it's so typical for people afraid to discuss serious issues to try and hide their fear with mockery.
As long as you mistake people's disagreement with you for fear, it's going to be very difficult for you to understand what anyone is saying. I get the idea that the mockery is coming more from your end.
It depends. Whoever has the most perceived value controls the relationship, and in turn, the "sway." I will say, however, that in most cases it is the woman. Most men do not know how to deal with beautiful and are completely controlled by it.
Thank you....the OP sounds to me like he's implying that women are the shot callers and heart breakers when it comes to relationships and that's not always the case.
Exactly where I was going, worded a little differently.
it's so typical for people afraid to discuss serious issues to try and hide their fear with mockery. it's okay guys and gals, I understand why you don't want to confront the demons of gender inequality. i'll pray for all of you just the same!
See this could of been a good and well needed discussion if you left that part out. Now you are resorting to the tactics of the people you are pointing out and those who were on your side are probably not going to take your argument seriously.
Whoever is less invested in the relationship holds the most sway, just as in everything else in life from buying a car to your job security (i.e. if you're in a field of high demand and few appliacants, you're going to hold more sway than if you're in a job with many applicants and few positions). All this is human nature, has nothing to do with whether a man or a woman. When I dated a guy who didn't love me quite as much as I loved him, he held more sway, with guys who were more in love with me, I held more sway.
If you realize that if a relationship doesn't work out, that you'll be fine and meet someone else, no one can have power over you. Anyone who feels powerless has usually given their power away, it's all inside us.
