Recently I recieved an email about some article written by a man claiming he could educate women on what men want...and he had a phrase that boiled it down real well : men want respect, women want love.
thing is, I think both men and women want respect. I am very willing to bend and try to see things from the male perspective. I just wish more men would bend and do the same. Im not asking them to BECOME women...just try and understand that we want to feel respected and cherished the same way they do...but we have different qualifiers for it...just wish they woud come to understan what those qualifiers are...and its not always about money.
No really...its not always about the money. When I married my engineer hubby, he was just as poor as I was, actually POORER as he had school loans and I didnt.
When I dated a guy, I just wanted him to like me in return and consider me someone with whom he could spend time. I wasnt interested in superiority. i was too busy looking forward to all the things we could do together. Fortunately, my hubby ws looking for the same thing.
I actually started out making more money than my engineer husband. I didn't know this until probably 6 months to a year of our dating. The thing is he went broke taking me on dates and paying for it. I'm real happy I married him. He's a good guy.
That seems totally reasonable.
