@earl-of-trumps saidAnything men can do, women can do better.
"other priorities" - hmmmm...
I cannot explain it, but I do notice that men are more competitive, more aggressive, and gladly take chances, if nothing more
than to "show off". I mean, when was the last time we heard of a woman tightrope walker fall to her death into the streets of Paris?
not sure testosterone explains it all but it goes a long way.

@yo-its-me saidLol where did you get that little titbit?
It strengthens a man to love a woman fully.
@suzianne saidI think there are very few posters on this website that have as much pent up hate/ acrimony/animosity as you do ~ whether it be interpersonal, religious, or political. You are one of the biggest "ugly Christians" I have come across at RHP. So any public lectures about "hate" and "Jesus" from you are a bit rich.
Tell me I'm wrong.
You're always telling anyone who will listen that you're better than this. Guess not.

@earl-of-trumps saidSome men are more competitive and more aggressive and take chances, yes and others are not. If women hesitate to 'tightrope walk' above the streets in Paris, they might consider they have a family waiting at home.

@divegeester saidIt's just true. I know it. I am not as eloquent with words as Victor Hugo, but I still see and I know. Think of the people you know who really love their wife and those who don't and I think you'll see it too.

@yo-its-me saidDoes it follow then that “it strengthens a women to love a man fully”?

@divegeester saidYes, I think so.

Well, thinking of my friends (perhaps I know more from a woman's perspective)- it dose unless he doesn't love her back. Then it gradually wears her down. i guess the bottom is perhaps if she loves herself and loves him (?)
I think men tend to be better at loving themselves

@yo-its-me saidWhat about if the women doesn’t love the man back; does his extra strength obtained by loving her fully also get worn down?
Yes, I think so.

@yo-its-me saidYou’re not too keen on men, are you?
I think men tend to be better at loving themselves
@divegeester saidOn the contrary. I absolutely love the men in my life.

I love the women in my life too.
one of my favourite family members was my uncle who has died now. He loved my aunt. She was unfaithful and I was terribly cross with her for that in my late teens. Towards the end he did loose his strength, he kind of gave up on life when I was in my 30's. He explained to me that he thought it was loving to accept his wife the way she was and that included accepting her poor behaviour. I don't think he was loving himself when he accepted her behaviour. But who am I to say, it wasn't my marriage and I had no right to have an opinion on it. I can only say what I saw and I saw him go from being strong to resigned.
Of cause a loving marriage strengthens both sides- why wouldn't it.
Of the men I know, the stronger ones love a woman.
