cowgirl1984 View Profile History	respect Posted : 9 Oct, 2010 01:31 AM Well, I feel disrespected when a guy talks down to me, insults me even if he's "kidding" (although I'm all for sarcasm-but tearing me down is different), being pushy or controlling or manipulative, saying things that he knows I find offensive or being insensitive when I ask him to stop talking about or saying something, etc. So, I guess to answer your question. THE OPPOSITE OF ALL THAT! haha Post Reply

View Profile History	respect Posted : 9 Oct, 2010 01:39 AM Don't worry about it, cowgirl. We all comment on the other side here ALL the time =) And I totally agree w/ what cowgirl said! And since I'm here anyway... What makes me feel respected is when a guy truly listens to me. Even if he disagrees and even if I'm being emotional. Knowing that he cares enough to just hear me out tells me that he respects me. Another thing is not letting me get away w/ stuff. What I mean by that is if I'm having a really bad attitude (or something else bad), I expect him to call me out on it and to gently direct me towards spending some time in prayer over it. It tells me that he knows who I truly am in Christ, that he honours that, and that he wants to see me restored back to that. Post Reply
View Profile History	respect Posted : 9 Oct, 2010 03:12 AM Wow. I'd be here forever listing those. I actually think respect is something already set, some women just don't demand/require it. - never hit me or touch me in a negative way. (a guy I had been dating for a few months, I guess wanted to test the waters and said, 'If you ever do that (somthing we were talkin bout, I forget), I would choke you out' Huh??? I told him, 'Well, I hope we can share rooms, cause you will be in the bed next to me you ever try it, with a gun shot wound') :rocknroll: - don't yell at me. Talk. I'm not a child. BTW, don't yell at the kids either. Nobody with anger issues. - respect me as the weaker vessel. if my man is around, I shouldn't be carrying anything heavier than 10 pounds. I mean, I could go on & on, but I won't. You should establish what's important to you at the beginning & to stick to it. Then whoever you are with will either rise to meet them, or roll out. If you have none, pple do what THEY want to do. Post Reply
DEEDEE72 View Profile History	respect Posted : 9 Oct, 2010 03:18 AM A man who is a servant leader...He knows who God has called him to be in the home. The Bible tells men to Love and understand their wives. A man who makes that a priority. Only God will ever truely know me. But he can ask God about me or ask me about me. We will have 50 years together so it will not have to be all at once. Disrespect to me is men who have given up. Men who say well I will never know her women are complicated so I will not even try.

SilverFire View Profile History	respect Posted : 9 Oct, 2010 04:57 AM What makes me feel respected? When women Listen To Me without interrupting, giving me their undivided attention. I still recall a time where I had locked my keys in my car (yeah, genius move I know), and I was explaining to a woman what had happened. She just let me talk, looking at me with these sympathetic blue eyes, even as I fumbled around for words. I have never forgotten how awesome it was to simply be heard without being judged. Post Reply
View Profile History	respect Posted : 9 Oct, 2010 05:48 AM When a gal lets me spiritually lead her in sharing devotions and taking turns praying together; when she doesn't make fun of my unique personality traits and loves, but instead lets me be me in Christ, enjoying that I am who I am and loving my uniqueness and in turn loving that I respect HER unique personality traits and let HER be who SHE is in Christ, enjoying that SHE is who SHE is ; when she supports and encourages me in being all that God made and desires for me to be in my relationships with Him, with her, with others, and in using my artistic gifts creatively to bless God, her and others!!! These are the main ways that I feel respected by a gal. Steve Post Reply

DontHitThatMark View Profile History	respect Posted : 9 Oct, 2010 10:19 AM Honesty makes me feel respected. You can have hundreds of friends that tell you what you want to hear, but it's hard to find friends that care about you enough to tell you the truth all the time...in a nice caring way of course. :peace::peace: Post Reply
View Profile History	respect Posted : 9 Oct, 2010 10:46 AM Well, first off, publicly, I don't like it when children call adults by their first name, or don't say sir or ma'm, but I know that isn't what you meant, I just wanted to get that off my chest! Privately, like others have mentioned, anybody can tell you what you want to hear; but you can always tell when they are really listening to you. When they know what you want or expect without asking. When they go out of their way to make your day a little brighter. When they ask you "How you doin'?" and really want to know. It's usually the litle things that mean the most to me. The ones that show you deserve respect. Post Reply
