My challenge with some of the men is how

How are men not Reciprocating to you?

Have to be honest, don't see myself as divine, and so I would not treat any human in that manner.
If you show respect and aren't given it back, it's a good sign it's someone not worth dating.
However, the only way someone would be treated as a god by me is to get a burnt offering in the way of dinner.
I do not want to be treated as a goddess, but as a fellow human being with faults and flaws that are overlooked or gently and sincerely talked about.
I want to be respected and cherished.
I don't expect any mind readers.
I like a straightforward approach and a mutual walking away with respect left intact,if in conversation, we discover we don't see life the same way.

If they aren't reciprocating then you have your answer who is worth your energy and time and who isn't.

it only took me twenty years to learn not to give love/admiration/idolization to those who don't care for it .. save it for someone who cares because not everyone wants to return feelings and that's their right as well to feel or not feel however they do to whomever they wish you know? respect their feelings or lack thereof as theirs

If you're giving full acceptance, you would accept if someone doesn't see you the way you want them to.
Not everyone sees things the same way, not everyone believes in the same thing. Accept that.

Relationships/Friendships are a two-way street

But they ebb and flow from one side to the other

Patience is needed sometimes

But isn’t that a good way to weed out those who aren’t worthy of the time you spend giving them admiration and support?

@Boeing Is there more contextual verbiage that you could provide or are you just letting off some steam?
I don't understand what you are saying, and I would certainly like too. 🫠
My guess is you're talking about men not being "present", or at least available to work at it. Am I close?
The spiritual aspect is throwing me off. 🤔 Thanks

You're a good person who goes the extra mile.#
This is why you feel like this.

I know this feeling and after a while of giving and never receiving, it‘s time to walk away. Easier said than done.

I believe that mutual recognition fosters stronger connections. 😃👍🏻

Best wishes I wish for the same ..

Some people show it through action.
And even if you are not satisfied with the level of emotional intelligence that they are displaying, they are doing the best that they can. Be patient. Don't expect too much. And appreciate the effort that is given. ☺
