1.2K opinions shared on Dating topic. Do they? It always seems to me that these types of women end up getting cheated on by their men. I think you mean why do women who have more self-respect get better lovers? Because they make it clear to men what they will and won't tolerate, and when men figure that out they have more respect for her, thus she's more attractive.

+1 yDemanding people usually set boundaries
Kind people often forget to set boundaries to protect the heart, soul, and mind. It often requires personal space for a spouse to reflect and think on their own to buy a gift or think of something kind to share with the other person. Often when together there is a regular routine and actions that create a reaction. Each person has to work on themselves to make change for the better.
Without boundaries, often times people walk over each other without knowing it
Boundaries set an understanding of what is ok and what is not, so that each knows what is acceptable
Opposites often are attracted to each other since they often accommodate each others weaknesses.
Demanding people may get that for the first couple of years, while the other tries to please the other, but there will eventually be a time when enough is enough. Usually in this time that person is getting what they want, but the spouse is not satisfied and eventually it will turn against the other. It takes two people willing to listen, encourage, compromise and accommodate each others needs to bring peace and happiness in the home.
Proverbs 12:4
Proverbs 14:1
Proverbs 25:2430 ReplyIf demanding implies thar they're more assertive and make a point of letting a man know exactly what they want then yes, they will be more than likely to get a better lover. A person who is demanding can either be so for positive reasons or for negative because they become manipulative or controlling. If a woman's lover is also demanding then maybe their lover can match them and demand as much from her as she does of them. If her lover is a better lover, but cannot keep up with her demands perhaps their relationship will become toxic and unhealthy, which can create all kinds of problems between each other until one or both are able to change. If they're not able to change perhaps they need to break up and go in their own separate ways.
I suppose it also depends on how you define "demanding," that is a term that could have more than one meaning.
When I googled demanding this was one of the definitions:
(of a person) making others work hard or meet high standards. or I also read:A demanding woman understands her problems and tries to take responsibility for it. She prefers to bring changes into her life by taking requisite action. If she is not happy with life, she tends to take steps to change things around her. or:
When a person is described as demanding, it usually means that he or she has very high standards or is especially hard to satisfy. The word comes from the Old French demander, "to request or demand," by way of the Latin demandare, "entrust."

+1 ywell if this (girl/guy) person is a blank paper, have no experience dealing with people, and unlucky at the same time, there may be a higher chance getting used and taken advantage of (by work, by family, by friends sometimes intentionally or unintentionally)
Demanding woman get better lovers - "demanding" should not be the sole reason why they get better lovers. It seems to me that people who demand things generally have high expectation of virtue from people around them BUT have MUCH HIGHER expectation for themselves (well that's why they dare to be demanding lol) to perform "successfully" in personal, social and working lives.
My point being is that they maybe very selective and particular when choosing partners therefore finding the "fittest" of all (matches everything that he/she like, all the things that he/she can't do but the opposite is great at it etc). However, the disadvantages perceived are:
1) Long term-wise, high "demanding" nature can cause serious disruption in maintaining a fruitful/successful relationship. Relationship should be compromising for each other (never make this a one-sided love for one party)
2) is private space guaranteed in their relationship? Both parties should have their personal space respected?
3) You (or whoever) should have other positive virtues that makes yourself/themselves attractive and warm. Some men/women may prefer demanding partner/s (let them be in charge etc) however this relationship may become quite toxic as this person becomes reliant on your nature.

+1 yPeople who are obedient and fully devote themselves to pleasing their partner and nothing else do often end up being taken advantage of by someone demanding and manipulative, but that's true for any gender. People who can be kind, understanding, fun and sweet, but know their worth and have the confidence and self esteem to put their foot down when they need to are more likely to end up happier in relationships. Everyone has needs. But those with low self esteem often forget that it's okay to have them, and end up focusing too much on their partners pleasure and settling for lesser treatment.

+1 yI don't think you can actually quantify your feelings into being actual facts. That said, I understand your feelings are your own and also can't be easily dismissed.
Logically it's possible to think if a person, regardless of gender, is more demanding regarding what they expect in their relationships, will actually find someone that has the traits they're looking for.
That doesn't mean more demanding people keep better relationships longer. I guess what I'm saying is that what seems to be or feels to be a certain way isn't always true in all instances.20 Reply - 1.5K opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 yIf for the sake of your question I reverse it to show a guy's perspective. Nice guys get taken to the cleaners by women who like to take advantage too.
I think the bottom line is, people who are users will look for easy prey, be they male or female, yet sometimes nice people find other nice people and get on great together!30 Reply 569 opinions shared on Dating topic. I don't think you should see it as demanding, but more of having standards or criteria.
If you want your guy to do something or expect something from him, then say it to him. People are better lovers because they make their wants and needs known, and not because of one-sided selfless actions.30 ReplyThe truth is, however, they say that dominance permeates many aspects of our everyday social lives. Dominance in romantic or married couples is an important but underappreciated phenomenon. The most stable romantic relationships and marriages seem to be those in which dominance is clear from the beginning. Sometimes men will always take advantage of girls who are gorgeous, selfless, generous, and very easy to manipulate. Only thing men has to do is give what the girl wants or Flash some money in her face and next thing he know that girl is completely mind-controlled over the guy until she eventually snaps back to her senses realizing she was violated or hustle or manipulated.

