think about it men ask women out men buy women flowers men buy women candies men buy women jewelry men propose to women men are willing to provide for their wives.. and they (husbands) won't feel like their wives are using them. men compliment their girlfriends/wives when have you ever heard of a man getting mad because he didn't receive a gift for his birthday? i just don't get it... why does it seem like men give a lot more love than what they receive from their girlfriends/wives?????? do you think such phenomena takes place because women take the men in their lives for granted? i mean, for women is so easy to find a boyfriend, so maybe she feels like it's so easy to reeplace him .. could that be the reason?

Good point, and here is my opinion.. I always wanted the romantic man portrayed in movies. I want to feel special and know I'm loved. I don't care about candy and jewelry. I fall in love when my husband opens the door for me or sends me an "I love you" text. For him, I cook dinner, make the bed, surprise him with a milkshake. I think it needs to be give and take for each side to make a relationship last. What you are describing is not a successful relationship. Example: If you surprise me with flowers, I'll make you your favorite dinner, because I want to. It's 100%/100%. Hope that makes sense and I got my point across!
Other Answers:
- I'd agree that women take men for granted. They fought for equality, but they still want special treatment.
- Typically it's because they are displaying their role as the man who provides. The woman respect (which is what most men want) in order to receive love. It goes both ways.
- Back in the day, that was a stereotype because men provided for women. Women wouldn't work and didn't have the money to pay. Instead, she would serve him (clean, cook, babies, etc). In a way, a woman was defined by a man and controlled. It was a sad, sad time for women.
Today, women have careers and better lives. Many relationships split bills 50/50 while eating out, seeing a movie, etc. Also, I don't expect anyone to give me flowers and candy. Once in a while I will buy him a treat or gift, and once in a while he'll do the same for me.
Some people may still want the traditional way in a relationship, but really, it's a thing of the past. - Love doesn't come in the form of roses, chocolate or sparkly things.
- You've got a funny way of measuring love. Love isn't about buying things. It's about loving and caring. And men never need to get mad because "he didn't receive a gift for his birthday". That is because it doesn't happen. Women always give gifts.
- it seems like that because more times then not that IS what is going on.
Thats why i'm a good wife an ensure my husband who does spoil me with well he asked me out and proposed. i don't get jewelry or flowers or candies i get things I personally want!! ;) - Good point, and here is my opinion..

Hope that makes sense and I got my point across! - Well, take a look at Manhole's answer in the following question (people did NOT like it, so it is hidden):

And check out Cactus Cuddles comment about Manhole's answer (she put it in the source section of HER answer for some reason).
I personally make no comment one way or the other. I'm just passing along the cynicism. My work here is done.
