Isolde Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Maybe I am overanalyzing people's choice of words, but why do some women say they want to be worshipped by a man? They often say something like, "I date ____(insert type of guy) guys because they tend to worship me, spend lots of time with and listen to me." Now, it's one thing to be cherished and treated lovingly and protectively; and quite another to be worshipped. If I date someone, I still damn well want to respect him and look up to him, and certainly not because he's an "easy boyfriend/worship source." Not attacking anyone here, just curious why some people would want this.
bayouboi Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 just curious why some people would want this. Because people are different. And that is a good thing ^_^
samspade Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Because they are (usually) attention whores. It's a big red flag, unless they are being tongue-in-cheek or humorous about it when they say it. It's also a sign of insecurity. If someone says this to you, run.
GorillaTheater Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Any man willing to worship a woman* isn't in a very healthy place himself. *Except for the early Angelina Jolie; that kind of makes sense to me.
monkey00 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Maybe the more blunt word that's to be used is just plain whipped? I know some folks who are in this kind of relationship. The girls are a bit controlling to begin with and they need this kind of guy in order to be happy in a relationship. I don't know if 'need' is the correct term...but from what I've seen both individuals seem to be pretty happy. Basically the guy keeps the girl happy as he's attentive, and she isn't looking to cheat because she's getting her emotional/physical needs meet. If you look at it a certain way, both individuals do present a certain level of insecurity.
Trialbyfire Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Being worshipped or put on a pedestal isn't healthy. There's something wrong with a relationship of that nature, at least from a long-term viability perspective. Sooner or later, that pedestal's going to either fall over from the bloated weight of the individual on top or from the ex-worshipper pushing it down. People need a slap upside the head to enter a relationship like this!
