Yes, women cannot love a man they do not respect and admire.
A woman cannot respect a man who becomes her doormat.
“Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody’s ever been in love with him. If things don’t change for him, he’s gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she’s gonna treat him like sh*t, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won’t respect him, ‘cause you can’t respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn’t work.” - Ferris Bueller
