As a man, I’d die for my wife, I’ll work tirelessly, etc...at the end of the day, all I need is a little respect - which is then returned in love. I see far too many women these days seeing “their man” as nothing more than somebody that should treat them like a queen while they behave like a spoiled brat that appreciates nothing. Ultimately, they’re very selfish.

One rule for dealing with women: ignore what they say and watch what they do. If she loves you, she shows it by making an effort to make you happy. If she's unwilling to make an effort to make you happy, then she doesn't love you, and it's time to either change her attitude or leave. (and yes, it works in the other direction too).

Nuts, I been using that rule on everybody for the better part of my life, and now I find out it's only for women.

That’s true, but it’s a two way street. A ‘giver’ finally stops giving when they receive nothing in return.