You can be kind and generous and ask, direct, instruct, etc. Do you know yourself well enough to do so? If not, perhaps a little ‘me time’ is in order.
Being selfless sounds a little like the idea of being the hero or victim is appealing. Explore that. You may uncover some interesting stuff.
Also, I believe one shouldn’t lend something with the expectation that you will get it back. Then when you do, it’s a bonus. And if you don’t like the idea of not getting it back, then don’t lend it out in the first place. The same principle applies to being kind and generous.00 Reply
+1 yNot the choice of words I would go for. I would not say demanding but more... Knowing what you want in a partner. We have standards. We know what we like, what we want. We know what we don't want. The chance of setting yourself up for failure decreases as we avoid the men we do not want and go for the ones with the traits we Do. Do not settle for less.

+1 yI’ve seen it happen with men also. It’s a personality thing. Unfortunately kindness comes with weakness of some sort. However it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad if you have this weakness because it’s also associated with kindness, you see? 🙂

@xboxfan1213 go for it. Nothing sexual though please 🙂
Most people who have the nice guys finish last view are talking avoid pushovers that aren't honest with themselves or others.
Girls on average that get what they want aren't actually demanding. Because guys in general aren't attracted to that. And if a girl is too demanding she's either with a guy she doesn't respect or she is and it doesn't last.
Because what man would?10 ReplyYeah, selfless women mostly think about people who say they love her in their shoes. So, she ignored her instincts that he's a bad person and overrides it with "he said he loves me and I can't hurt him" thoughts. Causing her to be blind towards the truth.
11 Reply- +1 y
Intelligent women, look for a average guy who listens to her and does her bidding. If guys were taught how to actually treat women, these problems would've even been here. Most women (as per my research) loves a man who can take authority. But society nowadays pushes a man down saying about how he shouldn't treat a woman, and not how to treat a woman.
They say never hit a woman, but they never tell you how to love a woman.

+1 yI dont think you have to be demanding. You just need a more submissive man. Like i said, i want a man who can be dominant in the bedroom but more submissive outside of it. Its no different from how shy girls are usually ladies in streets but the freakiest behind closed doors lol. I surprised a few exes with my “shyness” lol
00 Reply Men like the chase so they are more attracted to the woman who has standards. If a woman has no standards they think there’s something wrong with her.
I wouldn’t say demanding however, especially if she expresses it with words or looks entitles. But simply not being available for the thinks she doesn’t want, yes.00 Reply- 1.3K opinions shared on Dating topic.

+1 ySame with guy. If a guy is giving and passionate about a woman and want to give her everything. He is usually met with resistance, she wants a bad boy, etc… then these women out here complain there are no good guys… just because she left the good guy that would give her anything because she wasn't attracted to him, doesn’t mean there aren’t any good guys. You aren’t attracted to good guys, you are attracted to assholes lol

I am a traditional woman and believe in the traditional sex roles. Provider is the husband and she is the housewife. Basic stuff people today like to pretend they dont have to do and are entitled to free stuff from others without doing anything themselves. Now if its some emotional issue like he hurt my feelings over a small issue then yeah communicate. I know a lot of losers so thats why i assume we are talking about the basics needing to be communicated.

@Eileen753 Why do you think that you should only communicate if your feelings are hurt? Shouldn't you communicate in the good times as well?

@Eileen753 Well, that's definitely a good start.
In addition, you could ask them how they are feeling. And share stories with them. And chat about interesting topics. And make jokes and laugh together.
Also, the mundane things such as, "I'm going to exercise now," "I'm going to read a book now," I'm going to the store now. I plan to be home in 2 hours.". Little things like that. - +1 y

What is "demanding"? Maybe op or you may tell me because i am assuming its a person going around telling people Give me this, Do this for me now, I want this... And in a nasty tone (as if demanding someone isn't nasty already). So i dont really get who would want to be around someone like that unless to use them for what value they have but deep down have no respect for them.
