Men and respect

[Gigabitch]

I think the question more applicable to this thread is "what is the difference between self-respect, and pride?"

That is a damned good question. IMO, there's no room in pride for humility, and humility is crucial to being respectable.

This is turning into a very good thread. I am absolutely fascinated to learn whether men are more interested in actual respect or just the appearance of respect.

I am more interested in having respect than the appearance of it. Because I have found people are more willing to go the extra mile or what ever because they respect me compare to me making them respect them.

"Love thy neighboor as you love your self"
"Treat others how you want to be treated"

I think those two sayings speak for them selfs.

I recently read in a book that what men desire more than love is respect from their spouse/girlfriend. Not that they don't want love, but rather if they had to choose from the two, they'd choose respect. They spouted off some statistic stating that 85% of men would rather have a wife respect and not love them instead of love and not respect them. Just curious, males- is this true?

I would prefer one normal woman...just a normal women. If I can find that, then I think I'll have more time worry about the love/respect dichotomy.

I don't think I could date one more 30ish single woman who goes to an environmentalist "save the planet" rally on Friday evening then drives 150 miles in her fossil energy car to go rock climbing (wearing hi-tech climbing gear made of more hydrocarbons) in some national park. That is total hypocrisy and I can't tell you how many of that type I seem to run into these days....

So getting back to the point...send me "normal" and I'll answer your question

PS Can you tell that I went on a date recently?
