A love relationship won't work unless there is mutual respect with both parties.
Gotta have both. And I think part of love is respect. I'm not sure how you could love someone you don't respect.
Down to a choice, one or the other, I guess Love.
This is silly I'd he loved you he would respect you. You can respect someone without loving them though.
You absolutely can respect a person you don't love.
I’m interested in the numbers as well. Shoulda made it a pill. I asked a similar question comparing men’s value of sex to relationship. Check it out after it builds a while.
If a girl said she loved me, but she didn't respect me, I wouldn't consider it love. I would call that fake. I don't want anyone's fake love.
Attraction and respect can be two different things. But love and respect usually go much more hand in hand via my definition. Not sure if I agree with how you titled that question.
The question is tonchooseone but people are just giving their opinion of love and respect instead of answering my question and picking one.
It’s possible for a man to be very physically attracted to a woman but not respect her. For example I would bang AOC but hearing her talk about politics is like hearing nails scrap on chalkboard. I think she is dumb as a rock.
Just curious do women feel this way about attractive guys who have personalities/viewpoints they hate?
@backblueblack22 exactly!! Love and respect go hand in hand. I don't know what guy she's after but he is not interested in her
@Uptowngirl88 wbat is your problem, sis? Seriously?
@Uptowngirl88 yes love and respect while not exactly same do go hand in hand. However attraction isn’t always the same thing is love nor is it the same thing as respect.
Just curious do women more closely equate attraction to respect than men do? That is are there guys who they don’t personally respect but still want to sleep with? I can see some men being this way but not women.
@backblueblack22 exactly!!
Apparently the asker doesn't understand love and respect goes hand in hand. I think she feels simple attraction equals respect. I'm confused by her thought process considering she's 37. By now she should know love and respect go hand in hand
@Uptowngirl88 I'm surprised a grown woman chooses to cattily indirectly speak about me instead of having a thread with me on this. Because someone poses a hypothtetical question you assume they don't understand that love & respect and goes hand in hand in a healthy relationship and they are desperate for a man.
I respect people I don't love all the time. I've repeatdly acknowledged on this thread that love and respect are ideally intrinsic but was engaging G@gers in a bit of a philosophical exercise.
This thread isn't about attraction at all actually.
I see it's a bit more than your intellectual capacities so you've decided to go the basic route and project your lack of understanding on to me.
@Uptowngirl88 there are as just as many Wendy’s as Peter Pans out there. Although I don’t want to make any other assumptions about the asker (her question is more naive than bad) I too agree that she doesn’t understand the dynamic.
@coulis I’ve met women over the years that I loved and respected but I for better or worse weren’t attracted to. I’ve also met extremely bitchy women who I wouldn’t mind banging (especially rough/doggy style as a way of showing dominance over her bitchiness) but I neither loved nor respected.
Sorry for the imagery above but I’m just having a hard time comprehending the title of your question. Also let’s asks a question about a different dynamic: do women respect attractive men more? Seriously I think they do. They might not “love them” per se but don’t see many women respecting men who they don’t find attractive.
@blackblue22 I can be moody, impulsive and talk too much but naïve is one thing I am not. There are plenty of people who understand the question. Cheers.
@backblueblack22 ^^^
@backblueblack22 yes for a 37 year old I seen this as a very naive question.
@Uptowngirl88 plenty of other people understood the question, dear. I'm so sorry you couldn't. My question details explains it.
Respect. You can definitely have respect without love, but it's difficult to have love without respect. If a guy doesn't respect me then I know he for sure doesn't love me.
Is it possible to love someone you don’t respect? 🤔
Yes. I've seen it.
Respect must come first in All Relationships no matter how platonic
Yes, in healthy relationships HOWEVER the *question* is if you had to choose.
Well respect. If someone doesn't respect me there is no point in interacting with that person
You can’t love someone fully without respecting them?
How can you love someone if you don't respect them?
It is so possible! People disrespect their partners all the time due to their underlying issues. People who would never let them cross such boundaries are treated better than their SO.
oh right yeah... abusive partners.
Respect always comes first
I can help women understand something here if I may.
Men don't respect you; they love you which looks like respect, but men could never fuck something they respect.
how would you even love someone without respecting them? XD
Respect is a social construct and on the basis of someone’s own experiences/morality. You can’t love someone without respecting them anyway.
If he's worth spending time with why shouldn't you have both
Respect, because if he says he loves you the he will automatically respect you. There is no love without respect. True love comes with respect, infatuation is without.
What love can you get where the respect doesn't come with it?
Nice to see there are still a tiny handful of women who put love above their egos.
Respect! Common sense now!!
How do u respect someone and not love them?
Oh so possible
There are people I cannot stand but respect them for being they're authentic selves or doing something remarkable while I wouldn't want to talk to them for even 2 minutes.
Looks to me you respect “authentic people in general” not particularly these people u don’t like
Ok. Well, I am aware of who I do and don't have respect for. I do repsect people that I don't fundamentally care for at times.
