Who is the prize when it comes to dating and relationships... a MAN or a WOMAN?

[coachTanthony]

This question is not new. Men are taught they are the prize and women are taught they are the prize. Do you feel like you are the prize? Let me know in the comments below.

Men are the prize

Women are the prize

neither one is a prize

See poll ( You are definitely not the prize if you choose this option )

I didn't know that human beings are actuallt served as PRIZES in general.
Anyways, I think both are the PRIZES to each other... obviously MOMS have other oppinions. But that doesn't matter as long as they value each other prizes don't matter. Because the relationship itself is the best prize.

[1sexyrobot]

In a good relationship, both partners think that their significant other is the prize. It's deeply touching when the object of your affection, whom you put on just a little bit of a pedestal, reaches out with a sincere compliment that you know they've never given to anyone else, not to mention how much confidence you get from the exchange. The concept of sitting around telling ourselves what prizes we all are instead of feeling and acting on our affection for others seems empty, selfish and more than a little lonely,

[NamerOfStars]

In one of his songs, Tom Smith said "Romance is a contest, and romance is the prize". A rather cynical interpretation, but I doubt it's far off from the truth if that's the way you structure and live your life. It's not true grammatically, but is true factually: "relationship" is a VERB.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

I was always taught that she was the princess and I was just lucky to be there.

But the answer is neither. The prize is being together with someone you love. It's not either person individually.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Not all men or all women are a "prize" POS don't discriminate by gender, only people do...

[AmandaYVR]

NEITHER.

[Ellie-V]

Everyone is the prize when they have themselves together. Everyone who is in the right space for a relationship is worth fighting for and deserving of positive treatment.
I am definitely the prize in my life. I’m the main character. This is about me 😂 that doesn’t mean that everyone I meet has to kiss my ass. But it means disrespect is unacceptable. I treat other people the way I want to be treated as well. The concept of being a prize should never be one sided.

[Dezmo08]

Are you sure what you’re saying is true? I’ve noticed some large double standards with modern women that suggest otherwise. I certainly hope it’s true but I doubt it. Women tend to pursue men of higher status then themselves. Typically modern women are attracted to more traditional men. But how can you expect a traditional man, if you yourself are not a traditional woman? If you yourself are not a traditional woman, how can you expect to have a traditional man.

[anon1903]

Depends on many other factors. Which one is more successfull? Passionate? Compassionate? Willing to risk for the sake of love, an illusion? Kind? Better in terms of putting efforts forth?

You should always value yourself regardless of what culture teaches you. But don't take the phrase too far. You'd be always a jewel to your family. To others? Gotta prove

[electromagnetic]

No one is the prize. Getting their adeal mate is the prize. Girls are trash and guys are trash too.

[coachTanthony]

hmmmmmmm ok lol

[Prideful]

This I find trash women and trash men too.

[Dezmo08]

Looking for an ideal mate without being an ideal mate, makes you delusional. You’re living in La la land. You should find some gravity to keep you down to earth. If you’re the type of person that gets cheated on, ghosted, treated as friends with benefits, then reality hasn’t slapped you in the face hard enough. You don’t qualify for the people you date, you’re aiming too high.

[MzAsh]

Both partners should feel their other half is the prize.

[Dezmo08]

No I disagree. Women tend to desire men who have more to offer. More money, more assets, more fit, more everything. If the person your with has more to offer than you, you’re not the prize. Find someone more on your level

[MzAsh]

Yes, and that’s the mistake on the woman’s part because not many men can even trusted with offering more without using it against her. (I see this a lot with clients.) Women need to seek someone at about their same level of offerings.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

My boyfriend & I argue about this constantly. We've both just agree that we are one another's prizes, even if we don't understand the other 😂

[Dezmo08]

Again I disagree. I don’t know how it is in your relationship, but men have to do all the work most of the time. He asks you out, he plans the date, he pays for it, and in order for him to even qualify for your attention in the first place he has to have more to offer than you do. This includes higher income, better fitness, more skills/talents, more of everything. The men who pursue women are almost never the men women want. A woman now has to pursue men to understand where she stands it’s far as value goes. Is she getting cheated on? Ghosted? Treated as a friends with benefits? Guess what? She’s aiming too high

[DaveToo]

I always felt lucky when my wife said yes. I always felt lucky when she gave birth to my two girls. My luck ran out when she died. I never really considered myself a prize, particularly.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Both are a prize if they are faithful, honest and kind!

[anonnonaaa]

Neither is the prize. (In a healthy relationship) each one brings something to the table that will bring out the best in the other person and themselves.

[TremorJay]

No one is a prize, because it's not a competition. Competing for commitment is a fool's errand

[Adam1978]

They should both be. But today is often the man that has the greatest value.

[ToastyOats]

A better Earth for all life is the prize and as we are all mortal and prone to flaws we must have children and raise them better than us to win the reward for all Life here and beyond.

[Massageman]

If people think of each other a "prizes", I don't think they are going to be very successful at forming an actual relationship.

[exitseven]

I just know that I was no prize when I got married.

[Wiredone]

Each one should feel like the other is a prize. Of course that would only happen if they are a perfect match for each other

[ThePolishKnight37]

Treating each other as prizes is why most relationships fail.

[ChiTown33]

We're both prizes! I'm the prize. She's the booby prize... can I say that?

[Likes2drive]

None should feel that way or it’s going to be bad later on

[SupremeWarlord]

My option is both are the prize. You did not include that one.
