You are are only seeing part of the picture, men are the ones that leave themselves open for this kind of remarks made by women.  Read blogs here and there are so many bad remarks made about men by women.  I have given my heart to many men and all it did was get me with a dagger to my poor heart.  I am a very caring loving person and a man would be showered in my love, but they aren't there to want or accept it, that is why I am a bitter woman, wher it seems like I don't love men, I love men a lot but I don't love their attitudes about the proper way to treat a warm and decent woman.

Lustorlove...

If you have held these beliefs for any period of time then I totally understand you thinking like this, it makes perfect sense.  Because it is doubtful a man would love a woman who didn't believe he had the capacity for love, it would be difficult to love a woman who regarded men as shallow and selfish and incapable of true emotion.  Would you love a man who felt that way about women? 

Love is a two way street, and sometimes we have to allow ourselves to be loved...

in most cases men will tell you up front that is what is most important and it has nothing to do with love its lust, and if they are wanting a friend its not with a women

ok lets look at women they see love differently then men do, and in most cases fall in love much faster, men start out with lust and then sex and if they hang around for a while they may fall in love to their thinking but not to women's thinking.  But I think that the best love starts with friendship and most men don't go there first.  Sorry I am not trying to put all men in the same category, but I feel more fit my description then don't

I disagree that is how men think

Men do on some level associate sex with love and vice versa but honestly, I think this is more in younger men than those who have had the time to live a little and mature.

We could go to the other side of this misconception and say that all women see men as meal tickets.  I think we are clumping everyone together and not looking at the entire picture.

That's just wrong!!! Love is doing anything for or giving anything to someone without question or hesitation

OFFBEATS
but what gets men into the phase of love is the sex, and I really dont think many men really do fall in love

love is chemistry and then commitment

Lustorlove...

If this were true then men would be nothing more than human animals, we are much more than that.  I once took on the task of defining love...it was six single spaced pages long. 

In my opinion love has little to do with sex or lust, sex is merely a tool that can be used to express love in a physical way.  Love is what happens when the honeymoon phase is over...love is a choice. 

We choose to love and continue loving the person in our lives, it is a promise we make, a concept that we are committed to.  The fact that 50% of relationships fail these days is because people are confused; they think love is the butterflies in their stomach, they forgot to make a choice to "choose" to love that person beyond the butterflies, with all of their faults.

Not all men are shallow, selfish, cretans...really.

sorry but I disagree with you as most will admit that is all they think about and they marry to make it easier on them to get what they want and that is to be taken care of by sexually and physically.  Most are very selfish and only think about what they want and the heck with the rest of us

Lustorlove, with all due respect, if you asked the male bloggers here
how they feel about posts like that, I think you're making more than a few very uncomfortable and feeling attacked.  You'd have to ask though, since i can't speak for the men, but I am a little bothered by it.
