While I like strong minded, smart, assertive women, other guys are put off by them (or say they like them, but can't actually deal with it in reality). However, I'll try to answer your question.Д«ut please note that this is what I value in a partner. Hey, I think this was directed to me, but I'm not 100% sure. We've been having a bit lovely-dovey with each other the past few weeks, so I'm babbling a bit. I've never felt that an argument was going lead to end of our relationship.ДЄnyway, sorry for the rant. We do get in arguments at times, like any couple, but I've never felt that there was one that we couldn't talk through.

To lose her would mean to lose a piece of myself. To be so fully committed to a person is great because I trust her with my life and would never question her fidelity, but then to think of my life without her makes me really realize how much value her. It's a wonderful and at the same time terrifying in it's own way. We've traveled around the world, been able to participate in hobbies together, and have been supportive in our careers to the point where we're both quite successful. In that time, I've been able to do SO many things that I had only dreamed I would be able to do, and a lot of it is due to having a loving an supportive partner. I'm now 34 and we've been married for about 10 years. I would also love to hear guys examples of actually being in love.

So there is my anecdotal evidence for men not just wanting sex. I did have it offered to me on several occasions (one being a friend who 'felt bad'), but I turned them down because the relationship was always a priority for me, not the sex. So, when I (a dude) was growing up, I didn't want to have sex until I was in a relationship. Tl/dr : вЂњMen only want one thingвЂќ thought men couldnвЂ™t fall in love, want to hear stories of men in love and if anyone else has ever had a misconception like this. Even though I know itвЂ™s not true anymore, I believed it for so long itвЂ™s really hard for me to grasp. So I would like to know has anyone else has ever grown up with a misconception like that and how it affected your life? I would also love to hear guys examples of actually being in love. Whenever there was a problem in the bedroom, even if it was a problem with the guy, I assumed it was my fault (even if it was something like drinking too much) and it made me feel completely worthless, since I thought that was my only purpose in a relationship. In addition, I pretty much assumed sex was a requirement of relationships from the age of 13 on because вЂњthatвЂ™s what men wantвЂќ.ДЄnd since I thought my only purpose in a relationship was sex I expected the sex to be all about the guy, and didnвЂ™t expect a guy to do anything for me in the bedroom, and therefore didnвЂ™t enjoy sex until 6 years ago when I met a man (my now husband) that made orgasm every single time.

As a result of that impression, the bar I set for men in my life was very very low. I didnвЂ™t think men were capable of loving. IвЂ™d heard things like that so much it skewed my understanding of men I thought woman fall in love, and men are in relationships for sex. I (31f) resized a few years ago that the вЂњmen only wants one thingвЂќ cliche isnвЂ™t true.
