Do you agree with the saying "A man treats you how he wants to be treated first, and then he treats you like how you treat him?" Why or why not?

I've never heard that particular expression, so I'm not sure how much of a thing that is. But no... I don't think guys initially treat a woman they way they want to be treated. From what I've seen of most guys they either treat others the way they are treated OR they acquire a few disarming gestures or expressions to use to appear more approachable than they normally are.

SOME guys do have a gentler side, but it takes some chipping away at the tough guy to reach that.

That’s interesting. I think it applies to a lot of guys but not all.

[RavVid]

Yes i think so. In the long term you are going give what you get. In the beginning you give what you hope to get.

[Dongie]

Agree

[VIVANT]

I don’t see how this would somehow apply specifically to one gender… I think this applies to most people who don’t start off trying to play games. Bit a lot of people are calculating.

I would tend to agree, I just saw a video about a guy not taking the woman seriously and just treating her like a hook up things "laid back relationship' which is pretty popular my country but because the woman treated him good he started to like her and treat her more seriously.

I agree with @itsannalee that's way more a womans thing. Men get worse in relationships. Lazy. Start taking woman for granted them wonder why she changes when she used to be so loving, giving, horny. So women are ones who start out showing exactly all the good things they do and expect reciprocation. When it don't come... we mirror the man's low efforts.

[HawkPerception]

Yes, men get worse. That's the whole point of the saying. Men treat you how they want to be treated, and then bring themselves down to how they get treated. Men are generally the initiators and put in the effort romantically. When they get little to no effort from their partners in return, they bring themselves down to how much they get back. Kind of like working your ass off at a job and not getting any credit or rewards, so you stop putting in the effort.

• Absolutely agree.
• It's a fairness and should be.

[TheSpaceGnome]

That just seems like a thing most people in general would do.

[Cameila99]

Agree to a point. I treat people how I want to be treated.

[itsannalee]

I heard that but about women 😂

It's called game of love
