What is Love? Part 5

In this chapter we delve into the differences between men and women and why it matters.  

Men and women have fundamental differences when it comes to relationships. These differences comprise how they view themselves, their lives and what they truly need in a life partner.  

We will start with women in general first. Women are the more feeling and emotional of the two sexes. This is not to say that men are unfeeling or unemotional, but rather that women in general are more aware of their feelings and emotions and express them more readily. Women are more apt to display their feelings and emotions to their loved ones. They are the nurturers. This is a wonderful quality and for many men makes the woman that much more attractive. 

A woman also wants to look up to her man. To be proud of what he does, who he is and how he relates to others around him. This point is vitally important in the success of any relationship. It all boils down to respect, a mutual respect between partners. If a woman does not respect her man, then in turn she will not show him respect, she may also lose respect for herself and likewise her man may also not show her respect, may lose respect for himself and her. So respect is key. 

Now for men, what they find fundamentally important is different than women. Men are more analytical than women. They want to feel that they can take care of their woman. This does not take anything away from the woman if she is the more independent type. Rather a man’s desire to provide only accentuates a woman’s own natural independent desires. All women want to be cherished. Even if that woman is the head CEO of a company, she wants a man who can and will provide for her whether physically, emotionally, or financially. 

Similarly a man wants a woman who will care for him emotionally. A woman he can be proud of, and rely on to handle more of the family and the home. Now this does not mean that a woman can only take care of the family and the housework and a man only has to work. Rather this is stating that when you break it down to fundamental basics, it is a woman’s nature to be more aware of how her home looks (whether she cares for it herself or is fortunate enough to have help is of no consequence here) and to be the one her family looks to for more emotional guidance. Where as the fundamental basic for a man is to be able to provide for his woman and family. Now, a good man will have no problem “pitching in” and doing his fair share of the household responsibilities as this falls under providing for his family. Just as a good woman will have no problem working when extra is needed as this falls under nurturing her family. 

Now that we have touched on a few basics between men and women, comes the question; why does all this matter? 

We will delve into that next time in part 6.
