Quote from nitro:
I agree, but the way you say it is sort of apologetic for being a man. When you say "meet their core needs", I think men are too tolerating, or too maleable, in this manner.
The tolerating and submissive type of guy you are referring to certainly thinks he is meeting his woman's needs, but in reality, all he's doing is letting his woman run over him. Over time women lose attraction to a guy like that who is too soft and "maleable" as you mentioned.... and why? Because that's not the kind of guy she really wants at all. She wants her man to "really be a man". She wants him to lead. She doesn't want to wear the pants, but as you mentioned, most guys eventually cave in emotionally and start tolerating way too much. Eventually she loses respect for that guy, which is the exact opposite effect that any guy ever wants, and the relationship falls apart. Soon thereafter, she finds another guy (or a lesbian) who is stronger and better qualified to be a partner.
So, meeting a woman's core needs isn't about accommodating her every whim. That's just relationship suicide.
Like I said, she just wants her man to be a real man, which often manifests itself in the form of leadership, and providing security for her on a variety of levels. But even when a man is leading, and even when he is providing, she also desperately needs for him to be able to sit down and really listen to her when she's an emotional wreck and needs to vent, and that means really listening, not half-watching her with one eye while the other eye is on the game, all while saying.... "Uh huh.".... "Yep"..... etc.
It sounds exhausting trying to pull all that off seamlessly, and it sometimes it is, but what the man gets in return makes it all worthwhile, which is a woman who respects him.... a woman who desires him and wants to have sex with him whenever he wants it.... and most importantly, a woman who loves and idolizes him.
I could keep going but I know this thread is technically about lesbian sex so I don't want to get too far down the heterosexual trail.
