Is it wrong to think you are a prize to be won by those you date/in a relationship with?

[Still-alive]

inspired by this question here. Why do women consider themselves the prize in a relationship with a man?

Yes it is wrong because its very arrogant

No its ok to think that way because it shows confidence

It's a good thing for men to think this but not women

it's a good thing for women to think this way but not men

It depends (please explain)

It's not necessarily "wrong" to think of yourself as a prize, but it's important to remember that relationships are about mutual respect, trust, and appreciation for the other person. If your focus is solely on being "won" by someone, it can lead to a sense of entitlement or superiority, which can be damaging to the relationship.

It's important to value yourself and have confidence in your worth, but it's also important to recognize that the other person in the relationship is just as valuable and deserving of love and respect. In healthy relationships, both people should feel valued and appreciated, rather than one person feeling like they are the "prize" that the other person has to win.

Ultimately, the goal of a relationship should be to build a strong and meaningful connection with another person, rather than achieving a sense of validation or status through the relationship.

I don't look at a women as my prize, bc prize suggests she's a possession. I never look at a girl as a possession, she's free to do whatever she wants.

I wouldn't say "prize". Your time, both the guy and girl's time, is PRECIOUS, time is precious so with that said, I think both can benefit. Dating is also risky both physically and emotionally. In a way, it IS kind of like a prize but a prize is like you are competing to win it with another person. People aren't objects that is very true, but at the same time like I said, time is precious and you want to spend it will people worth your shit haha. Not just someone random. I think this is especially true as one gets older.

Its not wrong but you gotta be realistic and ready to state what makes you a prize for if someone asks. I see it as more of a “blessed” to have him/her thing even if you think you’re the prize. I wouldn't actually tell someone im the prize. Everyone could be the prize in their own way. Some things are better left as a thought in your head than being stated aloud

I am a god damn prize. But the kind of prize at a carnival where the game is rigged and nobody ever actually wins.

[Sour-rose]

I wouldn't like to be thought of as a prize, i'm a human made of darkness, gdi.

[melanieeeB]

No definitely not, unless you're talking bullshit and can't back it up

[Jdjfjcjj]

I think you should actually feel that way, not just think it. just dont verbalize it.

[Freyke]

It can be wrong... if you think you're the prize, what do you have to offer? What do you have that the other non prizes do not have?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, not at all. But this all depends!!!

An unfortunate reality is that a lot of our expressions for romance are possessives.

[llorando]

Can't say that it is.
