View Full Version : Can't you just love me for who I am?

This was written by a guy... it's pretty damn smart.

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women
differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and
Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head
and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.

Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I
don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every man on the planet dreads to
hear...

"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough
for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me
for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to
sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time
with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits.

She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy
them all.

She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each outfit."

We went on to the jeweler department where she picked out a pair of
diamond earrings.

Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was
one wave short of a shipwreck.

I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis
bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey."

She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement.

Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a
baffled, "WHAT?"

I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while.

You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.... but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her. ;)

For those not in the "know:"

I'm sorry
i'm sorry if i'm not skinny enough for you to see my ribs.

i'm sorry if i'm not pretty enough to be "your girl"

i'm sorry that i don't want to have sex every minute of the day.

i'm sorry that i'm not a playboy bunny so i can act like a pornstar for you.

i'm sorry if i don't have a dream body that turns you on.

i'm sorry if i won't drop down to my knees to get you to like me.

i'm sorry if my hair isn't long enough.

i'm sorry if i'm not the "hottest" girl you've ever seen.

i'm sorry that i try my best to get you to like me, but then get hurt.

but most of all; i'm sorry that most people can't accept a girl for who they really are.

and i'm sorry that most guys will read this and post it and may agree with it but after 5 minutes they forget about it and do the same thing all over again. PEOPLE! just think about it, about how you treat girls.

If you're a girl and you agree with this letter, repost as "I'm sorry."

If you're one of the few PEOPLE with enough balls to repost and you would never make your girl feel this way, repost as "I love you just the way yare.."

shichimenshyo -
Yeah, I've deleted a few, but the problem is that I know almost all of my myspace friends in real life, and I swear to god they will whine "why did you delete me?!"
(They are retarded, but I still love them)

I've just learned not to click anything that says "blue condom," "I'm a Pisces," "fuck-buddy list" or etc. Occasionally shit like "I'm sorry" or "What I did yesterday" gets through.

And, then I sometimes get a kick out of my friend's roomate posting the girlfriend at the store story, because I'm a malignant bitch and know how broke and unappealing to women he is. :o

Because it would end up being "I'm sorry I'm not cheerful enough to be your girl."

What I don't get is why it's so fashionable to be bitter. I mean, I'm sure there are girls who want to never pay for anything, and I'm sure there are dudes who will mock a girl for gaining an extra five pounds during her period, but why do people act like it's the norm?

Lol, you're not that smart, from the sounds of your girlfriend ( i could be wrong) if you bought her all the crap she wanted, she would of probably fucked you senseless, but you wanted to prove a point. I guess you won't get anything from her until she forgives and forgets, why don't you bribe her with a tennis braclet???

Doesn't your girlfriend feel uncomfortable letting you buy her all that stuff???

09-21-07, 05:48 PM
All of this MySpace-related crap has inspired me to consider the faults of my own most recent failed relationship:

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry I believed you when you said you liked having sex.

I'm sorry I believed you when you said you didn't like making yourself up like a skank.

I'm sorry I believed you when you said you didn't like the meat-market clubbing scene.

I'm sorry I believed you when you said you wanted to be respected for your mind.

I'm sorry I believed you when you said you were intelligent.

I'm sorry I believed you when you said there was more to life than money.

I'm sorry I believed you when you said I was wrong, that I believed you actually did want to be with me, and that you did enjoy being with me.

But most of all, I'm sorry I ever expected you to actually act like any of the things you said were true. I should have known better.

I can't say that every heterosexual relationship is so miserable. I won't accuse that all heterosexual women are so dishonest. But I can say that you people bothering to drag your MySpace shit to Sciforums need to consider stiff and regular doses of chlorpromazine.

Get over it. We can all complain that we're miserable. What I don't understand is why we don't get together and do something about it. (Maybe that's the key: we prefer to be miserable so that we can complain; welcome to the twenty-first century.)

I'm sure Tiassa wasn't amused.

I confess that I've overstated the amount of makeup she used, although the point of her wearing any makeup was to go skanking for free drinks, offers to smoke dope behind the bar, and the occasional offer to do lines. And I confess that I've overstated the clubs. Bars with sawdust and peanut shells on the floor don't really count as clubs, do they?

(Seriously ... lipstick kisses taste like shit. That spot behind a woman's ear that is supposed to be so magical: why daub eye-watering perfume there so that the most prominent reward is a hideous taste in one's mouth?)

And I also confess that it is tremendously difficult to be amused by neurosis that aspires to sociopathy.

After all, trolling married men in backwater bars in an effort to find a stable, secure relationship does not, by any common measure I'm familiar with, fall within the range of what most people (as I understand it) call "rational".

Then again, I got burned by a petty, exploitative twat. Shouldn't I be taking this out on myself?

Xev
09-21-07, 07:51 PM
And I also confess that it is tremendously difficult to be amused by neurosis that aspires to sociopathy.

Conceptually, it is brilliant, rather like when my boss fucks something up and gets angry with people for not stopping her. Of course, she is completely dismissive of anyone who criticizes her while she is in the early stages of these fuckups....

Perhaps it is "amusing if one is ironically detached" or something hip like that.

Then again, I got burned by a petty, exploitative twat. Shouldn't I be taking this out on myself?

Oh, it may be difficult, but it's still possible. I don't think I've actually stopped laughing at the idea that she sought a stable relationship by picking up a married man in a bar. Nor can I keep from chuckling when I think about her saying, "I don't lie." Don't get me wrong; it's tragic. But we can't blame Jesus for everything. Sometimes it's best to laugh at human tragedy.

