Mama73, you said:
“I agree with Mike that respect is essential for a woman to love a man. I met so many “nice” guys when I was single that I couldn’t help but look down on. They whined so much!
My husband only whines for comic effect (which is acceptable).
Its kind of cheesy, but I think Doc Love’s advice is kind of right on to guys looking for wives.
You don’t have to be a jerk, but for heaven’s sake only a cruel manipulative witch wants a push over.”
This isn’t 1979, this is 2007, and culture, expectations and the law has changed, so let me bring you up to date: As a man in 2007, you cannot ‘take charge’ with a woman, you cannot ‘tell her what to do,’ or ‘lay down the law,’ be ‘firm,’ ‘stand your ground,’ or ‘dominate’ with a woman or in other words, ‘be a man’ or a ‘man in charge’ that women want. Why? Because today that is now considered ABUSE and a woman will call 911 in 3 seconds if you so much tell her ‘no’ TO ANYTHING. GOT IT? GET IT? GOOOOOOOD.
Try being a man today in 2007, then get back to us and let us know how it goes, until then, you don’t have any idea what you’re even talking about.
