+1 yYes and no. My wife is very much on a pedestal when compared to how I treat other women. She is not on a pedestal when it comes to everything. If she makes a mistake we talk about it. The mistake is not ignored. She isn't infallible nor am I. Infallibility is a hallmark of being human being able to resolve those in a healthy way is important

+1 yI neither place women on pedestals nor want them to put me on one. Idolization is a barrier to authenticity as I see it.
I never wanted to date a fangirl who just agrees with me about everything and flatters me left and right. She leaves me thinking that I don't really know a thing about her because she isn't sharing her true thoughts with me, just saying what she thinks I want to hear.
For similar reasons, I never put women on pedestals.

Avoiding being a simp isn't such a motivation for me, although I definitely don't want to be a submissive asskisser or one who ever tries to buy a woman's interest with flattery or gifts.
The deeper reason I don't put women on pedestals is more a Golden Rule kind of mindset. Since I don't want women to put me on a pedestal, I don't put them on pedestals either. I value really getting to know the true sides of each other, even when we thoroughly disagree on a subject. So I like women I can disagree with, even tease, and ones who also disagree and tease me back.
No one deserves to be put on a pedestal all human life is precious. We are all special. In a relationship, each partner must treat each other as mutually special.

Should, but don't

Each partner should treat each other as mutually special but they don't. I've never had a girlfriend who treated me the same way I treated them. I mean, they all cheated on me so 🤷🏻♂️

@SolitarySolace I'm so sorry to hear that!💔 I hope you'll find the love you deserve...
- +1 y
1. Drop the act, you don't actually give a shit.
2. This is going to confuse you but I honesty hope I don't find love. Love leads to all of the shit I've experienced. Id rather not experience any of that ever again. I haven't experienced heartache in 9 years. So telling me you hope I find love is just telling me you hope I continue to experience the same shit I have - +1 y
@SolitarySolace Remember your only frame of reference in life is yourself, you know your heart, you know your thoughts but you will never know another person's heart or their thoughts even if they tell them to you you can never be 100 percent certain if what they tell you truly reflects their true thoughts and heart. Therefore you are placing your own thoughts and feelings onto my words by insinuating that I said them in a acting and fake way, you have no idea how i felt and what I thought when i wrote that to you.
I never at all wished any ill will onto you in that text at all, I do not know you i never knew what you experienced so how could i have known? - +1 y

Meeting a string of cheaters can lead one to think everybody is a cheater. Such jaded thinking is poisonous, toxic, and has lifelong consequences if not crushed. I too had a run with some bad ones in my youth but have seen the world differently having met more and more people in my life. Don’t lose hope. Don’t surrender your goals.

I just asked a question on here basically saying…why do women feel like they are always the prize in a relationship and why don’t some women treat men like they are also a prize. I do. But I see a lot of women who think it’s only them that deserves that treatment. It’s embarrassing as a women to see women that think just because they are a women they are the prize

Women don't view men as a prize. Women consider themselves the prize which explains their entitlement issues

I'm not concerned with if a woman views men as a prize. Exactly, their entitlement. Spot on. What I was getting at, was that I don't simp, and I know my value.
