I will say many, many women have zippo self esteem and look to men entirely TOO much to have it filled, but its normal for a man to desire a woman, and for her to feel validated by it. (I mentioned such a thing to a new poster, and HP handed me a beating for suggesting such a thing. LOL.) The reverse is nice, and likely when all the attributes I described above are demonstrated by the man plus a couple more, but it is not a necessary function of biology.
What, BF actually agrees with me on something? Anyway, I don't find it such a wonderful post by HowdyFolks, but you know how I like to throw sh*t in the pot. Actually, if I were in a relationship where the woman shrugged as if she couldn't care less while I was getting ready for sex, I'll bet that would really give me a gigantic boner. Or as Rodney Dangerfield put it, why are cars referred to as she. It's because on a cold morning, when you really need it, she won't turn over. Anyway, why bother having sex if the woman couldn't care less, what is the difference between doing that and self-abuse?
Well, BF blew me off when I posted and asked him about his dominance/submission theory. The silence was deafening, but I'm getting used to that on this BB. Don't join the cheering crowds and you get silence. But, that's al-l-l-right.
Our MC suggested something to me this week that I hadn't realized. The holidays are approaching and we are going to have lots of family visiting with us. My WS is stressing about getting everything organized, but, being a man, it doesn't bother me. I figure everything will get done. Anyway, the MC suggested that offering to help and asking what I can do to help get the house organized is a way to appear sexy to a woman. My WS agreed. So a new insight.
