Does the opposite sex confuse you? Do you know that men and women are different and can you how acknowledge the sacred differences that create great relationships?
- Men and women are different, yet equal.
· Often when there is talk about the differences between men and women, women libbers get all up in arms. I feel I can readily talk about these differences since I was an original women’s lib gal, long before it was fashionable.
· Men and women are different and I am glad they are. It is the differences that create the polarity and it is the polarity that creates the chemistry.
- Men are hardwired genetically to be hunters, women are not.
- I have a male friend named Paul that one day shared his version of the male/female phenomena. He said, “Long ago, men went out and hunted and women stayed home. One day the man said, “I usually bring home one buffalo, but today I am going to bring home two”. And when he got home, the woman was so overjoyed that he bought two buffalo that she cooked him his favorite meal, had great sex with him, and watched over him while he took a nap. The next day, he brought home three buffalo! Need I say more…..
- A man loves a woman when he feels he has captured the prize. For this reason, a woman should never chase a man.
- As a woman, it is important, not to manipulate a relationship and let the man come after her. This is not a game but in accordance with his nature. A man needs to feel he has captured the prize, the prize that all the other men would want if they could have it. When a man feels this way, he loves with all his heart.
- A woman feels loved and cherished when she knows she is the prize, his prize.
- In order to feel cherished, a woman needs to not try and control the process. If she asks for a commitment or in any way tries to tie up the relationship, she drastically switches the masculine/feminine polarity and begins to feel “needy”. Neediness makes her feel unattractive, not only t her partner but more importantly to herself.
- The things that make a man feel good are different than the things that make a woman feel good.
- Enjoy the differences. The differences create the texture in a relationship. See through the differences to the “heart’ of the relationship.
