My challenge with some of the men is how

They are not reciprocating the support and admiration they are given.

If I approach you as a recognition of the divine, I expect you to see me no less than that.

I am working years on that.

I need to receive the full acceptance I give.
Even if imperfect, I am not talking about perfection.

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.

@Justmeraeagain I find that when I asign divinity to another, a different vibration is invited. I need to be more aware and do this more often. It is a practice, you can achieve a similar degree of respect by another way...

@Boeing I only believe God is divine, so we would not agree on that, but you should be treated with respect by any partner.

@Justmeraeagain I see how God lives through us and within us,

yes we don't need to agree on that
but we agree on respect
