women want Jesus, men want Mary.. Men Love the Women Women Respect the Men when you go any further than this you are treading very thin Ice an more than likely the "potential" relationship will not work out.

If I only had my own pay-per-view channel you'd have an empty wallet but a bulge in your pants...
Well, okay, not tonight. Jogging bottoms and sweatshirt turn you on?

Yeah, but with enough experience to know you don't have a clue. The men who think they do are headed for a rude awakening.

So, in the initial contact, men should love women and women should respect men?

Why?

It's the Biblical equivalent of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." It was a cultural given at the time that women would naturally be loving (that is, affectionate, caring, gentle) towards their husbands, but might not instinctively know how to respect and uphold their manliness (praise for accomplishments, trust in his problem-solving abilities, let him take the kids on a trip that seems too dangerous to her watchful eye.) At the same time, it was expected that men would know how to treat their wives like trusted business partners, but might not understand that sometimes she just needed a hug, or a thoughtful gift of flowers--i.e., "loving" her in a traditionally feminine way.

It was not that each gender should behave differently, but rather that each gender should remember to develop their less-instinctive side. Major gender stereotyping, yes, but nonetheless still true enough that a modern-day author could write a million-dollar bestseller on the same topic.

Why?

If a man is a man more than likely he could smash a woman face in with a single blow... personally "I WILL NOT" However if you don't respect fire it will burn you.

If a woman is a woman more than likely she could rip a mans heart out with her little pinky and make him feel like the biggest piece of toad dust... personally when I find a potential wife I will love her to the point she dose not want to rip my heart out and "hopefully" she will not.. been there done that.. but fire can generate great warmth and beauty and be use for very usefull things if you don't "abuse it"..

qcc??

.....
If a man is a man he will do no such thing nor would it occur to him that he could, or might, or that a man who is a man would do anything of the sort.
Get back on the meds, JBK, and get this sort of crap out of your thinking.

That's seems a generous reading to me. But I see what you mean.

we have gays in military and women on the front lines now you HAVE to think of it this way. It's a 2 way street and if you "swirve" in my direction you might just get run off the road. Plus I'm on wretched Christmas...
