I'm ok with that and I understand ;) Men and women alike have issues as to why they challenge everything said, which is between them and God. love Riveroflife Post Reply
View Profile History	Why do women... Posted : 19 Apr, 2010 07:58 PM Wow - good question. For me, some of it is being competitive. But mostly, it is an opportunity for me to stretch myself, go to beyond what I've done before, to seek new heights, try something new, go where no man (or woman) has gone before. That kind of thing. If that makes sense. Post Reply

Posted : 20 Apr, 2010 11:00 AM The question refers to setting boundries for dating, mine can be viewed as strict, especially when it comes to any form of intimacy, i.e. I dont wanna do anything but hold hands. Than the potential mate ask why not other things like kissing, ect, and I say beacause we will fall, and they never take me at my word. Its frustrating, all I want is a Godly woman who will not only respect my boundries but be humble enough to realize shes no diferent than anyone else that crosses them and fails. Post Reply
View Profile History	Why do women... Posted : 20 Apr, 2010 01:36 PM sounds like you are only protecting you and your date which she should appreciate. That's one of the differences between men in the world and man that is after God's heart. Post Reply
View Profile History	Why do women... Posted : 20 Apr, 2010 01:39 PM Well, nothing beyond holding hands is a boundary that many women may not be accustomed to. Because of that, a girlfriend of yours may feel like she's being fed some kinda of line because you don't find her physically/sexually attractive. If she feels that way, that would be reason to push the boundary. Or, she may just have a malicious streak and not care whether you two fall or not. Perhaps she likes the idea of conquest. Men certainly are not the only ones that get an ego boost from that sort of thing. Post Reply
View Profile History	Why do women... Posted : 20 Apr, 2010 07:21 PM Oh! I totally misunderstood the question then. Thanks for explaining. It may be that they think you are saying they aren't attractive. It may be they are not used to that reaction and don't know how to handle it. Sorry to hear about your experiences. Stick with it and don't give up. You are doing the right thing. Post Reply
GraceMae View Profile History	Why do women... Posted : 20 Apr, 2010 07:25 PM Rabbit, thanks for giving more detail... Good comments Pixy. Rabbit... what you want is ideal, but often women don't really want that. I have a few Christian girl friends, who say they'd want someone just like you describe yourself, yet when the man really is serious about staying within these kind of boundaries, then they want to say the man is gay or has some sort of problem. I have had to really get on a few of them before. Putting it back to them, hey-- what do you want, you want a Godly man or do you want a dog! I admire your stance in setting these boundaries for yourself, for at least you know what is apt to make you both stumble, especially if there is a very strong physical attraction. You ask this question to the women, but I'd like to even ask this question to the men. This question was asked of the men some time ago I believe (of course in different words). It can be frustrating when we try to make the adjustments, set boundatires--staying away from things we know will tempt us, and trying to do that with a potential special someone is hard if we both aren't in agreement with the boundaries. And then there's that test-- when you actually do get that close, where it's hard to pull back and then oops.. it's too late! Sometimes we set boundaries, and the person ain't really feelin' it, and will try us just to see how serious we "really" are about these boundaries. That's the kind of caution we must "always" be prepared for. ~ GraceMae Post Reply
