I know for women we're often told it's important for the man to love you more than you love him but can you be happy when the love isn't equal? In my experience relationships where I went after the guy and loved him more, the relationship didn't work and I've witnessed this with others as well. So is there anyway to find a common ground or will the level of love never be equal?
I think there are plenty of relationships that work regardless of who loves who more. It's about just love and not does it the most.
This makes me think of the little chipmunks on Looney Tunes that were so polite to each other....I love you more......no, I love you more.....no, I love YOU more...
Love should not be measured between each other. Sounds like the guys you ran across were just jerks!
There's always one who loves the other one more than the other, but as negative as this sounds, it's actually positive: Both the man and the woman need to allow the other to realize that if one tries to push the boundaries too far then they will walk away.
It's when one person stays around and takes a beating from the other emotionally, physically, whatever and won't leave them. As long as both the man and woman realize that they can't get away with anything, then they will have mutual respect and the relationship should work out just fine.

I don't know who says this, but it's a really stupid thing to say. Think about it from the man's point of view: Guys, it's important that you love her more than she loves you. Who would say that? It doesn't make any sense. So why would anybody think that is a basis for a good relationship?
Love is meant to be enjoyed. Not quantified and analyzed.
Hypothetically speaking - yes; in reality - it's never equal. Most of the time one loves and the other one lets him/her love her/him (or whatever their gender arrangement is).

Because it just might BE for whomever loves less...?
