FitChick Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Read this comment elsewhere regarding how a good relationship can change you: "I think that if you are loved by the right woman and in the true sense, you do experience an attitude adjustment that makes you the best person you can be and you become capable of doing much more than you could without that love." I've seen that played out in real life with friends. 6
todreaminblue Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I agree. A good woman motivates the crap out of me. Definitely makes me want to be a better guy. thats where i think it works enigma the motivation thing...not a demand but a motivating factor with love.....love excels in motivation...when you have good love ....a true love.....male or female...it does motivate you to achieve all that you can achieve...because you have that unconditional love and support behind you..............deb 1

OpenBook Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I've seen the same thing every once in a great while. The two halves are better together than they are apart. The big question in my mind is, what is one's definition of a "good woman"? What does that look like? Is it all that different a picture from one man to the next?
insert_name Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I do worry that I would be a much better person if I was in love. The idea only serves to make me more downbeat at the fact that I'm not though, unfortunately.
Rejected Rosebud Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I think that the right partner elevates a person ... 2
Xiang Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 HMm yes, but it depends i guess. I have been a better me when i was in love and with my partner, working harder, achieving more, simply being a better me. More happy, nicer with my familly, everything. So yeah having the right love can help. But then you run across those people that say if you can't be like that or be happy single...you don't deserve it...eh nevermind. Yes i agree, i've seen and i have felt it. And it is what i need in order to be more motivated, alone i'm such 'meh' about anything. I have this need to procure for someone, but i don't have that someone in my life. Sorry for my english or not making much sence, i'm tired as hell. Even i think i'm writing some bullbutter right here XD.
Under The Radar Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I'm feeling a lot of love in this thread. 1
Ninjainpajamas Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I don't know if it makes you the best person you could be, as women can also become enablers to unhealthy choices that men make, but I think it's common sense among men who have experienced being with a good woman for them, that it definitely makes a difference...a huge difference. Good loving women will give you the support you need to face some of those bigger obstacles and challenges you'll face in the world otherwise alone, because I think as men we are often expected to deal with a lot of things our own whereas women; not always, do tend to have more emotional support system from their friends and family...but for some reason based on my experience, those kinds of men who usually have that kind of support system already, become dependent on it and a bit less aggressive and bold. At any rate, I think the right woman can definitely bring out the best in a man...but I don't know if it necessarily has to do with love, other than the fact that's why she's willing to be that woman for him.
insert_name Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Actually, perhaps thats not quite so true, some of the greatest scientific minds had no discernible success/interest in women and that did not hinder the great works they undertook- Tesla being a great example of how its possible for a man to need a woman like a fish needs a bicycle.
Targetlock Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I believe this to be very true, for both sides the love of the right person can be very inspiring and invigorating. 2

Do you motivate a woman to want to be a better woman i.e. be the best she could be career wise? I am sure that quote above was written by a woman who is a feminist

Anela Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Same can be said for a good man. Yes, it can.

A deaf -mute, with a tight bod and a set of 38DD's......:laugh: All kidding aside, there is no "one size fits all"....Each one has to be the compliment to the other and everyone is different....I do agree with the others....It can be great if the pieces fall into place... TFY

TFY Such a cliche' but true. To me, a "good woman" is one that is independent, has a professional career job that pays well, doesn't wear jeans every day, is friendly, respects me, caring, a small bubble bum, doesn't drink heavily/swear/smoke, cooks and likes sex.

In conclusion, you haven't found the right partner.
