I do not see any man hating

but I do see mysogyny from civic man

Nonsense! Women just want to be treated like ***t, get banged every night, and they want you to be extremely muscular and have a giant ****. (note: I am not a professional and cannot be held accountable for what happens if you follow my advice )

find the right person you can talk to about it and will bathe your scars in kindness rather than re opening them

and not many will fit that description as one enters by the narrow gate - the type of understanding u seem to seek comes from one who has either traveled a similar path or loves u enuff to try to understand


it is called love latheman
jmho

exactly

package deal.... you should take care of her kids as she should yours... knowing its a package... my kids are grown now... however they all 3 have a wonderful daddy..... a dad is not just a sperm donor... its a man who treats them as their own.. 2 of my children were from a sperm donor.. and that is all he was.. my third child is from a daddy of all 3 of my children.. and loved very much. and no he never paid for my first two children I did.. he was always there for them and spent much time with them.. he is a very loved man all around..and respected as well maybe more than just a normal dad who pays for their own children... ill tell you though im divorced from him ill always care as well for him for the person he is! in any relationship you do have to have something to offer.. and so does the other person... if you arent willing to give... then you arent ready for a relationship.. best of luck...remember lazy gets no one any where... relationship or job.. single or not..

an end to threads about what we want

just get sexy and talk to us about that 1-1

I disagree that we need each other. I think the best relationships would be if we respect each other and enjoy being with each other with out the "needy" word. Need sounds too much like clingly in my opinion.

Nope you aren't missing a thing. I have done the exact same things as men while serving in the military. I have wrestled a 200 lb fueling hose, taken a bullet shot, been hit by a man that broke my nose while defending another man(mght I add not shedding tears), I have seen friends die in front of me and kept my composure, I have done my own renovations, I have recoverered from a crippling accident and the irony is I did all this on my own without a man. I think we all can do things that others can't do; but sex has nothing to do with it. I have always thought it silly to compare what a man or woman can do. I say let the person do what they do best.

:D
atta girl.

I do not want anyone to take this the wrong way and it is NOT an anti-women's lib. statement. I will tell you from the abundance of testosterone around me, I have learned over time and stubborn as I am and as much of a self contained unit as I am THAT if you want to attract DECENT TYPE MEN NOT BOYS, you have to remember like anyone else men do have egos and honor to protect. And if you go around declaring how they are not needed for other than insemination, etc. you are not going to attract the right types. As my one male friends says, "NO guy likes to feel like the INFERIOR male".

what are the 'right' types?
i don't think i'm making them feel inferior.
simply,
equal.

I skimmed through the thread. I've seen this topic on here before.

If a woman wants a guy to "love them the way they are" then they have to be true to them self.

Be yourself.

That is true for men and women.

But most people don't know how to define themselves. They don't know who they are or how to find out. If you do not know yourself, you cannot be yourself and no one can "love you the way you are."

First step is to Know Yourself.
Then, be who you are.

HOW TO BE YOURSELF:

Do what you love.
Know what you want.
Follow your passion.

Don't try to please someone else. Don't focus on yourself.

Focus on what you want.
Focus on your passion.
Follow your dreams.
Know what you want and where you want to go.

If you do that, then you will find yourself and your confidence.

You will find happiness, even joy.

Yep, that is my thought too; being equal with each other. I like doing things together equally and I wouldn't be true to myself if I pretended that I couldn't do anything just to boost a man's ego. If I was going to be with a man; I don't want to have to need him but would rather just share with him.

But in general, the male species is usually larger and stronger.

When I was younger I looked for a man who was larger and stronger than me. But after I learned that a larger and stronger man could be physically abusive, I began to prefer smaller men.

At least I had a fighting chance.

The benefits of a tough guy, is that he will fight to protect you. The disadvantages are he can push you around and abuse and terrify you.

The benefits of a less tough guy is that you might be an equal match, (might.) But you also might have to carry a gun or learn to fight to protect yourself. (and him maybe)

bahahaha.
size doesn't matter.
:p

Yes it does. It definitely does. bahahaha.
But I've met some really tough little guys too.

And some slow big guys who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

I agree Jeannie which is why I usually dated only guys that were about my size and kept up with self defense and weight lifting. I may not be able to beat them but I would have a fighting chance which again could save my life as I have been through this once already.

My ex protected me for many years...
