Are Men And Women Equal When it Comes to "Love"?

Sometimes it seems like that. It seems like women are more interested in romance like valentines cards, saying "i love you" and all that, but I really think it depends on the person. I am all for that. I look forward to Valentine's day and sweetest day. ( for those that don't know, Sweetest day comes in October. But I know all states don't recognize it.) I like to cuddle, go out. We have a house together but she didn't want a wedding. So I like to celebrate our anniversary, the day we decided to become a couple. She could not tell you what that date is. (May 11th, 2001) We have a double garage door. My side has an automatic garage door opener, hers doesn't. So I have the garage door opened for her whenever she comes home. These are things that I've heard so many women wish their guys would do. But my girl isn't like that. Now we were in our 40's when we met and now we are in our 50's. I think that may have something to do with it. She just says when you get to be our age you realize their are more important things than romance.

We live in times when things approach to equality (it doesn't mean identity, there are differences of atittude and behavior). Still, even if the equality is possible, some still think in old patterns. Not necesarry bad, because there are both advatages and disadvatages for both genres. Women feel love more intense, because relationships are more important for them and also more difficult to start. They should find the one earlier, because if they want children they can't give birth after a certain age. Men, when they want to commit, they find somebody easier and at every age. Still, they are supposed to earn the living. Women can avoid this if they want to.

Good day IntrovertShy, With reference to your post, as far as I know, generally, man and woman are created equal though there are some instances that they are not. When we say love, it could be a general thing that can tackle a broad idea, hence, a man and a woman can be equal on this aspect but if you will ask for every specific detail of it, there are some points that they could not be equal. Like in courting, we all know that woman should wait until the man court her and she could not do the courting to the man. Except if the woman believes in herself that she must do it. But, generally woman cannot. In marriage per se, there are some rights that cannot be exercise by man and vice versa. However, due to the existence of new ideas and evolution of new technologies, thinking of man and woman nowadays also change. So as, both genders are somehow claiming, man and woman are created equal in all aspects.

It has nothing to do with being equal or not but with different points of view if it comes to a relationship, different ways of expressing themselves, different ideas about what is accepted in a relationship if it comes to the men or the woman. women do sacrifice themselves easily give up everything in the name of love, men will seldom do that. If women do accept that, you can't blame the men for that. Or? If you start a relationship you should show you. Be yourself, go for your own goals no matter what a man wants/says. If he can't accept you for who you are, is not respecting you it's better he is looking for someone else.

Hi introvertshy In my view women get bounded and involved more in to the relationship than a man , and you are right in most of the situations they can be equal . What ever may be the relation a female will have more affection and bonding nature than a male . A female will be involved so much in a relation that she won't care for her and starts caring about the man in every situation / case .

Dear, you might be knowing the rule of magnet. North and south poles attracts each other. In love also, one is mostly recipient and other is donor. Mostly males are donor. They give give and give. Females are there to attract, and males are there to be attracted. But from your question, it seems you are in love and unable to express as you are loosing confidence due to casual behavior of your man. You are not sure, whether you will be accepted by him or not. If it is the case, we all mylotters are here to load yr brain with heavy ideas. But i fear, whether it can help you in any manner. You cant proceed, as your id says. But take one thing granted. The intense of love is same with both male and female, but the mannerism varies. Best of luck.

we are equal in the sense that we all have feelings, we all know that we are capable of loving, that we are capable of being loving no matter what your gender is. but in reality men and women are different, in many ways from physical to mental and spiritual characteristics. These differences defined the equally or the lack of it when it comes to loving and being in a relationship.

Hello IntrovertShy I hope that you are fine. I think men and women, come to equal, since God gave them the same dignity and honor. God made Eve, from Adan´s rib, this means God didn´t make her from the head, so women cann´t be over men, and God didn´t make her from the foot, so women cann´t be under men. But God made Eve from Adan´s rib, giving her the same honor as man. In each culture, local costums or habits prevail. But I think that women has the same dignity as men, no matter if we see the world with different eyes. Women tend to be more sensitive than men. But difference between us don´t deny equality. We should adapt each others. We should meet differences and overcome them to live all together. Biblie says that each of us must find our place in this world. I think that this means that you should find your place giving each day the best of you as your soul tells it. Blessings IntrovertShy... dainy

I think love doesn't equally distributed among men and women. Because both that gender must equally attract each other to enter into a relationship. If love is not equally feel each of men or women, that is no longer a love but selfishness...

No I don't think so it is always. In some cases it may be but when the man loves the women he is also that much interested in her as she is.

I think that for a relationship to even start, both man and woman have that equal kind of love. It may only differ as time passes and each learn to reveal himself to his partner. Then what comes next depends on how they would accept one another with their "truth".

Hmm good question. I like to think me and my husband love each other equality. He tells me all of the time that he loves me more because he can't imagine how someone could love him as much as he loves me. But how can you measure love to know who has the more love for the other person?

man n woman can never be equal....ya....i know society demands it.. but they cant n never will be. god has given estrogen to woman for feminism n testosterone to man for maleness , strong body brain capacities are different by birth , 1250 cc in female n 1400 cc in man women are multitasking by birth because of their nervous system design , while man struggles and can just get a bit of it , by experience female attains physical n mental maturity always earlier than male so men and women can't be same.....they just complimentary to each other...n incomplete without eachother......SO ENJOY THE DIFFERENCE GUYZ.........
