Please also explain what. Can be literally anything

If you grew up with your father in the home, and if you had a good relationship with him, then he probably was the most important man in your life. . . for a period of years. But, at some point, his importance assumed a lower position and another man, most likely a man near your age, became the most important guy in your life. When did that happen? When you started getting a crush on boys? When you started dating? First kiss? When you became sexually active? When you agreed to have an exclusive relationship? When you got engaged? How did your father respond to his loss of status in your life?

I feel like women will subconsciously lose attraction for a man who shows too much emotion around them

Or at least give him a promise ring just like what guys do as well as a sign of commitment?

I ask because some people still find it strange or very unusual for a girl to initiate the next step of their relationship like saying "If you proposed to him then he never wanted to marry you!" or that "She's so desperate, she can't even wait for the guy to do the sweeping of the feet.".

To add as well, as a guy I also love rings!

Girls do you think it's true that a Boy's first Love is his Mother? All girls can answer not just Mothers.

I think most people subscribe to the conventional wisdom: once a cheater, always a cheater. And if their partner cheated, they would immediately end their relationship. But some people say that they would try to forgive and continue the relationship, and especially if there are children involved.

I have never cheated on a partner, but I had two partners cheat on me. The first time, my girlfriend cheated with my roommate, and then they both confessed to me so they could shed some of their guilt. At that point, I decided that I had no future with the girl, but I remained with her just so I could use her for sex. And what was left of the relationship had no pretense of being exclusive. This happened about 44 years ago. If it happened now, I would respond with an immediate and total break up.

The second time, I was already in the process of a divorce when I learned that my wife had cheated while travelling a few months previously. We were already living separately so there was nothing I needed to do.

So, I've never forgiven a cheater and tried to return to a monogamous relationship. Have you? If so, did they cheat on you again? Are you still together or did you break up for some other reason?

Generations of women have missed out on so much of life... because the men died off in wars.

Ukraine/Russia and Israel alone, many men are dying or being permanently disabled. Widows are being made.

Would you support or engage in having more than one spouse in a relationship?

I didn't get my first serious girlfriend until I was 29, almost 30. In fact, other than online attempts with girls where they rejected me upon meeting in person or short term dating where nothing transpired from it, I never had an actual girlfriend before that. Luckily and with the grace of God, I am now engaged. It is a huge relief.

This had caused so much grief, stress, and anguish over the years being single with no chance in sight of finding love. Shockingly, I was being looked at as the problem for being so depressed about it. I feel 100% that I was justified to feel this way, considering most humans start exploring romance and sex starting in middle or high school.

I wouldn't advocate for this to be the norm, especially for those who truly desire to have a significant other and a family in their lifetime. I know by the time I turned 29, I was already experiencing erectile dysfunction, libido issues, and low testosterone. Shit, for all I know, I can be infertile at this point. I didn't experience these issues up until recently.

We men all know, that having deep emotional moments are a big no go for our girlfriend unless you are ready to risk it and end up single again as your girlfriend loses all respect and love for you. See I distanced myself from my boyfriend after seeing him cry for the first time. Any advice? to see what I mean.

here's where a separate female friend comes in to save the day, knowing you can't expect a romantic relationship with her, so there's nothing to lose if you go to your separate female friend and let out your emotional sides, cry a river or do your thing, that you can't do with your girlfriend, thatll risk your relationship and her respect for you. No more pretending to be completely exhausted and crashing into the bed when you feel like shedding tears.

Remember its the girls, that make these rules and then claim, that they want a man, who is in touch with his emotions unless you are a top tier male. And if you as a conventional man can't adhere to their rules, then you'll get whats coming such as what happened in the question i linked above. Say goodbye to the relationship and the bedroom hanky panky.
