Why do we women hold ourselves so high. We feel a man should cater to us but what happened to the other way around. Must he be the one buying all the gifts, making the first moves? Can we not plan things ourselves? Show him how much he matters with out expecting who too much in return?

I would love to spoil a man, see the excitment he gets from knowing I'm all his.

Welcome!

You're a smart young lady. In truth, men and women should
be treating each other with respect and kindness.

You find the right guy, and you'll make a heck'uva wife
someday!

Thank you
I just think we should be equal. Women tend to be really needy, just go back to expressing emotion. So many girls want to be more like men....why?

I needed a good laugh
Thanks !

It surprises me if that's what women want these days.

A man catering to me and buying me gifts would only turn me off.

Nothing wrong with being equal, but men and women are different. Even in this day and age men like to conquer, women like to be conquered. The way this works out is of course different from 50 years ago, but it's still there.
I'm not sure, but I think giving/receiving a gift works differently for men and women, the way we feel about it, why we do it, and what it means to us.
I've been in a relationship where I had a good job, he was almost flat broke. I didn't mind, I paid for things so we could still go out, have a good time. That didn't sit well with him though. I guess it made him feel dependent, maybe even less of a man. After all we all have our pride.
I used to buy him things, not big, expensive things per say, I sometimes even bought him flowers. But one way or another, it doesn't feel right. Gotta mention he never bought me anything, I was lucky to get something for my birthday or Christmas. So there was no balance.

Once heard a psychologist or therapist say that many men are confused when it comes to dating/relationships, as women in general have changed so much. A guy can now go to a pub and have a woman come up to him and say "what's a nice guy like you doing in a place like this?"
Kind of like women are taking over the guy's part in the play, leaving him bemused: what is he supposed to do now? What's his (new) role in all this?

this really must be the end of the world to finally hear a woman say this

@Jt

Ummm, marry me?

She said yes...

Oh,sorry,she has to propose to you first!!

I KNEW there'd be a catch!

WOW !! a woman after my own heart

Liar.....

MOI ???

Emoticon fetish?...

we use on others what works on us...... except that when you want to take our job away,,,,,,,,let him be a man.... you will be happier, when a man loves a woman he wants to make her happy..... we have a couple of generations of men that don't know how to man up and be a man because of the lib movement that started in the 60s.....show him how your a lady...... don't open the door, stand there until he opens it guide him in the right direction most men would really like to do the right thing......

But there is a huge difference between a man wanting to be a gentleman and trying to buy a woman's affection.

was that meant to be positive or negative? did the happen to you?

A gentleman is always a positive.

No, it has not and could not happen to me...but I have known men who think they can buy love. I have never known any woman who would want to or could be bought...but have heard they exist. Maybe I just don't know that many women.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said what works on us we apply to others. I have always assumed a man who attempts to buy affection can, himself, be easily bought and sold.

BTW...I'm confused by..."except that when you want to take our job away".
