Fuck this stupid ass shit, always trying to make the girl happy quote and shit. Well shit guys have fucking feelings too! It takes 2 to make shit work. It takes 2 to love. This stupid bullshit of making “her” happy makes “him” happy is load of bullshit

False… a man can be there for the woman. But the woman will not be there for the man. If you say I’m a lieing then take a step in my world.

This might be true but if all a man does is listen and not act on what shes has expressed to him than it is pointless…

I call bullshit…it goes both ways. ..or no ways. ..we’re all equal. ..

It’s all good and sunshine at the beginning but then they get more impatient & irritated..if you have a man that continued this then your truly blessed keep them .
Some call me bitter I can it realism anyone can put on a cover for 3 months .

In most cases the woman ends up realizing the man didn’t get upset because he either wasn’t listening or didn’t actually care ?

This is SO true. A man that listens, without reacting in anger or haste, truly listens and understands, gives a woman security, to openly love him more.
*We love like WE WANT to be loved!

I’m a strong women and rarely hold back anything but I believe it works both ways. A women needs to be there to listen to the guy also to make it work.

To bad they don’t take the time. But if their woman friend calls/texts he has time for her. B***h if u have a headache take an aspirin & stopping calling my man. ???

This quote is a 2 way street. You could swap every “her” for “his” or him and it would apply. It goes both ways. It is never one sided like this implies as it is written. If a woman is also incapable of listening and allowing a man to express himself, she will never get his full potential. You will get a guarded, emotionally detached wall. Im willing to bet many of you have dealt with that. I just told you why. No one person is solely responsible for making the relationship work. So many of these silly quotes make… Read more »

I think when he said he had enough troubles of his own he didn’t care to hear about mine was one of the many signs that told me my marriage was imploding, but then, even then, I still believed he loved me. I was so blind!

This should be posted somewhere where many men can read it and have time to dwell on it. Like the waiting room at family court.

Listening to her feelings is a good thing, considering her feelings ahead of time is even better… But being expected to take verbal abuse and having to listen to her repeatedly contradict herself and lie to you in the course of one conversation… Under the guise of “validating her feelings” is completely ridiculous and absolutely wrong.

to be able to build trust, with each other, learn how to listen first… that’s where it’ll all start. the ability to accept each others’opinions whether positive or negative is the ability to face everything together.. because you two can listen to whatever you throw with each other.
feelings were meant to be brought up.

A man can have emotions to. We should be able to express ourselves just as much as anyone else. People need to understand that just because one emotion is shown at the forefront doesn’t mean other emotions aren’t there as well. We can still love somebody even when we show anger.

This is so true. This is what deepens the intimacy..and for those who have been emotionally injured it vital. Listening without judgement opens many doors. Yes I think it works both ways… men need this too if they are brave enough to acknowledge their vulnerable side.

This makes me sad because it’s true and my husband doesn’t get it! I can’t express my fears, my dreams or even talk about how my day went without him getting mad and saying something like, “Who the f*ck cares” or “I’ve got my own problems. I don’t need to hear about yours”.

I am a strong woman. I dont wait for a man to hear me. I speak. Like it or not. He can too. That’s called communication. Hear me or you dont and vise versa.

Yes. That’s kind of true. In my opinion, I think, That when you, as a man, are being honest, you listen to her, but most importantly, that you understand her, that’s when she is able to express herself, to u. She trusts you with her personal stuff. You start to develop this true friendship, even when you become a couple. The friendship always needs to be there. That’s just how I see it.

Yea unfortunately some men dont possess this ability. They take offense to what is said no matter how it is said. They think the woman is attacking them when in fact she is just trying to talk to him. And some women do not possess this ability either. It goes both ways.

If you put yourself out there. Tell her how you feel. Listen to her. Compliment her. Flatter her. Receive her. And then she tells you it’s too much. It’s her. Not you. Move on. You had something to give her. And she decided she didn’t want it. Her fucking loss. Straight up.

Wow, this is so true! Why is it that with every relationship I am in I cannot say how I feel, it’s like walking on eggshells and even when the guy begs me to tell him what’s wrong after I express how I feel they get pissed and an argument starts. That’s why I just avoid expressing myself because in the end, it’s just not worth it. Is this normal???
