Many experts and wannabe experts claim that men are different when it comes to relationships, dating, and romance, but I don’t see a whole lot of differences.
Don’t we all want a relationship with someone who’s…
reliable/dependable
honest/trustworthy
loyal
supportive
confident
fun
generous
respectful
willing to share
considerate
affectionate
and at least a little bit adventurous?
These experts claim that men are visual creatures but don’t women enjoy eye-candy too? Some of them look at height, physique, skin tone, eyes, smile, hair, and "package" also.
But, all men don’t look at women as sexual objects just as all women don’t look at men as sexual objects. Some people are just "addicts" and lustful whether the individual is a man or a woman.
Some men are sensitive and emotional just as some women are sensitive and emotional.
Some women want a man who can support them financially and some men (the one’s most people in society call "lazy") want the very same thing.
Many men want to be independent just as many women want to be independent.
Men and women rush into relationships, but there are men and women who like to take their time.
Both men and women abandon relationships.
A lot of men play romantic head-games and many women play romantic head-games.
Men cheat because of their "desires" and women cheat because of their desires. Either one might cheat because he or she feels neglected – even the man.
Some men love to talk and share their feelings (with someone they trust or maybe interested in) just as some women love to talk and share their feelings.
Some men want marriage and children and a lasting relationship just as some women want those things. Some don’t want to get married, just as some women don’t want to get married.
Some men are nurturing just as many women nurture.
Some women don’t want kids just like some men don’t want kids.
Some men are shy and are afraid to approach women just as some women are shy and afraid to approach men.
Because of their personality, some good men are often misunderstood just as some good women are often misunderstood.
Men like to look good every once and awhile to attract pretty women just as some women like to look sexy to attract a handsome man. Sometimes we both just want to look good and feel good about how we look (I know many men don’t realize that a woman just wants to look and feel sexy sometimes, but there are men out there who understand this point of view.)
Some men will hang onto a bad relationship and try to make it work just as some women will hang onto a bad relationship and try to make it work.
Some women are dominant in a relationship (and can be abusive) just as there are dominant abusive men in relationships. Likewise, some men are submissive in a relationship just as some women are.
And there are more similarities, but what are the real MENTAL (or EMOTIONAL) differences when it comes to relationships? Can you really think of any?
I would like to offer you more than 10 points for the best answer. I would like to work on a book project to discuss this and publish it. If you have a blog or would like to study this more, I would like to work with you.
ajal, many women want to date, want sex, and no commitment. I’m sorry someone gave you a thumbs down, but you deserve it.
Rob, I agree with you that women are always right and men are always wrong, but I’ve some women say that their man "thinks he knows everything" or that "he always thinks he’s right" too. Thumbs up, because I forgot to include that one.
