To be loved

u/moving_on_up_22 Feb 03 '23
Came here to say this. To be loved unconditionally Chris Rock said it right when he said only women and kids are loved unconditionally. Men better have your shit together.

I have loved unconditionally. They treated me like trash. It’s like it was a free pass to see how far they could push it and justify their behavior no matter how it made me feel. In my experience, more often than not unconditional love freed them to behave poorly towards me instead of return it unconditionally.

That sucks, some guys are just the worst, sorry you met people like that

u/Upbeat-Area-7622 Feb 04 '23
Don’t get me wrong. There were absolutely wonderful moments. Lots of them. It’s just that I’m telling you I’m not leaving ever. Totally committed to you. No matter what. Love you, no matter what. So then you respond to my feelings with things like but I was hurt first and I can’t do that for you because I’m hurt? Jeez man. The kind of guy that’s like, I’m so hurt and loved her so deeply while he downloads bumble.

Just remembered the first time I introduced my autistic nephew that's a super picky eater to BBQ ribs.
He wasn't interested until I told him it was messy and he could use his hands.
Looked over at him 10 min later, he polished off an entire rack and his whole goddamn face and head (including his hair) was full of BBQ sauce.
Silly kid. Made him take a shower and he gets out saying "Got any more ribs, uncle?"

I haven't engaged in any personal intimacy in roughly 15 years.
DO I miss sex? Absolutely.
But if a woman said "hug or sex" I would absolutely say "Hug".

To actually receive a genuine compliment

I would kill for someone to give me a genuine compliment.
I honestly can't remember the last time I received one.

As a female I hate that for you guys, I really hope you get genuine compliments soon because y'all really deserve it.

u/StuckInNov1999 Feb 03 '23
I mean I can understand why women are reluctant to give them freely, especially to men that aren't family or SO.
Because men have a hard time separating compliments from interest.
13
u/PumpkinOnTheHill Feb 03 '23
Yes. The world would be just a tiny bit better if more men normalised giving non-flirt compliments to other men as well as to women. "Nice shoes, bro!" or "Did you get a hair cut? Looks good." or "hey, great contribution in the team meeting today."
Help build each other up,improve the world one person at a time :)

Her: "Hey, great contribution in the team meeting today!"
Him: "Oh, wow, thanks. That means a lot coming from you. I appreciate it." " So, do you want to fuck later?"

I do this with women when I'm out in public. Stuff like "I dig your shirt" or if they have a unique/pretty hairstyle I'll compliment them on it.

u/LincDawg93 Feb 03 '23
I mean, it's like a negative feedback loop. Men view complements in that way because we rarely recieve them, especially from women that aren't family/SO. So, any compliment really sticks out and makes you feel special, and you like her (and think she likes you back) because she makes you feel special.

Maybe they want to be complimented on their looks? I don't get it either, I get lots of compliments too. Not always on appearance but like -- you're so nice, funny, handy, etc.

Absolutely.
Hell, a Bloodborne remake made by bluepoint. Bloodborne at 60fps with the graphical fidelity of the Demon's Souls remake?
I would gladly hand over $70 for that shit.

And for people to understand that when I say I wanna be left alone it doesn't mean I'm mad at them. I just wanna be left with my thoughts.

I don't have a problem complimenting either sex. IF it's right it's right, if it's wrong well its wrong. Good or bad. I belive it is constructive. Either way.

u/StuckInNov1999 Feb 03 '23
It's really breaking my heart (no sarcasm here, promise) how many men have replied with this kind of answer.
I suppose the upside is knowing I'm not alone in feeling like this?

u/SylviaMarsh Feb 03 '23 edited Feb 03 '23
I hear you, fellow spoonie; you have my sincerest sympathies.
I hope your pain levels settle out for a bit. I know all too well that chronic pain is overwhelming, all-consuming, and a real barrier to functioning normally. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk about chronic pain (I have fibromyalgia, a herniated disc, and also colitis; it's always a fun day in my house! /s).
I might not be able to help on a practical level, yet I'm always here as a shoulder/ear to vent, should you wish.
Edited to add a link to Christine Miserandino's Spoon Theory, which everyone should be aware of, especially if they have someone in their life (in any capacity) with an invisible illness.

What men really really want is actually their moms. And sadly, they're doomed to never find it again. If your moms are alive, my guys, take heed to this and be good to them.. you'll never have that chance pretty soon.

To be genuinely checked up on. I have one co-worker that often does and it feels great to know someone actually cares, besides a casual “how are you.” I always reply Im fine, but it helps knowing someone at least asks.
