Where is the LOVE, you GUYS?

It's amazing how the minds of men have changed in the past oh, 50 years or so. It used to be so customary for a man to be chivalrous. You know, pulling out the chair, holding the door open, paying for the meal, letting the woman walk in front.....you hardly ever see those things anymore. And it's very sad. Even the most wonderful-SEEMING men lack those qualities. Which is even sadder. SOME, don't even realize they are lacking it. Which, is even SADDER! I just don't understand....why is it so hard to come by? Why is it so hard for men to just hold the door open? Pull out the chair? Show women how SPECIAL we are? (Because in case you HAVEN'T noticed, we ARE special!) All too often, men expect women to cater to them, when it really should be the OTHER way around. And man, am I SICK AND TIRED of catering!

For once, I just want that man who, from the VERY beginning, does it ALL.

I want to be his BABY. His pride and joy. I want to be HELD and petted and CHERISHED. I want to be PRECIOUS. If men treated their women half as well as they treated their cars...their phones...their TV's, I'm pretty sure there would be a LOT less broken hearts in this world. You hear of all those love songs (might I add that are sung AND WRITTEN by MEN) talking about "I'm sorry baby....how about tonight, let's just turn off the phone and tv and just BE"....well why don't men listen and learn from THOSE songs....instead of the OTHER songs....?

And it's so funny how when the woman leaves, because she's not getting treated that way...she's coming second to everything else around him, THAT'S the time he decides to change it all. I guess that saying that "You don't know what you have until it's gone" really is true....ESPECIALLY for men.

Now, I'm not saying that men are totally to blame for every broken heart on the earth. But I've been hurt by men. So I'm on my soapbox. About men. So just bare with me.

It's just such a shame that some men that you fall head over heels in love with, who have all these wonderful qualities about WHO THEY ARE....just can't seem to make YOU feel special. They can't seem to grasp that although they may not LIKE to be affectionate all that much, like women do, it isn't really an OPTION. It's a NECESSITY. Women are sensitive, caring, compassionate, affectionate, loving creatures. Most of our insecurities COME from MEN! And men are the ones saying "I like confidance....why does she have to be so insecure? She's beautiful! Why can't she see that?" Well, because you don't show me enough. You may tell me everyday....which is wonderful. Please, don't stop. But SHOW me! "Actions speak louder than words".

I know how men hate cliche's....but amazingly, they are all TRUE!

Look all I'm saying is it really is the SMALL things. They may not seem like a big deal, and I guess to most men they are PRETTY hard to do...to you, I'm sorry but I say "GOODBYE".  But this woman is SPECIAL. This woman is BEAUTIFUL. This woman will love you with every being she is. With every ounce of her heart and more. This woman will give you EVERYTHING.  But this woman is also tired of not RECEIVING.

So you just keep that in mind when you want to take her out on a date. Or more. "Just enough" ain't gonna cut it, Mr.
