Question for the ladies

Are women a little unfair with the emotional burden they put on men. For example if a man is busting his ass to put food on the table and you don't have to worry about anything. Why do they trip if the man slips at the romance? Why do some women just trip and shutdown instead of turning the heat up themselves. I've seen this happen a million times.



BTW: This aint me its for a friend.:rolleyes:
 
Two ways to look a it imo:

1. In general we place an unfair burden on those close to us to meet our emotional needs. Discontent usually starts as a personal problem that then gets projected onto others.

2. People have different ways of showing love and appreciation and if those actions and perceptions are out of synch it creates problems. A man busting his ass going to work everyday to make a nice home, that's his way to show love BUT if a woman feels like roses, candles, and rubbing her feet are how a man should show his love then she is not going to see all that other stuff in the same light. If your woman feels lonely (subjective emotion) then every hour you spend working overtime to put that addition on the back is going to feel like a blow not a gift.

My 2- I hope Martin doesn't Colin me :(
 
:hmm:

Can't speak for anybody else, but I think since I do everything I can in my relationships I need a man who's doing the same. I'm putting food on the table too...


Thats another thing. Why are women always weighing and measuring both sides of the relationship?


And thanks izayoi very enlightening. But still fucked up.
 
Because we're doing the same fucking thing.

If we work hard, you still want us to fuck right?

If we cook dinner, clean house, raise babies, you still want us to have sex right?

But noooooooooooooooooooo, don't let that slip. Then you're already tryna dick down the next chick.

Yeah it is. Communicate and choose your mate wisely. So much of this stuff should be talked about BEFORE we fall into relationships but rarely it is....and even once you are in, if things start going down hill we tend to blame and get defensive rather than opening up to why we have fallen out of touch with each other's needs.

Because you men are always trying to play the victim role. Damn. Life is not fair, but we gotta do what we gotta do to make each other happy right?

Well said, I love the balance of thought...
 
GTFOH if you don't like the answer.

Just like a man to toss it right back.


:hmm: Aint nobody tossing anything back. Just seems that every chance you get you toss a men aint shit response. You begining to sound like the simps on the main board.

Because you men are always trying to play the victim role. Damn. Life is not fair, but we gotta do what we gotta do to make each other happy right?

Men aint playing no damn victim role. Well, not me. If I'm wrong then fuck it I'm wrong but you can't come at me fucked up pointing fingers. In that case I'm gonna say "yeah i'm wrong but ........Fuck you"

Nothing last forever and throughout every relationship things change. Doesn't mean that women should say fuck it and leave it be. But why straight trip doesn't make anything better.

I have to say something.....

I learned a while ago that if your woman is really into romance....more than the average woman, then you need to leave her alone. The worse thing you can do is try to be romantic just to please her cause you will be expected to keep it going at the same level or higher.

I think there's a lot of truth in that. People tend to forget the "honeymoon" stage of the relationship is just that- a temporary stage. Sometimes they hold onto those expectations. An older woman told me once not to start doing for a man anything I was not prepared to continue doing indefinitely. Too much frontin' in the beginning is a recipe for disaster, but most people are far too fearful to actually be themselves and face possible rejection. I'd rather fail the test in a class and withdraw than get to the end and not be allowed to graduate because I fucked up the course. :smh:

This is somewhat through. Of course you gonna go hard for each other but as time goes on the relationship heads in a different direction. People change things change, I'm not saying stop being romantic but understand and try to curve it in that direction if you can. Bottom line is women are the emotional carriers in a relationship.
 
If you care about someone, being romantic is just a natural given.

If you don't, then you won't.

It's not that hard and it doesn't always require money. It requires thoughtfulness, and that is what is lacking in most relationships.
 
I agree with what Femme said earlier. If both people work jobs, the man expects the woman to come home from work and cook and clean and deal with the kids while he opens a beer and watches sports and then he expects the woman to fuck like a pornstar after all that. If the woman does not work a job, then she can do all that stuff no problem.

Exactly, you won't let us slip or we pay the price. So why should we give you grace?

Yall twisting it. And you are welcome btw, for having your back.

Men carry a lot of emotions too. I think yall just express them differently or not at all. U make a good point change is inevitable, it's people being inflexible and unwilling to see beyond their own personal agenda (everybody has one!) that kills shit.

Femme and bi are expressing the frustrations that a lot of women feel on the flipside.

:lol: thanks but at the same time I couldn't care less about those stupid little boys.you know? I am telling you we are conversing with 12 year olds every day. :hmm:

as for the topic at hand, I simply stated what I honestly feel about the subject.

My last guy, he would call out of the blue late at night asking for pussy and if I wasn't ready or in the mood right that second he would tell me he is going to the titty bar and I would tell him then please do that.

Yes, we are much more emotional and we do like and need to talk about our feelings sometimes which I know makes you guys very uncomfortable but it is what it is and if we can't discuss them with you we will be discussing them with *gasp* our girlfriends and some of them may read cosmo and essence and watch oprah too.

:yes: they go to the gym or watch violent sports or play video games :lol:
otherwise they come to BGOL and shit on women and fight and accuse people of being other people and being gay.

You can make it. Stop frowning.

Very enlightening.... Thank you. This is very true. My outlet is watching violent sports and gym. No video games and never a titty bar.

Dear "friend";) If we all had a scale to measure what we put into a relationship either side will always be lacking. The reason? It's NEVER 50/50. The magic is to find a balance that makes both people happy. In the end it's not fair to either people and eventually someone feels taken for granted.

As a woman i can say that "romance" means different things to everyone. But i don't think that it means a grand gesture (dinner, music, flowers...) it's as simple as putting dinner on if you get home first, putting a note in his/her lunch saying "love ya", it's running him/her a bath or bathing them...THAT"S Romance to me. It's all the small things that tells that special person that you love them.

For whatever reason, men (as this has been my experience) don't think that women work as hard as they do. Both can have the same job, same hours, pay...in his eyes he worked harder. She on the other hand still have to go home and cook, clean, take care of the kids and still be ready to sex ya before bed.

Wisdom right here. Good to go Izayoi :yes: Respect sista

People tend to stop communicating period and get into the hum drum of the day to day. Thats when the struggle to "make it work" happens. A concerted effort has to be made, in fact needs to be made to communicate, its a foundation that needs to be laid out and held together or that is where it will all fall apart.

because a relationship is suppose to be 50/50.

In an ideal world 50/50 would be great but realistically its not.





Good post Mcguyver

This is so untrue. Romance is not built into love. They are very separate!!

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. I've been wondering the same thing myself and can't come up with an answer other than women are emotionally lazy and expect to be catered to. As a man you are pretty much at the mercy of your woman and are subject to being emotionally blackmailed at any time.

best answer yet!



HMMMM! So you 2 are trying to tell me that every relationship you were in you made an equal amount of money, romance, work,......... etc.

The notion of an equal relationship 50/50 is retarded. The only way to get a 50/50 would be to date or marry yourself since no 2 people in this world are the same.

This just shows the some women are caught up in measuring and weighing the relationship.
