of girls without issues. |

I want advice from elders so I use my head + heart together. Help me pick who you think is most compatible. I'm not perfect, they are not. I thought of simply picking the girl I just couldn't bear losing, not telling to again. Is that a bad idea? what are your thoughts, any ideas? |

C - perfect person you would want to manage your home, your kids, responsible, not materialistic, young though, strong character. Just seems too young for me, age gap, I get bored talking to her but I admire her a lot. She is not top of the class (intelligence is not everything in life, not even 10%) but again detracts from conversations. 1 Like |

B - she behaves exactly like the kind of woman I want to be in a romantic relationship, but sometimes I don't know how much of it is genuine, plus tho she is smart, she sees beauty as her selling point. Na brainy I like �I've not really seen her willing to sacrifice personally, maybe with time. I have one funny feeling she will like her children more than me �. Maybe I am Mr securing the bag (future) 1 Like 1 Share |

A - I love her personality, perfect, can sacrifice anything for me, but we have a background clash, and her values will be misaligned with mine in the future when I pursue some life goals of mine. Doesn't really like children. Also she is so nice & open, she is unaware when people play mind games with her. My life style attracts enemies. I fear they will use her to get to me. |

I am confused. I used to take love as a feeling but heartbreak don scatter that line of thought. I see it more as a choice. There are 3 girls, dunno which is best for me. They all want a serious relationship to marriage. First thing first, they all great women! |
