Chris Rock once said that “only women, children, and dogs are loved unconditionally. A man is loved for what he can provide”. Thoughts?

I’m curious about what both men and women with the courage not to need to post anonymously think about this.

[LazerBean]

There are plenty of women, children, and dogs who are going through life without anyone genuinely loving or even liking them.

[Sixgunsound]

You aren’t wrong, but I was hoping for answers more focused on women’s attitudes towards men. In the interest of fairness you did answer the question.

I love my man for how he makes me feel. I want to laugh, share moments, and make memories. You don't need a large bank account to do those things. I've been poor and I've been where there are no struggles. If you love each other and respect each other, neither matters.

[Sixgunsound]

@KPoff thank you for sharing!

[Guy13]

A man is respected for what he can provide. And it is actually respect that we seek. It is the women who need Love. ;-)

[RolandCuthbert]

I just find the idea absurd.

I am quite certain he ain't telling Lake Bell that nonsense.

[Sixgunsound]

Of course not. He has the megabucks to satisfy her hypergamy.

[RolandCuthbert]

So he is a hypocrite?

[Sixgunsound]

He is making statements that agree with his abilities. He has the money to have any woman he wants or so he seems to think, so he gets with a woman who wants his money and then says that women only respect money.

[RolandCuthbert]

Again, I am pretty certain he ain't telling Lake Bell that.

Or any other woman for that matter. He is telling the same story we all tell women.

That we love them. And we do that whether we love them or not.

I know I did.

It’s amazing how many marriages go down hill when a man loses his job.

[Sixgunsound]

Or even doesn’t get the promotion and bring home a bigger truck or more expensive car than the neighbor whose wife she is feuding with.

Chris Rock reads and repeats dumb shit like everyone else

[bolverk]

Basically true.

[Fuentes]

That's how we're built

[Agape93]

Disagree

[Sixgunsound]

Go on…

[Agape93]

No need, he's just wrong and cynical

Former US President Coolidge was reputedly so frugal with his words that a staff member once bet a coworker that they could not get him to say three words. Upon learning of this, the president said only “you lose” to the staffer who thought he could get him to say more.
