What do you think of Chris Rock's quote: "Only women, children and dogs receive unconditional love. Men receive love only if they provide something."?

[Anonymous]

It's common to ask a man or gossip what is his salary or what does he do and judge him on that. Women usually don't want to date a man with lower income for example.

[jennifer_bloom]

Woman also have to provide something and so do children and dogs, dogs have to be unconditionally loyal to their masters and children have to respect and obey their parents and woman have to raise children and clean the home or work outside the home to be loved.

[Mofunfour20]

Its true but only because society has to uphold the virtue of the ones that men provide for and protect. If a woman, child, or dog ever attempts to harm the beholder of said love why should they deserve unconditional love? If a woman becomes unattractive or overweight, why does she deserve unconditional love? Seems like a reward for bad choices. Everything you get in life is negotiated weather its verebal or nonverbal.

Love is always conditional with men AND women. you're not just with your woman just because she's a woman, but because of everything she brings to the table. Before the last 30 years or so it hasn't usually been a monetary benefit, but that doesn't mean what she brings doesn't otherwise have value.

Sorry Chris but thats BS. Women no longer need men but want men. We can look after ourselves now. So guys the trick is to treat a woman with respect and I guarantee she will treat you better than your dog does lol
I am sorry but men need to look in the mirror a bit to understand why they cannot find a woman.

[Tyrael]

Sorry but that's BS. Your personal experience does not equate to everyone else's and there are plenty of women out there who still feel men should be the provider. And now that they can "take care of themselves" the need to find someone with similar or higher salary is even more prominent, not less so. It's deemed as "dating down", maybe you've heard of it.

[Tyrael]

Don't misunderstand me, men are not infallible and I'm not suggesting we hold no responsibility in why we can't find a woman. I'm just saying, wet cannot deny these other factors exist.

[northerngal]

@Tyrael Here is the thing. If you meet a woman who thinks you are just valuable to her as a provider she has done you a favor. She has revealed an excellent reason to dump her and not waste any more time on her.

[Tyrael]

@northerngal oh definitely. Unfortunately it's usually not the only thing they're looking for, so as long as that thing exists, the rest is fine. So they're unlikely to just tell you that upfront lol

[Asker]

So you are an exception that doesn't care. But most women do care about men's salary even if they can look on themselves. What does he do and what is his salary is a common topic to gossip and discuss.

[northerngal]

I think you should never generalize. Treat every woman as an individual. Treat them as you wish to be treated. Its not rocket science. If she turns out to be like you say women are then move on to a woman more worthy. But remember its also a two way street. If yo approach a woman with an already negative point of view I am pretty sure you will crash and burn.

[Asker]

I know that, and I do so with optimism. I am talking from struggles of personal encounters and acts.

There are general things that portions of the population agree with, the salary of a man does still matter to most women. So if a woman is making more than most most people she will think she deserves more even if she isn’t attractive enough to get what she want. This means she has placed herself outside of sexual marketplace because most men who have their stuff together don’t choose women for their resources.

Also women do need men. The majority of women aren’t the ones doing the dirty work, by that I mean all the jobs that make sure society functions like construction workers, electricians, plumbers, truck drivers etc. The only reason you don’t “need” us to live together anymore is because this is a first world country and it’s been civilized enough to allow you to do that.

I'll correct that by saying that men don't recieve love. We recieve the illusion of love, and only if we protect, provide, and serve. The moment you lose the ability to do those things, the illusion is revealed and you find yourself alone. I've seen it too many times

[Anonymous]

It's about right. Look at what happens in the news.. Hundreds of women captured in boko haram.. Public outcry, but no mention of the hundreds of little boys that were captured and executed in that suation.

Basically if a person has a penis he is expendable in society. It's sickening.

[nevernevernever]

It sounds like he's a bitter and cynical man who got taken advantage of and decided his experience was universal

[MCheetah]

Truth. He's also right about this quote:

"Pussy is expensive! Dick is free!"

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

He's wrong.

#1 unconditional love doesn't exist.

#2: Women get cheated on, disrespected and children and dogs along with women get abused by evil people.

[RCLJT]

It’s true, either you have a horse sized apparatus between your legs, a large house or a shi* ton of money, women any more won’t stay around for just a regular guy.

[StunningANDbrave]

This quote is true, men have to create their own value, it isn't given to us.

[Dchrls78104]

I will only ever date a woman for whom what Chris Rock has said is not true.

[dpy87]

Well Chris Rock was a dork and couldn't get girls to like him when he was younger. there's your answer.

[JamieLoves]

He’s 100% Correct!
I like Chris... He’s bluntly honest and says what most want to hide.

[normalice]

Women don't receive unconditional love.

[COMMODOREII]

I sure feel that way many times.

[KrakenAttackin]

Absolutely, positively, true.

[AFellowWeeb]

Accurate af

[In_Trance]

it's dumb

[Anonymous]

Chris be right
