    there's not much worse (in this type of subject obviously) then spending extra time to get ready for something, to look your best, and barely get a glance and a grunt. no, I don't want constant praise and compliments, but at least look at me, smile, something.
    I like that poem, to me, its true.

    Meh, I just want to be respected.

    ^^^
    me too sister...And I just want to laugh and keep life light most of the time. I'm not that high maintenance. If I ask, I want the truth. And if I have to ask my hubby if he loves me, that's dumb. When I really need to say is "I need a hug or a kiss from you" since that's what I really want, without putting the focus on something he isn't doing right when it's MY needs I need to express properly.

    And if I ask if something makes me look you fat and it does, DON'T lie. haha

    This but I do not ask if something makes me look fat because if I need to ask if it makes me look fat then I already know it do's .

    Feminism is not refusing to accept being treated like a woman. Feminism is being equal between men and women. Even as an equal, you can still appreciate being complimented and treated like you're special; even as a feminist, you can accept that you are female. Feminism is often misinterpreted as a desire to be unfeminine, and that's not true. I'm a feminist. I am fully aware of the disparity between the treatment of each sex; I am fully aware of the way that lesbians are treated in comparison to men and heterosexual women. I am both a feminist and a lesbian. I love it when my girlfriend tells me that I'm beautiful, and she loves it when I tell her the same. Just because you believe that men and women ought to be treated as equals doesn't mean that you need to debunk being desired and cherished.

    Men need the same thing. All I get from my wife, who doesn't work, and won't work, is what have you done for me lately? Oh, feeding me, clothing me, putting a roof over my head, providing me with a comfortable lifestyle doesn't count. What have you done the "marriage"? (As if "The Marriage" is a thing)

    Do I get some much as a "thank you" for bringing home a paycheck? Nope! Do I get appreciation for ANYTHING I do? Nope!

    It's a two way street ladies.

    It's a cute poem and of course anyone, male or female, wants to be desired. I felt a little offended by it, though. I don't have a husband, child, garden, etc. I am proud to be independent making my own salary, and I feel the poem should also include the career-driven woman. The poem is a bit outdated in this aspect, but overall, I can't disagree that everyone (regardless of gender) wants to be desired.

    women AND men appreciate being desired.

    It's JUST as important for a man to know you desire him...it is a two way street.

    This is true. It feels so good to be wanted. I spent the last 5 years not feeling wanted, and that sucks. Much better now though...

    Hey, me too! :smooched:

    This is so true. When I am not feeling sexy or desirable, it is always great to hear my hubby tell me otherwise. I have lived both as a single person and a married person, and I think I can honestly say that EVERYBODY wants to feel desirable.
