>>8840176>>8840178You are more right than you may realize. Love as a concept is very different for men and women.
Men ADORE women (their version of "love")
Women ADMIRE men (their version of "love")
What does it take for a man to ADORE a woman? Her looks, her demeanor, her voice, the way she thinks. The desire to take her for his own, protect her, join with her, etc. Adoration is a type of love that sees past all fault, to a fault in and of itself. It's a primary function of helping the man endure all her "shit tests".
Women ADMIRE a man for certain qualities. Thankfully, for men, their immediate attraction isn't always looks. It's how a man carries himself in personality, in combination with looks, attitude towards others, etc. In other words, women seek out a quality they like the most, and if a man fits that, then she starts adding up the "admiration" points.
When relationships fail, it is ALWAYS one of two things happening:
1. The man no longer adores her.
2. The woman no longer admires him.
The man might lose his adoration for her because she's given him so many reasons to fuck off that he finally takes to the door. The woman might lose her admiration for him because he no longer has that quality about him. These reasons can range from the extremely shallow to the very deep.
So to answer OPs question, yes. However, what you think about love is not what she thinks about love. Fathers don't teach their sons about this because honestly, most of them are clueless about it. Then they read something like this, and it suddenly "clicks". It took me until 35 to finally figure this shit out. This means that most young men go into a relationship at a MAJOR disadvantage because from what I've learned, women understand their nature better than men. They understand the function of their admiration, and they'll never speak about it because it's embarrassing; or in the case of some that are more deceptive, it gives them power over their "provider". Good luck!
