Meeting #10

Act like a lady but think like a man


"Nothing on this planet can compare with a woman’s love—it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generous and sweet and unconditional. Pure. If you are her man, she will walk on water and through a mountain for you, too, no matter how you’ve acted out, no matter what crazy thing you’ve done, no matter the time or demand. If you are her man, she will talk to you until there just aren’t any more words left to say, encourage you when you’re at rock bottom and think there just isn’t any way out, hold you in her arms when you’re sick, and laugh with you when you’re up. And if you’re her man and that woman loves you—I mean really loves you?—she will shine you up when you’re dusty, encourage you when you’re down, defend you even when she’s not so sure you were right, and hang on your every word, even when you’re not saying anything worth listening to. And no matter what you do, no matter how many times her friends say you’re no good, no matter how many times you slam the door on the relationship, she will give you her very best and then some, and keep right on trying to win over your heart, even when you act like everything she’s done to convince you she’s The One just isn’t good enough.
That’s a woman’s love—it stands the test of time, logic, and all circumstance.
...
Well, I’m here to tell you that expecting that kind of love— that perfection—from a man is unrealistic. That’s right, I said it—it’s not gonna happen, no way, no how. Because a man’s
love isn’t like a woman’s love."


"Women can go over it again and again in their minds, finding all kinds of deficiencies in themselves-"I didn't do this right," "I wasn't good enough," "I didn't love him the way I should," "she came in here and outperformed me"-but the fact still remeinas that he didn't have any business cheating. So women need to realease themselves from the blame of a cheating man's actions-just do that for yourselves. Because holding on to that baggage can be paralyzing; it can cripple you and keep you from performing in your next encounter. You simply cannot drive forward if you're focused on what's happening in the rearview mirror."— Steve Harvey


Comments:

- Men are dumb, they just fuck up, its part of their biology

- Men don't put their emotion on the forefront

- Why do women go above and beyond, but men say they give they all but they're men?

- I was mad and empowered at the same time. Women may address the men after they have cheated and acknowledge that they had no business cheating however, we sometimes go back and think what did we do wrong? what can i do better? what did she have that I dont? But we cant do that because looking back to the previous text we have the ability to do sooo much and a man cant. I have all these qualities and any man would be lucky to receive it so me sitting around wondering what I could of done might be a waste of time.

- The excuse of "I'm a man" is tired and old

- If we are in a relationship we should strive to understand each other and be on the same page with one another

- I have expectations for myself but for guys I dont: "Just surprise me"

- Im afraid to get married, we have visualized our weddings but a marriage is something entirely different
