ltjg45 Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Hmmm...crickets chirping from Keenly. How about the rest of you guys, promoting self-respect? One or two sided? I'm more liable to beat myself up for my failures than to show respect for calling me out.

It's good to be humble enough to take it - if you have been out of order that is. If you aren't, then it becomes a grey area - albeit one which still doesn't warrant defensiveness.
Keenly Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 When you get called out on your BS, do you also respect the woman in question? Absolutely I do. If I am being ridiculous the I would the woman calls me out on it. If you are acting ridiculous and you get called out on it, instead of getting defensive and taking it personally, try and see where the other person is coming from. I'm not a hypocrite, so you won't catch me in a "gotcha" moment. Its hard to come up with an example off the bat but if you don't stand up to a girl your dating she will eventually lose respect.for you because she knows she can walk all over you. Its called being a man.
Keenly Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Oh and my bad for not responding within ten minutes... its called work.

It's good to be humble enough to take it - if you have been out of order that is. If you aren't, then it becomes a grey area - albeit one which still doesn't warrant defensiveness.Good point and circles back to knowledge, validity of point and also intent. If the intent is to demoralize by pointing something out that falls in the gray area, nothing's accomplished beyond pissing someone else off. Absolutely I do.

Quiet Storm Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I have noticed this when it comes to relationships- a man often feels most loved if he is respected by his woman, and women feel most loved when they are cherished by their man.

Author MrCastle Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 A bit off topic, but I often see these kinds of comments from you in threads when responding to women...you do know in real life that if you say this to a grown-up woman who has any ounce of self respect, who doesn't have some personal sexually playful relationship already established with you already or whatever, she will find this disrespectful and barf-worthy right? Just checking... Fortunately for me, I only associate myself with women who can tell the difference between sleazy pick up lines, and jokes. But thank you for the heads up. 1
