We can't help it, after all, we are just Men
Posted : 7 Nov, 2011 06:32 AM

Ok Ladies, what is the single most prevelant mistake ( not affair related) we men make in relationships? Is it our lapse in the forgotten practice of chivalry. Since history repeats itself, are we men truly past the point of no return and destined for the caves we once ruled with a rod of iron? Feel free to rip us.



In Christ

lol...well you both left yourself WIDE open on this one.



I think what gets lost in the world of dating is that the 2 people need to fall in love in order for things to progress to the next level, marriage.



a woman needs to feel loved, secure and beautiful before she will start to let her wall down and her heart vulnerable. she has to know she can trust him with her heart. not that opening doors will do the trick, but being chivalrous helps. we love romance guys :)



I hate to say it but, most men are selfish and self centered. When we meet a real gentlemen, it's refreshing. When that gentlemen is a man of God..:rocknroll:

I think some men do more on words but less on action. Lots of empty promises. Sorry, dont want to sound rude here. Just basing on my experience.

For me I don't think it's chivalry. I've actually had to learn how to let men who I liked help, e.g. holding doors for me or holding my bag(s). I don't really know what kind of mistakes men make, but I did run into one guy that gave empty promises (from a different site). It was okay, though because I wasn't really interested in him, after meeting him.

Why is feeling beautiful so important? I'm not beautiful, but I don't care because I'm secure in the knowledge of what I'm worth to God.:hearts:



Maybe I just don't get it, but wanting that means your happiness will be determined by someone else's opinion - one of the things Jesus set me free from...

There are three keys to a woman's heart, and the man who really understands them will win it, eventually. At our core, women are just more emotional than men. We don�t necessarily feel more deeply than men, we just let it all out more often. Women can�t change that, because we are designed that way by God, to reflect more of His emotional, sensitive, nurturing side. For a woman to feel most fulfilled, and loved, she must have three basic emotional desires of her heart met:

1. Every woman wants to be romanced�and not just when you�re trying to seduce her. Take the time to be romantic with your woman every day, or she will find someone who will. Women all have a desire to have a great relationship, and we recognize one when we see one. We recognize a bad one too. We KNOW when we are really, truly loved, and when we are not. If you�re not really in love with her, she knows it, trust me.

2. Every woman wants to have a beauty to unveil. We want to know you find us enticing, attractive, lovely, radiant, sexy. There is a reason little girls like to twirl around in princess dresses and ask her daddy if she is beautiful. When that little girl grows up, she wants to know the man is with thinks she�s beautiful too. So show her she is beautiful to you. You�ve got to mean it, or it doesn�t really count for much to her.

3. Every woman wants to know she is irreplaceable to you. Just how every man wants a battle to fight, and a grand adventure to go on, and a princess to rescue; the lady in your life wants to know that she has a place in that adventure, by your side. She wants to know that you need her, and that you want HER to be the one going on adventures with you. That is why women get all catty and upset when we see you looking at other girls...it makes us feel like you are looking for some kind of upgrade, that we aren't good enough, and that we could be replaced someday.



If a man can understand these simple concepts and meet these deeply ingrained desires of a woman's heart...then she will always be his...so long as he is the one who KEEPS meeting these needs...not just until he "has her" and then stops...if you want to keep a woman's heart, you have to continually woo her heart.

This may be more of an error in general, rather than an error during a relationship. It's really frustrating to see men about my age (late 20s / early 30s) go after girls who are 18-22. There are few enough single guys my age as it is, but when the few that I meet are only "attracted" to girls who look young enough to be in high school or college, it's enough to make ME want to go crawl into a cave and just stay there. I guess I'm too old (at the ripe old age of 28) to get married and have a family now? Maybe I need to take some of those 60+ year old guys up on their offers, huh?

OK, rant over.

A lot of other people here have given good advice too.

@MCiG:



Whilst I don't doubt the accuracy of what you said, I still don't think I "get it" - if I had a car(or computer or whatever) that needed constant attention to keep it going I think I'd soon get frustrated with it and get rid! Your remark about men battling is kind of a case in point because a battle has a start and a finish to it, and even Paul spoke in terms of a race which has an end to it. Heck, both God and Jesus even spoke of completion, be it creation or salvation! Guess I'll never understand...



@BCP:



Don't be too frustrated; there are guys around your age who'd be interested: they just haven't seen you yet! Don't forget your future may lie in a completely different geographic area.