To the key to a successful relation is the willingness of us, the men, to un-conditionally love our spouse, and the willingness of the women to unconditionally respect the man. A man needs to be respected by a woman, to truly love that woman, and a woman needs to be loved by a man, to truly respect that man. Jesus made this clear…

If someone truly loves someone, then they will respect them, and if someone truly respects someone, then they will love them. Men and Women differ in the amount of the type of love that is shown.

And if we man, were created first, in Gods image, then we should be the first to give in and love our spouse in situations where both are too proud to make the first step.

If you’re asking me in response to my post, then the answer might be that the person who only wants sex does not really want a healthy relationship or does not know what one is.

redarmy11
09-22-07, 12:53 AM
Or.. maybe they just came out of a healthy relationship (that had turned unhealthy, obviously), so that now they're thinking: "Hmmm.. I don't think I'm in the mood for another healthy relationship just yet. Right now, I just want to fuck." How about that?

Oh wait. I think you said that, didn't you.

Brilliant! "Don't love me, just respect me". :rolleyes:
How many people are worthy of unconditional respect? Geez...

A man needs to be respected by a woman, to truly love that woman
'cos he's insecure?

and a woman needs to be loved by a man, to truly respect that man.
Not enough brains in a woman to respect someone without loving him? Hmmm, I wonder...

Jesus made this clear…
He'd have been the expert on marital relationships of course.

If a person is not worthy than you shouldn't be with them.


'cos he's insecure? . No, because it is what we need. Men have more testosterone, among other hormones, than women that cause them to need respect.




Not enough brains in a woman to respect someone without loving him? Hmmm, I wonder... . What? Your not understanding me or intentionally misrepresenting me. If you truly respect someone, then you love them too.


He'd have been the expert on marital relationships of course. . He was God sent to us in the form of man….


The amount of the type? . I’m sorry you can’t understand, but I’m sure if you want to and you try, you could. In Hebrew, there are many different words for love that all have a different meaning of the type of love; example: to love as a lover, to love as a brother, to love as a friend… But I was actually referring to the way you show love. And I’m not saying that man doesn’t need affection and women don’t need respect. But the amount of each differs in need between the two sexes.



Big IF, of course.[/QUOTE] Only in the minds of those who don’t believe.

God loves all equal, man or women.

Agreed, but the implications are that men don't need (or want) love, just respect and that women don't need (or want) respect.
Wrong on all counts.

No, because it is what we need. Men have more testosterone, among other hormones, than women that cause them to need respect.
Testosterone causes a "respect deficiency" that can only be rectified by women fawning over you?

What? Your not understanding me or intentionally misrepresenting me. If you truly respect someone, then you love them too.
Respect != love. I can, and do, respect many people without loving them

He was God sent to us in the form of man….
Speculation.

I’m sorry you can’t understand, but I’m sure if you want to and you try, you could.
If you'd written "amount OR type" or even "amount AND type" I might have understood.
But "amount OF type" is gibberish.

Only in the minds of those who don’t believe.
Not just minds: lives, and everything else.
Unproven basis for argument, you followed that with:
then we should be the first to give in and love our spouse in situations where both are too proud to make the first step.
So IF we are made in god's image THEN we should do so and so.
If we aren't (and there's little to no evidence that we are) then maybe we shouldn't do things that way, hmm?

God loves all equal, man or women.
Speculation.

But the amount of each differs in need between the two sexes.

Respect != love. I can, and do, respect many people without loving them So, I'm assuming the people you respect are friends or at least you would like to be friends with them if you had the chance. What you’re saying is you don't love your friends. Love is more complex than something you can throw into one category...there are many ways to love someone. I believe you should even love your enemies...

This very statement from you shows you can’t comprehend the meaning of sentences.
Possible: or you're bad at saying what you mean.

But if you don't remember I'll quote my self.
You see: you can explain what you mean - just two or three posts later.
Way to go.

It's more complicated than that, but in the means of a Healthy relationship, a man has to feel respected.
Again, the man has to? Doesn't the woman?
What evidence do you have for this assertion?

So, I'm assuming the people you respect are friends or at least you would like to be friends with them if you had the chance.
Ah you see, you're making assumptions. You know that happens when you do that...
Nope. For example I respect, say, Steven Hawking, Richard Feynman, Roger Zelazny, Emily Dickinson.
Never met them, little chance of doing so.
And I don't love them at all because I don't know them.

What you’re saying is you don't love your friends.
Oh dear, you really are lost on this aren't you?
More specious assumptions on your part.

Love is more complex than something you can throw into one category...there are many ways to love someone.
So?
You think I'm not aware of that?
Agape, eros.... blah blah

I believe you should even love your enemies...
That's your belief.
Nothing to do with reality.

Oli- To say that you can respect somebody that is dead makes no sense. On the other hand, you could respect what that person did when they were alive or what they stood for. However, to respect someone who does not exist anymore is absurd.

I really do not feel like arguing with you anymore than I have, there is no point. In addition, if you do not agree with what I have said than fine, it is your right to disagree, but I would appreciate it much if you would stop intentionally asking questions that I have already answered, and stating that my beliefs are my beliefs; I know that!

May the best of times come to you…

Respect is respect, neh?
And of that list not all are dead.
Either way it doesn't get round the proposition that respect = love (in any form).

However, to respect someone who does not exist anymore is absurd.
To you maybe.

but I would appreciate it much if you would stop intentionally asking questions that I have already answered
Okay, I'll unintentionally ask questions :p
You hadn't "already answered them" when I asked.
Or at least not to my satisfaction.

and stating that my beliefs are my beliefs; I know that!
Yup but what you're failing to appreciate is that they are merely beliefs, not reality.
